Quick App: BugMe! for iPhone
One of my favorite apps from my days using Palm OS was BugMe! Back in the day, it offered functionality that the Palm OS did not have in its Memo/Notes applications. You can pick up BugMe in the app store for a deal [$0.99 - iTunes Link]. Let’s take a look at what BugMe! For iPhone has to offer.
BugMe! is setup to have a cork board-like interface where you can stick your notes and rearrange them in any order you like. From the launch screen you can view and rearrange your notes as you want by tapping and holding. You can tap the “New Note” button to create a new note. Once created, you have several options available to you:
- Ink or eraser
- Change ink thickness
- Change note color and add an image to the note
- Share note (email, Twitter, Home Screen, Photo Album)
- Alarm
Another nice feature is the ability to set custom alarms with push notifications. This can come in really handy if you jot down a quick note and need to be reminded later.
I like this 1.x release of BugMe!. It is simple and fun, but lacks some features such as resizable notes (ya just can’t fit in a lot of the release given, even with a smaller ink size) and options to not size-to-fit images you place on a note. Other than that, if you are looking for a simple ink note app for your iPhone, BugMe! fits the bill! Lots of pictures after the break!

This was also one of my early Palm favs. Chadlove, you’ve sold me yet another app!
nice app, i bought it too
I was such a BugMe fanatic back in the day! I wonder will there be template packs? I told myself no app store shopping this month but I’m about to break my own rule!
Another BugMe! fan, one of my most used apps on the old Palm, and the BlackBerry version is handy also. But I need it for the iPod Touch, and the alarms won’t work without connectivity. Hey, Electric Pocket, you listening? Please write an iPod Touch version that features alarms (other note apps do it…).
Yep, we’re listening – lots of updates to come
