Electric Pocket have kindly told us they are introducing BugMe!, the popular note-taker and reminder application, to iPhone users. For well over a decade, PDA and smartphone users have been using the App to create notes and set reminder alarms to keep them on-task and on-time.
“BugMe! for iPhone brings the classic app to a new audience on the iPhone, as well as answering the pleas of long-time users who were missing a faithful friend!” said Iain Barclay, Electric Pocket’s chief products officer.
The App lets users jot quick notes and doodles – with their finger as the pen – just like a digital sticky note. BugMe!‘s handwritten notes can be organized for reference, or easily shared by email or Twitter. Users with iPhones can set an alarm time on each note and the APp will sound the alarm and show a reminder when the task is due.
The new release of the App introduces a first for iPhone users – the “Save to Home Screen” feature lets users save a copy of any note to the iPhone’s app launcher screen. These small handwritten notes can be dragged and positioned as with any application icon so important BugMe! notes and reminders can be organized and visible on the iPhone’s Home Screen at all times.
The iPhone version of BugMe! enables users to start a note on a choice of coloured paper styles or on photos from the user’s album. With the iPhone’s camera, users can quickly snap pictures and then jot notes directly on it for shopping reminders or a fun email or tweet.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
