The app is useful in some situations such as writing down random numbers that you don't want to save in contacts, or helping you remember important appointments...etc. Note that NotiNotes lets you choose whether you want to make any note you write permanently pinned to the notification bar, ie not deleted when you swipe left and right over the notification.
