BugMe! has been a commercial success in the handheld computing industry, enabling users to quickly and easily handwrite notes or sketches directly on the screens of their handhelds and set reminder alarms. By offering BugMe! NotePack stationery templates to BugMe! users, Electric Pocket has further extended the useful nature of BugMe!. BugMe! Comics is a series of humorous message packs and features popular comic strip characters such as Garfield, Bizarro, Cathy and Ziggy. Examples from the Comic Notes collection include a "To Do" stationery template featuring the image of the popular Cathy character with her trademark pile of paper on her desk, and an "It's Time" reminder note featuring a sleepy Garfield taking his frustration on a dreaded alarm clock.
Elisabeth Liddell, the FoxPop reviewer who awarded BugMe! as her choice for Application of the Year, tested the Pocket PC version which works very similarly to the Palm OS and Symbian versions. "I use the program for anything that needs an alarm, from timing cooking to reminders to set a TV program to meeting reminders," said Ms. Liddell. "And I also use it often as a simple note-taking facility - there is no need to set an alarm at all. This makes the program even closer to the Post-It note!"
