Version notes

Version number: Varies by device

• We like to make it as easy as possible for you to capture all your notes, big or small, so we've added the ability to create a new note straight from the jump list.

• We've changed our font from Segoi UI Emoji to Segoe UI for a few different reasons, the most important being that we now support ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. An important change, we think you'll agree.

• Our text was doing a little dance when you tried to resize your notes. It's taken its dancing shoes off now and will stay still as you resize.

• We've made a few little UI adjustments to the upgrade prompt, such as removing the Later button. You'll now find a neat little X in its place.

• Finally, we made a few adjustments so that the app will be speedier at launch. Enjoy!

These are fantastic updates and one that will help users enjoy Sticky Notes even better. Thanks Windows!
