Help Color Note (Widget) How?

Since losing the stock sticky note widget(what were they thinking!?) I've downloaded Color Note from the Play Store. The FAQ says to create a widget to long press on the homescreen and choose widget. I don't have the widget option when I long press on the homescreen, only wallpaper, live wallpaper and gallery. Anyone know how to put a Color Note WIDGET on the homescreen?
Thanks
 
Go to apps,then widgets,and there will be a widget there for color note,long press on it and drag it to ur home screen
 
That doesn't work. That was the first thing I tired (just like other widgets). In fact, I haven't found a widget yet that will "stick" to the homescreen with JB.

I've been using color note for some time now and I assure u that there is numerous widgets put in the widget section for it! U may have to reboot ur phone after u installed for them to show up!
 
I also can't get ColorNote widgets to stick except for the one that is ColorNote Today 2x2. The other two widgets can be dragged to a screen, but upon releasing open up the ColorNote app and when closed no widget is on the screen and I immediately get kicked back to the Widget selection screen. I can move the ColorNote app icon to a page. I have a number of other widgets being used with no problems. It just seems to be ColorNote.
 
I think they removed stock widget since they want you to use Google Keep. Personally, I find ColorNote better than Google Keep currently. I use ColorNote mainly for reminder, a feature that Google Keep doesn't have currently from what I see.
 
I realise this is an old thread, but I had the same problem and solved it. Thought it would be nice to share for anyone else looking for a solution.

The app needs to run from the phone and not the SD card to have the widgets available. This seems to be the case with most apps
