4 Note-Taking Apps for the iPhone
With the advent of the iPhone, the smart phone that put the word smart into cell phones, the simplest of tasks have become elevated to new heights never dreamed of before. The act of doodling, often discouraged, is now given the honor and glory it has so long deserved. These four apps will empower your ideas like Madonna on steroids. How many great ideas have been lost over the ages with that scrap of paper that was never able to be retrieved due to its being lost in that proverbial scrap heap wherever pockets were emptied into?
Evernote
Evernote is about consolidating all of your important and not-so-important data across all of your gadgets. It is very much like Apple’s own iCloud concept. Why not just use iCloud? If all of your devices are Apple compatible then go for it. But what if you have an iPhone, a Windows PC and a Blackberry? Get Evernote. Its advantage is that it works across multiple platforms. The note you scribble on your iPhone can then be retrieved from your Wintel PC and accessed from your BlackBerry. The app is available in 24 languages.
Springpad
Springpad is part of the vanguard of new cloud-based apps that will deluge us with usefulness. Springpad can be your springboard to new clarity in your thinking and doing by placing and keeping the data and information you need there where you are when you want it. We Twenty-first centurions are so lucky to have an app like this. Now you won’t have to worry about that post-it getting caught on your library book and disappearing with that important task that you were supposed to remember. Your post-its, loose notes, stray thoughts, shopping lists or any kind of data that you need will always be at hand.
Neu.Notes
Neu.Notes is really cool because your notes become PDF files and will work with fancier applications like Illustrator. It offers different choices of pen styles and colors for super creativity. As if that weren’t enough (with all of the wonderful, absolutely free apps the iPhone user has to choose from, he and she must be completely and irreversibly jaded by now), with Neu. Notes you can hook up an external monitor to view your virtual ideas taking shape. Map your creations of the mind with heretofore undreamed of pliability. When you are ready dropkick them to the dropbox to spring them on the world.
Draw Pad Pro
Draw Pad Pro is a popular app that will help you to organize your notes into a more organized and erudite package than has previously been possible. The app features a one of a kind tracing tool to help spark the sometimes overworked imagination. Real world notes, that is, those notes that are done on real paper, can often wind up lost and/or in a pile of junk that gets carried off by the wind. Even if you don’t lose them, they can be devilishly hard to organize. Enter Draw pad Pro, with its innate ability to collect and identify, you can finally extract from your notes the many ingeniously clever ideas and concepts that too often get tossed with the trash.
