Notepads and android
If you type the phrase notepad into the Google playstore
search box you will get over one thousand results. All of them serving the same
purpose with more or less functionality but only a few of them stands out of
the crowd. Instant note taking on mobile phone instead of traditional notepads
have become a trend, after all who wants to carry additional items in their bag
pack. People like to create digital notes, to do lists, itinerary, even
reminders on their mobile devices. So which application is the best for note
taking purpose??
Google keep is the best note taking app in terms of
functionality and simplicity. Google keep makes it easy to create and manage
notes easily with their clean material design interface. Additionally you can
use it with various devices all of them will be synchronized with each other.
It’s simple and clean but lacks high level of productivity.
Evernote is the big daddy of note taking application with a
tons of features and functions. It comes with good device support available on
all major platforms like Android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows phone etc.
Organization of notes is very convenient in Evernote (you can arrange notes by
creating different notebooks). Full size desktop Evernote app is also available
on Windows and Mac Os. Creating Voice notes is also possible with Evernote.
Although in the free version the user is given a limited storage for a month
(additional storage can be purchased by spending few bucks). All over it’s
great but its bit complex for new users and amateurs.
Microsoft One Note, it is only recommended for those users
who use Microsoft’s office suite. It’s very similar to Evernote but it comes
with a deep integration with Microsoft office. The Notes are shared with
Microsoft’s OneDrive, cloud makes it easier to find the files manually in
OneDrive. The OneNote app has nice and cool animation effects which might
require good specifications in the device installed. Although it’s an awesome alternative to
Evernote but it may not appeal to some audience. All over the One note app
gives more professional like experience than Evernote but it still lacks some
functionality.
