a note-taking app is a super simple idea it's for you know taking notes but when your phone is involved there's actually a lot more you can do sometimes your notes are text sometimes their pictures are weird drawing sometimes their checklists and who knows what else a really good note-taking app can handle anything anywhere at anytime and that's why Evernote is the best note-taking app on the planet and it's the best on almost any platform - it can be a little unwieldy at first but it's so incredibly powerful that we'll always be able to work with whatever you're doing if you just want to keep a list of text notes there's great organization tagging and sharing built into both iOS and Android you can also clip from the web to Evernote or take pictures or use the reminders feature to make it to do next everyone works everywhere which is one of its best features and I mean everywhere iOS Android Mac Windows the web Windows Phone even blackberry but the best thing about Evernote is when you turn it into a huge apposite ory for everything from great dreams - funny gifts to class notes and you'll know it's all there when you want to technically Evernote is free but for five dollars a month or $45 a year you get better offline access better search and more security I pay for it just to have offline notebooks on my phone but whether or not you do want to pay for it Evernote is still the best note-taking app of the market it's only real competition is OneNote Microsoft's great note-taking app it's finally come from Windows to other platforms - OneNote is structured just like a standard notebook which I like on the desktop but it can get a little bit overdone and confusing on a smaller screen still it's incredibly powerful it's free it syncs to lots of different platforms and it'll take pretty much anything you throw at if you're not in love with the way Evernote looks or can't handle its initial learning curve OneNote might be the perfect choice for the third good app on the list is simple note it's crazy fast it has really good search and it's really seamless across platforms but it only works for plain text if you're just jotting down notes to self there's nothing that's easier or faster but you might find you need more than simple note offers beyond those three there are literally hundreds of apps for iOS and Android but they're usually either less functional or less enjoyable than the best three or book on iOS you might try G notes or awesome notes or notes tab or notability but they all offer less than ever vesper is maybe the best looking notes app but without sync or support for forms it's really hard to sink your teeth into on Android the list is even longer papyrus and write and scribble and fetch notes actually fetch notes has a neat tagging system that I like but that's not nearly enough to use it Google keep in particular is a great Android app with a really useful widget but it's still a little basic and not nearly cross-platform cross-platform really is important you might not have your same phone or laptop forever but you want to keep your notes forever and having them accessible anytime from any device is huge luckily all three of the best note-taking apps work on all the most important platforms and they all work well every and of those three Evernote is simply the most powerful it's the one most able to adapt to whatever you deciding if you're going to dump your whole brain into one place and you should make it ever you
