I’m one of those people, I walk around in my daily life and I see, hear or say something for one reason or another I need to remember. I had this bad habit though of not making or keeping notes, while a few of my friends had the habit of making a note about everything only to lose it because there were just to many. Then I discovered that Evernote had created an app for Android and I’ve heard good things so I gave it a shot.

Evernote is a great app you run on your iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry, or Android powered phone. While you’re out and about you can use the app to record a note in text, photo or even voice. Evernote then uses your wireless carriers data connection to upload the note to Evernotes secure website for you to access, read, and edit later. You can organize your notes into categories, use tags (much like you do with meta data) and search your notes. Even better is if you don’t organize it, Evernote will automatically!

Now you might be thinking that because it’s an app on a cellphone it can’t be as feature rich as it’s computer companion but the crazy thing is, that the app has all the abilities the computer does. Now it’s not a scaled back version but one thing the app does lack is the ability to screenshot your phone, a feature which some Smartphone Operating Systems haven’added this ability yet is probably part of the reason (Google, Android… we’re looking at you).

I have to say that after using it for a while now and I’m loving it. I can be out and about and if I run across something I really need to remember I can. One thing that I love is the cost, does free sound good? Evernote is completely free though you are limited to uploading 40MB of data per month, you also can only upload images, audio, text and PDF files. If you find it useful and want to add more features, space and have more of your files tracked by Evernote you can upgrade to a subscription for $45 a year. Included with your subscription is the ablility to upload 500Mb’s per month the ability to upload ANY file including Microsoft Office files as well as better tracking on your PDF files.

For me, I’m happy with the free account and I’ve been keeping more notes than ever. I can be in class and snap a shot of the board to remember homework as well as capture or record anything that inspires me while I’m going through my day. Friends I’ve recommended the app to have completely ditched notes on little scraps of paper and we’ve all kept more of our good idea’s we’ve had throughout the day.

To me this is just a perfect way to create and keep notes (especially as a computer geek) and while this app probably won’t make you a genius at organizing and your office will probably still have stacks of papers that only you know what’s in them, Evernote is an awesome tool that everyone can use.
