Productivity apps - Evernote

Anonymous — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 12:47:30 GMT

Hello Everyone,

We all love our apps on mobile and tablets these days, they seem to have become a part of our daily lives, haven’t they?!

Some we use for fun and some for work, it appears that we have an app for everything nowadays. We’re intrigued about productivity apps in particular and would like to get your thoughts around this topic.

Hands up if you know about Evernote how many of you have used it?

How useful do you or would you find it in your day to day life or work?

If you haven’t heard about it yet, here’re some of the features it includes:

-Save, sync and share files

-Search for text inside images

-Organize notes by notebooks and tags

-Email notes and save tweets to your Evernote account

-Connect Evernote to other apps and products you use

-Share notes with friends and colleagues via Facebook and Twitter

Would love to get your thoughts around this app? We want to know how often you’d use this in your day to day life and which particular feature you love the most about it?

Brad

Hi Brad.

I've seen this in Apples App Store but am somewhat put off by the very high level of negative comments.

Are you using this app yourself.

I'm just wondering why it's being promoted on the O2 Community Forum.

It looks to be a very useful app, although they did suffer a security leak earlier this year I believe.

As a side note, I use is occasionaly, but I prefer Google Keep for its simplicity of use.

Plus being the forum owners I guess they can post whatever they choose!

Count me in if there's a 12 month free subscription.

Hey bandofbrothers,

I am in fact using the app myself! It is quite handy at tracking all my meeting notes and helping me organise my life!

It's all good Really glad you joined the discussion. What are your thoughts on Evernote or are you super organised already without the use of apps?

I heavily depend on my calendar, reminder and notes App's on my iPhone.

I'm up to try almost anything and have already downloaded the app on my iPhone although I've not used it yet.

Big fan of it and best used with the web clipper for your browser. The Skitch add is pretty good but sadly the last few updates has made it worse.

One thing I found most disconcerting is the fact that the ability to retain a local copy (i.e. stored on my own iPhone) is one of the premium (paid) features which is absolutely ridiculous. I can understand paying for more storage but to charge to use my own phone's storage is crazy.

Edit: At least, it was the last time I looked, I haven't looked over the new versions for iOS 7 etc.

I've been using it for a few years now between desktop and mobiles (various platforms) and of course Blackberry has integrated access into their 'Remember' app on Blackberry 10.

I use it mainly for webclippings and for synchronised notes.

Not use Skitch though having a Note 2 I probably should.
