Evernote 4.5.3.6131

Evernote Editor's Review

Keep track of EVERYTHING with this must have, multi-platform tool.

One of the most important things that you can do with your mobile device, your computer or laptop is take notes. If you're a student, educator, or business professional, then you know what I'm talking about. Keeping track of action items, assignments, lesson plans, etc., is something that everyone has an interest in. That's one of the reasons why I like Evernote. This multifunction tool has specialized functionality in order to keep you organized. 

Evernote makes it easy to remember big and small things from your everyday life, using your computer, phone, tablet and the web. With Evernote, all of your notes, web clips, files and images are made available on every device and computer you use, anytime, anywhere. All you need is a connected device and available bandwidth. Evernote does the rest.

With Evernote, you can remember the things that YOU like. You can instantly save everything cool and exciting you see online. You can snap a photo, record some audio and save it to a note and have that note, with that cool content sync to every one of your connected endpoints. As such, you can take notes anywhere. If you're always on the move, your notes and important information should be too. With Evernote, those important items are on every computer, phone and device you use.

Since notebooks sync instantly, Evernote makes it easy to work with remote friends and colleagues. You can share your notes and collaborate on projects with friends, colleagues and classmates regardless of their location, time zone, etc.  Evernote can be used to bring project information and teams together regardless of who is working on which parts, and can centralize all your information

Pros: Connected sync, works on nearly every mobile and desktop platform available.

Cons: OCR of handwriting on Macs and Android devices requires an additional component.

Conclusion: Evernote wants to be nearly most everything to everyone. It stores almost any and every kind of information you can get from on in your computer.  Its synchronization engine helps keep all of your notes, clips, and important information at your fingertips, and where you need it most.

While it may work best on tablets or on devices with a touch screen, if you're on a Mac or an Android device and you want to take those handwritten notes and turn them into text, you'll need Skitch, a OCR package that snaps into Evernote for OS X and Android.
