Quick Review: Evernote
28 Jul
First off, you should know that Evernote is not only for iPhone. It also offers a web-based service, and a desktop application for Mac and PC.
Evernote on iPhone allows you to take notes in four four forms: Text Note, Snapshot Note, Saved Photo Note, and Audio Note. Once you have composed a note, it is synced with your Evernote account, and the note will immediately appear in your online account and on your Mac or PC. You can also use a very nice feature to search for text not only in your Text Notes, but in your Photo Notes as well. Once a photo has been synced with Evernote’s servers, text inside photos can be recognized.
The app is very simple and straightforward. Once you have logged in, you see four tabs at the bottom of the screen; New Note, Notes, Pending, and Account. Using only these four tabs, you can organized, and easily.
There are, as always, a few downsides. First, the text recognition feature doesn’t always work. For instance, when I took a picture of the word “iPhone” on my iPhone, the text was not recognized when I typed “iPhone,” but it was when I searched for “ob.” Also, if you make a note with a photo that was taken in landscape mode on the iPhone, that photo will then appear upside down everywhere.
Despite the above mentioned problems - which can easily be fixed via updates - Evernote is a great and productive application. In fact, it has replaced the stock Notes app on my iPhone.
