After much searching and a little testing of online note-taking apps. We have discovered, to few peoples surprise that Evernote is actually very useful.
Discussing in the office how useful it would be to have an online app, that would sync between your phone, desktop, tablet and online account which you could use as a notebook for researching projects, keeping notes about interesting things or collaborating with colleagues or friends, I went on a hunt for the perfect app. I came across a number of different applications, but they were either premium apps that required payment or they had a very unintuitive interface which put me off straight away.
It turns out I had Evernote on my iPhone. I had used it before, but to no real extent, I didn’t find it that great to be honest, but I then decided to give the desktop version a go. I was pleasantly surprised. It works well, sync’s quickly with my iPhone, allows you to drag and drop images to your ‘notebooks’, save URL’s, write notes etc. It’s early days but I’m liking it.
On another Note(ooh pardon the pun), in this office we are big fans of Moleskine notebooks, and so I went to see if they happen to have a nice app to accompany their lovely notebooks. 
They do have an app as it turns out but would it have the same beautifully classic quality of the Moleskine notebooks themselves? The answer in short is no. It is as you may assume, nice to look at, but unfortunately there are quite a few glitches along the way. It does have very nice little icons that you can add to your notes, and you can write in many different colours, choose the style of paper you work on and more nice little features like that but it lacks the streamline flow that you would hope to see. It is only their first version however so we will wait in the hope that the next version does them justice.
