As a writer, I need to be taking notes on a 24/7 basis.
Notes just make it so easy to track my errands, duties, and obligations.
How many thoughts have you lost because you couldnt jot them down?
Note-taking apps on mobile devices are extremely helpful, especially in our age of fast information flow.
Students can take notes from class and record their homework assignments.
Employees can keep track of their tasks for the day.
Designers can compile all of their design ideas.
Ever since I started using Android, Catch Notes has been my go-to app for taking notes.
It has all the features that I need and a clean interface.
But recently I stumbled upon Flick Note, a notes app from Teragadgets.
The interface for Flick Note is about what youd expect from a notes app.
When you kick off the program, youre faced with a list of all the notes you have.
Thankfully, its more helpful than most README files Ive read.
Its a simple display choice, but I love it.
The little details are what makes an app shine.
Not exactly the most intuitive way to navigate, but its super quick once you learn it.
For a writer, this would come in handy.
Flick Note has a lot of tablet features that I cant enjoy because Im running it on a smartphone.
On a tablet, you could open multiple notes using a split-pane view thats easily navigated using swiping gestures.
With MultiMarkdown, you could instantly convert a note into HTML as you pop in.
For most, this issue is as easily solved as sorting.
Flick Note doesnt offer much in that area.
However, you could search through your notes database in two other ways: by tag and by word.
Each note can be tagged with one or multiple tags, which can then be used as an organizer.
SimpleNote was the primary notes web app that I used before I found Catch Notes.
If Id known about Flick Note back then, I may not have switched.
And lastly, Flick Note provides a lot of room for customization and change.
How often do you want to keep your notes synced with your online account?
Do you like adjusting fonts/colors/sizes to fit your personal preference?
How about disabling/enabling certain aspects of the app that you just dont ever use?
you might do it all here.
Flick Note comes in two varieties: Free and Pro.
In the end, Flick Note is a lighter and more streamlined version of Catch Notes.
It feels smoother in certain areas but at the cost of having a smaller set of features.
If you dont use SimpleNote, Flick Note is still worth a try.
