10 Jun Note Taking Made Easy With Evernote
Do you ever find yourself needing to keep notes?
Or perhaps you have been researching online and you’d like to take clippings from a website.
One of the best note-taking apps is Evernote which is packed full of features. The free subscription includes syncing across multiple devices, sharing and taking clippings online.
A paid subscription will give extra features such as offline access, added security and scanning of documents such as business cards.
Why Use a Note-taking App?
The main advantage of using a note-taking app is the storing of data with access made available across multiple devices. The data could include bookmarks, web clippings, recipes, reviews, receipts, serial numbers, whiteboard notes, reference material and of course written notes.
These can then be synced across multiple devices and stored in the cloud where they can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection.
The information can be tagged with keywords which then make searching more effective.
