Top 3 Apps For Note-Taking

Since I was looking for an app for note taking at school, I figured I would start the blog off with the top three apps for taking notes.  All of the apps I will be talking about can be found on the Google Play Store since I am an Android phone user.  Some can also be found on other operating system’s app stores but results may vary depending on the phone used.

Evernote 

Evernote is the most popular note-taking app and for good reason.  It feels the most complete by having the most features in an easy to use layout.  The app may feel overwhelming at first with all of its features, but that shouldn't stop you from using it.  Whether you want to write, type, record, or even take a picture of notes; it’s got everything you can ask for.  What also makes this app the best is its compatibility and syncing abilities.   You can take notes anywhere without having to worry about losing them.  Evernote is compatible with iOS, Android, and Windows phones.  It also works with a Mac or Pc with its desktop application.

Google Keep 

For everyone looking for a basic note-taking app, this is the one.  This is one of the simpler apps that gets the job done without any learning curve to it.  There are not many options, which makes the layout minimal and easy to read.  Google Keep has notes, reminders, voice memos, and photos available with the ability to color code each note card.  The outcome is quite colorful and pleasing to look at when full of notes.

OneNote 

Honestly, I find the app a little disappointing compared to the desktop application however that does not make this a bad app.  In comparison to Evernote, this almost has the same amount of features, but the apps interface feels a little clunky to make use of everything.  OneNote is not nearly as user-friendly as the first two apps mentioned.  It is probably best used in companion with the desktop app.  If this were only option there was, it would still get the job done.

All three of the apps mentions are all great in my opinion.  In the end, I got stuck with using Google Keep since it is the easiest one the use.  It is also looks great with the minimalist look Google was going for.
