SoundNote is the best way to take notes in meetings, lectures, and interviews. It tracks what you type and draw while recording audio, so you`ll never worry about missing an important detail. During playback, just ...
I love having the ability to write notes while it records at the same time so I don t miss anything during class                     Love this app billkimmac
I m very disappointed that there is no erase function for free style writing The undo function is ok but not when you need to correct something you wrote in the middle of your notes For someone who writes and doodles as much as I do I need erasing capabilities Please refund my money Thanks     Need Refund Mfoster.ptl
I love using this app with my students but really want an update                 Needs folders and an erase feature VoixDeMichele
Love the concept One of the best options out there for learners who need additional repetition and visual queuing This app has tremendous potential but hasn t been updated since 2014 May I make a few suggestions An eraser option rather than a delete button Option to place files lectures into folders Cursor should move respond to audio playback Option to send files with audio from iPad to iPad not including family sharing Keyboard has a tendency to freeze when adding or editing text             Please update SchoolTeacher501
I ve used SoundNote from the very beginning and love it Every once in a while I check to see if someone else has created something as good Thus far I have not found anything Other apps add features that I don t need and they unnecessarily complicate things I especially like the fact that one can email files text only OR text with audio OR send the file to Dropbox It s a great way to backup files if one is not able to sync with one s computer for a while I say it s 5                     The best I ve found UUAchurch
best I can tell it is devoid of user manual or other instructions I thought I was buying a productivity app not a figure it out game         It may be wonderful but depscribe
I ve used this app in small meetings of just two and as large as 50 people It worked great in both Audio replay was audible in both cases and the notes and audio sync is excellent                     Super app for meetings David Hawke
I have been using this app for about three years The ability to decipher my notes has saved me many times A strong recommendation                     Best meeting note taking app DonnaLit
I ve used this app since it was new great easy app                     Great app trialnterror
I also use Evernote Premium If I could have the cloud functionality I would probably forget about Evernote Then again adding pictures scan so I could draw and annotate on top of it             If it could be cloud based VO'F
I ve used this app all throughout my undergrad and it has worked wonderfully Two things I would change though 1 The forward backward 30 sec button in audio when replaying as stated by other reviewers 2 The ability to organize your soundnote files into folders on the left sidebar instead of just a chronological arrangement The left bar looks cluttered to me I wish I could lump them into folders by class and then subfolders by unit Otherwise the app is great                 Great app could use slight tweaks Jarod Richards
I found this on a chance but it is the best thing I think for anybody who is in business or ministry or attends tons of meetings I used this record whole meetings take notes and my notes match the speaking I then can download and edit my notes and audio for later Not joking and no I have nothing to do w this company but I m shocked this isn t one the best selling apps It s a five star no doubt Keep up the great work                     The best app I ve used for what I do twotypes
I just came back from an AMAZING SEMINAR recorded 50 HOURS of AUDIO with notes Next day I go to my IPAD and I see the HELLO screen totally formatted IPAD ALL DATA LOST THIS APP is very unstable Furthermore the SOUNDNOTE READER APP for the MAC CRASHES too TOO BAD it doesn t work very DISAPPOINTED     CRASHED MY IPAD RockOnDance
This app offers no categorization or sorting of you our notes whatsoever except by date Further if you are going to use this app for note taking by hand you better not write fast as it does not seem to pick up everything         No file management and handwriting unreliable VVlad
I use this app for depositions and it is great Emailing it and attaching it to files after the deposition is icing on the cake I highly recommend it for anyone you has to multitask while taking notes I lecture on technology for lawyers and will be adding this to the list of must haves                     Great App for attorneys Mjmlaw
I truly believe this app has helped me achieve a 4 0 GPA in college but it would be great if it had a button to go back 15 seconds and 30 seconds Every once in awhile when listening to a 1 hour lecture I ll notice I was daydreaming and then I have to slide the bar to rewind It s cumbersome Other than that I have no complaints Please put in a go forward 15 seconds button and a go back 15 seconds button I have 9 hours of lecture notes to go through for a test and it would be helpful to skip over parts I don t need to hear quickly                 Very helpful app but needs a new feature Jneumann1982
I ve been using this for two years now and as a sales executive it s invaluable I m able to record customer meetings and take brief notes Tap on the note later and hear the conversation I never miss anything and am able to focus more on the customer instead of looking busy writing notes I highly recommend and haven t ever had any technical issues with this app                     Can t live without it Ms.Sasser
besides not being ipad compatible this app simply does not work the microphone will not enable after the first use and the comments are false from the other reviews keep away from this vendor     not ipad compatible Len95762
I have been using this app for 2 years and use it often when in meetings I can take the meeting notes and draw any concept diagrams needed and then send the whole document to everyone in the meeting via email I often connect the iPad to a vga cable so as the meeting progresses we all the see the document being written and can see the content in case any changes need made When connected to a vga cable and shared via flat panel tv or projector the app can be utilized like a scrolling whiteboard to hash out ideas or collaborate on a problem This is one of my GoTo apps                     Great App Btrhoads2
I absolutely love this app I have been using it consistently for over three years I have used it to take notes and record all of my undergraduate and graduate classes and lectures I have lectures recorded dating back to 2010 Every student should give this app a shot it has been a life saver for me                     My favorite app Cvan7
I m a grad student and have learning disabilities I use every trick app available to maximize my time and learning SoundNote enables me to pay attention to my professors while I take notes rather than frantically typing everything Then when I review my notes I can touch the pertinent section of my notes and listen to all the details It s a reliable app even though as mentioned in another review it isn t as feature rich as Notability or GoodNotes neither of which synch audio recordings                     The missing link Jwajwaj
This has to be honestly my favorite app It s perfect for lectures and with a bluetooth keyboard it s amazingly easy to use I gave it a 4 though because it s missing four things I m dying for all in the writing mode 1 Highlighter would be great for studying with it 2 Eraser yes I know you can tap stuff and delete it but sometimes that s just too slow It would be so simple to just be able too erase a bunch of stuff all at once 3 Different colors to write with Sometimes like in math classes it s easier to read your notes back if you can pick pen colors 4 Arrows and underlines I find it somewhat hard to draw arrows or straight lines in the writing mode I like to underline major topics so it would be nice for those to be in a little drop down menu and put it in there                 Great for college students Brittanyroselove
This most recent update 2 2 was supposed to fix bugs Instead it created a huge one Before the most recent update I was able to copy and paste between documents in SoundNote now it is not allowing it Also if I cut something to paste somewhere else in a different document within SoundNote I end up losing everything as well because nothing is cut to the clipboard Copy Cut Paste also does not work when attempting to paste to another app I m not sure where the bug or the issue is but this needs to be fixed ASAP or I ll have to switch to a different app I may have to give Notability a try At least they also allow formatting of the text within the document something that is greatly lacking in this app as well Get it together SoundNote             No Copy Cut Paste Christopher Sotillo
Went to but SoundNote because it said it was updated to the latest version of dropbox but after downloading it i was not able to open my notes from my teacher off dropbox onto SoundNote like i could before on a different app and i also wanted it because i did not think the other app recorded more than 10 mins and this one did fix this please i don t really like wasting money     Not happy with my purchase cmd777
Please add a highlighter option to SoundNote                 Make it Better DMH025
I love this app it is amazing for school and review for tests I do however wish that there was a way to organize the audio and text documents into specific files Then the app would be PERFECT                 Great App School notes
This app is worth every penny and then more No need to carry around a smart pen or buy special paper I can can record a meeting or conference while handwriting my notes or typing them in When finished I just touch a section of my notes that I want to review and the audio automatically goes to that point of reference Fantastic work has been put into this app and is now in my top five apps ever Great for individuals with learning disabilities Thanks for an excellent app Keep up the great work I m a fan                     Excellent Alternative to Smartpen MojoWom@n
great for writing notes in class very easy to maneuver through the app and different documents love that it records sound and if you tap on a word it takes you to the point in the recording when that word was typed so you can listen to the lecture from that point                     Great for class MikeAdams11
Just installed the latest update and now I cannot open Soundnote at all Any ideas                     Wavewireless
I tested this at a meeting this morning The good is that it actually records sound from various meeting attendees in a 17x 14 room very clearly The bad is that while it does jump from recorded part to recorded part when you tap on your notes the note taking is not as good as other apps For instance assume you write your notes by hand either by stylus or by finger you can t easily add dots to the I s or cross the T s when you try to dot the I s you get a delete option instead What s more you need to change to typing mode to move down to the next screen None of this is documented as far as I can see BTW Again it s a very good program concept it just needs some fairly major fine tuning If you don t have time to learn the peculiarities don t buy it If you do it s worth investing in with it s warts and flaws             Great start Pathfinder73
I absolutely love this app I ve been thinking about getting a Smartpen for some time now I learned about this app while looking over a woman s shoulder at a tech conference I downloaded it right away and I m SO glad I did it s worth every penny I love that I can attend a training seminar take notes and not stress about remembering every detail I reviewed my notes in the evening and loved that I could click on a certain point in my notes and automatically be taken to the audio portion of the seminar I m only giving it 4 stars because I would love to be able to email the notes and audio to people and so far the files are too big to share                 I Love This App Nbean73
I have been using this app for a while and with the recent upgrade this app stops recording for no apparent reason There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to this either This upgrade is NOT worth it I wish I could revert to the old version Do NOT upgrade Do NOT count on this to work     Stops Recording Randomly satorix2
if there was an option to click on drawing elements and jump to that part of the audio then it could be 5 stars folders would help as would sync options this could be so good         could be goid but DrDaGo
Used to really love this app but the update makes it really hard to move audio forward or rewind Very Very frustrating                 It s good BUT Kimm3rs
Update Once again another update with nothing really new added This app has not really changed in over a year I do not understand why so many people buy it Seriously get another note taking app that records audio linked to text     This app has not been updated ever Brainstein!!!
This is a really good app It s clean uncluttered and straightforward I m a tech coordinator at a private school in San Diego I highly recommend it It s ideal for lecture based classes and is especially useful in language and history classes It s awesome for visual learners too They can sketch doodle concepts and then click on the image to hear what that image related back to If you re a slow writer it is extremely useful too You don t have to write down every piece of information rather you can jot down the big picture topics and then listen to it when you need to It also allows students to then go back and quickly make real well written hard copy notes based off of these notes if they learn best that way It really is an excellent tool If you are a student get this app If you are a parent get this app for your son or daughter It s brain dead to use and can make an immediate impact Some say it lags and other say they want formatting It s for quick note taking not formal polished documents Recording an hour of audio takes up space If you run low on memory things lag I wouldn t suggest keeping all your formal notes in this tool It s for capturing a lecture or meeting so that you can then go do something like create more formal notes when you have the time Once you ve done that or studied for the quiz test delete the note When I was in college I had a paper notebook I used for quickly scribbling down lectures I then copied them into another notebook that had excellent handwriting references sketches etc This app would replace my first notebook                     Must have student app mr.sinnott
This is easily the best app I ve ever used as a print and web journalist To be able to record and type and then swipe my finger over a word and go to the EXACT place in the recording to verify a quote has made my job so much easier I m pretty new to using it but I can imagine the time savings using this is profound Highly recommended to anyone in my field who wants help with 100 percent accurate quoting                     Every journalist needs this WordChew
I love this app for the small audio file size that somehow remains a high enough quality recording to hear the playback clearly If I had one wish it woud be to clip the audio file I have a few recordings where i forgot to turn the recording off and by the time i remembered an extra hour or two of wasted recording is there bloating the file SoundNote is an impressive application and I can easily picture this application becoming a daily use app but it needs some key items to really become that perfect app for my needs fancy drawing functions aren t required but what would be very helpful in the drawing mode are multiple undo redo zoom pan better drawing element selection currently all drawing elements that are touched by the drawing element you select are selected as a group are needed One luxury item would be to have at least two or three more colors I don t need a full palette when taking notes but the addition of a basic red blue and green would give some more flexibility to quick note drawings Besides that airprint compatibility and full dropbox integration are almost mandatory to make things soundnote the ultimate goto app for all my notetaking needs Incidentally one thing I particularly like about SoundNote is the ability to keep typing and have the page go on as long as necessary That s much better than Notes Plus which doesn t stream typing to the next page when over extending In a perfect world notetaking should be one endlessly long page with dotted lines to show page breaks and the ability to move things to make sure paragraphs and drawings don t get cut off between two pages SoundNote is good about letting you type continuously but I don t know yet whether the drawings get cutoff or not when Airprint becomes integrated I ll look forward to that feature                 Needs undo zoom pan better draw element selection dropbox and airprint Tekkster
This app has been a lifesaver for me in class as I have a professor who moves very quickly and changes topics frequently making it difficult to write hand notes It would help if there was an option to highlight important information Or to write in a different color or font It would also be great if I could add notes while listening to recording without skipping around All and all best app I have found for class that I can also share through email                 Great but could be better Rockyanddexter
For two semesters this was the only audio annotation note taker worth a dang out there But now there are better options notability etc Essentially this app never has changed There is no filing system no color and it still has a terrible lag         Doesn t really update MirianEve
I really love this app I am a recording secretary for a national organization and take notes for our board meetings once a month Using a key board with the ipad this app has made the note taking much easier I love the ability to double click on the note on the screen and go directly to the voice recording I recently had to write up our notes for a half day meeting It made my life MUCH easier While I m looking forward to the end of the year when I hand over the secretary position I m glad to have found the app                     Great for note taking daoplo
I used to love this app and promoted it often But no longer It has remained stagnant while others have progressed For example AudioNote which I evaluated alongside SoundNote before choosing SoundNote as my go to app for important note taking sessions has developed Mac and iPhone versions with syncing between the versions While not necessarily a critical requirement it could come in handy enough that it makes AudioNote the superior app And for sensitive information Audiotorium has password protection It s literally a case of David Estes what have you done for me lately The answer can t be nothing when others are doing something That s a recipe for watching your business dry up             Stagnant John Frum
Please add FONTS BULLET POINTS AND FOLDERS After buying 50 dollars of notebooks notes app etc I found myself using the sound notes app instead of the others Although sound note doesn t have all the goodies its the only app that helps me record take notes listen to the recoding again update my notes with the information I missed the first time and forward the information             Need Updates ASAP Ninarice7
I really like using SoundNote It is great for taking notes There are a couple of things which would make it better I often use it with a paired Bluetooth keyboard and it does not support many of the standard controls for moving the insertion point and making and extending selections using the command option and control keys paired with arrows Apple s apps like Notes and Mail do this well It would also be helpful if it could do tab based indenting with a tab key on the keyboard assuming you could add a key to the keyboard I like to indent in my note taking like in an Outliner but without all the other outlining stuff Tab in and you get an indented paragraph where all the lines in the paragraph are indented to the same level When you start a new paragraph by typing Return it starts the new paragraph at the same level of indent as the previous one Tab again and it goes indented one more level deeper To back it out do shift tab The key affects the entire paragraph no matter where the insertion point is when the tab key is typed Perhaps it shouldn t be a tab key but a dedicated Indent and Outdent button group as Omni Outliner does it These are minor quibbles it is a very useful app especially because of the ability to IDE the notes as an index into the recording                     Very useful app Rouxfus
Get Audio Notes instead this stinks I wish I could get my 5 back That s a starbucks this is not even that good     No No No HHASKELL
This is a very cool app I just used it yesterday to record the lecture in my communication class I can see where I will use this app a lot                     Very Cool Love It Lisa Rae 03
I am a fan of this app as it addresses my primary need for taking notes while sitting in customer meetings I do not need colors or any fancy editing capabilities However one important feature I would like to request is the ability to create folders so that I can keep manage the large number of notes I have created This way I would be able to create a folder for a customer or project I was working on And when new notes were created pertaining to that project it could be grouped together for easy reference                 Good basic note taking app poconnor
I have used this app for over 6 months and it worked great at first It began having problems saving files to Drop Box and also had problems sending notes to my e mail address I sent an e mail to tech support 2 months ago and have NOT received a reply When I did a software update on my iPad all my file notes were lost I sent an e mail to the support site of Soundnotes and have still NOT received a reply     Serious problems Chuck B Jr
I m a Professional Speaker and Trainer I often have conversations a year in advance of my booking Now I will be able to remember exactly what I said I would do I just LOVE this Thank you for creating this It s PERFECT for my meetings I just set up my iPad and start taking notes while the recorder goes I can send the audio note file to my client using DropBox and I m set We both know what we talked about there s no mystery and if either of us got our notes wrong we can go back and have another conversation I ve even put my phone on speaker so I can capture telephone conversations This is pure genius                     Love Love Love this App BethTerry

Love the concept One of the best options out there for learners who need additional repetition and visual queuing This app has tremendous potential but hasnt been updated since 2014 May I make a few suggestions An eraser option rather than a delete button Option to place fileslectures into folders Cursor should moverespond to audio playback Option to send files with audio from iPad to iPad not including family sharing Keyboard has a tendency to freeze when adding or editing text           Please update

This is a great app when you need notes but dont want to keep interrupting the speakers by asking them to slow down and kill the presentation or meeting flow Going back to listen to the audio and verify what was typed is a great idea Love the web server downloadexport feature That rocks and saves so much time The Dropbox integration is handy too Would like it if the note name and date was included in the exported textpdf file so it was easier to know which note was which Even something a simple as putting the date in the filename would help Also blank notes dont appear to export in web server but just display a blank page in the browser Very confusing Can you save a file with No text in it so the user knows there wasnt any text entered please Thanks for a great product and keep up the good work              Pretty good for note taking
Great sound and note collaboration                 Awesome

Ive used this app in small meetings of just two and as large as 50 people It worked great in both Audio replay was audible in both cases and the notes and audio sync is excellent                 Super app for meetings

I used to love this app and promoted it often But no longer It has remained stagnant while others have progressed For example AudioNotewhich I evaluated alongside SoundNote before choosing SoundNote as my goto app for important notetaking sessionshas developed Mac and iPhone versions with syncing between the versions While not necessarily a critical requirement it could come in handy enough that it makes AudioNote the superior app And for sensitive information Audiotorium has password protection Its literally a case of David Estes what have you done for me lately The answer cant be nothing when others are doing something Thats a recipe for watching your business dry up           Stagnant
Im a grad student and have learning disabilities I use every trick app available to maximize my time and learning SoundNote enables me to pay attention to my professors while I take notes rather than frantically typing everything Then when I review my notes I can touch the pertinent section of my notes and listen to all the details Its a reliable app even though as mentioned in another review it isnt as feature rich as Notability or GoodNotes neither of which synch audio recordings                 The missing link
My colleague has made some notes and sound recordings on her iPad 1 and I need access to these notes I bought SoundNote for my iPad 2 thinking Id be able to get her files onto my iPad instead of borrowing her iPad to get the notes and audio linked Now I find there is no way to export or share the SoundNote from one iPad to another in the original format Exports are only available in PDF and mp4 format unlinked Not as good as my LiveScribe pen which allows for easy export and sharing I hope the developer can add this basic functionality somehow              Does what I need want better sharing
I love this app for the small audio file size that somehow remains a high enough quality recording to hear the playback clearly If I had one wish it woud be to clip the audio file I have a few recordings where i forgot to turn the recording off and by the time i remembered an extra hour or two of wasted recording is there bloating the file SoundNote is an impressive application and I can easily picture this application becoming a daily use app but it needs some key items to really become that perfect app for my needs fancy drawing functions arent required but what would be very helpful in the drawing mode are multiple undoredo zoompan better drawing element selection currently all drawing elements that are touched by the drawing element you select are selected as a group are needed One luxury item would be to have at least two or three more colors I dont need a full palette when taking notes but the addition of a basic red blue and green would give some more flexibility to quick note drawings Besides that airprint compatibility and full dropbox integration are almost mandatory to make things soundnote the ultimate goto app for all my notetaking needs Incidentally one thing I particularly like about SoundNote is the ability to keep typing and have the page go on as long as necessary Thats much better than Notes Plus which doesnt stream typing to the next page when overextending In a perfect world notetaking should be one endlessly long page with dotted lines to show page breaks and the ability to move things to make sure paragraphs and drawings dont get cut off between two pages SoundNote is good about letting you type continuously but I dont know yet whether the drawings get cutoff or notwhen Airprint becomes integrated Ill look forward to that feature              Needs undo zoompan better draw element selection dropbox and airprint
Ive used this app all throughout my undergrad and it has worked wonderfully Two things I would change though 1 The forward backward 30 sec button in audio when replaying as stated by other reviewers 2 The ability to organize your soundnote files into folders on the left sidebar instead of just a chronological arrangement The left bar looks cluttered to me I wish I could lump them into folders by class and then subfolders by unit Otherwise the app is great              Great app could use slight tweaks
I really like using SoundNote It is great for taking notes There are a couple of things which would make it better I often use it with a paired Bluetooth keyboard and it does not support many of the standard controls for moving the insertion point and making and extending selections using the command option and control keys paired with arrows Apples apps like Notes and Mail do this well It would also be helpful if it could do tab based indenting with a tab key on the keyboard assuming you could add a key to the keyboard I like to indent in my note taking like in an Outliner but without all the other outlining stuff Tab in and you get an indented paragraph where all the lines in the paragraph are indented to the same level When you start a new paragraph by typing Return it starts the new paragraph at the same level of indent as the previous one Tab again and it goes indented one more level deeper To back it out do shift tab The key affects the entire paragraph no matter where the insertion point is when the tab key is typed Perhaps it shouldnt be a tab key but a dedicated Indent and Outdent button group as Omni Outliner does it These are minor quibbles it is a very useful app especially because of the ability to IDE the notes as an index into the recording              Very useful app
I also use Evernote Premium If I could have the cloud functionality I would probably forget about Evernote Then again adding pictures scan so I could draw and annotate on top of it           If it could be cloud based
best I can tell it is devoid of user manual or other instructions I thought I was buying a productivity app not a figureitout game        It may be wonderful but
Please add FONTS BULLET POINTS AND FOLDERS After buying 50 dollars of notebooks notes app etc I found myself using the sound notes app instead of the others Although sound note doesnt have all the goodies its the only app that helps me record take notes listen to the recoding again update my notes with the information I missed the first time and forward the information           Need Updates ASAP
I just came back from an AMAZING SEMINAR recorded 50 HOURS of AUDIO with notes Next day I go to my IPAD and I see the HELLO screen totally formatted IPAD ALL DATA LOST THIS APP is very unstable Furthermore the SOUNDNOTE READER APP for the MAC CRASHES too TOO BAD it doesnt work very DISAPPOINTED     CRASHED MY IPAD
For two semesters this was the only audio annotation note taker worth a dang out there But now there are better options notability etc Essentially this app never has changed There is no filing system no color and it still has a terrible lag        Doesnt really update
I have been using this app for about three years The ability to decipher my notes has saved me many times A strong recommendation                 Best meeting note taking app
This app is good at what it originally was posted at over one year ago taking note and syncing with audio The problem is that the use of the iPad has evolved for many people including myself The iPad is now being used as a digital notebook As such people have been taking notes on it from day one Unfortunately a year and a half of notes becomes quite unmanageable without a way to organize them And this app has no way to do that Yes it has a search function but if you have several lectures meetings or trainings that are on the same topic over a period of 18 months this feature is useless There needs to be folders keywords tags or preferably a combination of the three Without such this app will be erased off of my iPad        Lacks Functionality
I tested this at a meeting this morning The good is that it actually records sound from various meeting attendees in a 17x 14 room very clearly The bad is that while it does jump from recorded part to recorded part when you tap on your notes the note taking is not as good as other apps For instance assume you write your notes by hand either by stylus or by finger you cant easily add dots to the Is or cross the Ts when you try to dot the Is you get a delete option instead Whats more you need to change to typing mode to move down to the next screen None of this is documented as far as I can see BTW Again its a very good program concept it just needs some fairly major fine tuning If you dont have time to learn the peculiarities dont buy it If you do its worth investing in with its warts and flaws           Great start
Ive been using this for two years now and as a sales executive its invaluable Im able to record customer meetings and take brief notes Tap on the note later and hear the conversation I never miss anything and am able to focus more on the customer instead of looking busy writing notes I highly recommend and havent ever had any technical issues with this app                 Cant live without it
I have used this app for over 6 months and it worked great at first It began having problems saving files to Drop Box and also had problems sending notes to my email address I sent an email to tech support 2 months ago and have NOT received a reply When I did a software update on my iPad all my file notes were lost I sent an email to the support site of Soundnotes and have still NOT received a reply     Serious problems
great for writing notes in class very easy to maneuver through the app and different documents love that it records sound and if you tap on a word it takes you to the point in the recording when that word was typed so you can listen to the lecture from that point                 Great for class
Please add a highlighter option to SoundNote              Make it Better
I have been using this app for 2 years and use it often when in meetings I can take the meeting notes and draw any concept diagrams needed and then send the whole document to everyone in the meeting via email I often connect the iPad to a vga cable so as the meeting progresses we all the see the document being written and can see the content in case any changes need made When connected to a vga cable and shared via flat panel tv or projector the app can be utilized like a scrolling whiteboard to hash out ideas or collaborate on a problem This is one of my GoTo apps                 Great App
I am a fan of this app as it addresses my primary need for taking notes while sitting in customer meetings I do not need colors or any fancy editing capabilities However one important feature I would like to request is the ability to create folders so that I can keep manage the large number of notes I have created This way I would be able to create a folder for a customer or project I was working on And when new notes were created pertaining to that project it could be grouped together for easy reference              Good basic note taking app
This app has been a lifesaver for me in class as I have a professor who moves very quickly and changes topics frequently making it difficult to write hand notes It would help if there was an option to highlight important information Or to write in a different color or font It would also be great if I could add notes while listening to recording without skipping around All and all best app I have found for class that I can also share through email              Great but could be better
