wondering if there's any note taking app on android like the awesome note on
iphone
any suggestion ? thx
Evernote is pretty good. Syncs to the web.
Ya i agree evernote is great!
thx
gonna try it now
Note Everything has been my pick for the last year.
Im using AK Notepad from my magic to my nexus
aknotepad is good
I personally like note me. You can color coordinate tags for school, finance, personal etc, and you can also stick it on your home screen.
i also use aknotepad very simple
I am using 3banana, synchs to the web with your google login, and you see notes offline too. I will be using this until evernote makes notes available offline too. Then i will switch.

I second that...
So I was thinking of buying this capacitive stylus: http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Capacit...aybook/dp/B003ULE6GU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
But I was wondering if there are any decent note taking apps designed for use with a pen. Because if there aren't, it's kind of pointless, I don't think there's really anything else I would use the stylus for, except maybe drawing.
Thanks!
I'm not sure of a good app, but I do own this stylus. Once I get my Transformer tomorrow, I will let you know how well it works.
Not sure to what extent you plan to use notes, but I use "Note Everything Pro" and absolutely love it!

Handwritten notes
If you're talking about handwritten notes, some people from the xoom forum suggested handrite, check it out and tell me if it works with the transformer. There is a free version with ads. Also many users suggest get rid of the auto insert feature through the settings for the app and it becomes much more usable.
Amazon 1-click Order is dangerously easy. Just ordered it. I'll play around with the note taking apps and let you know what I find. Tablet's coming tomorrow, stylus should arrive on Tuesday.
I'm using flext9 it can be used as swipe which works faster than the one installed on the transformer and it also has a writing to text feature that's pretty cool.I take my notes on evernote which also has a share button to email/ share it to a computer. You can also create an account and sync your documents up to access anywhere.
I can't believe this, from the time since the beginning of Android to now, NO ONE has created a combinable Text & Handwriting note program.
Where is the app that lets you draw and type within the same note? This was possible in Windows Mobile, 10 years ago!!!
All the programs available seem to at best be able create drawing notes separately from typing note, WTF?

Hey dummy, read the post above yours.
I can confirm this. FlexT9 works great on the Transformer. It does an AWESOME-fast Swype style. Then it also has a handwriting-recognition mode that allows you to write within any app.
Screw note-taking apps, when you have a keyboard like this you don't need them.
The post above mine previous (#6) mentions two things:
FlexT9: an input method, not a program that supports scribble drawing & text notes
EverNote: an notes program, without any scribble drawing support
Care to enlighten me with your wisdom again?
+1 for flexT9, it is now my keyboard of choice too, much quicker than handwriting or typing in my opinion.
There is another note taking app called Tabnotes, currently under development. It looks very promising and could potentially be the killer notepad app. Works really well with handwriting with a stylus.
A trial is available on the market for you to try out, the program has been developed with tablets in mind.
At present you cannot use keypad entry, I have emailed the developer of the app for this function, we'll see what happens.
i am using writepad with Evernote and it works flawlessly. I was nervous because the writepad application cost $10. But if you go to the developers site you can test it free for24 hours.

Do you know if this will sync with multiple devices?

Hello all!
I have been lurking around these forums for a while but finally decided to post. So, I just got my transformer yesterday, but now I need a good note taking app. I was wondering if any of you guys know of an app that allows you to take notes with a tree hierarchy like in MS OneNote? In addition, a note taking app that also has notebook support like in MS OneNote also? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Evernote
Evernote doesn't really have options to bold, italicize, or underline right? Or at least in the android app. It also doesn't have a tree hierarchy when taking notes also no option for bullet points. This is most important to me because I need to organize my notes that I take in class.
You could use the stock polaris office...

Evernote is NOT what he asked for. Thats a super simple note collection sort of app. Have you seen a proper ipad esque note taking app? Evernote is pre-school compared to the level of note taking apps they have on the ipad. Pre-school.
Everyone always replies with evernote. So frustrating.
i think you would be best going with a word processing app like Polaris, quick office or docs to go.
there the best for taking notes
Hmmmm, it seems like my options are limited for now. I suppose the notebook feature isnt too important. Is there any note taking apps that allow you to bold, add bullet points and have a tree hierarchy? Or is that asking too much?

Well I guess we can use your option"criticism" where do we find that on the market.
I tried out MaplePaint last night and it seems to be okay. It saves files in SVG format so they can later be converted into png/jpeg/etc. I would assume that SVG is also easier to convert to plain text with an OCR than other formats since the lines are cleaner.

I'm curious now! As a LONG TIME evernote user (6000+ notes), I haven't seen anything that compares. My wife uses the ipad, but she would be interested in a good note taking app. What do you recommend?
As for taking notes in Android, I find Colornotes to be fast and efficient for things like jotting down the details of a phone call or for creating a "sticky note" on your home screen. I also like the fact that notes remain open when task switching, so you can easily copy and paste bits from other apps without having to constantly open and save a note.

Why not Google Documents? They just recently put out a Docs app, and it appears to run fine in Gingerbread so far.
I like it because I can write notes on the PC which quickly sync to my phone and my tablet. It's easy to write a note and refer to it later. One example is shopping lists. I whip one out on the PC at home and whip out the DX in the store to check it.
Springpad?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
+1 for springpad
Use it for most things, shopping list, Todo list, managing small projects, diary, looking up near by restaurants and has a cool widget.
And it syncronises with your springpad account so I got access to stuff on the phone aswell
Also, re Springpad I think they have just announced a Honeycomb version.
Stupid phatware still hasn't come up with their phatpad. I've used it on the Windows Mobile platform and it is superb.
It can do free writing too as well as text and shapes.

Android's note taking apps all are underwhelmingly basic compared to the Windows Mobile selection.
Android stinks on note taking. I used to use handnotes by choung . No app even comes close to that one. I would pay 100 if someone could make a note app like that. I realllllly like being able to write freehand notes

I am trying to find a good note taking app to go along with my GT-P6210, and I came across the Supernote app on the Asus Transformer. I have heard some great things about it, but I can't find it in the app market. Does anyone know if its compatible with the Tab 7 plus?
Also, if you know of any good note taking apps for a college environment, feel free to suggest. I am looking to be able to make bullets and sub bullets (something evernote cant do) and I would like to be able to write or draw directly into my notes with a stylus.
Evernote w/ skitch allows me to write/draw, but the downfall is that it groups all my drawings seperate from my notes.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Supernote is specific to that tablet but there is an extracted apk though it's not optimized for our tab. Search the forums for it.
You can try quill.

I looked up quill and I may be wrong, but it looks like you can only write. But I found a Supernote apk so ill try that out and let you guys know how it is.
It's working, but not fit to screen... deleted.
Supernote is such a good app...........but it doesn't fit the screen. The sidebar gets cut off so you can't use certain features. It would be amazing if it was optimized for our size tablets
I like Supernote so much I've adapted to using it on the GTP with parts of the app being off screen. I'm hoping that if Asus ever releases the Memo 7" tablet to market there will be a version of Supernote for it. They've teased it at the 2011 & 2012 CES.
alternative to supernote
The app that I use more is Catch Notes, cause it lets me syncro with my phone, but it is not on the same league.
Give GNotes a try. I just recently discover it. It has bullets, you can type, handwrite, attach a picture, a video or some sound.
But actually, I was so busy trying to find a good app, that I didn't realize how good the stock application included in the tablet is. I'm taking about the one that can be found in the bottom bar. You can attach pictures, you can synchronize (haven't try yet), you can write anyplace in the sheet, handwrite (better than GNotes) and it floats on top of the other windows, allowing you to take notes while you are reading an article, for example.

Guys,
I recently bought the note 8.0, while my goal was not to take my regular notebook (real one..you know..papers..) with me and use the note 8.0
as the only source for being use during my day. I still have my laptop, but I prefer to be able to take the note 8.0 with me while travelling and not my laptop.
I installed apps which I think it is necessary for business, and of course, I'm using the standard premium suite apps which pre-installed, but...
I would like to hear from you your top 5-10 apps you can leave with, and please...no game (this post will come later ), business app only.
I travelling a lot, and does not have connectivity always, so I need to have offline and online app as well.
Thanks in advanced,
Tomer

It all depends on user specific needs,
for me the most useful combo is Dropbox + Folder sync + EzPdf - all important files I might need go to Dropbox folder on my PC, then after sync I never have to carry printouts with me, and ezpdf allows me to annotate the files if necessary

I have ezPDF and use it a lot. But I'm finding it's easier to import pdfs into LectureNotes for annotation. I hate not being able to erase my ink in exPDF.

Great topic.
Just bought one myself and in same situation. Going to use it for work also. I have found that a combination of Polaris, ezPDF, Officesuite Pro w/font addon, cloud service, & Google Docs works for most things. Evernote w/Skitch is OK but last I knew you have to pay to sync with other accounts so it is limited. Not sure what you do for a living but there are also some cool space design/measuring/dimension calculating apps. I also have business and fraction calculators installed. Of course Lecture Notes.
Probably leaving some out but will post if I think of something.

Take a look at Notes Mobile also. Unfortunately, if you use the developer setting to do all your 2d rendering on the GPU it has a display bug - no fix and they're aware of it, and the same company has a scientific notation app which works correctly.
The up side is it's the best handwriting recognition I've seen on this device. It does substantially better than the onboard stuff does.
Until they fix the bug, I'm sorry to have purchased it but they're getting dinged enough in the Play store for it that I'm optimistic they'll eventually address the issue.

Just Google it, there's an own website for it. Basically it gives you a structure of tags to organize all's your tasks, especially your emails, too, which are kind of a task. Imo it's only useful if you use outlook in Windows to export mails to evernote. If u use Gmail for example the complete structure can also be achieved using labels, which is just another word for tag..
