[Q] Looking for a app to sync notes between devices

I am looking to find a program that will allow me to sync todo lists, notes and grocery lists between me and my girlfriend. Free would be nice. What does everyone recommend?

Evernote

Springpad and Catch are also worth looking at.

definitely reccomend Gtasks. Everything syncs with gmail so you'll never loose your tasks when changing phones.

My wife and I use Our Groceries, which is pretty much our only option, because she has an iPhone and it's the only app I've found that will sync our lists across my Nexus S and her iPhone 4.

Springpad is the best. Evernote is polished but isn't really intuitive

I'm using Springpad and quite like it

+1 for gtasks. But -7 for the price.

Catch is free, and available on both iPhone and Android (and web) https://catch.com/

Confused by the choices. However springpad has a upper hand since it also has to do list.

Springpad for me as it allows you to access notes when you don't have an internet connection, also has iPhone/iPad app.
Gx

+1 for Catch
Hello,
I don't know about task list/todo functionality (don't think it has that) but I really like Catch. Is an awesome notes application, and I've used the same account over an iphone and two android phones (and kept the same persistent notes all the way through, has been great!). As well, it has decent browser access, so you can access/create/edit notes on your pc. You can attach pictures to notes as well in the free version. All notes will be stored on both your phone and on catch servers, thus no worries regarding losing them. (If you work for the CIA, I wouldn't use Catch to store state secrets, but don't think the average user needs to worry )
As the base version is free, I'd definitely check it out! Easy for yourself and your girlfriend to sign in to the same catch account, then you share the same notes

[Q] facebook sync

So you got the twitter app for honeycomb. And you can sync your account with your tablet. Am I able to do the same thing with the Facebook app? You know since its not officially in the market for the xoom

Facebook app will not sync on xoom. even when it was officially available on market for xoom it would not sync. Funny thing is it does sync on my girlfriends Asus Transformer

It works on the transformer??? Its time to port things over then. If its possible
of course.

I have had my fair share of frustrations with the Facebook app. I get FB notifications when someone comments, inboxes me, etc... but when I check out the app itself, there is no indication of anything new. If I wait a while (probably an hour), my News feed eventually updates itself.
Also, the FB site sucks in the Browser app. It is difficult to tap on the buttons, and everything goes wonky if I try to view a picture. I usually have to switch to portrait to get anything done.

The FB app is useless. It's worse than terrible on the Xoom and almost as bad on my phone. I use Friendcaster.

so... is there a way to import the sync function from older versions of android to honeycomb? (Pre 2.3) or is there another way to get your facebook contacts into your contacts list on honeycomb??

Facebook Contact Sync

Hello, just got my NS4G today and thought I had a good plan to overcome the lack of Facebook contact sync. Plan A - Friendcaster Pro and Plan B - Facebook Sync. Well, both have worked mostly. I get alot of contacts and pictures, but missing many. I don't think its due to the the friends having blocked 3rd Party Apps sharing their information. Because on my Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1 32GB wifi, with the newest Touchwiz update, I get all my contacts using Friendcaster. But Samsung also now has provided a FB sync with Touchwiz so perhaps it is filling in the gaps?
Regardless, if 1 app can sync the contacts so should another. So that rules out some friends with different settings. Anyone run into this? I know Facebook sync is an island in itself on the Nexus. But I am pondering of anyone has found a non root solution? I have all MAC so I don't have an easy way to root.
Thoughts?

OK, I realized the contacts synched... at least more than I thought. However I'm having to link alot of Gmail contacts to Facebook counterparts than normal.
I also have 1 contact that just won't find the FB counterpart.
Are there any apps to smart join Gmail and Facebook entries? It got alot of them with friendcaster pro. Just need last mile.

Very Useful Calendar App?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone uses their Fire as a day planner of sorts... I use mine for notes and stuff already and was wondering if anyone knows of a useful calendar app that would sync between my Kindle and my phone.. Also, my notes don't sync either, so if you know of an app that does that, it would be a bonus!
Thanks in advance!
By the way, I'm rooted, but running stock, but do have regular market

I use cozi on my KF, Blackberry, and computer. They all sync together immediately when a change is made. I sync my college calendar and my daughters school calender into it as well. My wife uses it on her phone and computer also so we both know each others schedules. She works first shift and i work second plus going to college so its been perfect for us. It has calendar, to do lists, and shopping lists. I used to forget to tell her to pick something up at the store when she went shopping. Now i just put it on cozi when i think of it and she sees it on her phone when she goes. There is a free with ads version and a paid with no ads version. You can download it on amazon for the KF and at their website for your phone and computer.

Best feed reader app?

Hi all. I am looking for a good and simple feed reading app. Tried Feedly, which is buggy as hell and Flipboard which is just fancy and slow. Any other suggestions?

I'm using gReader and I'm very pleased with it, it has an pretty looking good widget and the option to download the articles as text cache to read offline is very useful especially when you are bored and don't have Internet connection, also you can sync with you Feedly account or simply register with you Google account and looking for rss resources is easy.

I use gReader and I like it for its capabilities to sync more easily with my rss podcasts. The second one I'd recommend is press. It has a simple and clean look. Press costs some money though while greader is free.
