NOTE taking app with syncing feature - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
What is a good note taking app (NOTES) which has a syncing option to google drive or any other drive?
Thanks

Google Keep works nice for me (I share grocery list with my wife and small accounting with my friends). I used ColorNote earlier, that's good app as well. Microsoft fans would suggest OneNote (bit complex for me though)

[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.

+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

Hey, that's a good idea!
OP, Wolfram Alpha has a few apps out which are really helpful for math courses.
I find that Dato's GTasks is a nice and simple to-do list that syncs with google tasks quite well. It has multiple list support so you can sort out your different classes/etc.
I use "My Class Schedule" (market.android.com/details?id=de.rakuun.MyClassSchedule.free) for keeping track of grades/homework. I also like the widget for displaying the courses of the day.
Are you in secondary(high school) or college/uni?
I have found that all I need for college is some sort of pdf reader such as Adobe or whatever suits for looking at my timetable and the odd document. Everything else I have found has been handled pretty well by the phone such as setting reminders and alarms.
It's really convenient (and sometimes less expensive) to download books you are required to read, using the Kindle app (Amazon), the Nook app (Barnes & Noble), or the Google Books app. All are available on the market.

one advantage ive noticed with google keep over evernote so far after a few mins is the integration it has with google now just press the google now button and say "note to self..." and say something that you want to remember for later" it stores in the app. still messing with it but ill keep evernote on the side as its my bagel/coffee order app to remember what everyones bagel and coffee prefs are lol, and ill keep any.do for now for shopping lists with my wife.
Is this backed up on cloud or the phone itself?
It's backed up on the cloud, on Google Drive as best as I can tell.

I guess that there is no need to fear that they will put a stop to this. So long as Google Drive exists, Keep is for keeps!
This is primarily saving data/ file onto our Google Drive and hence the service should not logically end.
badly that only armv7

Audible - Evernote App - before buy

Hi all!
I'd like to buy a smartwatch but I'm really unsure about model... pebble is great and have all the features I need, the price is good but the taxes of import in italy is crazy....
The same price I can buy a SW2 but i don't know if it does what I want...
I want use my audible app, launch, play and stop...i use it everytime I drive, and I want se my evernote note to see my workout at the gym.
can someone tell me if I can with sw2 and add on app?
thanks!!!!!!
ciao
Daniele
Hi there!
For the notes apps, there are various alternatives, for instance EverWatch will show your notes from Evernote in your watch, but it is not free. I can recommend you the one I use that is Daily Helper, it's free and works with any app that you can share your notes, for instance I use Google Keep. Since I don't know if you can share notes from the Evernote app, but if you can, then certainly it will work.
As for the Audible app, I'm not sure if there is an app for the SW2 that can do that, however you can ask the developer of Audible to see if he can do a SW2 extension?
Regards
Thank you very much,!

[Q] good notes app

I'm looking for a good notes app (possibly like Google Keep, looks and functionatlity wise), that has more focus on privacy. The best would be an app that stores the notes in an encrypted form, and offers sync, so you can edit notes on the PC as well.
I've found "SealNote" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedplane.sealnote which looks interesting, but I don't think it offers sync capabilities. Is there a note app with encryption AND sync option?

Use Color note its perfect.. But there is no encryption only lock....
Yeah, i also use color note
It doesn't seem to be possible to edit notes on the PC though, or is there? Also, can you only sign up using your Facebook or Google account?

When u need to copy text to pc..than u can copy from colo note to any text file in phone then transfer it to pc...
Hope this helps
Not what I'm looking for. If anyone knows a notes app that supports sync and editing on the PC, like you can do on Google Keep, but with privacy, please let me know.
