In many ways, Evernote is similar to Microsoft OneNote (which is part of SkyDrive), although on Android devices, it's more comparable with the newly released Google Keep Android app (free, 3 stars). You can create Evernote notes in the desktop app for Windows or Mac, through the Evernote Web account, via its mobile app for iPhone or iPad, and of course in the Android app, which is the focus of this review here. The free version gives you a lot-there are no major shortcomings to working with it-but the $45-per-year Premium account is a sweet deal (more on the differences below).

Metadata, such as tags and your geographic location when you wrote the note, are stored with it, too, giving you a dozen or more ways to search for your notes later when you need them. You can type notes, upload images as part of your notes (think whiteboards, recipe cards, phone numbers scribbled on napkins), and record voice memos. Evernote's Android app goes above and beyond what any mobile user could reasonably expect it to do, earning it five out of five stars and PCMag's Editors' Choice.įor the uninitiated, here's the 30-second explanation of what Evernote is: It's a freemium note-taking program that stores all your notes in the cloud so that you can access and edit them from any nearly place you have an Internet connection. It also adds some really exciting new possibilities for what you can do with the Evernote Android app in conjunction with paper notebooks, the kind you'd use to keep sketches and handwritten notes. This latest release overhauls the camera feature used for taking photos and saving them into your cloud-based Evernote account to make it more efficient, and adds shortcuts to frequently accessed notebooks, tags, and search terms via right-to-left swipe gesture. If you thought Evernote, the multipurpose note-taking and organization program, couldn't get any more useful, wait until you get a look at all the new bonuses in version 5 of its Android app (free).
