Visually Driven Note-Taking Apps

'Notebook' Changes Its Users' Note-Taking Routine for the Better

— July 12, 2016 — Tech
With the proliferation of smart phones and the ever-present need for creative and organized people to record their thoughts, an intuitive note-taking app is an absolute necessity. Now 'Notebook' makes that necessity a reality with its simple, visually driven note-taking app.

Previous iterations of note-taking apps could be messy at times, providing digital pages for text notes with little organization. Notebook raises the stakes by offering several different types of 'Cards.' While the Text Card is still a fundamental, it also includes Audio Cards for voice memos; Checklist Cards for to-do lists, packing lists, or other serial lists; and Photo Cards to gather images taken with smart phones.

Each of Notebook's Cards has a logical function, but they can be combined and modulated to the user's whim by gathering them in labelled groups. Notebook lets note-takers organize their thoughts in an easy and fun way.
Trend Themes
1. Visually Driven Note-taking - Intuitive and visually-driven note-taking apps with multiple organizational options will continue to rise as people seek simple solutions for capturing their ideas and thoughts.
2. Multimedia Integration - Integration of different types of media such as audio cards, photo cards, and checklist cards within note-taking apps will become increasingly popular as users demand more functionality to capture their ideas.
3. Personalized Organization - Note-taking apps that offer customizable labels or categories for organizing notes will become a trend as different types of users have varying organizational preferences.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - Technology companies that focus on developing visually driven, multimedia-integrated note-taking apps have an opportunity to innovate and gain traction in the market.
2. Education - Educational institutions and edtech companies can incorporate visually driven and personalized note-taking apps into their curriculum to provide students with new and exciting ways to take notes.
3. Productivity - Productivity and project management industries can integrate visually driven and multimedia note-taking apps to enhance their productivity suites and further streamline their organizational processes.
