Visually Driven Note-Taking Apps

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

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.
