iPhone App Shoutout: Evernote

I love iPhone programs where you can sync it to the web for phone-less viewing. The mobile viewing is nice, but it can be a pain in the ass to enter a lot of data into the phone, especially when you have big hands. Typing on a small screen is not a fun experience at times.

I struggled a while to find a good note taking program that I could sync with my computer. Evernote fit the bill nicely and did exactly what I needed for a great price, free!

You can save notes, sort them, attached pictures, attach voice recordings and sync them to the website of the desktop client automatically. There is a monthly quote with the free account, but I have not hit close to it since I use mostly text notes. If you need more, it's about $5 a month to get the premium service which gives you a lot more storage space per month.

I use Evernote mostly for entering in shopping lists on my computer viewing at the store, taking short notes on the run, and pictures of books/games/movies I want to checkout later.

The only extra thing I would like from Evernote would be to have shared notebooks. For example, the wife could writeup a shopping list in the shared notebook for me to get when I go to the store. Even without the share notebook, Evernote is a great program to have.

Search for Evernote in the App Store and sign up at http://evernote.com. And no this is not a paid post, I just really enjoy their program.
