• allows for backing up to dropbox an downloading from backups
• Allows importing photos on a page and annotating time

What we Dislike :

• The page flow isn’t continuous and every time a new page has to be created
• No typing tool available, all the things have to be sketched
• the page management is just an extra overhead while taking quick notes
• The ad on the home page of the free app is quite annoying.

What we Like :

• The app has a concept of spaces instead of categories, and each space is customizable and people can be invited to a space’s for collaboration.
• allows use of hash tags which can be later searched for in the device.
• Notes can be text, checklist, photo, voice or reminders. Attachments of photo, voice and reminders can also be added to a note.
• notification bar for showing reminders. Maps can be easily integrated into a note.
• Sync between the iPhone and iPad is great. The best part is the application is free. 

What we Dislike :

• There is no handwriting tool so annotation is not an option
• pdfs or other files cannot be imported easily
• the sync only works with your account created and doesn’t allow dropbox or evernote sync.
• By default the app will sync over Wifi and Data, settings must be changed in order to avoid that

What we Like :

•  An application with features not just for note taking but reminders, Alarms and a journal as well.
• The Home screen gives a great overview of your Plans and reminders .
• The app supports quite a lot of additional features like backing up with WiFi web sharing and iTunes Files sharing
• Maintain folders and sync directly with Evernote.

What we Dislike : 

•  The annotation is great, but mixing handwriting tool and the typing tool don’t go as well as a note taking app should.
• There is no sync between the iPhone and the iPad version of the app which would be very handy as the app supports features like reminders and calendar.

• Can take memos, add figures with captions,
• Has a hell lot of features for everything, no additional in-app purchase for any of the tools.

What we Dislike :
