I know we all have our favorite “techie” toys. You know, the ones that are fun to play with, save us time and also allow us to be more productive in business. In fact, as soon as I got my iPhone I was asking people what their favorite Apps were that I had to have.
I find it interesting depending on who you ask the recommendations you get from them. I kept hearing you have to get Angry Birds. When I looked at it I saw it as something that really wasn’t for me and would be more of a distraction than an asset to use. On the other hand, having something like Pandora on my phone could be nice if I wanted to listen to some music for a few minutes.
For me though, I like to find and use things that are going to help me be more productive. Both in my personal life and in business. To find an App that serves me across all platforms was a great discovery. An App that works on my iPhone, my iPad and on my iMac home computer was pretty cool.
The Evernote App was inducted into the Apple “App Hall of Fame” and NY Times says it’s one of “The Top 10 Must-Have Apps”. It was also Winner of the Best Mobile App Award from TechCrunch, Mashable and Webbys.
Evernote turns your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad into an extension of your brain. It helps you remember anything and everything that happens in your life. From notes to ideas to snapshots to recordings…put it all into Evernote and watch it sync instantly from your mobile device to your Mac or Windows desktop.
Here’s the Evernote One Minute Elevator Pitch. Check it out and think about how you can use this.
I’ve really enjoyed having Evernote on my mobile devices. It allows me to capture photos, web pages, video ideas and ideas for blog posts. I’m finding that it’s a great place to store information I refer to but can’t always remember. And, it helps keep the sticky notes off my desk and computer.
If you’re not using this App you really should check it out. If you are using it I’d love to hear your feedback on how you use it in the comments section below.
As I mentioned earlier, I’m always on the lookout for cool Apps to use. If you have one that you like please share it with us so that we can all benefit from your insight.
As always, I appreciate your comments and would love it if you shared this with your friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter so that everyone can grow.
Until next time, go out and Live Your Best Life!

Hey Don,
I’ve had this program for a few years now and just can’t seem to find a reason to use it. It sounded great when I heard about it so I downloaded both then iPhone and iMac versions. Alas, they sit there collecting digital dust…
Maybe I need to give this thing a second look and hopefully get some productive use out of it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention once again
Cheers,
Frankie

Hi Frankie,
I’d have a look at it again. I’ve found it handy to use when I see something and want to capture it for later use. I’m sure there are others out there that have great ideas on how they use it. I’m guessing I’m only just touching this on the surface. Great to see you here. Thanks for commenting.

Don,
Evernote sounds awesome! I just read your ‘elevator pitch’ to my 17 yr old daughter and she said, “Cool! I have to get one as soon as I find my iPod!”

Hey Don,
I’m so happy to hear what you have to say. Like Frankie, I haven’t used it much, having had difficulty with my initial log in.
I started using SpringPad – a similar app, but think Evernote deserves another look. Thanks for posting. This is helpful!

Don, your timing with this post is perfect. I downloaded this app just the other day and am loving it so far. Still only using it on my PC, but will get it onto my mobile soon. I’m feeling far more organised now

Louise,
Having it on your mobile is really handy. I don’t know about you but I always think of something or something I want to remember when I’m out and about so having it on the mobile phone is great. I saw in one of the videos on their site how people can use it for their grocery shopping. Just add things you think of that you need and then when you get around to grocery shopping your list is right there with you.

Seems like a pretty good application!

Hi Don,
I have to say the app looks awesome but gee I feel like I’m so behind!
I hear the words Angry birds and Pandora all the time but I actually have no idea what they are as far as apps go. And I guess I can’t even claim to be ‘just new to the iphone’ as I’ve had one for well over a year lol!
So given I only have the bare bones installed e.g. Facebook and Hootsuite, I’m off to give evernote a try. You might make a geek out of me yet

My friend introduce me to evernote and I’m kind of hesitant to use it. Now that I read your review on it, I think its high time to try it. Hope I can have the same result as you have with it.
