#Evernote review - more than #note keeping

Check out Evernote if you are looking for an awesome note keeping application that synchronizes your data across devices.

I have been using Evernote for more than a year now. It is a tremendously great tool for my learning and information gathering all sources as I can keep taking notes on my laptop and my phone. It is one of the few apps that I use every day as I like to take note to record what I study and learn. I even use it to write my to-do list. It is the app that I use to manage my time when I am on my computer.

In short, it is my
1) note app
2) to-do list app
3) study tool
4) planner app
5) blogging tool

The following are the reasons and functions that I like about Evernote

1) Cross Device Synchronization

Evernote automatically synchronizes your notes across all your devices. With the free version, you can only log in into 2 devices at the same time. However, with a paid version, you can sign in Evernote on all your devices which is available at the next upgrade: Evernote Plus ($3.92 / mo).
