Klaskimo

I also use color note. It has regular notes and checklists. I use it mostly for shopping lists, so no comment on how it would be for music writing. It has never deleted a note or list i made that I have noticed..

i also use color note. Simple and effective.

If you want something more advanced check out Evernote!

t1jordan

I use Evernote. They are backed up online. Or you can try Catch. I have both installed but, I recommend Evernote.

fonseca898

I use colornote. Simple and fast, best for checklists.

Agree, AK Notepad lets you pin a note to the home screens as the same size as any other icon.

InstantMustache

AK notepad works great because of the export feature, but for quick little jots, I use the HTC Tasks widget (limit 50 chars), which also makes me happy.

kilogramz718

thanks for yall help will try evernote

Tre Lawrence

Same here...

pastafarian

Been using AK for a while. It's simple to use and has a cloud backup feature. I love Evernote on the desktop but the app was a little weak. Got to give it another try!

I've been using InkPad, but I'm gong to try Color Note. InkPad is ok, but not very inspired. More of a nuts-and-bolts, basic information keeper.

AlkiDweller

Another vote for AK Notepad.

edlex

Started using Catch Notes today and I really like it much more than evernote. One thing I really like is that you can pin a note to the home screen just like AK. Hopefully their widget won't dissappear like evernotes always did.

im still using ak notepad but will be testing these other apps

edlex

Catch notes is made by the same people who make AK. It just gives a much more robust cloud component similar to evernote.

Sabre66

I used AK Notepad until it erased all my data after an update. I like it, but don't want a repeat of that. Now I use UltraNotes.

Color note

capitoldog

My question is, Can I imoprt my notes from my Palm Treo through bluetooth or some other way? (Color note or evernote)

MyFishWagon

I use CATCH.

Its got a great widget, SD card backup, password protected, and lets you take notes with pics from your gallery, or snapshot on the spot.

Chalk up one more for ColorNote....simple and effective. It even allows you to rearrange items that you have already listed and saved.

The Sage

I use Evernote. It syncs between my Evo, iPad, home Mac and work PC. It has a lot of flexibility in organizing the notes and how they are formatted.

Tre Lawrence

And this is big for me... accessibility across platforms and machines.

Now, more than ever, I look for apps that can be used on different OSes. Never know when the Android love will wane, ya know?

Just got ColorNote. Not only a note pad, but it has a checklist, a widget to paste it to your home screen, alarm/reminder function. Love it!

I use catch as well and its the best.

Good point. I switched from iPhone to Evo two weeks ago. Evernote quickly installed on my Evo and I was able to sync all my notes in a few seconds.

AndroidSPCS

I use Color Note. I have privacy concerns about Evernote. From what I recall, the app wants too many privileges, and your private notes may not be fully secure. Color Note asks for virtually no privileges and you can back up to SD card, as well as email to yourself if needed.

I haven't tried...

Tre Lawrence

Is ColorNote syncable to cloud?

AndroidSPCS

No, but it can back up to SDcard. Colornote doesn't even need network communication, that's how little privileges it asks for.

I use it for to-do lists, after Astrid / RememberTheMillk kept force closing all the time. I love Colornote.

xefe

do any of these have a search/find function?

willisJ

I use catch and it does have search function. don't use any of the backup functions, but it's nice to have the option.

edlex

Aside from using catch I just downloaded slide notes and it works well for a very simple notepad with a small footprint.

sharinlea

I'm apparently the only fan of SpringPad.

fortisi876

Another vote for Springpad.

MerpsMom

I've tried a lot of the above and currently use Mobisle Notes: it's good for the everyday little stuff like groceries and to-do for the day.

I'd like a more robust app for other things, one that would include pictures and cloud sync. I have Evernote, but right now it takes way too long to load, sometimes two minutes. And it's rather complicated, I think. I tried UNote but that would force close when trying to view any pictures I had attached. ( Last night I had to pull the battery to get rid of it as it froze the phone.)

AK doesn't seem to have pictures-attaching.

Am I missing something you smart people own? And I'm going now to check out Springpad.

OurGroceries works extremely well for grocery shopping, especially if more than one person is involved: OurGroceries - Android app on AppBrain

If you are looking for something simple, mNote is an option that syncs with your ipad/ipod/iphone simple note and its cloud back up. Not a lot of features but takes notes and backs them up

Jayo619

Im curious what you mean by music writing... Are you talking about notation software like Sibelius?

Palmetto Fellow

I'm still looking for the perfect note app. However, for creating a simple list of things with a TRANSPARENT background, I really like memo widget.

Here's a screen shot of a simple WalMart shopping list with transparent background:

flailer

Nice; that looks way cool Palmetto Fellow.

Sorry i didnt post up my solution earlier, which has been working great for me for a long time now: Gtasks

It auto-sync with my google calendar (under gmail account)
most often i dont even bother to assign a due date, although that function is VERY important on some tasks.....

Checking off an item doesnt delete it; it just moves to the bottom of your lists, and it is lined-out .... which i find VERY nice.

I also like the full screen usage of Gtasks (small pads (usable screen size) of some other apps and their widgets seem pretty stupid to me)

Oh yeah; the fact that Gtasks allows me to enter items using voice command is important, cause i MOST often find myself making lists while driving or performing other important duties.

oh yeah; the widget is nice in that it allows me to look at the first line of MANY different post-it-notes, at the same time... to see the entire list click on one
