Our App of the Quarter - Evernote

Each quarter we pick one smartphone app which we believe enhances productivity or is particularly useful. 

Environet has been using Evernote for the past 6 months or so. It can take some time to figure out how it can be useful, but after a while you begin to wonder how you managed without it.

Evernote’s main use is as a cloud based repository of information that would otherwise end up being filed away in paper copy and would quickly become inaccessible. It can be used to;

• Save handwritten meeting notes and make them searchable;
• Clip webpages for reading at a later stage;
• Take photos of receipts and store, getting rid of paper copies;
• Take photos of business cards, allowing them to be searchable;
• Take photos of newspaper cuttings, allowing them to be searchable;
• Attach files to particular notes.

Outside of work it can be used to store;

• Shop opening times;
• Festival Brochures;
• School notices;
• Goods receipts.

This information is then synchronised and available on all platforms you might use including desktop, web, android, iPhone, iPad etc.  Overall an excellent organisational tool.

Verdict: 5/5 Excellent App. Available on all platforms.
