Let me say this up front – I am the developer of the above application. Now you may ask, “how can you give an objective review on your own app?” the answer is simple – I am a tough reviewer, especially on my own apps. That will be obvious by the end of this article.

I am aware that all iOS devices come with a Notepad application (and a quite good one at that) but I was finding that I needed a quicker way to get to my notes. This is not a problem on the iPad, as you have a menu on the left where one can tap on the note’s name that I need to get to. Even though the app on smaller iOS devices does have this feature, it can be cumbersome, especially when one is in a hurry.

On the first screen, QNote presents the user with nine different color notes. Each note is independent of each other and allows the user to keep different notes within the app.

Opening a note, presents the user with an area to type a note, along with other options such as:

* The top tells you what the app is doing at a particular time.

* Done – Save document.
* E-Mail – EMail document.
– Help – Help with application.
– Command – Printer options.
– About – Version and Contact Information.
– Trash – Delete Document.
– Notes – Go back to Note Selection.

This application also has a section called “QDraw” which allows one to quickly draw something with their finger send it to someone via E-Mail.

PROS:

– Quickly take notes on the go.
– Auto save.
– Easy to get around the app.

CONS:

– Keyboard gets in the way of the note.
– Does not hold margins when printed to printer.
– No iCloud Support.

FINAL WORD:

This app is not meant to keep your diary on. But if you want to take a quick note or draw a quick picture, give this app a try – and let me know what I can do to improve it!
