I switched to the green side

I am a hardcore OneNote user, but the complex and clunky and unintuitive Android app for OneNote has forced me to look elsewhere in search for a new digital notebook.

And I will have to admit, I am quite impressed with the EverNote App for Android. It seems to be created to be used on small screens. Which is great for me, because I love compact phones and use one.

In terms of feature both seem to be on equal footing. Like OneNote, EverNote allows me to create notebooks and then tag each note to a specific category. The tagging feature seems really useful and should help me to be better organized! And if that was not enough, EverNote, like it's counterpart, gives its users plenty of text formatting option.

However, it is not all glory. EverNote, unlike OneNote, is a freemium App. That means extra features will be made available to the user if the user decides to pay a subscription fee. The free model is really limiting. As it only allows the user to only upload 60mb of notes into EverNote per month and the free users would also need to be connected to the internet to have access to their notes.

In a world, where OneNote exists and even provides superior features than EverNote on other platforms like Windows. It seems to be an act of suicide for EverNote to limit the users of basic requirements in a note taking App, in the hope of earning more money. As OneNote provides all of its services at a convenient price of 0.

Flagships no longer required?

The last time I used a flagship phone, was way back in 2013 and it was the Galaxy S4. The Exynos variant to be exact, back in 2013 Exynos was not cool. It was miles behind its Snapdragon counterpart and it was visible. My experience with the S4 was horrible. So horrible, that in fact, I haven't had the courage to purchase another Flagship since then on. After that, I switched boat and jumped to the WindowsPhone clad. My first taste of WindowsPhone was from a Lumia 520. The cheapest WindowsPhone! But, the performance at times was better than my less than a year old flagship Galaxy. WindowsPhone was fluid even on extreme budget hardware. Later on, I upgraded to a Lumia 730, which to date I adore. It is for me the best phone ever! The only place where it lacked would be the storage. Then I jumped shipped again to Android and am now using a Redmi 4x. So the point behind me going through my phone purchasing history is to show, that you do not need to break the bank or sel...

Pocket Nowadays everyone has more than one computing device. Be it your desktop, laptop, smartphone, 2-1 PC or a tablet, everyone of use at least uses a couple of this devices together in tandem. And everyone needs a good browser to surf the internet ! this leads to a problem. A problem which pocket solves in the most simplistic of ways. I for one use Firefox on my pc and chrome on my phone. As a result it makes it really difficult for me keep a track of my bookmarks ! I mean did save that article on my pc or phone ? Pocket solves that problem by creating extension for popular browsers like Firefox and chrome, in fact it is a built in feature in Firefox ! It simply adds a button called save to pocket( ), by just clicking that button the page which you are currently on will be bookmarked and saved to pocket.
