Evernote is a great little digital note-taking app that hopes to rethink the traditional method of the pen and paper. The service offers the ability to turn a variety of media formats into notes, making it something of a mix between a scrapbook and a journal. The application organizes everything from essays, photos, to just random thoughts. While other competitors have failed due to proprietary technologies, Evernote succeeds with its cross-platform compatibility. The free price tag is tempting, but after a few days in use, there is a lot to say about whether the application is helpful or simply another hassle. 
Evernote is packed with so many killer features, and gives its competitors (most prominently, Microsoft's OneNote) a tough time. The app's UI is faster, simpler and more attractive than its competitors. The new layout gets out of your way, so you can focus more of your attention on your notes and less on buttons and scroll bars.It offers the ability to create text-based notes as well as store web clips, computer screenshots, and to-do lists. Evernote also accepts files formats including image files, audio recordings, HTML and PDFs. The application automatically organizes notes by running Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on all data. This enables all stored documents, including pictures of text, to become searchable. Browsing through notes is a simple task since everything is organized by date or name. The application lets you create multiple notebooks carrying multiple notes, it lets you export your notebooks in formats like HTML, HTM, MHT or TXT. There's also an option for merging two or more notes into a single note. It also allows to view geo-tagged notes in Google Maps.

Evernote’s real value is in making data accessible. Cross-platform synchronization allows users with multiple devices to view or create files from just about anywhere. Evernote does has Windows and Mac versions, but it is also compatible with the iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad), Android, BlackBerry, Palm Pre/Palm Pixi and Windows Mobile. There's also a web-based version of Evernote, and there are extensions for Google Chrome and Firefox too which lets you clip content from the web.
Evernote's free basic version gives you all the above-mentioned features and more. However, the paid one, Evernote Premium gives you bigger upload capacity, supports more file types, and offers enhanced security. Plus, you get PDF searching, faster image recognition, and no ads and more, all for the cost of $5 per month or $45 per year.
Evernote sure is a "noteworthy" app, give Evernote a try, go to Evernote.com right away.
