The best iPhone apps for note-takingBeing as busy as I am on most days, I’ve always been a sucker for Productivity apps, so I jumped at the chance to take a look at Fnotes.
Overall, I’m pretty impressed with the simplistic interface and the streamlined note-taking process, but let’s take a slightly closer look to see what else this app has to offer.
As I mentioned above, FNotes: new style notes with its minimalistic design and Dropbox integration features a very basic interface, and I actually prefer Productivity apps of this kind which keep things nice and simple. I definitely think the streamlined layout is a huge benefit for busy bodies like you and I!
The best iPad apps for note-takingWhen you first start using this app, you’ll want to begin by tapping the plus icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. From here you’ll be taken to a blank text field into which you can begin taking your notes and recording your thoughts.
In addition to the basic note-taking-cum-word-processing functionality, you’ll also notice a little padlock icon hovering near the top of the screen. This is pretty handy in that you can tap it to password-protect your entries and keep them safe from prying eyes.

You’ll also be pleased to know that once you’ve finished your notes, you can share them with your friends and family online via Facebook, Twitter, email, and text message.
Pros
Cons
I’ve used a fair few apps that are similar to FNotes: new style notes with its minimalistic design and Dropbox integration, in that they attempt to keep things simple and streamlined.
Some developers manage to pull it off, while others fail miserably, and I would say that FNotes definitely falls into the former category, with a fantastic minimalist interface and some of the smoothest overall functions you’ll ever see.
