In one of our earlier posts, we had mentioned about the various important questionnaire hacks in order to find the best note taking app. As a student, this is among the most important apps that you would need. Hence, here is a list of the best note-taking apps.
Must Have Note-Taking Student Apps –
#1 Notability
Notability is a third-party note-taking app for Apple devices that is a solid alternative for those that don’t like the feel of Notes. It allows for the creation and editing of text and image notes however its main claim to fame is its streamlined editing of PDF documents and the ability for others to leave audio notes when collaborating on a project. Notability notes can also be shared via Google Drive, AirDrop, any email service, and Dropbox.
#2 OneNote
#3 Google Keep
Google Keep is a Google service that allows its user to create and edit notes that automatically sync to the cloud via their Google account. In addition to the usual note-taking features such as lists and audio recording, Google Keep can also act as a reminder and can alert you to an item based on the time or your current location.
Available on: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Android tablets and smartphones, and web.
#4 Evernote
Available on: iOS, Android, macOS, Windows 10, web
#5 Ulysses
Many people want a single app for all of their notes and school-based assignments. The ideal solution should, therefore, have a text editor that’s competitive with, if not superior to, Microsoft Word and Google Docs. One such tool is Ulysses, which offers a beautiful design and a super smart take on Markdown, dubbed Markdown XL, for text formatting. At the time of writing, though, it’s only available for iOS and macOS users. Bear, another writing app that we absolutely love, shares the same problem. Dropbox Paper is an intriguing alternative but relies on the web for desktop editing. There’s also Scrivener, an expensive but powerful writing app that’s available for iOS, Windows 10 and macOS — but sadly not Android.
Available on: iOS, macOS
#6 Microsoft Whiteboard
Microsoft Whiteboard is a rather innovative app that aims to replace the traditional physical whiteboard. Users can draw or write on the digital whiteboard within the app and everyone else who has access to that particular whiteboard are able to see the changes being made in real-time. They can also make their own edits which can be seen by others.
Available on: Windows PCs running Windows 10.
#7 Bear
Bear is kind of a combination of a note app and a word processing app. It features syncing between Mac computers and iOS smart devices, the creation of to-do lists, and supports the addition of multimedia. Bear really shines when it comes to its word formatting which is on par with programs such as Microsoft Word.
Available on: iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Mac.
#8 Notion
Available on: iOS, Android, macOS, Windows 10, web
