There are very few apps that I would put in my hall of fame. However, there is one app that I believe belongs there without question. That app is Evernote. There is a companion website, so one can use either the website or the app if one is on a mobile device.
Essentially, Evernote will allow one to save clippings of information, web pages, and links to save and access later. One may clip a page from a website and store it so one does not have to take up space on one's computer.
Have you ever gone to a site and accessed information, for example, a recipe and wanted to save it in an electronic format to as not to have to write it down or print it? I, myself, used to have to deal with this quagmire, and then I discovered Evernote. Furthermore, with the Evernote app, one can use a mobile device's camera to take pictures and save the pictures in Evernote. One can also make voice recordings and save the audio files in Evernote.
So, to recap: one may save clippings of sites, information from a website, pictures taken with a mobile device camera, and voice recordings or voice memos. But wait, there's more!
Evernote is absolutely free! Yes, you read that correctly! One may sign up for the free account and get 60 megabytes of data upload for free. One can certainly sign up for the paid (premium) account. However, I have been using Evernote for several years now and rarely have I ever come close to exceeding the 60 megabyte limit for the month. I still cannot believe that they offer a free version of Evernote. This app is a must especially if you do a significant amount of research on the Internet!
If you are interested in the iOS version of the app, I have posted a link below for the iPhone/iPad version. There is also a link below to Evernote's website where you may obtain more information on Evernote.
