Note Taker HD vs. Notes Plus

[info]

Funny I have both, and just scratched them, I went with I annotate, downloaded a blank Cornell note template and said the hell with it. Note plus... had trouble with the margins, importing. Note taker HD...where's the record button? Drop Box? etc.... I annotate allows me to import the powerpoint from class.... have a blast. plus i can insert my notes into the pdf and yes the update has a record feature that hand to gloves the text..... anybody in the market for a livescribe pen? I think both apps are great, however success in school is inversely related to the amount of tools you have in the toolbox... more apps is not a good thing.... last time I was in college, i only used an 80page notebook a pen and a book... K.I.S.S. good day

Interesting. I don't have iAnnotate (sp?), but I've heard good things about. I think I'll put it on a price watch list.

I'm torn between the 2, for me:
- notetaker allows pdf import and notation and addition of pages into the pdf
- notes plus allows me to make a directory structure for my notes

Notetaker HD is better. The latest update is really good.

Notes plus is buggy. Especially if you write fast it will miss some strokes.

The best two handwritten notes apps are Notetaker HD and UPAD.

I havent used Notetaker so I cant say attest to whether or not its better, but i will dispute your comment that Notes Plus is buggy. I use it almost exclusively in my history class and i have found it to be very smooth. I have not discovered any bugs in my daily usage that I can think of.
I especially like that i can record lectures and note take and later go back and flush my notes out further in more detail from the recordings.
The cut and move feature is also especially useful.
When I was deciding between the two apps one of the things that sold it for me is that I like how tranparent the developer is. On his site, he is always updating users on what new items hes working on, taking in feedback, and scheduling improvements he's working on. There is a teaser video there for Notes Plus Version 3 that seems like its going to be very good. Built in browsing, cutting and pasting photos from the browser to the note by using a press and hold gesture and opening and writing directly on PDF files are a couple of the new improvements that are upcoming.
Recently he announced he is also working with another developer to use their handwriting recognition engine to export handwritten notes to text. The other developer makes a free app called myscript memo. I know some users in earlier posts were looking for this function.
The dev link can be found here. notesplusapp.com/versions/version-3
Anyway thats my two cents.

I found a new note taking application which is "Beesy". This application is really good because you can take notes really fast and with a smart way and Beesy includes a complete Todo. So you can register automatically your task and follow them. In meeting, your minutes are sent to you colleagues very easily and you can add screenshots.

If people are interested, Beesy has a website beesapps or google "Beesy"

I just downloaded "Cornell Notes" that just came available on the iPad. It's great for quickly taking Cornell Note-taking System style notes, but not a lot of frills or special features. Meets my needs though...
