Today, I have been searching for a Droid application that will accommodate my needs for a memo pad/text editor. Sometimes I like to write on my phone because it allows me to capture my thoughts without being tied down to a single location. My handwriting has always been sloppy, so keeping a physical notepad has always been challenging for me.
The iPhone is shipped with Apple's "Notes" application. When the application loads, you are presented an interface resembles that of a ruled yellow writing tablet. I've used it extensively for memos and notes; both long and short.
Today, I choose the Droid 2 as my "carry along" notepad. I'm relatively new to the Droid 2, so I had to search for a "memo pad" application. I really did assume that it shipped with one, aside from Quick Office, and the dandy sticky note widget. It didn't!
How shocking?, I thought, for a full featured modern phone to not have a usable application for memos!
So far, my favorite free Android application for note taking is called Wizard Memo, by Wizard Works. WM allows you to create multiple entries and automatically stores them within it's file system. It stores all of your memos in one centralized area. The other applications I tried either didn't auto save, one of them didn't automatically wrap the text within the screen's margins, and most of them made managing your notes a science which requires the understanding of directory structure (which many users do not). Wizard Memo automatically takes care if all these concerns, and organizes your memos in a style that requires zero effort or planning, and in a way that is very "in your face."
This is definitely an application worth checking out on the Android Market if you're in need of a memo pad, simple text editor, or a program just to take quick notes. *****
