Settings are in the Settings App

So here’s another app for your iPhone/iTouch. Notebooks allows (any guesses) you to take notes. These can include data that you actually entered or even an image that contains data. Sounds fantastic – however, there are a few snags. First, if you are actually using an image as a note, you will have a tough time appending any text to it. Either you use the subject field (not much face there) or you create a separate note altogether which contains the relevant text for the image (troublesome indeed).

Notebooks also provides specialized preferences such as password protection or synchronization. Password protection can be switched on by clicking on the tab for ‘More Info’ and then selecting the ‘password protection option’. After this, the protected note does not appear on the list/ in searches, unless you type in the password in the required field. Also, the entire password protections preference is there in the app itself rather than in the Settings app.

Synchronizing Notebooks involves a cross-platform app called SyncDocs – which many would find a bit too unwieldy and involved. Things could have been made far simpler than this, and that is what you ending up wishing for at the end of the day.

Score: 5/10 | This ‘notes’ application has most of the major features well in place – barring the improper synch feature and a few other points (as listed above). Had these been sorted out, Notebooks would have scored far more – as it certainly has its uses.
