- Speed. After closing all apps on the iPhone, I counted how long it took Awesome note to open and allow me to start typing. The first time was approx. 3 seconds. The second time, approximately 5.

When I did the same for Evernote, it took a good 10-11 seconds for it to open, do its thing and get ready to take a note.

This is huge when you’re standing in front of someone (your boss) trying to create a “to-do” item. Now, I use the free Evernote. I believe the paid version allows you to make notes “off the grid” so to speak and maybe that’s faster.

- Your to-do items can have images attached. I use this all the time at work because we still use message pads. Someone will write down a message for me, I’ll take a picture of it and create a to-do with a date and time if necessary to get back to them. This is also a big reason why I don’t simply use Apple’s Reminders.

- Evernote’s task list or checkboxes can’t have due dates attached to them.

What I like better about Evernote…

- Evernote is my go-to tool for clipping stuff off the web that I want to keep for reference later on – i.e. article ideas, cool products and so on. I don’t save these to any Awesome Note folders that have been created in Evernote as I can reference it on my iPhone nicely and from the comments here it seems A-Note doesn’t handle web clippings all that well anyway.

Hope this helps you decide which to use.

I simply use Evernote, Wunderlist and my calendar and in happy

Awesome Note does *look* very cool though.

I like Evernote very much and use it on my Android phone, iPod Touch, and OSX. And I love the Android widget very much and have used it to take and sync photos and audio notes. I also use Awesome Note on my iPod Touch and appreciate how I can sync my notes with Evernote.

However, in syncing my devices, I seem to have lost some audio I recorded. Here’s what happened: I recorded interviews on Evernote on Android; synced the Evernote app on OSX; In Evernote OSX, I placed the notes in notebooks that synced with Awesome notes. After syncing all my devices, the audio attachments have disappeared, even though the headers and text are still there.

Is there any way to recover the audio notes? Thanks.

Apart from that, as earlier commentators have remarked, to-do lists are flattened into plain text and it is unclear t me what happens to the formats (priority, reminders) that awesome note supports when they are sent to Evernote. In brief, t seems way to early to get excited about Evernote and awesome note working together, because they aren’t. I hope that this will change, but at this point it would be fair to mention these problems. And yes, I think this is also a responsibility of Evernote as long as they are featuring the app in their Trunk and on their blog.)

1) Can I set alert to ring multiple times for my event, for example, if I set my event from 9:00AM to 10:00AM, I want to have sound alert between 9:00AM and 10:00AM until I dismiss it?

2) Can I change alert ringtone in Awesome notes?

3) Can I have multiple selections for the alert, for example, to set it once, twice ,etc..?

Thanks a lot,
Jenny
