Zoho Makes Mobile Note Taking Beautifully Simple With Notebook


Zoho (News - Alert) today announced the launch of Notebook, the company's note taking application for mobile devices. Notebook blends visual elegance with innovative approaches to creating, organizing and personalizing notes and ideas, whether they are captured as text, check lists, audio recordings or photos. The result is a beautifully simple application that can be seen in action at https://youtu.be/yyHPiBroUpI.

"Users who spend five minutes with Notebook are going to fall in love with it," said Raju Vegesna (News - Alert), Zoho's chief evangelist. "That was our design goal, even though note taking apps have reached a commodity status. We just decided to set the bar higher by focusing the users' experience. So we present all of our feature advances in very inviting, intuitive ways that engage users and make them enjoy using the app."

Key Features of Notebook Include:





      ?  

Create Notes: Notebook introduces the concept of "Note Cards." Note Cards are built-in, pre-formatted templates for capturing different kinds of content inside Notebook. A Text Card lets users capture anything in a note. The Checklist Card lets users create checklists. The Audio Card captures voice notes, and the Photo Card captures moments. The user interface for each of these Note Cards is uniquely designed for their purpose.

 
?

Organize: Note Cards can be organized into Notebooks. They can be grouped together within a Notebook. Users can also move and copy notecards between notebooks. Users can search for notes within a notebook, or across their notebooks.

 

?

Personalize: Users can personalize various aspects of Notebook. Note Cards can be put into a grid- or landscape-styled views. Users can color-code their Note Cards with a host of provided colors, or by creating their own. Notebook covers can also be customized; users can create their own covers or choose from nearly two dozen hand-drawn designs.

 
?

Cloud Sync: Note Cards and Notebooks are synced across devices, so users can access their notes from anywhere, at any time. New notes and changes made to existing notes and notebooks are automatically stored in the cloud and immediately pushed across devices.

 

"Attention to detail is what separates a good product from a great one," continued Vegesna. "From the time you install the product, the experience starts." Attention to detail can be observed in:

      ?  

Notable Gestures: The attention to detail in Notebook can be observed from the way various elements behave within the app. From a simple swipe of a Note Card revealing additional details to flicking through a deck of Note Cards, the behavior is intuitive. From grouping and un-grouping Note Cards using pinch gestures to the way a group collapses like an accordion, the application has been crafted with elegance.

 
?

Hand-Drawn Artwork: The repository of Notebook cover designs has all been hand-drawn and digitized. To learn more about the artists behind the amazing work, visit: www.zoho.com/arts
