Easy Notes For Authors

 

Easy Notes is simple and easy to use. Authors can use Easy Notes for story notes, plot bunnies, and marketing tips. Just jot down anything that comes up. With the microphone feature, you can record a story idea hands-free.

So what’s different about Easy Notes versus other note apps?

In my how-to post, I mentioned the drawing element and the emojis. Each of these pieces can assist authors to quickly get ideas down or create a reminder for later. You could make a string of emojis to represent a key plot point or an emotional breakthrough. As I noted before, you could use the icons to mark certain feelings in the scene or even note the setting. Emojis are a quick way to express big ideas.

In the drawing element, even with only two pens, you can sketch a quick storyboard of a scene. Perhaps you need a visual representation of an object, a room layout, or a character’s look. The available pens are perfect for creating those visuals for your books.

The widget is a great addition to the usual note app. Now your to-do lists can be on your home screen, reminding you of what needs to be done for your novel. Or maybe the widget has an inspirational background with a quote to remind you why you love to write. Or perhaps it has a picture of your hero/heroine.

Easy Notes has some great features to help authors with their writing tasks. Unfortunately, the free version has limitations. I’m not just talking about the two pens in the drawing app or the tease of displayed backgrounds that you can’t use. Easy Notes wants you to upgrade. They ask ad nauseam for users to upgrade. Also, there are ads for games and other apps that interrupt use. For me, that’s a deal-breaker. I don’t watch TV because of ads. I won’t play phone games with ads. And I certainly won’t use an app with tons of ads.

Easy Notes is a good app, but there are other, better, free apps available.
