NoteLedge is a digital notepad that comes with powerful multimedia tools for creating notes and presenting works straight from a smart device. It provides a versatile workspace for collecting information from multiple sources, connecting thoughts, and expressing your amazing ideas. Take notes, make sketches, record ideas, add web clippings and organize everything all in one place. You get to manage and trace reference sources instantly with a media folder. NoteLedge is the best note-taking app for project planning, creative thinking, writing research papers, and documentation.
I am actually using two note-taking apps at the same time. It's Microsoft OneNote for writing and NoteLedge for sketching and mind-mapping. I think this app it's a new way to transfer your ideas through words, sounds, visual elements and graphics all in one place. Great software for anyone with creative mind, who enjoys interactive sketching and journaling, especially for content writers, artists and designers.
