One of the first questions almost any new Apple iPad or Apple Macbook Pro customer asks friends and coworkers after their purchase is, "What apps should I get?" For many people, the incentive to buy these new devices comes down to finding the newest, best programs to help them get organized, keep track of their day and have fun doing while doing it.

Evernote, a collection of software applications designed for note-taking, has become one of the most popular solutions for business types and can be used by virtually anyone who has things to do and people to see.

Once a user downloads Evernote, which is available on many different operating systems including iOS, Android, Mac OS X and Windows, they can create and store notes that include text, pictures, audio, video, whole or partial snippets of websites, and attach files. If you have Evernote on several devices, your data will sync across all platforms, making them accessible if you have to switch between your notebook, tablet or mobile phone.

Evernote also enables collaboration, allowing you to share notes with anyone else who has the software. This could come in handy if you are scheduling meetings and appointments and need to agree on the details with other participants.

One of the most useful features Evernote is the ability to clip portions or whole websites and store them in an entry. This would be useful if you want to store your airline itinerary where it is easy to access, or if you want to remember a tracking number for a shipment.

Best of all, Evernote is a free program. The app does allow users to pay extra for more storage space, which is currently set at 60 megabytes per month.
