I have a problem. I finally got all of my Palm memos over to Notebook. I decided to assign some to “private” and selected three. When I went to enter a passcode, I was asked for my “passcode.” I had not created one, but it somehow selected one!

Any suggestions for a way to solve this? None of the “usual” 4 digit codes I might use work.

Thanks, I am after this exact functionality!!

I carry a diary, a notebook, pens because you always lose one or two of them when you are out, my phone, my mp3 player and sometimes my small laptop. (on some occassions i would need to take my laptop with me anyway) But it is so much to carry!!

I have been looking for something that I can use as an organiser and a good notebook for ages, the functionality of the phone being in it is perfect and in addition the iphone does mp3′s.

I am still considering buying an iphone due to its price.. but this review has definitely helped me!!

Thanks again

[...] Appigo Notebook: What Notes Should Have Been on the iPhoneAs a writer, I find having a notebook on hand very useful. Long ago, that used to mean carrying around a bulky paper volume and a pen, which was somewhat awkward and not the most space conservative solution.

Greg Kinderling: Thank you for the tip. I just installed Simplenote. It synced well and easy to use. Great!

You know I tried a lot of notes apps, including Notebook, but I felt Simplenote was the easiest and fastest. I don’t need all the fancy font formatting stuff, just good straight up note taking ability.

Simplenote’s fortes are its elegant webapp which I can access anywhere, and its magical sync abilities which happen instantaneously and in the background. It’s priced cheaper than Notebook, at $1.99, too.

‘Things’ is decent but i switched to ‘Tasks’ and am very happy with the app. I use both it and the inbuilt ‘Notes’ app daily and they’re both free….

@Gazoobee: Yes, you can use Notebook without using Toodledo. Notebook does not require a network connection at all. The online synchronization is just offered as a bonus for those who want access to their notes from additional places.

@jack: The sheer beauty of Things will make it pretty hard for me to ever even want to try a different todo app.

“and I prefer it to desktop syncing, for the same reason I prefer Remember the Milk to Things: your synced information is available anywhere.”

Unless there is no internet connection, which is why I prefer Things to RTM. Goes both ways.

(that’s actually a lie, I also prefer Things because it’s more beautiful, easier to use, more powerful, etc. etc.)

Actually, Evernote syncs with the cloud, not with the desktop app. I wish Things would move to this model.

I do like the look of that Home screen though…

I like their two apps and I think it’s great they offer online sync. I just prefer syncing with Things desktop and Evernote desktop. Old school I guess.

Good article. I’ve been looking for this kind of functionality myself.

I notice however that neither the iTunes write-up on the app nor this review are really that clear about the syncing. In both places, syncing is mentioned and Toodledo.com is as well, but it’s not explicitly stated that one can sync with the desktop, only with the web. is it possible to use this thing without syncing to the Internet with Toodledo?

The last thing I want is another account with another service to remember, and I don’t like the idea of having my notes on the Internet at all. I am getting used to the idea of having my finished documents on the web, but notes are sometimes private, sometimes non-PC and often very personal. My day to day scribblings and ideas are the very last thing that I would want to have compromised on the web.

This sounds great overall, but I wish it synced with Google Docs. I’d prefer not to create yet another account (however free it is). If they added other sync options, particularly Google, I’d be all over this.
