Don’t read this, go straight to the iOS app store and get TextEver Pro while it’s free: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textever-pro-take-evernote/id542597312?mt=8

But hurry. Seriously, hurry: it’s free there for today only and the day is ticking away like mad.

TextEver Pro is a universal app for both iPhone and iPad which usually costs £1.99 or  $2.99 (though, confusingly, the price varies a lot and there are different editions just to throw you). It’s similar to Drafts in that it is a notebook app that opens up ready for you to start writing immediately. However, it’s keyed in to your Evernote account so it’s really a rapid way of creating notes and doing some quick editing of recent ones.

I’ve found it slightly confusing: I want to be able to knock up a note swiftly and I particularly like that it has one-tap buttons for adding the date or the time but once I’m done, I’m done. I want it saved. So far I’m really not clear when the note goes away and when you can carry on editing it or when you can call up a recent one.

You can set a passcode on it but that seems to me to add a beat longer and, if not defeat, then at least nobble the purpose. Plus, if it can recall older Evernote notes to edit, then unless I add a passcode to TextEver Pro, I’m losing the whole benefit of having one on Evernote itself.

Nonetheless, it’s here and it’s free: I’ve grabbed it for both iPhone and iPad. And I like it enough so far that I’ve added it to Launch Centre Pro.
