Evernote Reminders Now Available on the Web, iOS, and Mac Versions

Evernote is a great program and app that has made so many things simpler and more condensed. Not just a note taking app, but an all around organizer, planner, and place to keep up to date on everything going on. With the kind of service sometimes it’s easy to forget what you have going on with every little task you have started planning for. For that reason, Evernote has rolled out with a great new feature for its iOS, Web based, and Mac versions of its app. The new feature that has been added is reminders set directly into the app and the notes pages. This means with the simple addition of a few clicks or a few taps you can have reminders set to pop up when you need to look at, revise or finish up a page of notes that is time sensitive.

This type of reminder based addition to an app centered around note taking is incredibly useful. Take for example a note you have started making about a person’s gifts or presents you need to get for them. Set the reminder for a week or so before the date so you know you can not forget to pick one of those ideas. Also, have an important meeting with someone? Write down the questions in a note and then set the reminder for when you are seeing them to remember to look over all of your important things you need to discuss.

This is also a great feature for those groups or businesses that use Evernote to share items of productivity or business within their own people. With time sensitive reminders based on spreadsheets, business reports or budget notes, reminders can have these items pop up for the times allotted to review these types of things while in meetings. This makes sure nothing that needs to be addressed get forgotten.

The best thing about this app is that it is a simple addition to a great app, but it ultimately makes the app so much more useful and powerful without adding any clutter or new, hard to navigate menus or anything like that. It is a great reminder system that exponentially increases the level of integration Evernote has in making the notes taken meaningful and not forgotten. This has been a heavily requested item for this app, so to see it now having come to fruition in such a great way is an awesome sight. Whether you’re an Evernote user or not, go snatch up this app and start making it part of your life.

AirLyrics: The Great Lyrics Finding and Searching App for Android

There are tons of apps that help you find the lyrics to your favorite songs. Mot of them are apps that are essentially glorified internet searches and provide no real help in the search itself. Finally, there is an app that not only searches, stores and provides the lyrics to the songs you listen to, but it’s free and works incredibly well. The app is called AirLyrics and is set up to make the search for lyrics to songs you listen to obsolete.

The app works in the background while your music is playing and it finds the lyrics and stores them so you can look at them later, or display them while the song is playing. AirLyrics works with a massive amount of default music players so there is no configuration or settings related jargon to mess around with while setting it up.

AirLyrics is set up through the LyricWiki database so any lyrics available there out of the hundreds of thousands of songs on that database will be found quickly and received directly on your Android device. With an app that is constantly searching and saving data files you’d expect it to be clunky and take up a bunch of memory and data usage, but this app is so streamlined that it doesn’t even take up more than 1 MB of storage and to view the lyrics for one song only uses 40kb of data.

This is truly the best app out there for finding, viewing, saving and accessing lyrics to songs without going out of your way to do searches and fiddle around with an assortment of other apps. It is free with ad support as well.

Google Voice Issues to be Resolved for New Hangouts App

Google unveiled their newest app to the world of Android a few days ago with Hangouts. This app is supposed to take over all of their multitude of messaging apps that they currently have and replace them with this unified and well balanced messaging and communication hub. There was a major problem right off the bat though. Google Voice was not immediately functional from the new Hangouts app, so people who had switched over to Hangouts, but needed to still use Google Voice were left scrambling to reset back to the old app to still use that service.

No introduction of a new product goes over without any speed bumps, especially one from such a wide audience as Google customers, but the Google Voice slip up was a pretty large one and warranted a mention from Google’s higher ups that inbound and outbound calls will be supported with Google Voice in the Hangouts app very soon. How soon is very soon? They didn’t set a date in stone, but for those who heavily rely on Google Voice the service is still up and running, just independent of the Hangouts app.

As of now, Hangouts is basically the same thing as Google Talk which many of us Gmail and Google+ users have on their phones already. It has nothing amazing about it that Talk didn’t necessarily cover, and the real issue of total integration will only be resolved once Google figures out the Voice inclusion with the Hangouts app. Until then, I’ll stick with trusty old Google Talk and when the Hangouts is completely ready to hit the ground running I’ll give it another go.

Hungry Now: A Fast Food Finding app for the Windows Phone

We’re still on a bit of a Windows Phone kick here at TechnoBB, so here’s another little gem of an app that’s new and exclusive to Windows Phone. It’s called Hungry Now. The app essentially comes into play when you get that feeling of sudden, and intense hunger that accompanies those awkward stomach gurgling noises and other embarrassing, uncontrollable things. Hungry Now is great at what it does. Sure, you can always do an internet search for what kinds of places are around you to eat, but it’s not as concentrated or fast as the results from Hungry Now are. With this app all of the relevant fast food restaurants in your vicinity are tapped into and displayed on a mapped out area. This shows you what is close, what kinds of restaurants and exactly how far they are.

The best part of this app is the simple yet customizable user interface. With most apps of this simplicity there is no customization and what you see is kind of what you get. With Hungry Now you can go in and select which restaurants you want shown in your search results and which ones you don’t. This means if you’re simply a burger man and you’re in an area where Mexican food is king, that lone burger place will pop up to be your savior.

This app is great for people who are on the road a lot or just new to a general area, or even people who just want to see exactly what is around in the city they live in. It really is quite useful for being as simple as it is. Once you get this app you’ll never go hungry again, as long as places are open that is.

The last thing worth mentioning is that the app is free. Also, it is worldwide. This means the app will come to your aid no matter where in the world you are that has fast food. A great app for travelers or students, Hungry Now will get you to fast food, fast.
