Groups are "in" when it comes to applications, and new iPhone app aims to use the group to distinguish its ability to take notes. Rocketr (free) web application is a simple, no-frills, synchronized cloud notes, as the only Official iPhone client. Its most attractive feature is, however, the ability to share notes with the community of editors and share notebooks with even wider audience, too.
In contrast to the Process, which offers catch-all for a wide range of inputs, Rocketr sticks to the basics: white on black text. But that is to say, it's easy. It has a few nifty tricks up its sleeve, not least of which is the automatically synchronize with Rocketr on the website, where you can download notes at any time from any browser, device, capable of the Internet.
But Rocketr goes beyond other applications notes — and even MobileMe with Sync Services — by entering a Note. Firstly, you can add an unlimited number of editors to notebooks, who also will be able to add to and amend the content of the note is added to. Secondly there is the possibility of an unlimited number of public notebooks that will be viewed by other users, who can comment on Rocketr (version of the web site only for the moment), follow and Star notes for later use. Rocketr includes three free private notebooks, and probably, the plan is later added the ability to have more for the price. Rocketr web application is currently only available as a beta, but you can register for an account through the iPhone app without code Invite.
Rocketr you can also add notes by emailing go@rocketr.com with the email address associated with your account (you can add as many as you want), or tweeting with the hashtag # rkt (after an account Twitter account Rocketr). This is a simple, yet effective, making sure you can easily find thoughts tweeted again later on after a few moments, or to quickly information about a file in the RT for later use.
IPhone app allows you to quickly add new notes without leaving the notes view, so to Add a simple button which quickly files what you're working on and raises fresh composition on the screen. See using applications for conferences as an excellent way of tools rapid switching during Q&A, for example.
But its real potential is Rocketr in its social aspects. Ability to follow and be followed by colleagues, as well as other, who have their interests opens a new world, as far as the ability to collect and share informal opinion. Which can be very useful, for example, when working with the pool Editor to coordinate a range of events. Or during the preparation of meals and shopping list to dinner with the extended family.
Rocketr was developed using approach lean startup, and is not yet perfect app (comment must still be made, as I mentioned, and you can create a new notebook using the web interface), but more effective than many other applications of navigation, which are not free, and the developers promise a lot of updates to come. Nathan may intimidate some of its wealth of features, but Rocketr keeps track of things light and breezy, almost as the difference between Log project detailed, stamped and pocket-sized moleskin. If you are looking for smart, capable app notes, which never seems to be just as cumbersome to use and plays nicely with others, give Rocketr a try.
