Aquaminds NoteTaker 1.9

Great for outlining notes

I am a student at Harvard Law School and I have been using NoteTaker for a year and a half to take notes in all my classes. It has been a life saver.

These are a few of my favorite features:
1) The drag and drop format. Every line can automatically be dragged and dropped to anywhere else on the page, at any level of outline promotion/demotion. This makes it faster and easier to effectively outline ideas while simultaneously taking notes in class. I also love that you can divide everything up like a real notebook but better, with tabs, sections, and sub-sections.
2) Linking. This is key in law school. I realize that Word also has this feature, but I find it much easier to use in NoteTaker. I can make a short outline on the first page and link everything to its more detailed counterpart elsewhere in the notebook.
3) NoteTaker will automatically create an index for your notebook allowing you to find the location of every single word.
4) I also use NoteTaker for to-do lists, grocery lists, etc. NoteTaker's to-do list function allows you to create these lists which update every day as you add things and check them off, and you can see what you did on any particular day.

The reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars is that NoteTaker is remarkably bad at converting to Word files, so I effectively can't share my notes with anyone else. But for my purposes of taking personal notes, that doesn't make or break the program for me.
