The worst problem with keeping a note taking application on your iDevice is that they never really get used. I'm still constantly astounded by friends who, despite having perfectly fine note-taking apps on their iPhone, still pull out a pen and paper when they need to take notes, phone numbers or important details down.

This social journal for iPhone that has aspirations to be the next Facebook, ... Read more
