ColorNote - Fabulous Android Note program

Colornote is an amazing note app for Android. It has over 1 million 5 star reviews on Google Play! I use it frequently on both my tablet and my phone. I use it for my shopping list, things I need to remember like WiFi password for a restaurant I frequent, combination to a client's restroom, IP address for OpenDNS etc. I also use it to take notes at meetings.

For my shopping list I use their checklist format, for most things I use a standard notepad. Notes can be color coded and viewed in lots of different formats. Notes can be shared via SMS, or e-mail.

I can't possibly list all the features, but it is very easy to use. Think simple, then imagine even simpler. Besides note taking, and lists, I do use two advanced features:

I sync the notes between my tablet and phone, so I can take notes with either one, and they'll be on both.
Reminder notification. One thing I'm not very good at is remembering to do something later the same day. So when a client says, "please call me back around 2pm", I open colornote and make a reminder note which will send a notification to my phone at 2pm.

The nice thing about using ColorNote for shopping lists, is that most of what I buy I buy again not too long into the future. For example, eggs, lettuce and bread are things I buy often. So, when I buy something, I touch it, and Colornote draws a line through that item and greys it out. Then when I need it again, I touch it and the line goes away and the grey goes away, and it's on my list again. This means that most of my regular items only take a touch to add to my current list.
