I then started looking for the obvious options and started to cross all of them off. Must not lock me into their world just in case they get bought out or closed down.Must be able to import or read the notes extracted from Evernote.The notes must be rich text (as in it allows a bit of formatting).Cloud syncing so that I can access my notes from my tablet, phone and computer.I decided that I had to leave the Evernote world but I had to work out what the requirements were: *Edit – I’ve dropped BananaText for Epsilon Notes*

I mean “What The….” why am I using an app which takes up 64 times the size of the data when the most I’m using it for is note taking and searching? I’ve looked at the storage space required for Evernote on my tablet…. I don’t need a behemoth, I need a note taking app that’s quick, easy and doesn’t hog my memory or storage space. For some people it makes sense because they use it to manage their workflow. I’ve never actually felt comfortable with using it, even felt at times a bit hypocritical. I’ve mentioned many times that I really don’t like Evernote with all of it’s functionality and pomp. You only have to read one or two of my reviews to know that I don’t like apps that hog memory and space for no good reason.

First of all I need to tell you why I left because if I don’t do it straight up nothing makes any sense.
