Currently, it is not possible to annotate or edit PDFs attached to a particular note. One of the potential weaknesses in Evernote's notetaking abilities is its handling of PDFs. This is useful as it allows you to build up a very powerful search database that is accessible on the go. Now while the note for a cardiovascular exam and a knee exam would be located in different notebooks, clicking on the tag ‘Exam’ would show both notes. An example would be to tag any notes that have instructions on how to carry out physical exams as ‘Exam.’ These are keywords associated with your note that link notes on different subjects (very similar to Twitter hashtags). When you create/edit a note, you can add or remove tags.

Tags are one of the more powerful features of Evernote. Evernote have recently purchased Penultimate, so we expect to see the ability to make notes with a stylus come to Evernote soon. With all these options available to create notes, you should be able to find a method that works for you. When it comes to creating notes on Evernote, there is a considerable range of options available including text entry, photos, attachments, audio recording, location-based information, calendar links, email and tags. There is a free version with a limited upload capacity and premium version that gives you significantly more upload capacity. Evernote is constantly synced and backed up to the cloud. There is an excellent search function whereby you can search by keyword, tag or even printed and handwritten text inside images. I am pleased to say that I have now had enough time to explore Evernote and can now highly recommend it as one of the best note-taking apps for medical purposes.Įvernote is an app available on a wide range of devices, including desktop, web, Android, iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and Windows 7, that allows you to ‘Capture anything.’ The idea is that you can make and save notes on the go and add a variety of media to each note.

Readers of the iMedicalApps forums will have seen that Evernote was rated particularly highly by a number of commenters when asked ‘ How do you use mobile technology to help with your studies?’ As a result of this, I was encouraged to try Evernote out for an extended period and see what impact it could make upon my learning.
