Notes Pro iPhone app

Notes Pro is a neat notes app for the iPhone that lets you take notes, search and partially sync them with Google Docs. The “partially” part is problematic, as far as I’m concerned. It can only upload notes to your Google Docs, but can’t read existing documents. If it provided two-way syncing as well as copy/paste functionality as some other note taking iPhone apps do, I would instantly grab it. This way, I’m still thinking do I actually need it, even though it costs only a buck ($0.99).

On the plus side, Notes Pro supports landscape view/edit and the search functionality is pretty solid, mimicking Spotlight from the Mac. But without proper syncing, I just can’t “push the button,” especially after falling in love with Evernote (although it also lacks copy/paste).

Anyway, it’s good to see mobile apps starting to take advantage of the existing web services, allowing cross-platform functionality. Hopefully, the folks behind Notes Pro are reading this and they’ll do something about their app, to make it better. Let me repeat once again: add copy/paste and full syncing with Google Docs, and I’m all yours. ;)
