Cam Notes 1.0.0.0

A nice tool for attaching text notes or voice memos to pics taken with the on-board camera
Using the phone's camera to record memories is a pretty common activity for most mobile users, so there are plenty of applications made to help them personalize the photos while on the go.

Windows Phone users have at their disposal a wide array of such tools and for those who want to give a special touch to their digital pics, an app like Cam Notes will come in handy.

This particular utility offers a couple of simple ways to attach content to the captured shots, so as to allow users to quickly remember the situation in which the photos were made or add other relevant details.

Practical and easy to use front-end

Cam Notes greets you with a straightforward aspect, just like most camera applications out there, so the live view spans over the whole screen, with a few buttons in the main menu hosted in the lower part of the display.

Promptly adapting to modifications in orientation, the app supports both landscape and portrait modes, with a quick switch for choosing the rear or front-facing camera, as well as a flash control for the main cam.

While in editing mode, the commands and functions are at hand, while the workspace allocates most of the space to the note taking area.

The image preview is a relatively small thumbnail, but this is not too upsetting compared to the animated advertisements that appear in this module of the utility.

Quick photo capture and note editing

With this application you can quickly take new snapshots and with a tap o the arrow button shown in the upper left corner of the GUI access the captures to start personalizing them immediately.

Typing in the desired note is pretty easy to do and Cam Notes can accommodate a large number of lines for each picture.

The text is not stamped onto the image, instead it is kept inside the app, so when accessing the respective photo you can read the note while also having the small thumb at your fingetrtips.

Record voice memos and mange the customized pics

A neat ability of this tool is the voice recording feature that enables you to add audio memos to any of the captured pics, using the phone's built-in microphone.

In case you want to have the audio note content replace the written content, use the dedicated switch and after recording your speech, the textual rendition will appear promptly.

When you go trough the images hosted in the app's local storage, you can use the commands from the main menu that enable you to view the attached note, play and stop the audio memo or edit the loaded entry.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

The looks of this application are less appealing and more practical, while in the editing area users come across many adverts.

Function8
 

Well prepared for adding text and voice notes, with speech to text capabilities, Cam Notes lacks some sharing options or image export possibilities.

Security7
 

This utility requires access to several system areas unrelated to its functionality, like the phone identity, location services or phone dialer.

Battery3
 

The stress on system resources is noticeable, especially considering the high power consumption recorded while it is running.

Price9
 

Every feature of the app is free to enjoy by everyone, but the advertisement banners are also present inside the GUI.

Compatibility9
 

The more recent devices powered by Windows Phone can accommodate Cam Notes, as it needs version 8 or higher of the OS.
