pocketBRAIN 2.4.1.0
For those who want to do all this onto their Windows Phone handset, exploring the abilities of an application like pocketBRAIN could be a good choice.
Smooth looks and uncomplicated layout
This utility is made to be really easy to use and the elements of graphical design are pretty well made and consistent throughout the app. The navigation among the various sections of the application is done smoothly and without any delays or glitches of some sort.
The content is presented in a clear manner, easy to read and access inside pocketBRAIN as well as onto the phone's lock screen, if this option is activated.
On the downside, after using pocketBRAIN a few times, some occasional reminders that prompt you to review and rate the app will start to appear now and then.
Add notes manually or using your voice and attach photos
The application provides a pretty straightforward manner of inserting the needed text into a fresh note, so you can write down as much as you want and have the entries listed in the main screen of pocketBRAIN for easy access.
Besides the classical approach that involves using the virtual keyboard to type in the text, this utility supports voice recognition so you should be able to easily dictate the information you want to add to a note.
In case you want to add some extra content, other than plain text, this app allows you to include a picture for each note, by selecting it form the local storage.
View notes on the lock screen and share them on the go
With pocketBRAIN you will have the possibility to rearrange the items stored inside the main screen by simply unlocking the notes with one tap on the button placed in the right side of the GUI.
In order to have all the texts close at hand, you can set the app to be a lock screen provider and then all your notes will appear at a glance. If there are some entries you wish to keep secret, simply tap the button in the lower left side of the screen while inside the note and it will be automatically excluded from the lock screen.
The sharing capabilities of pocketBRAIN include the classical email and SMS messages, but it is also able to send the info stored inside the selected note to your WhatsApp contacts, provided that you have the client app installed onto the handset.

Design / UI8
The aspect of this application is simple, yet efficient and quite pleasant to look at and work with, so it only needs some extra GUI customization options. |
Function9
The multiple input methods, sharing abilities, image attachments and lock screen integration are great and the app would be even better with a reminder system included. |
Security10
There are no secure areas of the system that pocketBRAIN will look into, as it remains strictly in the designated places. |
Battery6
The substantial amount of power required by this application makes the battery usage reach high levels on a regular basis. |

pocketBRAIN is tailored for the most recent devices out there, so only Windows Phone 8 and higher handsets are suitable to install this app onto. |
