Whether it’s smaller or longer part of information that you need to remember, the iPad is the best for taking notes.  Easy accessible notes are the requirement for the majority of users. Apple offers a response, with the in build app for the notes. But fake leather and not accepted appearances of the notepad and font leaves people are now looking for its substitute. iOS 4.2 probably coming in November with extra options of font for notes.

HelvetiNote by Rage Digital provides some remarkable limitations with effortless substitute. It has well-built and very clear look. In both portrait and landscape view it has similar fundamental layout. On the left of the screen notes are listed in the columns, and the note you are editing is dedicated to right of the screen. One third of the screen taken by the left columns in landscape mode. In the middle two columns are split down. Additionally notes can be edited on full screen that you want to focus.

On above the list of note by tapping the plus sign new notes can be created and it has default title “new note”.  In Helvetinote at the upper corner there is a small pencil icon by tapping this you can add line drawings to the note. It has minimum choices for drawing: To erase the drawing eraser can be used. It is not the app for drawing, but it is app for taking note so the basic tools are adequate. By tapping icon of letter you can email the drawings directly from the app.

HelvetiNote color format can be modified by tapping the lower corner icon setting. It has four themes which are in-built: white, grey, yellow and black. By sliding the panel setting you can customize your color.

On the glimpse, HelvetiNote’s design and layout makes it attractive. This app for taking note has unique functionality for search, from which you can access notes quickly. Synchronization of devices is very significant to the several people, it’s in built to the notes app default and additional accepted substitute such as Simplenote.

It is a well designed alternative app for taking note on iPad pre-iOS 4.2. Users should be aware of its limitations, before excessive use of app.
