How Best To Take Notes On Your Android Smartphone

Android is a great Operating System mostly for its dominance in the market today and for the fact that it is well stocked with useful apps and games. One of the great benefits of running android is the ability to multitask which gives you the power to running several applications without having to reopen them. The convenience of using and android running Smartphone however is limited in that you can only use one application at a time (in the foreground to be specific). This ideally means that you are only accorded the power to switch to your minimised application while the current open one replaces it in minimized mode. When you need to research on the go, switching between the web and a notepad to put down points can wear you out.
The consistent efforts of developers for the android market have given rise to a great application that finds a solution to this tiny problem. Hovernote is a notepad application that does exactly as its name suggests, Hover or rather Hang over your running application. This makes is easy to read content from a web browser or any other application while you take your notes. This is an optimal application for tablet users, but the application works on all android devices so you can use even on a smallish screen of a Smartphone. When running any application and decide you want to take note of your discovery, you can access Hovernote from the notification area and start typing right away.
The app is flexible so that you can resize or move it around to reveal hidden reading areas and in the case of tablets, you can open more than one notepad. The application can be closed by tapping the menu and then the X sign. Saving content you have typed is also made easy in that you can share to Gmail, Google Drive, Dropbox or any other services you use.
