For many mobile users, note-taking apps and services are an indispensable tool to keep track of their schedule and tasks. In fact, Apple mobile users have long been enjoying the built-in Note feature on their devices for creating basic to-do list, while others refer to Evernote and Workflowy for more elaborate note-taking tasks.

Both were smartphones to my surprise, most of my friends are not tech people at all and have no need for all of the functions of a smartphone.
