I'll make this story as brief as possible, but read the whole thing because it's pretty hilarious. So, I searched the world over for a tablet that I could use to supplement my online project management software. I needed something to take quick notes during a phone conversation or meeting. Found early on that typing my way through sales meetings with customers just didn't work. I type fast, but they don't talk/think in perfect A, B, C outline form. Neither do I for that matter. Besides, it's distracting.
After much study, I made my decision. Bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. Charged it up and found myself stymied by a few things. No worries. Off to Android Central, reading forums, watching YouTube videos. Downloaded a few recommended apps. Looking for a diary/datebook type app that's searchable. Shouldn't be that difficult. I just want to take quick notes when the phone rings and store them online. Days went by with me obsessed over my new paperless life. Watched more videos, asked more questions. Finally I'd had it. I put the gadget in its case and set it aside determined to finally get some work done. Productivity for this five days had taken a definite nosedive. I totally missed a scheduled conference call (sorry Patty!) because I'd written the name and number on the TABLET and it disappeared into the ether. How professional Apparently I'm not ready to toss the paper planner.
Then it happened. I was searching my desk for one of those infernal missing notes, when I grabbed the tablet to move it. It made a noise. I peeked inside the case to see the NOTE I'd taken with Patty's name and number written on the tablet neatly centered under the date! I swear I have no idea how that happened or what app had opened up.
So now, I am successfully using my expensive and ludicrously wonderful Galaxy Note by closing the cover. When I hear it make a little click sound, I know I'll have my most useful app onscreen. Isn't this pitiful??? I know I'm not the most tech savvy in the neighborhood, but this is downright embarrassing.
A screen shot of the app is attached. If anyone can identify the app and get me to it without having to close the cover on my device, I'll be eternally grateful. And, of course, go ahead and laugh. I think this is hilarious!
