Snaptic: We're First in Google Android Note-Taking Apps

By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributor


Snaptic says it’s now leading all competitors in note-taking applications on Google’s (News - Alert) Android, with about 2,000,000 active installs.

 
The company develops smartphone and Web applications that capture, organize and share information. Snaptic officials say they have a vision of easy information capture for all, and have simplified the manner in which Android (News - Alert) developers can integrate note-taking capabilities into their own applications.
 
Once information is captured from integrated applications, it is automatically tagged and this makes it simple to navigate and retrieve saved content. That’s more beneficial for end-users who are able to sync with the Web, so that content is available at all times no matter where content is captured.
 
According to a company announcement, a large number of widely deployed and popular applications in the Android Market, which collectively represent millions of users, have integrated with Snaptic.
 
This integration makes it easy for their users to save content to their notebooks. The applications are varied and cover a range of subjects including astrology, cooking, drinks and more.
 
Some of the interesting applications are:
 
  • Free Dictionary.org – this application provides definitions, synonyms, pronunciation, spelling, and word quizzes to the users.
  • BBC News – this ensures the users have access to the latest news and headlines from the BBC.
  • DailyHoroscope – access to fresh horoscopes daily.
  • Favorite Recipes – users can access thousands of recipes by ingredients, keywords or categories.
  • 10,001 Cocktails – mixes preloaded recipes with drink search across a variety of drink categories.
 
Snaptic offers note-taking integration options for developers using the Android Platform’s “Intent” feature. Through this feature, developers can easily collaborate and draw from each other’s strengths and core competencies to deliver new, feature rich experiences for their application end-users.
 
“Snaptic is focused on making it easy for people to capture information into a personal data cloud that’s accessible 24/7,” said Steve Brown, CEO of Snaptic. “Now Android developers can easily add note-taking to their apps and their users can save what they want from their favorite apps into their mobile notes.”
