The sole competitor to the ultimate smartphone notekeeper Evernote is here! According to research, the human mind is capable of remembering every single thing they have experienced and further to that can remember it to the very end. But the problem arises when they are made to recall a particular instance and that’s where we take the hit and falter. But the human mind has come around these limitations by developing and learning to use tools that enable us to remember things that we should remember, especially those ideas, reminders and activities that are vital to our lives.
One of the simple yet ingenious solutions we developed as a society was to put up sticky yellow post-it notes or other small chits of paper that would stick to one end of the wall or noticeboard.
These notes would list all the key activities we need to take care of in our daily schedules. This functionality was extended to the world of technology with an added layer of sophistication for the convenience of users who actively use desktops, smartphones and tablets.
This amazing note-keeping and schedule-planning functionality has finally has made its way to our Android devices. Enter Springpad – a fully feature-integrated interactive notepad app for your Android device that has everything you need in it in order to ensure you remember all the things you need to know and a lot more than just that. It takes the meaning of remembering what you had to a huge leap ahead and extends the definition of recollecting to a different world.
On launching the Springpad Android app, it asks you to sign in with Facebook, Twitter or Google+.
If you wish not to choose from either of the above, simply type in your email id and a password and you’re good to go. Verify the Springpad account through your e-mail account and enter the world of your memories represented digitally.

- Articles I Want to save
- Team projects for work

Springpad then asks you to choose notebooks that you would like to follow. That’s right.
