Finding and Installing These Apps

You can obtain all the apps we discuss in this chapter from the Android
Market (see Chapter 17: "Exploring the Android Market" for more
information). The easiest way to find apps is to tap the Search icon and
type the exact name of the app in the Search window. Because there
are dozens of alternatives in this case, you may be overwhelmed at the
number of apps if you type in only the general category. Once you find
the app you want, tap it and install it. If it is an app you want to use
frequently, move it to one of your DROID Home screens by long-
pressing it and dragging it.

Notes-Based Apps on Your DROID

We will cover two of the many notes-based apps that you can use on your DROID. The
AK Notepad app is more of a standard, easy-to-use notepad app. Evernote is a more
of a full-featured note-taking app that includes the ability to attach multimedia items to
your notes, including pictures, files, and voice notes.

AK Notepad App

To use the AK Notepad app, begin by downloading and
installing the AK Notepad app from the Android Market.
If you are used to other notepad apps from other devices
such as an iPhone, iPad, or BlackBerry, this app will look
familiar. The default Note view displays yellow-lined notepad
paper.
Adding and Labeling (Tagging) New Notes
It's easy to add and label new notes.
Simply tap the Add note line at the top of
the main window to start composing a new
note.
