App of the Week: Catch
Filed under: Android, app of the week, Apple, consumer, lifestyle, mobile phone
Catch is one of those apps you need to train yourself to use for a while and then it becomes second nature. What is really cool about Catch is its simplicity and the great user interface. If you are looking for a notes/productivity app and haven’t found one yet, download Catch now.

I love the fact that you can quickly jot down a task, idea or voice message. You can add notes to a stream and share your stream so you can collaborate with other people.
I’m kind of lazy when it comes to typing on my mobile or tablet so voice notes is an ideal way for me to keep my thoughts logged or share tasks with my wife and friends. If you have a project or an idea or ten you need some help to flesh out, then simply collect all your ideas as notes into a shared stream. Invite your buddies and workmates to contribute for a collective brainstorm.
Reminder notes are handy as they work with your notifications bar to let you know you have something that needs attention.
One of the best features is the Twitter-like hash tags. “Tags” are a great way to organize your notes into a category without putting them into folders. This makes everything easy to filter and find as you collect loads of notes.
