It’s an app that has been designed to boost your memory and general knowledge. Evernote, the note-taking software, has unveiled a new app that uses the iPad2's Smart Cover to spit out small pieces of information along with the question every time the iPad is opened.
It is a simple Q&A quiz app, and here’s how it works: After activating this app, whenever you lift the first panel of the Smart Cover, Evernote Peek asks you a general trivia question or vocabulary word. Then you peel the Smart Cover more to know the answer. For this, Evernote Peek makes use of the Smart Cover's magnetic panels.
It’s an ingenious and interesting app that offers you to easily build out quick and effective iPad flash cards for any topic. What’s more: you can even connect the app to your Evernote account and take out information you have stored there. The notes can be of any form like: formatted text, web page, an image, a voice memo, or even a handwritten note.
“After studying the features of iPad 2, the thing that floored us was the ingenious Smart Cover. It didn’t seem like an accessory so much as an extension of the device. As we sat there opening and closing the cover, a question struck us: could we use the cover to control an app that would make Evernote even more useful? It turned out that the answer is yes,” Phil Libin, CEO of Evernote said in his blogpost.
“Evernote works by connecting all the computers and phones you use daily, allowing you to capture something in one place and then access it from another. All in Evernote,” the company said.
For best results, the company recommends questions to one sentence and the answer to about three sentences.
The users can also connect the app to their own Evernote notebooks and turn them into study guides.
Note-taking platform Evernote recently announced that it has surpassed 10 million registered users. That’s a whooping jump of 67 per cent from January when the startup reported 6 million users.
