Instead of typing letters on the keyboard, I'm sure there are times when I take a picture and use it as a note instead. However, there is a risk that the photo folder will be flooded with notes. It is this application that is useful in such a case. All you have to do is take a picture with the built-in camera. You can organize the notes you have taken with tabs. In addition, the photos you took will be saved in the app, so you won't clutter up your photo folder! Usage examples: - Receipt - Timetable - Cooking Recipes - Deadline for reports written on the blackboard - Organize the screenshot. In addition, you can separate the notes you took with colored tags for each category. Tags can be added, deleted, and reordered from the pre-prepared colors. You can also reorder your notes.

- GET QUICK ACCESS TO DATA THAT YOU WANT TO COPY AND PASTE WITH JUST A TAP OF THE MOUSE - CopyReady 3i is a direct conversion of a desktop application titled CopyReady 3. Just like the desktop version, it lets you manage three different types of files: Text, Image and URL. After you create a group, open the copy item menu and tap the Cr button to create copy items. When you tap a light blue copy item button under the current group button (in red), CopyReady will copy the corresponding text content into the system clipboard. So you can use it long-pressing and selecting Paste with other apps. When you tap an orange copy item button, CopyReady will copy the corresponding image into the system clipboard. You can preview it with this app, or you can use it with other apps by long-press and selecting Paste. Finally, tap a light green copy item button, and CopyReady will open the corresponding URL with your default web browser. Light blue copy item -> Text Orange copy item -> Image Light green copy item -> URL You can have multiple groups, even tens or hundreds of them. If you have more than one, tap one. And make it active. The current group is shown in red, others being blue. Of course, you can change these group colors. It's free to download and use it. And you can create as many as 10 copy items without a subscription. In summary, get copy-ready with CopyReady 3i! - End user license agreement */ https://blog.mhvt.net/?p=7629#termsofuse
