NoteIt is a simple yet powerful app that allows you to attach notes to the photos and videos you just took, so you can revisit them later to refresh your memories about them. You can use them as a decision helper when choosing products from different shops with the compare feature; you can journal your travel, work, and life and tag them so you can search them later; you can log your fitness goals and create snippets to use it on daily picture-notes. The applications are limitless! Beginning to use the app may present you with a blank canvas. Fill it by creating folders that will organize your notes into separate and special memories of your life. Anyone can create and view their notes in 30 seconds: 1. Click or swipe the "+" icon to add a new note. 2. Fill in the details and add them to your desired folder, then press "Save Picture-Note". 3.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NoteIt at Free against RAW Cam's $11.99. NoteIt also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). RAW Cam's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
