Last year, I reviewed JotAgent, a quick and easy way to save notes in your Dropbox account with a few taps. JotAgent 2, released earlier this week, improves on every aspect of the original app, adding support for Evernote and a refreshed user interface both on the iPhone and iPad. Just like the first JotAgent, you can configure the app to save text notes in your Dropbox account (you can pick your own folder for notes); in this version, you can also log in with your Evernote credentials, and select a notebook where new notes will be saved. If you configure both Dropbox and Evernote, you can easily de-activate one of the two services in JotAgent’s main screen, which has got service, settings, and queue icons in the lower section.
As soon as the app launches, you can begin writing. When you’re done with a text note, you can hit Save to send it to Dropbox or Evernote – the saving process will require a few seconds depending on your Internet connection. If you’re offline, JotAgent allows you to queue notes for later, and upload them when you’re back online. Two interesting features of JotAgent are TextExpander support for snippets and title formatting: the latter lets you change the default template for your notes’ titles, and you can choose between a nice selection of modifiers available on JotAgent’s website. Thanks to these modifiers, I’ve been able to customize the way notes are saved in my Evernote account to show only the month and day of creation.
JotAgent 2.0 doesn’t want to be a full-featured text editor as its focus is completely different. It’s a lightweight app to quickly send a note or idea to the cloud – as I wrote last year, it’s like Captio for text notes. You can get JotAgent 2.0 now at $0.99 on the App Store, or jump after the break to enter our giveaway.
