Hello everyone and welcome back to the keep productive YouTube channel it is
Francesco here and welcome back to another quick review
We're going to be diving into B notes
Which is more a business note taking application in the today's feature
We're hopefully going to give you an idea of how it works and how it functions
Now the single premise of the application is to be a new note-taking experience and there are a few note-taking apps that are popping up
Like unit in an even notion to some extent the note-taking space is definitely becoming much more
Attractive for the sort of you know new user or or viewer that's been using Evernote for a while now this application
really focuses on more the business experience so it has
workspaces team channels and notes and tags
And I actually first found it because it was trending in the App Store
I think it was like in new apps
We loved by Apple and I saw a couple times on Twitter as well
And I thought maybe it would good opportunity to give it a review now
They have a web version and an iOS version
The application is free for one workspace and one workspace includes unlimited notes and storage
But if you're looking for additional workspaces, I believe it's $12, but we'll get into pricing a bit near at the end
So let's go ahead and halt the experience now. I have an account
I haven't set up fully but I've
Been playing around with it a little bit sort of giving it a bit of a run for its money to some extent
Now this is what you land on when you get the web version. Now, what I would say is the iOS version is very similar
And the experience is basically designed around a workspace
So here we have a notebook inside of our workspace
Up here is our workspace and you can go ahead and create a new workspace here
Although obviously an additional workspace will cost you but you can go ahead and create what's called channels
So a bit like slack, you can create a channel along the side say for example, you can have a general
Channel, you could have a marketing channel. This is really for and
Businesses or professionals that want to be able to consolidate their note
into a slack like wiki application so this application
Essentially tries to be a team wiki tool a bit like apps like notion and slab
And there's a couple of more like tetra these team wiki's becoming more popular
But this really is more of a notetaking application
I would say it looks and feels more like a note-taking app, but has these structural abilities of the team wiki?
So for example, if I go ahead and create the channel, obviously I can give it a name in this case
I could say marketing and I could send out invites to the people that obviously I
Need to connect it to but if I want to open just go ahead and press create now inside of this new marketing
Channel, you can obviously move the channel rename it and manage the members that are inside it
But you can go ahead and start creating notes. So for example, you could say best practices
for blog posts and
Then you can give it the tag right up here. So for example you wanted to associate it to your blog
The works that you're doing with your blog then you can tag it up there now
It's got all of this sort of text formatting that you would see inside of a amp like Evernote like the ability to change fonts
Change between headings bold, you know, I even bullets
ability stuff and a number actually then have a numbered list and they will even have link but they don't actually have features like
Tables or other abilities like that?
It's very much plain text formatting so you can go ahead and press save on your note
And as you can see here, it's got a bit of a timestamp on when you actually created it
You can also start beginning to discuss it in this right-hand side
So as soon as you start, you know
Commenting and sharing you can obviously share files and information that people need to know about that specific note
Which is quite helpful, you can even bin it or publish it to a specific channel for example of you
I wanted to move that to general I could do so quite easily and change the notes permissions
Which is really good so I can go ahead and edit it anytime I want obviously
But if I go over to here, I can switch between channels and search and as you can imagine guys
That's literally the majority of the experience. Now, of course, this will look a lot stronger
In terms of actually it being filled up and stuff like that, but you've got the ability to filter between tags
as you're searching and also by sort by now the real sort of magic that they state is that they have some sort of
Artificial artificial intelligence but a business insight so I probably will be doing a separate feature on this
But this essentially gives you business metrics pulling from applications like Google
Analytics and Facebook and it's priced slightly differently
So they want this to or must be not just your note taker but your dashboard or your hub to see pricing
Now if I go into the notebook
Obviously I can switch between these two and if I want to go ahead and create a new note
It's up here and over here if I want to see the billing or my profile I can do
So now the application what I would say at the moment is it's very simplistic this application
When I first initially reviewed it and went over it. I was actually a bit shocked there wasn't more
Available availability in terms of features and what I would say is it's very much early days
So let's just touch on the pricing so you can find pricing just by scrolling down
and running be obviously the individual pricing if you have a personal email and you set it up it's free and as I mentioned includes
one work space unlimited notes and the cloud storage around it obviously, but if you want additional workspaces
It's gonna be $12 per month, which is I would say a little bit pricey
But that's just my opinion
I'd say maybe like $5 would pretty much
You know be suitable if I wanted a company set up with a company email address
So if you're going in would like G suite account, you're gonna be paying $12 per month from the offset
So you only can obviously I would try with the personal email first and get it, you know set up
But if you go in without obviously you're allowed unlimited users
for a workspace
so obviously that's a bit of the bonus but still twelve dollars is quite a lot for a
fairly slim down notetaking application and if you want that business intelligent, which means you can
Bring in the business metrics and analytics and Facebook. That's gonna cost you 25 bucks extra a month
So that's again a little bit pricey
But guys this I would say is more suitable for those who are looking for a lightweight
notetaking application that they want to use
strictly
For sort of team notes and start to channels, but I would definitely probably look at other team wikis first
And I don't normally say this but this application is still early days and I don't necessarily recommend it out, right?
Now it does what I would say is the iOS edition is slightly more fine tuning this
But still it does still lack some of those, you know punchy features. That might get you going
Anyway, guys, I will see you guys in a future video
