so we're going to check out flomo today it's a minimal note-taking application with handy ways
to record and capture stuff this is my first product review for a while so let's dive into
today's video so to start out this application is pretty notable because
it won the product hunt golden kitty award 2021 for mobile applications and obviously
it's got an ios a google play a mac a pwa version and a web version in which we have in front of us
here so this application is designed around the zettel casting method something that i'm not too
versed in but i'm going to give you an overview of how it operates and works and really recommend
near the end of this video how and where this is suitable for so flomo is a combination of flow and
memo they're trying to combine the two words so just to give you a little bit of background about
the navy so here on the web version you can see that uh my account has a simple note-taking system
where i can start typing my notes away and here's one i created earlier now naturally i can start
creating tanks for it i can start adding images to it i can use even on ios the live text function
to be able to say stuff to it and it's even got some annotation as well which allows you to create
relationships between certain links but um as you can imagine it's a very basic in terms of its
note-taking abilities even on the ios and google play store versions they're very much designed to
record and move on as you take your notes across today and nothing too in-depth in terms of more
file orientated notes that you may be having so as you can see your account is called memo
and the synchronizations works across all of the accounts and naturally that's something i found
pretty decent when i signed into the ios version everything synced pretty rapidly between the two
now as i said you can organize stuff through simple tanks and you can also create a sub
tag structure too which might be handy when it comes to managing through the zettocastin method
you can also do something called well connecting wechat you scan the qr code and
follow the flomo account and essentially every message that you send to the official account
can be synced there which is something we've seen in more modern applications
like mem allowing you to save texts and ideas that come across a day into your note application
pretty fast now one thing i'd say is the special functionality probably has to be this heat map
it's something i've also seen in applications like super supernotes but it does and looks really nice
especially if you're going to use this as your daily note-taker the heat map allows you to see
how many memos you created specifically on one day and to be honest i really like this function and
it's something i'd love to see in more note-taking applications now jumping over to the ios version
now in my opinion it's a really well created application and i like that integration of live
live text inside of there i also like the little plus button at the bottom which allows you to take
a very simple note just using that quick capture function and to be honest if you're somebody
uses wechat a lot i could probably see this integration working pretty well on mobile
devices i'm currently using their pro account in which i want to explain the pricing a bit
more so their pro account um is 90.99 and as you can imagine it's much more for better
and more frequent notetakers they actually add inside of this uh 10 gigabytes of image storage
and the ability to upload original image sizes then you also get the wechat input via voice which
is good for capturing audio on the go and also the likes of daily review a backlink ability tag icon
and api and apparently they've already had people build the api for being able to send stuff from
kindle and notion a science that you pretty much get unlimited abilities in terms of text records
and data export and some of the basic wechat stuff too which you can find in the free plan
so looking at this application i probably say it's best for those who want something that's upgraded
from google keep but follows a methodology like zettocastin to be honest i was impressed with
features like the heap map and of course so the wechat function because if you were using that
quite a lot i think that would be handy but i'm actually sort of a bit of an anti-climax from some
of the original images though mobile application works well and that is great to see but i'm not
greatly impressed with some of the tax formatting abilities that you can have on this application
but then again it is a minimal experience so at the same time it's not trying to do as much as
some of the bigger applications to be honest the pricing isn't too bad twenty dollars a year is
just a little over what they price bear but at the same time it's not something grossly overpriced
and as you can imagine something that would put you entirely off upgrading to the pro account so
this application does look interesting and i think it's also grabbed a large target market in china
um i will put the information down description below if you fancy checking it out but i'll
probably give this application a c rating as you can imagine a star a b c and uh d is our sort of
ranking system so i wouldn't necessarily rank it amazingly as a daily note taker um compared to
some of the other alternatives out there anyway folks i hope you enjoyed this feature of flomo
i you might not get fomo from you missing this one but at the same time i hope it gave a good
overview of the product thank you very much folks and i hope you have a fantastic day cheers folks
you
