Milanote is an online note-taking service. Working directly in a browser, notes are saved, edited and shared with a team all having instant access to the same information in real time to aid collaboration.

Note-taking on the cloud

Thanks to the instant communal access available, Milanote is best focused primarily on group projects. Compared to similar note-taking apps like Evernote, this application has some immediate obvious drawbacks. Notes are only in text or image format, lacking the handwriting and drawing options common to others. The primary selling-point is the real-time editing options, making it perfect for group research. Choosing who has access is as easy as typing in their e-mail and the social connectivity elements function simply but effectively. The service is available as a free or premium option, with lower prices than other similar options.

One of many

Milanote is a decent option for a cloud-based note-taking service which lacks the more robust functions of its competitors. As it is still a fairly recent offering, this may improve in time. Thanks to a low price point and an impressive real-time saving function, Milanote has some aspects which may win some converts but with the marketplace for similar services so crowded, it lacks enough distinction to really stand out.
