Now that Google Keep is out, it seems like Evernote has received some prominence. The difference between the two is total. While Google Keep represents simplicity, Evernote It is quite the opposite (and that is what we meant when we spoke yesterday about Evernote of Death). It is a complete universe, where everything is based on taking notes. Let's see exactly what applications it has.
Our fellow Tablet Zone have created this useful guide that allows us to know each of the applications in the Evernote universe, as well as their usefulness.

The Evernote App Universe: An Updated Guide
Evernote
Evernote is the main application. It started as an app for taking text notes, which could include links. However, now they can also include photos, audio files, or even any other type of attachment. We can geotag each note to know where it was taken, something quite useful in this mobile age. We have notebooks to organize all the notes, although we can also tag them to categorize them in different ways. Evernote is available for all mobile operating systems, including Windows Phone, Windows 8, and BlackBerry, in addition to the most popular ones. Today, it also adds Tasks, Home, and Advanced Search, with automatic synchronization between devices.
Food
If we take Evernote and turn it into a recipe book, we get Food, an app whose purpose is to allow us to have our own classified recipe book, and then perform searches to find recipes we've previously saved. What's more, when we're at a restaurant, we can take note of a specific recipe and geolocate it within the restaurant using Foursquare. This app is available for Android and iOS. Currently, the recipe book can be managed in Evernote with notes, labels and templates, maintaining the same idea of ​​organization.
Hello
The Hello app is ideal for anyone attending events who doesn't want to go home with thirty contact cards that end up lost or damaged. Hello is a contact book that allows us to keep a record of all our contacts and even link them to their social media profiles. When someone gives us a contact card, we just have to take a photo of it with Hello, and the data will be automatically saved thanks to text recognition. We can also keep a history of meetings with that contact, so we know when we last saw them. It is available on both Android and iOS. In current practice, the card scanning and contacts is resolved within Evernote with its scanner and text recognition.
Skitch
This application was not originally created by Evernote, but they acquired it after the success it had upon its launch for Mac OS X computers. Basically, it allows us to draw on a whiteboard or on any photograph. It allows us to draw diagrams very quickly and we can save the drawings in our Evernote folder in the Cloud. Currently, the annotating images and PDFs is integrated into Evernote and Skitch availability may vary by platform.
Peek
This app doesn't matter much to Android users, as it's designed for the iPad and the Smart Cover, and has an educational purpose. Basically, it allows us to create a topic-based quiz. We create a note whose title is the question and whose text contains the answer. With the Smart Cover, we can display only the question, or the answer as well. Even those who don't have the cover can do this thanks to a virtual cover included in the app. But, as we've said, it's not available for Android. Today, that concept can be recreated with notes and templates in Evernote.
Penultimate
This is another one that Evernote acquired exclusively for the iPad. It allows you to take notes freehand or with a stylus. Basically, it aims to be a note-taking blog, allowing you to store notes in Evernote. Ideal for all those users who hate the keyboard. However, it is not available for Android. Its evolution is based on the synchronization with Evernote and in handwriting functions.
