L. Williams and Majestic Unicorn have a great topic for us to discuss: What is your favorite horse or horse related app for the iPhone or Android device?
I have an Android device, but my favorite app is available for either operating system. It's Evernote. It's not a horse-related app, per se, but for the last few months, I've been using it to maintain the horses' records.
Not only does Evernote offer mobile apps, it's also available as a desktop app for Windows and Mac as well as available on the web. Notes are synced across platforms, so I can access them from my phone, my Chromebook, or my desktop computer.

Evernote also has this nifty thing called the web clipper, which is a browser extension from which you can "clip" or save things to your notes. I've clipped articles from Practical Horseman, diagrams from fellow bloggers, and PDFs of show schedules.

I haven't been the best about keeping everything totally up to date, but I'm happy with how the app has worked for me thus far. I think with some practice on my part to form a habit, I'll be mostly-paperless when it comes to equine records!
Evernote is free- it has a premium option that includes more sharing options, more upload space, and a few other extra features. If you're interested, you can try the premium version free for a month. I use the free version, though, and it works just fine for me!

OMG. I downloaded Evernote and tried to use it for a day. I'm just not good at taking notes. I like your simplicity in your note taking - I might have to try that! I keep a file on Google Drive for all of Archie's medical history and stuff, which is accessible by my phone, too. Gah, stop being such a good horse owner!
Sounds fab, might have to give it a whirl
