Catch (version 3.11) is a free mobile note-taking app for iOS and Android devices along the same lines as Evernote (for iPhone) (4 stars, free or $45 per year for Premium). Catch lets you type text, record audio, and snap photos of anything you want to remember and annotate these files with tags, making it easy to find them later by searching or sorting by tags you've implemented. Catch is uncomplicated, coherent, and straightforward, and as a result, fairly uninspiring. With almost no visual fanfare, Catch makes note-taking feel like an industrious if somber task.
Catch takes minimalism very seriously (too seriously). Paired down settings and options keep the app clean and clutter-free, but also strip away the playfulness and creativity that more vibrant apps evoke. Far-flung in the other direction is Awesome Note (+Todo) (for iPhone) (4 stars, $3.99), an attractive and joyful app, with the ability to color-code notes and folders, and a calendar that helps more visually-oriented people stay organized.

Catch's main competitor, Evernote, has faced criticism from some users for feature bloat (although we at PCMag disagree, finding Evernote's options and customization helpful and quite restrained). Nevertheless, I can see the logic behind designing Catch to be even more reserved. Like Evernote, the app itself and a basic Catch account are free, but users can pay $5 per month or $45 per year to upgrade to a Pro account for a few extra perks. At this point in time, if you're going to use Catch on the iPhone, stick to the free account, as the perks are minimal.

Set Up and Sign In
Catch is a very simple app, and getting set up with it is equally uncomplicated. After downloading the free app and launching it, new users have three choices for registering an account: 1) provide an e-mail address or username and password, 2) log in using your Google ID, or 3) log in using your Facebook account. The only real benefit of using your Google or Facebook account to log in is that it removes a step or two from the registration process. You'll see other areas of Catch where this one-step method is used to try and streamline user actions. It's all part of Catch's vision of a shipshape world.
Once you're set up, Catch creates a dummy note with information about how to create notes, organize them, and synch access them through the Catch.com web portal. It's also nice to see this dummy note appear where one would otherwise face a dauntingly blank canvas.

Features and Use
Much like Evernote, Catch supports notes as text, audio, and image files. From most any screen, you can create a new note by tapping the plus sign in the upper right corner. A blank note appears with four icons overlaid:
Below the strip of icons, the typical iPhone keyboard is displayed so that you can free write, too.
After you've created a few notes, you'll realize that Catch is a folder-less system. Notes get grouped and sorted by hash tag instead. According to Catch.com, the idea was to create a Twitter-esque experience. Rather than make disorganized people feel their failings even more acutely by asking them to arrange their notes into a resourceful folder system, people can quickly jot down whatever keywords that come to mind and throw a # in front of them. Organization done.
When you look at a tag stream in Catch, you can see at a glance what the note contains, whether text, images, and audio files. Open the note, and whatever tags have been included are hyperlinked so that you can quickly find other notes with the same tag by simply tapping it.
