VoodooPad Pro is one of those apps that takes a while to grow on you. When you open up a new document for the first time, VoodooPad looks kind of like a TextEdit window—in other words, plain and devoid of excess features. But if you’re the kind of person who needs to capture information and ideas as they happen, before they disappear into the ether—writers, students, compulsive list-makers, listen up—VoodooPad quickly becomes a valuable tool for recording all the awesome band names, Wi-Fi passwords, haiku, class notes, important telephone numbers, and ideas for your novel that pass between your ears every day.

The key is that they’re not afraid of the staunch criticism, and often outright derision, that comes with breaking conventions. Tweet
