Note+ originally caught our attention because the app faithfully follows Microsoft's recommended design and implementation guidelines. Adding SkyDrive backup to the mix reinforces the impression that this is the third party note taking app that ties in most closely with the Windows Phone ecosystem and associated services.
As we've previsouly noted Note+ fulfils a particular niche:
Note+ can be seen as an alternative to Windows Phone built in OneNote app, but while it is in the same broad app category, it's really serving a different audience. If you're the sort of person who keep numerous small text notes scattered around the place, then Note+ maybe the ideal app for you. It may not have the complexity of other note taking apps, but it does have a gentle learning curve, and is a very close digital analog to the post-it-note approach to keeping track of things.
