Notes app, sync availability offline, details inside

[deltaforce]

Hello folks,

There are few threads on app taking and I went through them but it did not answer my specific requirement. My requirements are as follows

- Windows client on desktop
- Ability to sync with Android device, of course.
- The sync is available offline, MOST IMPORTANT as we are no data family.
- Barebones is enough. I don't need any bells and whistles.
- 2 - way sync
- Preferably free.
- BONUS feature - Syncs with google docs.

Evernote fits the bill (except GSync) but due to its sync data limitation for free version, I am not interested in Evernote.

I looked at Simplenote and there are a few clients for windows but I did not try any of them. From the features, it mentions on the website, I feel like it fits the bill, except google docs syncing. FlickNotes on Android end and RosephNotes on PC end should do the job with simplenote. What I am not too sure about is, if it indeed fulfills my requirement. I am making this thread to request any current user of this setup to comment if it really works as I want it to work.

Sprinpad is another option but again I am not too sure if the notes are available offline.

Many thanks in advance.

If you are using a Samsung device, you can use Kies to sync your notes on the S-Memo pr Memo app to Outlook Notes. Not sure but I think MyPhoneExplorer also does this if you are using a non-Samsung device.

Thanks for the idea but I have HTC One X and Motorola Razr Droid XT910.

MyPhoneExplorer works for Motorola, HTC has something called HTCSync.

I think you MIGHT be interested in OneNote from Microsoft. It is free. No bandwidth limits. I think you can sync it only when on wifi. You will need a windows account as the notes sync with Microsoft SkyDrive. It of course has a Windows client (that is slow) and you can get the OneNote in the Play store.

I don't know about syncing with google docs as I only used it briefly as I switched soon thereafter to Evernote.

drawbacks: 500 note limit for the free edition. slow web client. proprietary file formats (so if you take a photo with the app, you can't pull the photo out of the software).
