Corky Notes for BlackBerry 10 - oozing with new and improved features

Corky Notes for BlackBerry 10 has been around since July 2013 and it's just had quite a major overall bringing it to version 3.0.1. We've posted recently about a few other note taking apps but this one still remains a firm favorite of mine since I first reviewed it.

Quite simply - Corky Notes is a post-it style note taking app but one with a twist. It's free too which always goes down well - although there is a pro edition for a few more features.

With a double tap on the screen you can create a note and you get a choice of colors to choose from (the default is changeable) as well as a date when the task is due by. Sharing is included - just drag the note to the bottom left and your BlackBerry Hub will open with all your sharing options - perfect.

As you'll see below the list is quite extensive so another fine job by a dedicated BlackBerry 10 developer.
