BlackBerry Hub+ Notes

What BlackBerry Hub+ Notes is for

BlackBerry Hub+ Notes is a notes app for lists and short working notes. The listing gives examples such as to-do lists, a bucket list, notes for a presentation, action items from a meeting, gift ideas and a weekly shopping list. It also offers syncing with an Outlook.com email account, and it supports deployment through Android Enterprise for organizations that manage their own devices.

It suits people who keep several kinds of list in one notes app and want those notes to stay linked to an Outlook.com account.

Writing and formatting lists in notes

The rich text editor lets you format text and build lists with bullet points, numbered bullets and check boxes. Check boxes suit to-do and shopping lists where items get ticked off, while numbered bullets suit ordered steps or action items from a meeting.

Syncing notes with Outlook.com email

The app syncs notes with email providers such as Outlook.com, which the listing says works over Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync 14.1 or later. This is the feature to look at if your notes need to match an Outlook.com account.

Sorting notes with tags and a dark theme

You can add custom tags to group notes into categories, so a shopping list and a set of gift ideas can sit under different tags. An optional dark theme changes the look of the app, which the listing describes as a fresh look and feel.

Work and personal notes on Android Enterprise

The app supports Android Enterprise deployment. When an administrator allows it, personal and work notes can be combined in the same app while keeping strict data storage separation.

The app requires the BlackBerry Hub+ Services app, which the listing says provides a consistent experience across BlackBerry applications and manages subscriptions. On BlackBerry devices the notes are free. On other devices the listing describes 30 days of full functionality, then a monthly subscription, which also gives access to Calendar, Contacts, Inbox, Tasks and Launcher.
