————
iOS update 4.0 of Braintoss releases new functions to improve capturing your thoughts.
If you are in another app on your phone and you run into something interesting or a reminder for a task you can then use the share function (the square box with an arrow going up) to share that item with Braintoss and it will be sent to your inbox without leaving the other app.
You can also start Braintoss in the same mode every time you open it. We noticed many users have a favourite mode they use most of the time (note or speech). This eliminates one more click (and every click less is a great improvement in our opinion :)
Are you capturing a document? Simply tap the document icon at the top left of the image capture and we will try apply image-to-text for that receipt or note. You will then receive the text in your email both as text and as a PDF attachment. This also helps searching for the note at a later time. Is the document a business card, then use the vCARD button to receive a digital business card with the email.
And much worth mentioning, the server side settings can change the format of the email you receive. This may help when sending your braintosses to systems like ToDo managers or accounting tools. To receive an instruction and a list of commands simply send a text note with the word Settings to yourself.
We hope you enjoy the new features look forward to hearing your suggestions how we can further improve Braintoss.
Happy Braintossing ;-)

Great idea, flawed execution

It would be super useful if the microphone would accurately pick up what you say. I have a string of emails with gibberish as subjects. Almost as quickly as using this app, I can open an email and send it to myself talking through my iPhone mic.

Best App....period!

Love this app. I've made it mandatory for all my direct reports to use it -- they love it. So simplistic but so useful.

I use it all day, every day!

I don't know how I lived without this app before! I read about it last week in the Guardian (google Guardian Braintoss, the article is called "How to Get Stuff Done (And Maybe Change the World Too.) Basically the point of the article is that you should put your to do items in your email inbox, which is already most people's dashboard for getting things done.
I actually use Evernote as my main to do list, but frequently email myself while on the go with things to add to my Evernote list. Also, sometimes things are more immediate (such as an errand I need to run while out and about) for my Evernote list. Anyway, whether you already email to do items to yourself or want to start that habit, Brain Toss is perfect! I literally have used it every day, many times per day, since downloading it less than a week ago.
Another great thing for those of us who email ourselves - no need to worry about being tired and accidentally emailing our to-do item to another contact, something I've done multiple times!
Also, as a writer, I find braintoss perfect for those little ideas that come to me throughout the day. I think it's great for creative people.
Requested feature: I would absolutely go insane with happiness if a voice-to-text feature was added! (You can do voice now, but it arrives as a voice message.)
Anyway, A+ app. I cannot live without it!

Can't live without

I absolutely love it app. Works flawlessly. Love that I can sit on a plane without wifi and jot down tons of audio and text notes and they are all delivered when connection available.

No Glances/Complication?

What's the point of having it on your watch if you can't have it as a complication or at least in glances for quick access. Ideas come quickly and it would be nice to be able to record them quickly. Otherwise, this is just another note-taking app. Nothing special.

Quickly Capture Important Stuff

Quickly captures text, voice, or photos to a default email address or other email addresses that you can specify in a list.
Perks: Voice messages are transcribed. You get the text of the voice message and the voice message itself. To counter the request for immediate transcription I might note, this is a quick entry app and transcription occurs off-line, which means, the voice has to be sent out and the text sent back. It is the same idea that Siri does not work without an internet. Also, emails have the location where the text, voice message, or photo was captured.
Bug: May not work to send voice or photo messages to the primary (default) email address. It will however send voice or photo messages to that same email address when it is selected as a second email address.
—> Update 12/30/15: Resolved the problem sending to primary email address. It works now. Be careful not to make mistakes in this address!
Annoyances: Display of long email fields is cut off and editing is cumbersome. The yellow background is either cute or glaring depending on your mood (which argues for a user preference setting).

Best Capture App. A GTD Essential

Absolute best capture app available. If you cultivate the habit of capturing thoughts as soon as you have them, this is the app for you. Works great with Evernote and Omnifocus.

Perfect

Incredibly useful app. Incredibly simple to use. Incredibly reliable. I LOVE THIS APP. If you are a GTDer, this thing is perfect.

I love this app!

Works great. I send task ideas and anything I need to process right to my task manager (via email). Speak slowly and the voice to text works - not perfect but good enough. One tap turns on record, the second tap sends it along.

Good start but clunky

This app has a really good idea. I'm writing this review in hopes that the developer will read it and make it better. It needs at least two things. First, for the dictation mode, the app should show the text that the application understands so that you know if you're sending sense or not. Second, there's way too much boilerplate attached to each email. Needs to send a very simple, no fooling around text message with no signature. Also would be nice if it had some kind of customizable subject line for sorting in your email program. An app that blends the simplicity of this program (brain toss) with the elegance of Captio would be perfect!

Braintoss is a fantastic tool.

This app is awesome. I use it for capturing thoughts quickly on the go. It is a much more reliable ubiquitous capture tool than Siri. I use it with my OmniFocus Mail Drop email address, and everything goes straight to my OmniFocus In Box. It even has a proximity sensor so when I'm driving I can capture thoughts without even looking at the phone. I just put the phone up to my ear and start talking.

Awesome app

Braintoss is an amazing app it is in my dock because I use it all the time.
I use it in combination with my OmniFocus email address to send myself tasks faster than I can do with the OmniFocus app.
You only need to set the email address once and Braintoss will do the rest for you. It even transcribes audio.

Fantosstic

Very useful little app! I love that it directly sends stuff to my inbox; that functionality makes this one a keeper. Also: Kudos for the clean and inviting design. A couple of requests:
1. Camera: please give it a little more functionality. It has zoom, which is nice, but I'd also really like flash and front cam.
2. Please change the audio output format to mp3. The problem with wav is that I can't directly listen to it in gmail, I have to download it first.
