Mobile app proves worthy companion to ShoveBox desktop app

by John Fuller, Macworld.com

There seems to be a flood of content-management applications for the Mac, one of which is ShoveBox. Up until recently, this content—text, images, URLs—has had to stay localized on one computer. But ShoveBox maker Wonder Warp has come out with an iPhone app that lets you collect, organize, and edit data when you’re out and about, syncing that data with your Mac.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

ShoveBox is awesome

I have been in love with ShoveBox on my mac for a while now. I was psyched when the iPhone app came out. I just really wish it had over the air sync. I dont even want an online interface, I just want a behind the scenes web sync of my stuff. if they add that, 5 stars baby!

Fabulously functional

This app offers a lot of functionality, and content can be added from your workflow easily and efficiently. I have been using both ShoveBox and Evernote quite heavily for some time, and I have yet to be able to make a decision on eliminating one of them. Their features are similar, but the differences (cloud syncing vs WiFi syncing, to name one) keep the debate in my head raging. I've been disappointed when my iPhone is out of range and I bring up Evernote, only to find my data unretrievable from the cloud. ShoveBox syncs via WiFi (meaning you need to be back on your LAN), but the data is stored on your phone. ShoveBox also maintains text formatting, whereas Evernote does not. Oh, and ShoveBox organizes by folders. Evernote organizes by tags.
