I’d like to second Fred Stefanowicz.

Creating to-do-lists on the fly is really important so it would be great to see this function on the i-phone app. Cheers

Quick followup to my previous post.

I don’t know if this is currently in place, but I really would like the ability to encrypt notes transmitted from the iphone.

First and foremost, GREAT APP. Thank you for all of the hard work you guys have already put in. This is by far the best note app to date on the iPhone. That said, below are a few things I think would even further enhance the application:

1) Another vote for offline storage/editing/creation
2) Email Notes (as attachments)
3) A Pause button for audio recording.
4) Improved text recognition. I try to use it a often, but it’s just not there yet.
5) Speech recognition for voicenotes.
6) To-Do lists

Overall, this is a GREAT application. With the addition of the features above, I don’t see why anyone would want another note application for the iphone. That said, I would like to see some additional features built into the Mac client for evernote, but that’s beyond the scope of this article.

Thanks again for the excellent application.

Local note storage is a must - I have an iPod Touch, and currently I can’t access my notes unless I’m on WiFi. Your program is totally worth paying for with local storage, really not worth having on my device at all without it. For me (and hell, this *is* all about me) Evernote does what Notes on the Touch *should* do - sync notes between my Touch and the rest of my machines. But without local storage, I’m can only access the information when I have WiFi - which means I’m at work or home…which means I can use the machines that have the information on them in the first place to get the information, instead of looking at it on a tiny screen.

That said, I’m willing to bet $100 Apple is preventing Evernote from having local storage because that would “duplicate the functionality of the Notes feature,” (although it doesn’t). I’m willing to bet another $100 that Evernote isn’t even allowed to say that because the developer agreement prevents them from explaining to all of us that Apple is jerking them around.

I love my iPod Touch, but I loathe Apple.

One more vote for offline access! and this iPhone note taking application will be absolutely perfect.
You don’t always get reception/wifi/etc plus maybe will want to work with notes on the airplane or abroad…
Have notes cashed/pre-loaded into the internal memory will make it perfect.
As an example - before going abroad i places all the places i want to visit into Evernote… and did not get roaming data (was not supported) - all the notes got locked on your servers and I had to run around to look for internet cafe…

And yet another vote for offline access. To me the very point of creating these notes (as opposed to surfing the web for them or accessing one’s email account) is to be able to access them when out of range or roaming.

Would be nice to hear something back from Evernote on this (such as “we’re working on it”, “never” or “in version X”).

Is there a way to add a “to-do” checkbox directly from the iPhone? I know how to do it from the desktop, but can’t find the functionality in the iPhone App. Thenks

Evernote for the iPhone is a great start but it won’t be complete until you add offline/ local storage. I need to be able to access my notes even if I don’t have network access. Thanks for making great software.

Really looking for offline storage to download notes from the cloud. I had difficulty to access online note when I was in the overseas. It would need me to roam my cellular data which I prefer not to.

Rich note editor and to do list with check box will be a great feature to add…

great job guys..
