The Shiny and New Evernote for Windows Mobile

November 24, 2008 | Posted by Andrew Sinkov in Product updates
 

Today, we unveiled the new Evernote for Windows Mobile (version 3.0.0.172). We’ve added new features, new views, and more options, all designed to make Evernote for Windows Mobile faster and easier to use.

For those unfamiliar with Evernote for Windows Mobile, this version lets you create text, ink, snapshot, and audio notes, as well as attach supported files, such as PDFs. It also allows you to quickly and easily browse and search through all the notes in your Evernote account.

Browser begone

Evernote for Windows Mobile is now a full client, which means that the browser no longer launches when searching, viewing, or editing notes. Everything now happens right inside the application, making the user experience significantly snappier.

Views, views, and more views

When browsing your notes and search results, you now have three view options: Thumbnails, Details, and List. Thumbnail view shows a small thumbnail of the note alongside the title and tags (see image above); Details shows the title, tags, and creation date; and List shows only shows the title.

You can now tailor your view to match the speed of your network connection. Speedy connections can go with Thumbnails, while slower connections can choose Details or (the lightening fast) List view. It’s up to you.

And more…

In addition, we made accessing Saved Searches much easier, and we simplified the interface to make it more user friendly. You can also choose whether you want Evernote to upload new notes over a cellular connection, or only via WiFi –great for those watching their cellular bandwidth usage. All that, on top of tons of fixes, tweaks, and enhancements.

Do I have a Windows Mobile phone?

We’ve noticed that a lot of people have Windows Mobile phones, but don’t know it. Visit the Microsoft Windows Mobile site to find out.

    Nice app… but you lost me with the “The network connection couldn’t be established”-bug (I also have a HTC with WM6). When you fix it, I might reconsider… until then Evernote is just waste of space.

    Another vote for offline note-taking. Even stronger… I quote from your own blog:
    “Evernote for Windows Mobile is now a full client, which means that the browser no longer launches when searching, viewing, or editing notes. Everything now happens right inside the application, making the user experience significantly snappier.”
    Sorry but it doesn’t work that way; I ALWAYS have to log on to the internet when I open the appliation or when I finish a new note and I am just not that rich.
    Please solve this problem. Without this, the app is useless.

    I’d spring for the Premium if you’d port this to Blackberry. You’re missing a huge market by not having a BB version.

    Hi.
    I have a HTC TYTN with windows mobile 6.
    When I try to view a note containing a pdf, it will not work on the TYTN. Can just see a pdf icon in the note. ClearVue PDF installed and it sucks bigtime. Anyone with a solution on this. Any other PDF viewers that might work on Windows Mobile 6 ?

    This new version is awesome!

    One thing, every time I take a snapshot on my tilt, it ends up getting compressed beyond readability. I set the camera resolution to 1280×1024 and settings to super fine, but it’s still the same. :-\

    Still, this new version is the best note software for WM yet!

    Hi,

    Love it,

    but…

    another vote for offline notes (does anybody use the imap possibility, I get 100 notes only, not my full 250 or so??)

    grtz,

    Tom

    There is an echo here that is being ignored. “Blackberry” “Blackberry Please” Has it occurred to you that people who would make use of Evernote would also lean toward the BB platform? Some crumbs regarding its interface development would be appreciated.

    Need offline options — an ESSENTIAL feature for the mobile client — I need to be able to control the amount downloaded, where the download goes (my very limited main mem or storage card); see the offline content stored locally, create notes offline then upload when wifi connected. So far I’m using Evernote’s IMAP email option to download and hold my notes, but it’s clunky beyond belief and the PDF screen captures are usually too tiny to read on my HTC TYTN screen. Add the features above to a nice, nimble client, and it would be purr-fect.

    HEY EVERYONE!
    Download the newest update, it allows you to create notes offline! and lets you stay logged in even after restart. 12/12/08

    I’d love to see a future release of Evernote whereby you could create a note where you could mix text, ink, photos and audio all in the same note.

    To me this would make EverNote an unbeatable killer app!

    The recent update to be able to work offline with my PPC is a great addition and it works well.

    Hello Evernote!

    Your app is really a great one. Definitely one the most useful that I have on my PC. I use it on a daily basis.

    Unfortunately I am really disappointed by the windows mobile porting.

    For one reason : The lack of offline access to data!

    I really hope that you’ll include this feature soon, it will make a huge impact on how I use your product!

    Cheers,
    Corentin

    Great. Now if we could just get rid of the “Network connection could not be established” annoyance so it could actually be *used* on a mobile platform, everything would be even greater. Until then, there is just no point, sorry.

    Please make a version for e71 soon. Thx

    I seem to be having the same problem as a few of the bloggers. I am using the 3G network and I am currently awsy from my computer and on the mobile, and cannot access your FAQ section to find if the network connection problem has been fixed. Could you please advise if, and, when I may be able to use Evernote again. Cheers, Jim

    It works wonderfully on my HTC Touch Diamond however, it would be even better to have an option to store downloaded notes locally so that I could use it without an Internet connection just like the desktop version.

    To echo some of the comments above, I too often want to use EverNote when I don’t have a mobile signal (e.g. on the tube/underground).

    Unfortunately the “Network connection could not be established” message makes it unusable.

    I look forward to this being fixed.

    I just want to reinforce the groundswell of support for a BlackBerry client. I have hooked about 20 people at my office on EverNote, and they agree this would be an end-all killer app if you had a BlackBerry mobile version.

    Brilliant product – I’ve had it a week and use it every day already – excellent way to bridge your business and personal life. Most of the planet uses Symbian or Blackberry – we need suport for this as well before a competitor comes along and moves all your customers to them. happy to help if needed…

    SYMBIAN PLEASE ;-)

    I like Evernote, particularly for the tag functionality. But the inability to access notes offline in the Windows Mobile version means that I won’t use it as my note-taking application quite yet. I’ll wait for offline use.
