Evernote for BlackBerry, you say?
The, much (read: MUCH) requested, native Evernote for BlackBerry is now available. Yes, it’s true. BlackBerry® owners, you now get a slick app to create new notes and search through all of your existing Evernote content.
We’re very excited about this release because, like a BlackBerry, Evernote is designed to fit perfectly into today’s fluid life/work mix. The minute you need to remember something, take out your BlackBerry and use Evernote to capture or recall whatever it is, then go on with your life. Isn’t it nice not having to worry about forgetting stuff?
Features
Evernote for BlackBerry lets you create notes containing text, snapshots, voice recordings, and file attachments. Once created, the new content is automatically sent to the Evernote Service, making it available across all the versions of Evernote that you use. You can also access your existing notes, search by keywords, filter by tags, or simply browse.
It is important to note that features are linked to the capabilities of your device. For example, if your BlackBerry does not have a camera, then you will not see the Snapshot note option. Also, the note searching and display experience depends on the capabilities of your BlackBerry’s built-in web browser. In general, the newer your BlackBerry, the better Evernote will run on it.
Compatibility
Evernote for BlackBerry is compatible with recent BlackBerry smartphones. Currently supported devices are:
- BlackBerry® Bold™
- BlackBerry® Curve™
- BlackBerry® Storm™
- More soon (subscribe to this blog or follow us on Twitter to be alerted)
We will release an update shortly, which will add support for some additional devices. Many older BlackBerry smartphones can be upgraded to newer operating systems. Please check with your BlackBerry vendor or carrier. Unfortunately, due to device limitations, some smartphones will not be compatible with Evernote for BlackBerry.
Availability
Evernote for BlackBerry is available through BlackBerry App World in the Productivity & Utility > Personal Organization category.
[UPDATE: A direct download is now available on our BlackBerry page]
BlackBerry App World is designed to only display applications that are compatible with your device, which mean that Evernote will only show up if your smartphone is listed above.
What’s next?
Tons of cool stuff. So, stay tuned.

Can’t download from Japan.
NTT Docomo is selling Blackberry bold in Jaan from this spring.
Espiox
Sounds cool, but where the heck’s the Android app?
Gabriel Jackson
After checking DAILY in the BB Appstore, Evernote showed up as if by miracle Sunday night. THANK YOU!
It’s great to have a native application – it has found a permanent place on my home screen the second it was installed.
Since we, as humans, are never satisfied – when will be able to scroll through notes inside the application rather than the BB Browser?
Jerry D'Antonio
When I first saw this announcement I was absolutely giddy with excitement. Then I read the entire post. No Pearl!
Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhh!
Do you plan to support the Pearl? If so, any idea when? I will be the FIRST to download the app when it’s available for the Pearl. I love Evernote and have been having iPhone envy for too long now. Help a brother out? Evernote for BlackBerry Pearl, please!
Matthew Yankelovich
When is this supposed to show up in App World? I don’t see it listed and a search doesn’t produce any results for “evernote”.
I’m running a blackberry storm 9530, 4.7 – Any ideas?
Robert Miller
No Pearl support?
edmidor
Does it use SMTP or direct socket connection? Can it be used with email-only data plans?
Are you planning any Linux client, for example for Linux based Nokia n810?
Duckalicious
I have a Bold with 4.6, but searching Appworld for “evernote” won’t locate the Evernote app. Any thoughts?
Don
SWEET!
I only wish I could find it in App World.
Jarmer
How do I get it?! The App World returns “No Results Found” when I search. What category can I find it in?
Greg Battle
I have complained about Evernote not having a Blackberry application on Twitter no less than 20 times. You’ve heeded my call to action, and now I will install it and giggle with delight!
Thanks for listening to your users. Get ready for some iterative feedback.
Andrew Sinkov
Hey folks,
If you have a compatible BlackBerry and are not seeing Evernote in App World, please be patient. It may take a little bit of time for it to show up for everyone. You can also try searching for us in the Personal Productivity category.
Andrew
Stefan
How can I get the application – as the apps store is not available in Germany?
Jarmer
Andrew:
thanks, I will wait a while and try to find it again later.
Although, I really wish you’d provide an OTA version. The App World is unfortunately pretty painful to use. Laggy as hell, takes a while to update app lists (like right now with Evernote) and randomly removes apps from the “My World” that you do indeed still have.
Jim Rathbun
I’m also running the Storm and I don’t see the app. Which is fine I’m patient. Just not sure which category it is supposed to be under.
Under “Productivity & Utilities”
There are
“On-the-Go Productivity” and
“Personal Organization”
I don’t see Personal Productivity category.
Keep up the great work.
Hector
Now I know!! Why I don’t see it. The Curve 8330 is not supported. We have 4.5, it is for 4.6. All the Curve owners are out of luck. Sucks big time, I have been waiting like crazy!! Are there is tons of 8330′s Out there!
Michael Roberts
Support for 8310 running 4.5 and 4.6 handheld software would be great! Please please..
Michael
Also wondering when I’m going to see EN in AppWorld on my Storm
Stepe
I used to cuss at least twice a day because there was not BB app! Thanks for putting the proverbial soap in my mouth.
…now if I can just find it in app world…
JMEhlers
As Stefan said above, since the Appworld is not yet available in Germany (and it will probably be another few months if not more) there is no way to download Evernote for Blackberry. This goes for quite a few other countries aswell.
Any chance you could make it available for download from the Evernote website aswell? I for one would gladly (finally) upgrade my free account if I could use it with my blackberry, but it is pointless if I can´t even download it.
Fernando
Same problem than Stefan, but in Spain. As far as I know the store is only available in US, Canada and UK.
Doug
tried searching within the productivity category but still couldn’t find it…
Mark
2:25pm EDT: just tried a category look up and a search and am unable to find Evernote. Blackberry Storm 9530. Any chance of a direct download link for subscribers? Looking forward to seeing the program in action! This is great news.
James
Ugh,
Some of us are limited by corporate restrictions and can’t install the latest BB OS. No chance for support on 4.5?
JD
Insomnic
No Pearl support?
Very disappointing…
Twdumbdogs
What Personal Productivity category? I dont have that category and it isn’t showing up any where else in the whole of App World.
Be nice if there was just an OTA download somewhere. Sheesh why does it have to be so damn complicated.
mark
There is no “personal productivity” section. There is a Productivity & Utilities. My guess is that it’s here, but under which subcategory? Personal Organization?
I can’t find it. Any plans to link to download from http://www.evernote.com?
Andrew Sinkov
Sorry for the confusion, the app is in the Productivity & Utility > Personal Organization category.
mike pags
get it together boys, release a direct download/ota version of this app…
we’ve been waiting too long only now to make us wait for AppWorld to update…
Rich
No luck finding Evernote on the App Store for my Storm. Any ideas when it will be available? Maybe the announcement should have been made when it was there for almost everyone???
JH
Hate to add to a long list of gripes, but the app isn’t appearing on my Storm in the “Productivity & Utility > Personal Organization category”. I’ll check later, as I am super DUPER thrilled to see Evernote coming to the BB.
Matt
Can’t find this via app world in the UK, have tried a search and looked in the category suggested above…
A download from the site would be great – I’ve been waiting for a blackberry version to complete my Evernote life
Adam
I don’t see it in my App World. I am running the 8900 curve on Rogers in Canada.
Greg Cimmarusti, PMP
I have a BB Storm and I have looked on my phone under the Productivity & Utilities catagory and then the Personal Organization Catagory . . . no Evernote. Please help!
Really looking forward to this.
Greg Cimmarrusti, PMP
Shelly Middleton
Evernote still does not show up on my Storm. Not even when i navigate to it from categories.
Damian
Not available in Ireland either as for the German and Spanish commenters. OTA download would be great.
Jarrett Collins
Consider me another 8330 user waiting for the Evernote app… soon, please!
Bil
Also waiting for 8330 support. And why no OTA?
Juan
Another Curve 8330 user here that won’t get to experience this app. I hope you guys make a 4.5 version that we can use because there are TONS of 83xx devices out there that would take advantage of it! Pearls are quite abundant also…
Danny
Are there specific capabilities lacking in the 4.5 OS that are preventing you from extending this evernote app to it?
None of the US carriers currently support upgrading to 4.6 on the pearl or any of the curve models (83xx)
Jamie D
I am having no luck finding it on my BB Storm either… Sad!
Dofang
Still not in App World in the US! (Not in the “Personal Organization” subgroup…) Feh. Teases!
Zenistar
Making this exclusive to the app store is reduculous, the store is UK, USA and Canada – hello the rest of the world do have Blackberries!
Annoyed Evernote premium user in Switzerland.
Andrew Elia
Blackberry app world not available to people outside US, Canada and UK.
Is there any other way I can get it, I have a bold.
Ken
THANKS! As promised, I will be going premium!
Chris
I too am disappointed at the lack of support for the Verizon Curve 8330. The 83xx Curve was the best-selling smartphone in quarter 1 2009.
Gil
You have to search appworld for Evernote — capitalize. AW is too dumb to check for lower case — can you believe it?
Gil
And don’t bother looking through the categories. Just do a SEARCH but be sure to spell Evernote (not evernote). Finds it quickly.
tim nolte
Anoher disappointed 8330 user here.
Jason
It is there now, I did a search and found it. I did install the latest version of appworld and reboot.
