If you’re like me, then every year you find yourself in the same situation: you have a list of people who need gifts but no idea what to get them. Sound familiar? This year, let’s to do something about it. Let’s join together to create the ultimate wish list in Evernote.
Let’s make gift-giving simple(r)
- Shared wish list I started a shared Evernote Wish List notebook as a place for us to share the great gift ideas we come across.
- Send us your ideas You can add your suggestions by emailing us links to your favorite gift ideas (email link), and we’ll add them to the notebook.
- Share your gift notebook You can also share your own gift notebook with us by placing a link to it in the comments. (Read our sharing post for instructions).
- Link to your account You can link this shared notebook to your Evernote Web account and check back as often as you like to see the great new items that will be popping up over the next few weeks.
The gift of Evernote
Don’t forget, for only $45 you can give someone a full year of Evernote Premium.

I would like:
- Evernote to be able to group sub-folders in notebooks.
- Evernote to remember my view options
- Be able to get my notes and files off line in my iTouch.
- Increase view options in the desktop.
- Ability to keep formatting for notes on my iTouch

I liked this idea, and decided to link the shared account to my account. I can’t get it to show up on the client side, though — only the web-based version. Any way to get it to appear within the client?
Andrew Sinkov
@BarbD Our sharing is only on the web at this point. We are working on bringing it over to other versions of Evernote.

I have already been using Evernote, for gift lists for my wife and our 6-year old. Evernote (from my phone) makes it so easy to add items as the ideas “occur.” Now instead of what do I get them, it’s which of the items on my list do I get them. My wife was surprised, when I declined her offer of gift ideas, indicating that I had been keeping notes from her “cues” and ideas for the past several months.

wow! great idea.

I took the idea and ran with it, thanks Evernote! I have tagged items with how much I want something and a price range, so people can sort them. Not too many items as of yet, but I am sure it will get longer.

Would love to see improved adding via email. RTM does this well so perhaps some inspiration from how they do email addition on notes.
Apart from that evernote does most other stuff ok for me.

I would like:
- Evernote to be able to group sub-folders in notebooks.
- Ability to edit notes on my iPhone, even if they were created on a desktop app with colors, bold or whatever.
- A new way of organizing my tags (hey, we are at the Web2.0 era!). A tags cloud would be perfect.
- Mindmap tools.
- A better work with the keystrokes in the Mac app.

Dear Evernote-Santa,
For the holidays, I would like the ability to arrange notes on a grid on top of a picture. Let me insert the picture, you create the grid and let me associate my notes to individual grid points. Take a picture of that nicely organized storage closet, overlay grid points on it. click on a rubbermaid bin and see what’s inside…. pretty cool, huh?

Evernote-Santa,
I know you’ve got a list and are checking it twice too. Did you ever notice, however, that you can search your iPhone Evernote app based on “To do” items, but you can’t create them. What’s up with that? Surely Santa thinks of things to do while waiting in the sled for Mrs. Claus… I know I get my best planning done while waiting in the car. Thank you!
Michael Smith
I like your idea and I am doing my own too. Thanks to Evernote! All things are organized.

As someone who does academic research, I would love it if Evernote did what Zotero does and let me enter bibliographical information and then export it in a variety of styles as needed.
Dev
I would like evernote to have a todo list and the ability for me to drag and drop emails right into the todo list.
E. E. Perry
I would just like an EN desktop client for Linux…
Andreas Andel
I’d more than happy to see an Evernote client for Maemo5 with locally stored memos (similar to the great Evernote app available for the iPhone).

Scanner support, especially the NEAT scanner. I paid $400 for the NEAT scanner, I am not going to go buy the Fujitsu scanner.
I want Evernote to hold all of my bills, and misc. documents, making them searchable within Evernotes.
I would also be happy if Evernotes could hold all of my photos, and pdf documents. Let me sort them into notebooks, or photo albums, or tagged folders with descriptions/captions.
Partner with an online backup company to help me protect all of my information.
Index card style drag and drop outlining for organizing longer ideas either for documents or web pages. Evernote is great for getting the data, and finding a specific piece of data, but if I want to sort it and order it…no so good yet. Think of it like index cards, one idea or thought on each card, then sort the cards into an order that eventually becomes a document or web page or whatever.
Pete
It would be great to be able to add a Due Date to a note!
Pete P
I would like the iPhone/iTouch evernote app to pull addresses from Apple’s address book.
Keep up the great work!

Easier way to promote tags to the top level other than dragging. Sometimes I’ll create a sub-tag and then decide it would be better as a first level tag.
Alexander
Just got started on Evernote, and I LOVE IT!
Happy Holidays!
While I love the fact that I can search PDFs, I kinda wished I could do that on OpenOffice.Org files as well. As far as I can tell, I can just add them as files, not search them or even quicklook them.
So there you go, some feedforward on Christmas eve
DougP
All I wanted for Christmas was to have EN have an archive function for notebooks so I can finish a project and put it away from my active notebooks…

I’m a premium user and love my Evernote so much I can hardly wait to recommend it to just about anyone.
Spurred by my enthusiasm, I was all excited about the promise of reQall. If the Evernote guys like it, it must be good.
Oops. Not only did I have to pay for it just to try it (to get the Evernote link) it’s a tremendous disappointment! A double-sync is required just to get the voice to text (once for voice up, once for transcribed voice back down). Not good, that’s what I wanted it for! I use Evernote to jog my memory.
Three suggestions: 1) Use Dragon Dictation for voice to text. They’re wonderful and with years of experience their transcription quality is terrific. 2) Get them to add default email send functions (I’d use my Evernote address) and 3) add the memory jog by location they have.
Jus’ sayin… thanks!
Ju
I would love a phone app that works with nokia where I can edit stuff rather than just look at all the notes I’ve made.
Robert
I would like to see many of the To-Do list capabilities that I used extensively in the V1.x product. As I enter notes, I would like to add To-Do check boxes and have the ability to search for and view those notes with an unchecked, or checked box. Please!
Victor Q
All I want is Evernote for Linux an Maemo!!!
!
it would be great having Evernote in my Nokia N900 n_n
Karl
I would really like a UBUNTU AMD64/x86_64 Linux Client of EVERNOTE 3.5 Beta.
Pretty Pllease ;}

I’ve been an avid fan of evernote for the past 6 months, and I especially love 3.5… however, here’s my wishlist
1. Since my list of notebooks is getting out of control, I’d like to see notebooks inside of notebooks (e.g., I would love to have a “research” notebook or folder that contains a separate notebook for each project).
2. I’d like to see a folder where I can dump old notebooks for projects that have been completed (I guess by addressing wish #1, this one would be trivial).
Nate
3. I’d also like to see a fix on spell correction… when I right click on a misspelled word and click on the correct spelling, the word is corrected, but it removes the space between that word and the subsequent one.
malcor
I would like to have Evernote clipper for Opera and offline notes for Windows Mobile.
Thanks Santa
Philip
A new Evernote user, for a month or so. Brilliant concept and some very good features. However there are some things that really frustrate me.
My wishlist:
Evernote for Windows
- Convergance of text and ink notes, i.e. why can’t I do both in one note
- Auto sync on exit (at least as an option)
- Ability to reorder notes (or at least make it much easier / visible)
- More features in the ink editor, e.g.
– predefined shapes and lines;
– fill / paint
Evernote Mobile
- Searching for tags only (e.g. “to do”)
- Ability to edit more than the most basic PC-created text notes
- Improved text note editor (specifically formatting)
- Tabs that don’t collapse into spaces and get compressed (currently, doing any kind of layout / indenting is impossible)
Oh, and another one: the ability to directly paste from Evernote into this box! I wrote my list in Evenote but then had to copy-and-paste it via Notepad
More as I come across them.
Cheers,
Philip
Martin Packer
Another vote for 3.5 on Linux.
Riley S
Evernote Santa,
I’d like to be able to rotate photos in Evernote. I sometimes snap photos with my Android phone sideways directly into Evernote.
zaspun
I miss from 3.5:
Encryption
English language
links between notes
Reinier
I’m very happy with the almost automatic scanning to PDF and sending to Evernote that I can do now after some experimenting.
Sometimes, I find I have scanned somethin upside-down of 90degrees rotated. I would very much like to be able to repair this in EN!
Victor
1- Evernote 3.5 for Linux
2- Linking between notes (wikipedia style!)
John
Improved search.
I really like Evernote and it was worked really well for me for 18 months on Windows and the Web.
I use it mainly for text notes in my IT job.
However, you cannot search for BCD within ABCDE
This means you cannot “Remember everything”.
I appreciate there are performance issues with this function but it could be built into local database search (non web) with a suitable warning about performance.

Andrew Sinkov
@John The way Evernote search is designed, it works starting from the beginning of the word. So if you word is ABCDE, a search for ABC will bring it up, but a search for BCD will not.
Aldo
More task management integration would be perfect. I now use Things. If a lot more of the functions of task and project management would be incorporated, Evernote would be perfect.
Trevor
LINUX LINUX LINUX! I prefer 3.5 and can’t use it with Wine/Crossover.
….. and the ability to edit handwritten notes on Windows Mobile!
Thanks
Sam
Linux support for 3.5.
Jonathan Dietrich
Native Linux Evernote client, please.
maxlefou
Linux native version of the client. Enuff good for me
A.B.
Linux native version or a version that works with wine. Thanks
Simon
Would absolutely love a native Evernote client for Linux please!
Harry B.
I too vote for Linux compatibility of Evernote. I use Ubuntu and I dual boot with Windows 7 for two reasons, games and Evernote.
Scott
Another vote for linux. Or if not at least please add keyboard shortcuts and get rid of the “working” swirling animation that keeps interrupting work! If that was fixed I’d be happy with the web version.
TR
I would love to see subfolder/subnotebook ability in Evernote. This program has been great for creating a clinic notebook, but as I add more body systems and conditions it is getting harder to keep things organized. Subfolders would be very helpful.

EXPORT EXPORT EXPORT EXPORT
Why isnt there a possibility to export to pdf, rtf, txt etc. etc.???? I dont hink, this is to much of a technical problem – but this data lock thing really is a fail and fpr me the major reason not to use evernote more often – never to speak of becoming a premium user – despite the great features etc.
Would be great, if this wold change.
Alan
I’d like to have these features,
1) disable note modification until you click an ‘edit’ button
2) an option to discard all local changes
Scarsos
Another vote for 3.5 on Linux!:)

I would like Evernote:
1. To have subfolders. It is so frustrating without them!
2. To allow you to pin your own notes to maps. For instance, I clip articles etc about nice hotels around the UK, in case I get an excuse to travel to a certain area. I would like to attach each hotel note to the map, so I can see visually where I might like to stay in a particular area and click on the relevant note. But I can’t find any way to do this.
3. I’d like to be able to link things together. I’ve not used Things but it sounds cool and it would be great if Evernote could offer some of that kind of functionality.
4. The ability to add Due date or some kind of time-based reminder.
Don’t get me wrong, Evernote is fab. We just want to make it perfect!
Emma H
Oh, and I forgot. If we do finally get subcategories, can we also have the ability to duplicate notes that could belong in more than one file? At the moment a note can only go one place, whereas you might want it in several. Thanks!
