Say hello to the newest member of the Evernote family: Evernote for Android. After months and months of development, we’re incredibly excited to unveil this shiny new version of Evernote. As you would expect, Evernote for Android is free and available in the Android Market.
Capture everything
Evernote for Android allows you to create text notes, snap photos, and record audio. In addition, you can easily attached files to your notes. Free subscribers can add PDFs, text, audio, or image files. Premium subscribers can attach any file they like, as long as the total note size is under 25MB.
When creating your notes, Evernote for Android lets you specify titles, tags, and destination notebooks.
Find all your notes, any time
Evernote for Android comes equipped with native note browsing, which means that you can easily browse and search through all of your notes. Thanks to Evernote’s synchronization features, all the notes you make in the desktop or web versions of Evernote are instantly accessible from your Android phone—and vice versa.
There’s also Evernote’s image recognition, which automatically recognizes text contained within snapshots—this is great for everything from business cards to wine labels to whiteboards.
Different views
When viewing your notes, Evernote for Android lets you choose between a fancy thumbnail view or a simpler list view. If you’re on a speedy network, then opt for the thumbnail view. If you’re on a slower network, or one that charges based on data use, you can go with the slimmed-down list view. Your choice.
Check the menu
To maximize the amount of visible space, we placed a bunch of functionality into the Android menu. Click your phone’s Menu button, and you’ll be able to browse notes, set location awareness, view Saved Searches, and more.
Where you at?
Evernote for Android captures your location whenever you create a note. It then lets you find that note by proximity to your current location. To activate this feature, go to the Settings menu and make sure that the location settings are enabled. Once a connection is made, the “Notes Near Location” option will appear in the main Evernote menu.
And much more…
This is only the beginning. We have big plans for Android in 2010, so stay tuned.
We also want to give a special thanks to all of the people that helped us iron out the kinks during the beta period. You rock!
Speaking of which, if you were a Beta tester, then you need to uninstall Evernote and reinstall it from the Market.

it’d great if there would be an offline mode, so notes can be read or written offline.
Andrew Sinkov
That’s in the plans.
Steven Dent
Is there an ETA on those plans? Evernote is awesome on my HTC Desire. Makes my life far easier!
Cwat

Andrew Sinkov
There are lots of Android improvements and enhancements in the works.

I just bought a Motorola devour. evernote is not in the android market and the link provided didn’t do the trick. I don’t know if I’ll keep this thing if I can’t get evernote. I’m a little dependent on it now for my writing.

I may buy an Android phone just for the Evernote Application. Definitely the coolest and most productive app out there!

Can always get an iPhone or iPad, EverNote looks and works great on both devices!
Sheldon
I just UPGRADED from iphone os device to android device, and it is great this app works fantastic…. I am also waiting for the offline version.
Also I am hoping for improvement on search, by using the notebook on tabs or something, like the iphone.
Keep up the great work on this app…..

I have big hands and hate the small (vertical) keyboard on the HTC Incredible. Evernote does not seems to support the wider (horizonal) keyboard on the Incredible (at least I can’t get it to appear).
PLEASE add the wide keyboard capability. Also waiting for an offline mode so I can use it to read/write note when out to signal range (often).
Thanks,
Jack

I want to use it on a Xperia X10 Mini, when do you fit the resolution?
telemakos
I agree! I’d love to use evernote on my X10 mini pro but I cannot find on the android market yet!

What are the differences between the Iphone version and Android?? I am wanting to get a T mobile galaxy 2 with 2.2 on it. Also are you able to create a notebook on the mobile version? I use this product on my ipad 3g and Mac computer. The Ipad version is as good if not better that the Mac version. I am a premium member.

Great app, I keep finding more ways to take advantage of it. Any plans on adding the capability of barcode scanning?
Clive
Please make the app available outside of the market too. I have serious problems with the market not showing stuff for my phone model (HTC Tattoo running droid 1.6) – Evernote is not found. Even if I use the QR Code directly off the evernote website. Please also just add a link to the .apk file directly, I’d love to try this.
Thank you

I’m expecting the offline version for my HTC desire also;
and if it supports hand draw on android it would be great also.

Thanks for bringing Evernote over to Android. It just made the switch from iPhone to Android and Evernote was the first program I downloaded. I have one question I’m hoping you can answer. I have several notes that contain pics. On my iPhone the notes would open with the pics small enough to fit on the display entirely and I could pinch to zoom in/out. On my Droid X they are much larger and I have to scroll around to see the entire picture (I’m viewing them scaled). The only solution I’ve found so far is to resize the pictures in the web app. Is this something you can fix? I’ve noticed this issue with other Android apps, and I’m curious if it’s just a limitation of the OS? I also have two requests. Could you add an option to have the app default to existing notes? I reference my notes more often than creating them. The other request is offline notes. Thanks!

Hi,
the Android version is a good start. Offline functionality will be the biggest improvement.
What I miss too: To sort the notes by notepad. Its a pain in the a** to go through 100+ notes to find what you’re looking for.
