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.

I can’t find this app in Android Market for HTC Hero :/
I live in Denmark, Europe, if that have anything to say.
iViN
I have the same problem, meaning I can’t find this app in the Android Market either…
I’m in the Netherlands and have got a HTC legend.
Does anyone know if this app has been removed or whether it’s not compatible with 2.1?
Tom
Same problem here. I live in Belgium and have a HTC Legend. Evernote does not appear on the market.
jean

tina

Got my HTC Legend yesterday, and can’t find Evernote in the appstore either. I’m located in Sweden.
Is this a device-issue or a geography-issue, I wonder.
peace,
airwhale

I have just got my HTC Legend and was looking forward to dowload Evernote, but I can’t fint it in Marketplace??? I live in Norway.
Christian
Same problem for HTC tattoo in Germany, does not appear on the market. Where can I get the *.apk file to install it manually?
Ryan Bateman
Great application, guys. Would a feature request for a quick-note widget be out of line? Would really utilise one of Android unique features, I think.
Anyhow, keep up the good work.
Pj Murray
Hey does any one know if there is a way we can suggest improvements for the app to where it will get to the right people?
Mark Twells
Tred searching for evernote in the Market – not there. My phone is a HTC Tattoo, and I’m UK based.
anybody tell me how to get this app?
carmen
How come this is not available to Blackberry, or is it?
Andrew Sinkov
Carmen, There is an Evernote for BlackBerry. You can get it from BlackBerry AppWorld. More information is available here: http://www.evernote.com/about/download/blackberry
lookon
when will the next Android version release? any roadmap?
Jorge
Can’t find it on the Android market. Using a Devour in the US.
Andrew Sinkov
Jorge, point your Android browser at this URL: http://s.evernote.com/androidbeta

Confirm installed from beta url on legend in Ireland. How close is the software to getting into the market?
Lim Yeng Chuan
This is a wonderful application. It would be perfect if the notes can be stored in the SD card. When in an aeroplane, or other situations when we cannot go on line, we still want our info.
Sometimes when we are overseas, Wifi is not available and 3G on auto-roaming is not cheap, then android evernote becomes useless. Perhaps just word files or name of pic files if there is a fear of not enough memory ( but hey, current card is 8 G more than enough)
If that is ok, I will drop GooMemo and use Evernote.
Thank you very much for reading, nice people at Evernote!
Andrew Sinkov
We’re looking into expanding the Android functionality to allow for local note storage.
Mohit
such a great application but most of the time it’s useless, please make it stores data on local storage so i can use it even when i don’t have internet connection othewise no use of having this application and why don’t i use my drop box.
JoefromPhilly
Is there a way to see only notes by notebook? Today, it looks like I can only see all the notes at once and only when I open the note, I can see the notebook it resides in.
Other than that, the app is awesome!!! Thanks so much!
Robert Vuković
I would vote for OFFLINE storage too.
I was surprised that I can not access my notes on the phone if I don’t turn on Wi-Fi.
3G is still too expensive in most countries for regular use.
Andrew Sinkov
We’re working on a number of improvements to the Android version. Stay tuned.
JY Lu
I really like Evernote. But I have experienced a couple of issues with my Android phone.
1. My tags created on my laptop (Windows) are not synced to my phone.
2. If I create a note on my laptop (Windows), and I cannot edit and save my changes on my phone.
Can someone help?

Every time I make a note on my mac I get this pop up when I try to view the note on my (android platform) htc hero running 1.5. ((java.lang.illegalstateexception: can’t declare any more prefixes in this content))any ideas on why???? The thumbnail shows up but when click on it on the phone that is what I got. I tried reinstalling on the phone and no luck. Really excited about this software but really wish I could figure this out. Please help It would be greatly appreciated.
Andrew Sinkov

Allison
I have the exact same problem as Justin!
Allison

Same problem here, it is so aggravating the program has great potential. Moto Droid
Van Metschke
Also having that problem. A new update for the Android was pushed out recently, but didnt seem to fix the issue.
Rudy X. Desjardins
Exact same issue here – running Android 1.6 on a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (Rachael)… Mac OS X 10.6.3… Evernote Version 1.8.1 (04/14/2010) build 79826
marcocatelli
Same issue. Motorola Milestone with 2.1 I love evernote, I hope you will update soon
Autumn Smith
I recently purchased a Droid HTC Incredible and installed the Evernote Android App. I also use Evernote for Mac. When I create a note on my computer, I cannot access/view the note on my phone. When I click on the thumbnail on my phone it reads “java.lang.IllegalStateException: can’t declare any more prefixes in this content”…? I also purchased the premium service (one month for $5) just to try it out before I figured out that it wasn’t working on my phone. I would love to subscribe for a year, but this service is basically useless to me without being able to view my notebook on my phone. Please help!
Logical Tom
I NEED a good note app. I am having the same problem. seems odd that some people get it to work and others do not. Are all android users getting this error?
graeme
Same error here on the HTC desire with evernote for mac.
Looking forward to a fix
Jerry
I’m having the same issue with the HTC Incredible. ((java.lang.illegalstateexception: can’t declare any more prefixes in this content)) Will there be a fix soon? I’d hate to switch apps since this seems to be the best app for notes.
Andrew Sinkov
Jerry, we are aware of the issue and are working around the clock to resolve it. It is related to viewing notes created on the Mac from the Android. We hope to have an update soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Ryan Conrad
Andrew,
I am using the Evernote application on a PC and I get the same error with notes loaded using the plugin for Outlook 2007. It is not limited to just mac users.
Doug
Same problem. REAL annoying. Motorola Droid.
Veronica
I’m having the same problem. “Can’t declare any more prefixes in this content.”
Andy
Same problem, making your software useless. It’s been a bug for way too long.
bjoern
same here htc legend in germany – and no evernote, skype or paypal in the market store
bjoern
No Evernote on Android Market.
Germany, HTC Legend.
Please!
Andrew Sinkov
We’re looking into this. Evernote should be available for you.
Ashish
Hi,
Another complainer, HTC Legend purchased but no APP in the Android Marketplace. Am currently in Germany.
Pengvim
I love this program, but there should be an offline mode.
Keep up the good work.
Cronqvist
Still no Evernote in Market. Denmark
HTC Legend.
Cronqvist
Why not let us download and install it manually?
Andrew Sinkov
Cronqvist, if you can’t find it in the Android Market, you can point your Android browser at http://s.evernote.com/androidbeta
Felix
Because of google’s copy protection, users who cracked for root can’t find evernote in the market.
Could you give a apk package to download?
Andrew Sinkov
Point your Android browser here: http://s.evernote.com/androidbeta
Steve
Love the app! The only issue I have is the default camera upload is horizontal. Therefore, when I capture pictures of documents, receipts, etc. they’re all sideways in my uploaded notes. Is there a way to fix this, because I do not see an option to rotate images in Evernote?
Thanks!
Pat
I installed Evernote on my Liquid a few days ago, and… it doesn’t work properly.
When I write a note, it never gets uploaded to my account, nor can I see my online-created notes on my phone.
Kurt Navratil
Love Evernote in general – need a WIDGET! I like the 3bananas widget and am using it more and more….
Moscow
Same problem here… notes created on MAC get error on my HTC DESIRE: ((java.lang.illegalstateexception: can’t declare any more prefixes in this content))… hope it’ll be fixed soon…
Larry McConkey
I loved using Evernote until I discovered I couldn’t store the data locally on my Motorola Android. I need access all the time, not just when connected to the internet, exactly as it works on my PC! Just flew across the country and expected to work on some ideas that I had started in Evernote. I have to stop using it until I can get local data – obviously best on the card memory.
Andrew Sinkov
Larry, We are working on improving the Android version’s local storage capabilities.
Jens C. Rekling
Installed evernote on HTC magic. No go at showing the introscreen. Error:
java.lang.illegalstateexception: can’t declare any more prefixes in this content))
Martin Jerresand
Hello,
HTC Desire, Likes Evernote a lot, just switched from iPhone to Android. Getting this illegal state error message on notes created on my Mac. Please….
.Martin
Andrew Sinkov
Martin, we’re working on a fix.

Available here for HTC Legend

Works Fine.
Drk
Evernote for Android doesn’t works with OS with another language different than english. For example, if you use germany, french or spanish you will see the next error:
“java.lang.IllegalStateException: can’t declare any more prefixes in this context”
Only if you uses special characters (ó,ò,í,ì,ç,ñ,….)
Nathan Thomas
will this link work on motorola devour

Love Evernote (Android), but… i know it’s old skool but i would love more note sort options, especailly alphabetical.
chrisr
I just downloaded Evernote on my Incredible. I’m trying to register but it’s asking me for the word verification. I don’t see any words to verify. Do I have to register on my computer rather than my phone?
Don Wells
I have noticed that the search from Android is not the same as search from Windows. For example searching for Pat will return a note with Patricia on Windows. On Android it will not unless I search for Pat*.
Is there some regex syntax we don’t know about? I would expect a search for *ricia to find patricia, but it doesn’t. The * only seems syntacticly to mean any on the end of a word. Give us an idea of what this syntax might be and how we could use it.
It would also be nice on Android to select a specific notebook if we have several. Many of my notebooks are small enough to scroll through and not have to type in a search term, but I can not do that with the entire contents of my Evernote account.
Thank you.
Andrew Sinkov
Thanks for letting us know about the differences in search on Android vs Windows. We’ll look into that.
We will have a blog post up soon that explains the search syntax.

Offline + Sync is most wanted feature for Android client.
Andy
“We have big plans for Android in 2010, so stay tuned.”
Hope that your plans include being able to read, sync, and use notes created on a Mac in Evernote for Android on my phone.
SlyFox
When will you give us PREMIUM users offline support for Android?!!
