I think there is great potential for expansion of how Evernote can be used – personally there are 2 things I’d like to see integrated. First, it would help a lot if it was possible to set an alarm on a note (I have to use another app to do that) and second there is a big hole in the market for post-it type notes that sync between PC and mobile devices. I would like to make a note on my phone and have it wirelessly appear on my computer desktop (without having to open the evernote program) and vice-versa…

You´ll want to clip the article, read it in Evernote and mark off there.
I just started using the plugin for Chrome called Clearly wich makes really neet and uniform articles out of webpages.

$44 for a life-time subscription I get, but, to pay that annually, I am just not ready for this. I live without the pro versions. BTW, the monthly fee is even a worse idea.

The new Android Evernote app is great on my HTC G2. Combined with the Evernote app on my PC and netbooks (and Blackberry 9700) and I pretty much have Evernote everywhere I want/need it.

In short: Evernote ain’t limited to the iPhone.

I’m using it in Chrome on Ubuntu and it works okay… But a native app would be better!

Same questions, any plans for Linux?

If you take a photo with your phone via Evernote and save it, how do you get that photo into a jpg format that works with Picassa?
Thanks

You can install Google Chrome and then install it as an app in Chrome, if you like

I got tired of my pc crashing from time to time and I installed a Linux based system (Ubuntu). I don’t think I’ll ever go back to windows now but Evernote doesn’t have a Linux version of its software. I know I can go online to see and edit my notes but are there any plans in the pipe for a Linux compatible Evernote?

It’s worth upgrading. I can do so much more as a pro user. Best money I ever spent.

This line break issue is driving me crazy as well. Just don’t understand why such a BASIC issue is not solved. Will try finding another app …

I have a Palm Pre Plus, which runs on WebOS and there is an application for it. Also if you can surf the web from a smartphone, you can just go to Evernote.com, which is especially helpful if you are using someone else’s hardware.

I’d suggest copying and pasting. Though it does take more time, it works…

@Gareth, @Adam:
The line break thing seems to be an issue with Evernote, a bug in the editor. If you download Smultron (a free HTML editor for Mac), you can copy/paste the Evernote into Smultron, then copy/paste the text from there to wherever you want and it preserves the formatting (at least the line breaks, which was my major concern).

These are great tips – thanks so much.
I’m still finding my way around Evernote and
I learned so much by just reading your post.

Pat, offline access to notes on your iPod is a Premium feature. Once you upgrade, you’ll have the ability to save any/all of your notebooks on the device. http://www.evernote.com/about/premium

I love Evernote, except that it doesn’t work on the iPod Touch without Wifi. So I get to a place where I need the info — airport, car rental agency, store– and I can’t access the data! Please make it so it can be accessed w/o wifi. Otherwise, these tips are worthless, as is Evernote.

To gather research info, I tear out and highlight many newspaper/mag articles, maybe 1000 a year, which I save by topic. So as you can imagine I have big stacks. I know EverNote will let me clip web pages, but how do I highlight the text in article so I can quickly find the important info a year later without re-reading the entire article? In other words, how can EverNote replace my Wall Street Jrnl and yellow highlighter?

line breaks for mac are terrible!!

what is going on here? it is maddening to have to constantly hit return on test that was pulled from Evernote. Lists are instantly destroyed and converted to big run on sentences – does anyone know a way around this? Evernote – why can’t you fix this one MAJOR issue ?

I know at least 20 people in our office who abandoned using Evernote for this one reason – I am next

I thought your tips were great Joshua, plus I’m new to evernote, so I’m still trying to get the hang of things.

Great tips. I’ve also found Evernote useful for journaling and drafting blogs and articles on the go. I would like to intergrate with more apps on my mac like send Docs from Word ’08 straight to Evernote. Any ideals other than emailing to my personal folder?

@Ali Rodriguez. If you take a lot of photos but don’t want to send lots of emails then check whether your phone has a memory stick (M2 memory sticks are very small so look carefully). If you have one, then you can buy a Sony Ericsson M2 reader on Amazon (£1.15 in England, not sure about America), which I’ve got, and you can then easily transfer all the files to your computer. Hope that helps.

Can you search snapshots on the free version or am I doing something wrong? I took the snapshot on my iphone and it loaded fine but when I search it only searches notes not the snapshot?

Thanks
