Two months ago, we sat glued to our browsers as details of the iPad started streaming out of Apple’s launch event. It didn’t take us very long to formulate our official strategy for the new device: we were going to support the hell out of it, and we had 60 days to do it. Today is iPad launch day and as long lines start to form outside of Apple stores and UPS-Santa makes his rounds to sleepless geek households, we’re happy to say that Evernote for the iPad is live in the Apple AppStore!
The new Evernote version (3.3) for Apple’s mobile devices is a universal binary that will run on all iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices. There aren’t many changes for iPhone / iPod Touch users in this version, but if you run it on an iPad you get a completely new user experience.
Something to hold
Designing the new interface was a daunting task. First, we made an advanced prototype by cutting out a roughly-tablet-sized piece of cardboard, writing “iPad” on it, and carrying it around for a few days. We would bring it to meetings, hold it in different ways, and try to imagine what Evernote would feel like on this form factor. We looked pretty stupid and people made fun of us mercilessly. We printed out Photoshopped UI screens and taped them to the “iPad” to get an idea of font sizes and finger placement. We learned a lot.
What should it be?
We tried taking our existing iPhone UI and making it bigger. That failed the cardboard-poke test. We tried taking our existing Mac UI and making it smaller. That failed the cardboard-poke test. We locked ourselves into a conference room for three days and threw away all of our previous designs. After some trial and error, we got something that we fell in love with.
One major design principle of our iPad interface is to get you to your notes quickly. The new layout and interactions dramatically reduce the amount of navigating and searching you have to do. The idea is that it should be easy and pleasant to just get to any note you want in a very tactile way. We want you to have the feeling of running your fingers directly through your memories. It’s hard to describe but easy to experience. Of course, you can still search.
Things to try
We’ll post a complete tutorial of all the features soon, but in the meantime here are some things you should try:
Views
Scroll through all your notes in the “All notes” screen. Try the “View options” in the upper righthand corner to toggle between thumbnail and detail display and to change how your notes are grouped. If you have a lot of notes, try using the quick-scroll bar on the right side of the screen to quickly jump from group to group. The tick marks on this bar show you how many notes you have in each group, so it’s easy to jump to the “busy” parts of your life with just one tap!
Notebooks and tags
Tap on the “Notebooks” or “Tags” tab to view and browse your notebooks and tags. If you have many items displayed, try changing the sort order to “Note count” using the switch at the bottom of the screen, and you’ll automatically see your most popular tags or notebooks first.
Places
Try the new map display in the “Places” tab. The thumbnails will automatically update to show only those that relate to what you’re seeing on the map. So, as you scroll and zoom the map, it’s easier than ever to find exactly the note your looking for.
Notes
If you tap any note, you’ll see a split screen with the note contents in one panel and thumbnails in the other. All of the “View options”, grouping, scrolling and quick-scroll functionality is available in this view as well, so you can pretty much spend all of your time in the screen if you want. Just hit the “Home” arrow in the upper right to get back.
New notes and editing
You can always make a new note by hitting the “New note” button on the bottom left corner of the screen. We’ve implemented the most requested feature for note creation: You can now combine text notes with any number of image or audio attachments. Just tap the attachment buttons located along the top of the note editing window to record audio or add an image. You can even continue to type while you record, although if you try this you should either use an external mic, external keyboard, or tap very very softly… All of this works when editing an existing note as well, just hit the pencil button when viewing a single note. These new capabilities have also greatly expanded the types of notes that you can directly edit.
Searching
You can always search through your notes by tapping on the search bar in the upper right. All of Evernote’s image searching and highlighting works as well, of course.
Remembers your place
The new Evernote for iPad is so fast that we were finally able to implement another frequent request: when you quit and relaunch the app, it starts exactly where you left it. If you were viewing a particular note or search result and quit to run another app, your note will be right back on the screen when you restart Evernote. If you don’t care about what you were last looking at and just want to make a new note quickly, the “New note” button is always in the lower left side.
What’s not in the new version (yet)?
There are a bunch of things that we wanted to get into this version but couldn’t. These will be coming soon:
Drawing
We think that making a quick sketch or jotting down a phone number with your finger will be a great experience on the iPad, but we didn’t want to try to put in this functionality until we’d actually spent some quality time with the hardware. Handwriting is just too much of a tactile-based experience to develop purely on a simulator.
Notebook, tag and search management
Notebook, tag and search management: You can’t currently make new notebooks on the iPad, and tag and search management options are limited. Of course, you can do all of this from the Mac, Windows and Web versions of Evernote and the results will be automatically synced to the iPad. The next version will include this functionality directly on the device.
iPhone / iPod Touch upgrades
Even though much of the under-the-hood code was updated in version 3.3, there are no user-visible changes in this version for iPhone / iPod Touch users. The next few updates will bring many of the improvements that we developed for the iPad to our iPhone / iPod Touch users.
Many other upgrades and improvements are coming soon as well. Getting our iPad app from zero to public availability in 60 days was a giant effort, but we’re not slowing down anytime soon. If the first version on the iPad is this good, just imagine what we’ll be able to do once we, you know, actually get some iPads.
A giant thanks to everyone who worked on this version: Steve, Gabe, Andrew, Dave, (the other) Phil, Alex, Ken, and Larry!
Note: A few people have reported a problem synchronizing existing accounts when upgrading to version 3.3 on their iPhone or iPod Touch. Most of these problems are solved by quitting and restarting the app. If this doesn’t work for you, then you should delete the app from your iPhone (by holding the icon until it wiggles and tapping the ‘x’) and reinstall it from the AppStore. We’ve already submitted a new version to Apple (3.3.1) that fixes this problem, so hopefully this won’t be an issue for long.

Thanks for the advice on the U2 error. Added text to the body and it worked fine. Love Evernote on the ipad. Please (please please) add ink notes for ipad – what could be more natural.
Teresa Macklin
I think that handwriting will work well on the ipad. I bought a stylus – don’t have it yet, but I can see using the ipad to take notes similarly to my tablet pc. I hope you guys will support pen/writing input. I really don’t care so much about handwriting recognition. I’m happy to store the untranslated notes. Just don’t want to have to use the keyboard when taking notes by pen is fast, accurate and easy!
Michael Wilde
Teresa…
Which stylus did you get?
Brian
I also am looking forward to drawing notes/sketches on ever note. I do this on my tx2000 and would LOVE it on my iPad. Also don’t need recognition. I just got my pogo sketch today.. Will wait patiently for ever note to work with it.
David Brenner
I love the new iPad interface. It is a very pleasant experience. One thing that I would like to see is a better note editing experience. Using the wireless keyboard, it is awkward to create new notes. I’d like to have something where I could take notes in meetings, add bullet lists, nested lists, etc like you can in the desktop interface.
That is really my biggest complaint with the interface.
You did a great job considering you didn’t have an actual device to work on
markus enochson
hi, after installing evernote and starting to create a bunch of new notes it crashes alot. might be two dl pictures but they were from duravit website web so i cant see why…
Jesus
i passed Evernote by on my iPhone but when i got my iPad i was very interested in moving all my stuff over. Sadly, Evernote keeps crashing every time i run it. Should i be expecting an update for this soon?
Andrew Sinkov
Try uninstalling Evernote, restarting the iPad, then reinstalling. That fixes most issues we’ve encountered.
Steve Haney
Gents, the one app I am looking forward to most on my iPad is Evernote with ink notes. I have already bought my Pogo pen so I can take notes in meetings. Yes, you are probably wondering, why not just type your meeting notes with Evernote on a laptop? Because real people don’t type notes in meetings. They keep eye contact with their clients and occasionally look down to jot down important pieces of information on a note pad. Typing into a laptop in a sales meeting is not socially acceptable.
I am sure you have a real UI challenge in front of you, to make the iPad a good ink note app. Just resting the pad of one’s hand on the screen while writing on the iPad surface is probably an issue. But I hope you guys figure it out. As far as I am concerned, Evernote will be the iPad’s killer app.
Andrew Sinkov
Steve, we’re looking into drawing options for the iPad version. It’s definitely a great device for that.
Ken
This will be the number one reason why I will be buying an iPad (once it goes on sale in my country). Hand writing with a stylus is so much quicker and easier than having to stop and think where the keys are on a keyboard. Cutting out this huge barrier to ideas is going to be amazing.
I currently use Evernote mainly for web clipping – I find using a ‘real’ noteboard and/or post-it note is far better for generating ideas (its just not good trying to remember which page the note is on).
With handwriten notes in Evernote, it would be easy to then just type in the heading, tags, a few key words for quick searching.
Malcolm
Here here! Up in the great white north, I am really looking forward to the iPad as a replacement to the never-ending series of notepads that I carry with me. Hand writing with a stylus into my favorite capture and organization tool would make this device the missing tool in my technology pil.e
Bob
Another vote for ink and stylus support. Thanks.
Matthew mmWine Horbund
Andrew
Currently resisting.
First, if there’s drawing options for Evernote on the iPad, it’ll be the ONLY reason I buy an iPad
Second – will the new notebook style be implemented on the iPhone? I dislike the current “notes” view. I know I can hold my finger down on the scroll bar and scroll through notebooks, but I feel that’s sloppy. I’d much rather have a thumbnail view of all notebooks, scroll through them, then select the one I have to open and view enclosed notes.
Thanks
Matt
Pradel
Ink and pen support will be critical for ipad purchase decision for me also
Devin
Love Evernote! iPad app is okay. One thing that is missing from your list is the ability to do more formatting on text notes. Bullets, bold, checkboxes? Please tell me this is coming?!
George
Yes, we want to do checkboxes, as well.
Arun
Any updates on web clipping for iPad? Thanks
Andrew Sinkov
Arun, If you have our bookmarklet installed in Safari, you can set iTunes to sync your desktop bookmarks to your iPad. Then, set your iPad Safari settings to display bookmarks. You’ll be able to clip just as you would on the desktop. We’ll be improving this functionality to make it more iPad friendly.
Stephan
I don’t have OSX just an iPad but web clipping is exactly what I was looking for when I came across this app.
Is this possible to do without having the Osx version?
Thanks
Mark D
I am also looking to do web clipping from my iPad and I’m a windows user.
Kartik Shah
I think what is required is rich text editor – ability to do bold, italics, bullets, paragraphs, fonts, etc. The current text only editor does not do enough with iPad.
If you add that, I will go premium – I promise
Good work folks.
Thanks
Kartik
Kymaro Mortenson
I’m excited for the evernote iPad app. I find the blackberry app has a little to be desired. Maybe i just can’t get uesd to using ever note on a device so small. We’ll see how it works for the iPad. Kymaro Body Shaper
dennis
i know you are working on it, but drawing/handwriting is going to make this amazing on the ipad!
Neal Keesee
Does webclipping work on the iPad?
Tony
How can I get the App to view the note (PDF) in the entire screen without the split screen?
Mike G
I love Evernote and I’m a premium subscriber as well. The iPad implementation is well done but my one beef is that I can’t view an attachment either full screen without the EN wrapper or ideally send it to another application.
For example viewing PDF in Goodnote or .DOC in Pages. If you can’t sent to Goodnote, then how about working with them to allow them to pull from EN?
At the moment it looks like they’re the 2nd highest grossing app for the iPad. Seems like there’d be great potential for some awesome synergy between the two apps.
But short term, just a full screen view if my PDF’s would rock.
David
Is there any way to view a note full-screen? I don’t really want to see all the thumbnails or details all the time; sometimes I want to focus on a full page of my note (so, for example, I don’t have to scroll the page while I’m reading a recipe). A “hide thumbnails” option would be nice. Or maybe I just missed this feature?
Andrew Sinkov
Great suggestion. It’s something we’re looking into.
Matt
Evernote is one of the primary reasons I purchased an iPad. Please consider this a second vote for fullscreen mode. I use Evernote as a store of research papers (usually PDFs) and would love to read them fullscreen. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Jeff Andrews
Vote #3 for full screen option! Thanks.
Andrew Sinkov
We’re looking into this for a future release.
Pikamookie
+1 for the fullscreen viewing! Essential for students reading detailed ppts, etc. Awesome app!
Mike
+1! fullscreen PDFs would be great!
I got ever note a while ago for my iPhone and deleted it as I wasn’t that impressed. I was about to purchase Things for my iPad and noticed that the iPhone evernote had been updated. Wow, this is nearly exactly what I’m looking for. Saved me so much money too over buying things which wouldn’t have given me as much functionality as this. I’m most looking forward to being able to create a new notebook on my iPad and the drawing functionality would be great. I’ve since installed the Mac version and I’m impressed with that too however I’m in love with the iPad app. It’s now become my number one app. It would be great to be able to use the iPad app without having to worry about the desktop or web versions but I realize ur limited to how much you can do with the current OS. Keep up the good work and I look forward to future updates. Totally blown away.
Andrew Sinkov
Mike, fullscreen functionality is now available: http://blog.evernote.com/2010/04/13/evernote-for-iphone-and-ipad-update-major-fixes-and-improvements-plus-a-new-feature/
Darin
intuitively it should just be a swipe of some sort, not a button.
linuxgrinch
Hi,
just wanted to be sure that this latest announcement of an yet another addition to the list of device/os support for evernote didn’t go without a “can we get some support for linux”. so…
ipad app looks nice. can we get native support for linux?
unimpressed
Yeah pretty impressive that you can make a ipad app in 60 days and suck at the android app aafter a year.
nip
Seconded. I’m aware the ipad is a huge marketing opportunity but decent native linux isn’t all that hard.
Albert(s)
Would it be possible to somehow integrate Evernote into the browser? On my desktop I use it frequently to create notes from parts of webpages. The fact that the url and the title are created automatically would be a real time saver.
I missed this feature on the iPad. To be clear I just had my first iPad experience today since it isn’t yet officially sold overseas but it was the first thing that crossed my mind after using it.
Scott
iPad app was working great. Is there an update, the app all of a sudden started crashing/stopping right after it loaded and showed a note. I rebooted the iPad and checked the app store. Anyone know what might have suddenly caused this? It was working great for the last 3-4 days. Thanks for a great app.
Andrew Sinkov
Scott, if the issue continues, try uninstalling Evernote, rebooting, then re-installing Evernote.
Sanjay Samani
The biggest issue that I have with Evernote for iPhone, and I imagine it will be an issue for Evernote for iPad when iPad is finally released here in the UK, is getting access to my notes when I have a weak or no internet connection. Where I live there is no EDGE network, let alone 3G, and I often work in buildings where there is no signal at all.
Not being able to access my notes in that situation is a major hassle. I do not want to have to mark every one of my notes as a favourite to ensure that it gets kept on my phone.
I saw one reference that you were working on keeping a local store of notes, sync’d up, like the desktop client. Do you have any idea about when you are likely to have a fully sync’d iPhone / iPad version, rather than one that accesses the note from the web?
Andrew Sinkov
Sanjay, local note storage on iPhone, iPod and iPad is already available. It’s a Premium feature. Once you become Premium, tap on the satellite dish on your iPhone and select “Offline notebooks.” This will allow you to load any/all of your notebooks onto your device.
Sam
I tried offline notebook synching, with three notebooks on account, the synching seems to go on forever but I was still missing many notes. I had to exit the app, return to app, and do one notebook synching at a time. Unfortunately it just keeps turning and missing notes. I had to exit the app and go back in and the app starts synching again. After many exits (more than 10) it finally synched all the notes.
Then I turned on the other two notebooks one by one. I think note count is wrong, and the last notebook synching keep causing app freezes. I had to exit and go back in several times before it starts to work again.
iPad version is definitely buggy, but I love the interface you redesigned for ipad, and look forward to be using it!
Andrew Sinkov
Sam, I recommend that you contact our support team: http://s.evernote.com/support
Kurt Cotoaga
Evernote is one of the two most important apps on my iPad. I love it and I would humbly ask to just make it more stable, as from time to time it just crashes when saving. The only fix I have for this, as it does not restart after a crash is to delete and reinstall. Fortunately I never lost data, as the save seems to work.
Great tool, great service!
Andrew Sinkov
Thanks Kurt. We submitted a release to Apple for approval. That will fix many of the problems you’re encountering.
Hakan Aldrin
Evernote keeps crashing all the time on my iPad. Have delete the app and reinstalled and still have the same problem. Just love Evernote otherwise and recommend it strongly to all my friends.
Andrew Sinkov
Hakan, We have submitted an update to Apple that should fix those issues. It will be available shortly.

You shouldn’t feel stupid at carrying around the cardboard mockup. Another “stupid looking person” named Jeff Hawkins carried around a wood block as a mockup and it became the Palm Pilot. Now look how many millions of “stupid looking” people there are today carrying smartphones.
Janssen Jones
I like the iPad app, but….I’d love to be able to view a note in full screen! I’ve saved a ton of PDFs into Evernote, but it appears I can only view them on half of the screen at the time – either the right half in landscape, or the bottom half in portrait. I’ve had to download a second app (GoodReader) in order to actually read the PDFs. Other than that, great first version! (Please let me know if I’m just missing something obvious. I tried and tried, but couldn’t figure out a way to view in full screen.)
David
Amen to the true note-taking technique using just a stylus. I really want to eliminate my pen and spiral notebook at meetings, and no, typing on a glass keyboard does not/will not cut it. I don’t need handwriting recognition, or handwriting conversion to text, I just need the image stored and tag-able (searchable would be a nice to have). Please help me “go green” and lose my pen and paper!
Jeff Andrews
I’m planning to use Evernote on my iPad to go paperless. I serve on city council and Evernote is great for storing and reading the large amount of material we receive and need to read each week.
However, I desperately need the ability to annotate PDF files! I take the paper packet of material delivered each week, quickly scan it to a folder which Evernote automatically is monitoring. And there it is in Evernote. It’s great. But then, I need the ability to highlight areas of the PDF and add comments/questions.
Any chance that’s coming soon? I’ve tried using iAnnotate PDF but the GUI and design pales in comparison to Evernote!
Thanks,
Jeff
Tjerja Geerts
hi, Is there any possibility you can transfer that new ipad black user interface to the macbook pro / macbook air as well? I’ve been using evernote on my macbook/iphone 3G, and just love your new clean ipad interface. The cleaner the better. If you could add ‘date/time’ reminders with the notes, it would be my favorite Getting Things Done app. I’ll toss away all others then…
Cheers, T.G.
Matthew Whitcher
I cannot use an image in my notes. When I select an image it imports it and uses it as the image thumbnail. Great. I save and exit. Then I reopen the App and get a message saying I need to append or copy my note. If I select append my note is empty. If I select copy the text is still there but the image is gone. Every time. Any image. Doesn’t crash on me that much. Can you please fix this issue? Much appreciated.
April Bell
Thanks for this. I am an avid Evernote user and I was one of the first ones on the list to purchase the new iPad, primarily for the (hopeful) future ability to take notes via a stylus electronically. I need this desperately and believe that the iPad will eventually beat PC tablets capabilities. I am REALLY hoping that Evernote will lead the effort in creating the ability to write on the iPad. If not, someone will. Your tagging system and other awesome features will be enhanced with “note taking” ability.
Kiko Lobo
SKETCHING SKETCHING SKETCHING…
Please allow the strokes to be objects that one can move around or delete… And have some straighten features to help on bad handwriting
Nutela
I just upgraded after reading that’ll you’ll add drawing, hope to see it on the Mac version too, the new multitouch trackpads are awesome!
Thanks for a great product!
Elizabeth
Evernote is a terrific clipping tool. Since the iPad makes it possible to read other documents, how about some kind of Evernote widget or gesture or something that can let us grab segments of other documents we are reading, tag them, and store them in notes? In particular, I’m a doctoral student, and I’m reading a LOT of journal articles in PDF. I then have to write papers that cite these articles. What I desperately need is a tool to let me read PDFs, HTML, etc., select text with my finger or a stylus, add a tag from a pull-down, and move on; afterward I want to be able to go into a repository of all my saved snippets and find quotes related to specific tags. I need those quotes to remember where they came from, so I can cite them appropriately. (Ideally, I’d put in metadata like author, date, journal, etc. when first opening the articles with the Evernote function.)
This would definitely be worth Premium membership to me. (And it would be a justification for me to buy an iPad.)
Andrew Sinkov
Elizabeth, That’s a great suggestion. There are a number of iPhone/iPad apps that have integrated Evernote (the list is available here: http://www.evernote.com/about/integration/ ). It’s through these sorts of integrations that we get the type of functionality that you’re suggesting. We’re somewhat limited by the operating system right now, but we hope to be able to do more of it ourselves in future versions of the iPhone OS.
Geoff Douglas
EVERNOTE Rocks! I am watching closely, when you all add the function to hand write notes with the ipad, I will buy just for that feature. I also think that would be a cool feature for the iphone/ipod touch, as well…
Maybe like those art apps (i.e. brushes) where you can zoom up and edit details, then zoom out to see the entire page.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Cathie Turner
Does anyone else have this problem. E works fine on Mac and iphone. On iPad I get only notes from last June and July. I have the premium version. I would like to get rid of it because there is no way to contact support when you have a problem not on FAQ, forum, etc. but E is just too good a program.
Jim
I’m voting with everyone else here that being able to draw would be a great addition to Evernote on the iPad.
However, what I would really like to see is the ability to annotate a PDF or other document. I read a lot of medical literature which is all distributed in PDF format and this would be priceless if you could come up with a way to add this feature.
Thank you so much for all the hard work thus far – keep it up!
J
Lyria
Just read your strategy on developing Evernote for the iPad. Love your design process! Carrying around a cardboard facsimile was a terrific idea. Think I’ll try this concept on my development team in the future! Congrats on a beautiful implementation!
randomlinuxuser
Dear Evernote developers,
Congrats on getting an ipad version of evernote up and running in 60 days………perhaps I can look forward to seeing evernote for linux in 30 days? 15 days ? “Tonite” ?
It just saddens my heart to see a great dev team go ga-ga over yet another “i-thing” and ignore the vast user base you can build in the linux world.
When I lived in the Windows neighbourhood, Evernote was awesome. I miss it dearly on my Ubuntu box, (though I am don’t miss Windows or Mac).

Could the mapping feature integrate with mind mapping software? I use iBlueSky on my iphone and mindmeister on my PC. It would be wonderful to be able to sync notes to mindmap nodules!
Andrew Sinkov
Joy, thanks for the suggestion.
David Wessner
Another vote for handwriting notes in ink and also recognition from an old Newton person. It is still invaluable in taking notes while attending to another person. Go for it!
I would also ask that you take a hard look at the functionality of OneNote in being able to drag and drop individual note lines vertically and horizontally (parent, sibling, daughter) so it can work as an idea generator and rearrangement tool. I believe Newton did this too. I can’t find it anywhere for Mac.
rick
I must be missing something. I don’t see any way to save a Safari webpage to Evernote from my iPad. Is that something that can only be done on a Mac or PC?
Andrew Sinkov
Rick, if you have the Evernote bookmarklet in Safari on Mac, you can set iTunes to sync bookmarklets to the iPad. We’re looking into expanding the bookmarklet functionality.
Cheryll
Hi there. Love Evernote. Nice on the iPad. I really have one feature requests, but two ways to do it:
1) Inter-app Document Sharing. So if I have a PDF, I’d like the option to preview in Evernote or open in GoodReader. Not like I’ll be making changes to the PDF anyway. I know that gets more complicated when it comes to a document or spreadsheet. Can’t wait to see a solution that opens in your preferred app then saves it back into Evernote.
2) If possible, assign some kind of download string to an attached file because a lot of applications can directly download a file given a string. Not sure how you’d save the changes, maybe another email string to upload it back?
I store all my files in Evernote, but am thinking I may need to go to Dropbox or Google Docs for that feature since a lot of the apps I use will work directly with Dropbox or Google Docs. Before I do something like that, I wanted to see if there will be an improved workflow update for Evernote.
Andrew Sinkov
Thanks for the suggestions.

EVERNOTE KEEPS CRASHING ON MY IPAD AT CRITICAL MOMENTS!
Marcel
Great product! I can no longer live without Evernote and when I got my new iPad: booooom, here it is ! Just wonderful.
I only wish I could install it into iPad’s Safari as in my desktop to generate new notes from my browsing …
Andrew Sinkov
Marcel, on the iPad Settings in iTunes on the desktop you can have it sync bookmarks. When you do that, and set the iPad Safari to show bookmarks, you’ll have the bookmark in iPad Safari.
Andrew Sinkov
Marcel, you can set iTunes on the desktop to sync Safari bookmarks to your iPad. Then on the iPad settings have it show bookmarks. Doing that will display the bookmarklet in iPad Safari allowing you to clip pages.
Bill
As noted by Theresa and Steve, the ability for Evernote to handle writing on the iPad screen with a stylus would be great! How long ’til you blow us away with that functionality?
Andrew Sinkov
We are looking it adding drawing capabilities to the iPad.
Kasey
Will you have offline viewing of notes on iPad version? I desperately need that feature.
Andrew Sinkov
Kasey, Offline viewing is currently available for Premium users. Premium users can select to have any/all notebooks stored locally on the iPad. For Free users, we store any note that you view locally.
Richard Twyning
I have to laugh at people going out to buy a stylus when they could have got a more powerful tablet PC for the same price that included a stylus, a camera, oh, and full support for the Windows version of Evernote.
I can’t believe time’s been wasted on developing for iPad when Windows Mobile needs a full version that includes offline notes.
Evernote is already suported on proper tablets!
I wish Apple would go away and stop slowing down progress!
Olen Ronning
Another vote for inking capability, please! I second the sentiment that handwriting recognition is *not* needed. As a designer, having a way to capture *visual* (i.e. sketched) notes is critical. Having that ink respond quickly, naturally, and beautifully is important.
Feature Idea:
Since the iPad does not have pressure sensitivity (like wacom), you’ll need some algorithm to get accurate thick/thin lines. For example, it could be based on speed (fast strokes = thin lines, slow strokes = thick lines, holding pen in one spot = pooling ink). A more advanced algorithm would interpret the size of the touch point (e.g. how hard you’re pressing with your finger and thus how much of the surface of your finger is in contact with the screen) – but I doubt the iPad SDK provides such capability.
Looking forward to the update!
Andrew Sinkov
Thanks for the suggestion
Kish
Will Evernote work on the cardboard version of the iPad you developed? That’s more in my price range and will consider getting it if it’s supported.
You guys are the best!
-Kish
Curt Dalaba
I put all my pdf fields in Evernote. Is there a way to interface these with GoodReader, so I can read them there?
Andrew DiNardo
I love the app. Would love to see an iPad browser plugin if it is possible
abadidea
Hi, I’m going to be trying out Evernote specifically because I am highly impressed by the R&D commitment to a good UI experience you guys show in this post.
Paul Brody
I’ll add my vote for inking. I’ve tried a whole lot of them out there, and there are some good ones. The single greatest thing would be something that would help manage the issue of palm detection. I want to write but it’s quite unnatural to write without letting any part of your hand touch the “paper.”
Inklet, for the mac, makes it work, I’m wondering if you can achieve the same! I’d buy that instantly for a premium feature.
