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.

Ok.. I am really new to this.. acutally I have the Ipad still in the box as I am not sure yet… I want what I think evernote will supply.. an electronic notebook that I can write on the screen with with a ??? Stylus?(the one that the apple store had looked more like a little paint brush tip) and then save the notes by topic and maybe convert it to text. What is inking that ppl are asking for? Also where are these notes than stored? Do I need to be connected to then get the notes?
Andrew Sinkov
Angela, notes you create on your iPad will be stored both on the iPad and on the Evernote servers. By storing your notes on the servers, you will also be able to access them from other computers either through Evernote Web or by installing Evernote for Mac or Windows on your desktop. Currently, Evernote for iPad does not support writing, though it is something that we are looking into.
Adam
PLEASE consider supporting a stylus for EVERNOTE! i love EVERNOTE and even more that i can use it on my IPAD now… I am really trying to get rid of my ‘notebook’ and I am so close!! however sometimes that “drawing”/note taking ability with a pen/stylus is just irreplaceable.. (well at this point anyways)..
while typing on the IPAD is VERY NICE, especially with the landscape keyboard.. typing just doesn’t fit a meeting when you are with a customer one-one… or even in a board room with customers.. somehow having a PEN just makes it look more professional and easier to take notes… perhaps that my own perceptions/ignorance.. but i am sure if you search online that many people are looking for that ONE note taking application for the IPAD with Stylus support. i know EVERNOTE can be THE APP! please consider in your development!
ipad users
I agree..the ability to enter notes with a stylus for this application would be perfect. its just not professional to be in a meeting and typing away. looks better writing.
Kara M
I love evernote, but I am so completely disappointed that the Evernote app for iPad doesn’t support handwriting/ink notes like the version on tablet machines and even my Mac supports ink notes. How could you NOT think that was a critical thing to support on the device – even if all I write with is my finger and I never buy a stylus. Please, please, please support ink notes on the iPad – and soon!!
otomo
Since you are so quick with an Ipad version I wonder why it took you so long to come up with a halfway decent Windows Desktop version?
Sarre9
Otomo,
That is easy. The development environment that Apple supplies for free is so powerful that an experienced developer can mock up and produce a visually pleasing application pretty quickly. One can almost do the same on Windows, it just takes a bit more … talent.

Mark Braggins
Is there a clipper for iPad so you copy and paste content from other apps e.g email and web page into Evernote notes? If so, how do I find it please? Thanks for your help
Andrew Sinkov
Unfortunately, the iPad/iPhone/iPod operating system doesn’t allow one app to add features into another app. The best option from email is to use your Evernote email address to forward things into your account. The address is located in the iPad’s Sync menu. For web pages, if you install our bookmarklet in Mac Safari, you can have that bookmark sync to the iPad.
Mark Braggins
Thanks Andrew – I will do as you suggest
Rob cima
Hi Andrew,
Take a look at how the Instapaper app is allowing web clipping. It’s clunky to set up, but it works. Sure would be nice to have something similar for Evernote.
Rob
iPad Tutorial Videos
Thanks Guys!
You have really created a great application and it looks even better on the iPad.
On my laptops and Desktop computers i’m so used to using the webclipper it is indeed quite sad its not available under Safari.
I wonder whether the Opera mini which is now available on the iPad would be able to get the Evernote web-clipper plugin?
Andrew Sinkov
You can get the clipper on the iPad by first installing the bookmarklet in Safari on your desktop. Then, choose to sync your bookmarks to the iPad. On the iPad make sure to display bookmarks, and the clipper will be there.
Colby
Thanks for the reply and suggestion. Will the addition of the checkboxes from the iPad be available in the next update? I would love that!
Jim
OK,I’ll bite — how does one install the “bookmarket” into Safari on the iPad?
Andrew Sinkov
Jim, Install our bookmarklet into Safari on your computer. Set your iTunes to sync bookmarks. In iPad Safari preferences, set it to display bookmarks. Now, when you launch Safari, you’ll see the Clip to Evernote bookmarklet.
Michael Price
Andrew, does this work for the Windows version of Safari as well?
Paul Turnbull
Done this however clicking the bookmarklet launched the App store and found Evernote there. :/
Kate
I’d like to see how to install a “bookeret” also, thanks.
Ant
Also need to know how to bookmarked
Reid
On the iPad it is easy to clip webpages or anything you see by holding down the power button and then pressing the round home button. This takes a snapshot of the screen and saves it to your pictures. You can then import any saved picture on your iPad into an Evernote! Cool huh!
Megan Pate
Instapaper has found a clunky but effective way to add web clipping to iPad safari. I really wish Evernote could work something out like that too so that I wouldn’t have to close safari and open Evernote in order to clip to a note. The way I use Evernote, not having web clipping almost makes it unusable on the iPad.
Also, the ability to filter notes by both notebook and tag (ie only show tags that are used in a certain notebook) wouod be really helpful.
@Reid – thanks for the tip on taking screen shots!
Adam
http://chrisbray.com/a-not-so-easy-way-to-add-bookmarklets-to-safa
Here we go. The bookmark let code. No need to synch things with iTunes
doug carmichael
can i get evernote to capture anything copied to clipboard? Without going out of the clipped from app and opening evernote and then having to close evernote and reopen the app?
Colby
How do you make a to-do list with boxes to check off!!?? This should be easy to find and do on iPad and iPhone apps. Either I’m blind or it doesn’t exist!
Andrew Sinkov
Colby, you can create checkboxes on the desktop and then check them off on the iPad. You cannot create new checkboxes from the iPad at this time.
Kate
Can you explain this? Checkboxes on the desktop.
Lori
I have Evernote for iPhone and also on my MacbookPro. I access it from the website too. I’ve ordered the iPad 3G and am waiting patiently. Will Evernote continue to not allow editing of Rich Text notes on the iPhone and is it the same on the iPad? I love the program but will not continue to use it unless I can add without the original being moved to the trash. I am so surprised that such a wonderful program is so inconsistent. Very frustrating!!
Andrew Sinkov
Lori, We are working on ways to improve the rich text handling.
Suejin
I have the same need. I use Evernote (on my iPad, iPhone, web versions) for work and personal projects. For work it’s essential that I add tasks to already existing note I’ve created while in meetings, etc on my iPad (or iPhone). Love the product, but this is one serious frustration. Is it close on the roadmap? Thank you!
Bruce
This is my #1 most needed enhancement, as a very typical use case is to draft on the desktop, and complete on my iPad. Please.
RJ
It’s great to hear that you are looking into rich text on the iPad. The ability to bold text, create bullet lists etc. improves the quality and organization of notes considerably.
Phil
Just chiming in here — the lack of Rich Text editing on the iPad and iPhone is the only thing preventing me from using Evernote for all my notetaking needs. As much as I despise those who say “I would upgrade if it had it”, this would be a necessary feature before I’d even consider upgrading to a Premium subscription.
Alexandra
I want to add my vote for this one too. I’ve started using evernote more consistently only in the past two weeks. I have it on my laptop, desktop, ipad, and ipod touch and the lack of rich text editing on the ipad is very disappointing. It is a crucial feature for me and one that keeps me from getting a premium account.
Leon Pryor
I have to agree the lack of Rich text editing is really bad.
Saivan
Being able to edit my Existing notes would be a great addition to the iPad version,
This is very necessary functionality that should have been present on launch.
I must commend you for your continued great work though,
I would love to see this feature implemented on the iPad version of Evernote
Andrew Sinkov
You can edit existing notes by opening the note and tapping on the pencil icon.
Saivan
Yes but that gets rid of all of my formatting and adds my images as attachments,
It’s not the same as using a rich text editor.
Doug lawrence
I purchased the premium fro a year and then discovered I could not see my notes detail on my ipad so I think I have to go to mobleme
Doug
Trukadero
Just adding my voice/vote here…rich text editing on iPad is a deal-breaker for me. Without it I can’t use Evernote going forward. Everything else about the app is terrific so this omission stands out in contrast. Hoping its appearance is imminent.
SteveW
Need Rich text please!!!!
iPhoneConnection
Wow, you guys are seriously gods at supporting multiple platforms.
Keep up the good work! We love evernote.
Pablo
Can you annotate PDFs on evernote?
Charles
How can I ensure that the whole shared database is up-to-date on the iPad, so that I have access to everything when I am out of wifi range?
Andrew Sinkov
Charles, I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “shared database.” If you’re talking about notebooks that are synchronized among your different computers, then the way to have them saved on the iPad is to become a Premium subscriber (http://www.evernote.com/about/premium). Once you’re Premium, you tap on the Sync icon in the iPad app and choose Offline Notebooks, then you select the notebooks that you want to be saved on the device.
Bart
I’m a premium subscriber and just tried ever note on my new iPad. I must say that I’m very impressed by amount of work you guys did to prepare Ipad version of evernote. I see three issues that you might consider:
- hoppy experience when sliding multi-page PDFs
- no support for table of contents in PDFs (in Mac you could always use preview, on iPad you can’t
- no side slider to move quickly between pages (you have to scroll them one by one)
Despite those issues I believe that you delivered great experience to all of your users, speaking for myself – I just love iPad version. In handles my multigig library better than my Mac.
Bart
Nielsbox
Congrats on this beautiful iPad app, keep up the good work guys…
I discovered one bug; when I edit a typed note and also rename it, it seems that the original file name still exists on the iPad. when you click (click, point, tap, whatever) the original file name the app exits.
oh, and if I may suggest one thing it would be handwritten notes (stylus).

Hi Andrew,
I was wondering if you could help me install the evernote bookmarklet in my Ipad’s Safari.
What am i missing?
1. I have have the “clipper” installed on my desktop safari
2. I have “always show bookmarks” selected in my ipad safari preferences
but I don’t see the clipper
Can you help?
Thanks
Andrew Sinkov
You need to have the Clip to Evernote bookmarklet installed.
Lori
I have been searching and I’m sure it must be right in front of me but where is the “Clip to Evernote bookmarklet”??? FOR THE IPAD.
Andrew Sinkov
You can find the bookmarklet at the very bottom of this page: http://www.evernote.com/about/download/web_clipper.php
Kate
I”m looking for this also. Thanks
Stephanie Swaney
I love Evernote, but it is very frustrating to be limited to the best features on a PC only. Are you considering making the same options available when creating a new note on the ipad/iphone app that are available on the desktop version: check list, to do, bullet points, size and style for fonts, etc. I am now using my iPad far more than my PC, so I am finding it very limiting to use on the go. These enhancements would make Evernote the only app I need for notes, to do’s and lists! Are there any plans for this in the near future?
Andrew Sinkov
We learned a lot during our iPad design and development process. You’ll begin seeing those concepts trickle into the desktop versions too.
Matt mmWine Horbund
Still waiting to hear about a few features:
1)handwriting within the iPad app – I’d like to handwrite notes, then be able to tag them so they’re searchable. Would be great if they could be treated like pics, scanned on server and OCR’d – but I’d be happy just being able to write my notes like a piece of paper, and then save and tag them later.
2)Setting alarms for notes – would be great to have an iPhone/iPad alert set to a note so I could use it as a ToDo list, reminder, or meeting agenda. I believe you CANT integrate it with iCal, which is a shame – because that would be awesome. However, it’s own alarms/push notifications would be welcome.
3)Ability to link to a note from another note. For example, I use Evernote to keep information about wines, the grapes they are made of, and the region of the grape. I would like very much to start out with the bottle of wine in my BOTTLE notebook, say “Gilbert Picq Chablis” – and have that note reference the region Chablis in my REGION notebook, as well as CHARDONNAY in my Grape notebook. They should be editable hyperlinks that let me go from one to the other, with breadcrumbs back to the last note(s). I should be able to pop from bottle to region to grape back to region or bottle, etc. I would of course have to do the links myself – but it shouldnt be hard.
Still holding out on buying an iPad – the handwriting of notes is really key there. I want to use the iPad instead of pen and paper.
Thanks
Matt
Andrew Sinkov
Great suggestions. Thanks.
monica
I use Firefox on my mac so is there a way to install the bookmarklet directly to the iPad without using the sync function?
Sheila
I am a premium user and my Evernote notebooks keep everything I can figure out how to include! Count me as another vote for stylus/handwritten notes on the iPad.
Also it would be great to clip from newspaper and magazine apps so that I could keep things like restaurant reviews, travel ideas, etc. that I now take a snapshot note of from paper sources that are all being replaced with their iPad equivalents! If iPad could have some screenshot capability tied to Evernote??
Thanks for the great work on the latest platform for Evernote, the iPad! Cant wait to see the next features added.
tblakeslee
Thanks for the great app. I wish I could get the same 2-column view on my PC.
I usually use bold and italics to emphasize in my notes (Usually added when I read them over later) I con’t see how to do that on the iPad though.
Lori
Thank you for helping but I’m eriously confused. I’m not able to drag the bookmarklet on my iPad. Am I missing something?
Andrew Sinkov
Lori, you need to drag the bookmarklet into Safari on your desktop, enable bookmark sync in iTunes, then set your iPad to display bookmarks.
larry
Does evernote have a screen reader for vision impared folks?
Lloyd Tapper
Is it possible to save a photo note to my photo library?
Andrew Sinkov
Lloyd, I assume you’re referring to iPhone. You can’t save an image from within Evernote into your photo library. The best option is to email the note from Evernote to your personal email address. You’ll be able to save the image from there.
Pavan Bhargava
How long of an audio recording can evernote store? I would like to use it for recording college lectures, which may be around an hour to 2 hours long.
Andrew Sinkov
It depends on the device that you’re using. iPhone/iPod/iPad allow for 20 minutes of recording from within the application. You can attach an audio file of up to 25MB if you’re a Free user and 50MB if you’re Premium. For lectures attaching the audio file to a note may be the best option.
Kasparoff
And what about images from the web? Can i add some to my notes?
Lori
Okay. So, what’s the difference between “Clip to Evernote” on your bookmark bar and clicking on the Evernote icon on the toolbar?
Andrew Sinkov
The answer is: it depends. It depends on the browser that you’re using. Generally speaking, extensions that you install into the browser produce a higher quality clip. Also, the bookmarklet always sends your clips into the web service. Some of our extensions (Safari, Firefox) send the clip into the desktop version if one is installed.
Mike Prusse
I looked at the iPad version today to experiment with checklists. I opened my Evernote account on the iPad and found a note with several check boxes. To my happy surprise, the checkboxes were all there on the iPad version (unlike the iPhone version) just as they were on my Mac version. I was almost sold on buying an iPad. Unfortunately, however, when I arrived back at my Mac and looked at that same note again, all of the checkboxes were gone and only the text remained.
Is this a sign of the rich text problem still?
martin luke
The most annoying thing that is limiting my use of evernote is the inconsistency of fonts of my notes. Even though I have selected a font for my notes when i review my notes they are all over the place. Can this be fixed – please?
John De Ville
What really required is all the functionality that you have for the Windows thin client on the IPAD. Is this your goal for future releases?
Also do you have a road map for the IPAD client so we can see when these enhancements come about?
Charles Gates
I love this app! Keep up the great work!
Brian
This is the app that will make me buy an ipad. I LOVE EVERNOTE.
René
Yeah, I am not using Evernote much yet, but it probably would be my most used app on an iPad basically filling in the lack of a “user filesystem”. Drawing would be essential. It should be like Penultimate or PaperDesk. I even would pay a small amount for such an app.
Harry
Hi I too am a premium user and love Evernote, it’s changed the way I work…. I use it on my Mac book every day. However I too am frustrated about the restrictions in the iPad version. Ritch text is a must, but my biggest frustration is that to keep my note in tack I have to append and that is added to the bottom off the note. I use Evernote as an uber things to do list with embedded email and higlighted actions. If I have to append then I need it to append at the top of the note as my latest action needs to be in view and top down. Hope this makes sence. I have tried copy to note and yes I can put my amendments at the top but that trashes the note. Can you give a time scale for fixing this? As it stands my iPad is relegated to a “reader” of my notes…not qute what I was expecting.
Cheers
Harry G
Daan
Is there a way that files attached to the emails I send to the evernote adress will be stored as seperate notes in stead of being an attachment to my email? That way I can fill evernote much more easy.
Andrew Sinkov
No, the email content and the file will be placed into the same note.
Sean Merrick
I am in sales and I am hoping to replace my paper notebook with the IPAD with Evernote but it seems to lack one fundamental ability … ability to write notes freehand. Typing is not an acceptable practice in front of customers. Can you tell me when you will be offering this feature?
Kristjan
I think its worth noting and I dont think it has been mentioned here yet; for The bookmarklet to work on your iPad you need to have signed in to your account using the web interface and checked the remember me checkbox.
Matt
Hi – if you could allow video uploads that would make ne drop YouTube and flicker for my cloud storage. My perfect storage site would have images, voice, video, text, sketch, and sync to all my devices.
Ning
Evernote has been working beautifully with my iPad – kudos to the team for the work. A little point to note that I understand is in progress: While rich text may take some time, my concern is largely bullet lists. If there is a way to incorporate bullet points sooner than rich-text support comes, it’ll be very very much appreciated – or at least, to view them. So far I’ve been using the hyphen (-) in lieu of bullet points and that requires switching to another keypad pane, which greatly stunts the workflow.
Raymond Peck
I’ve been using Evernote on OS-X, iPod Touch and Android for a few weeks now and am loving it. I’ve been using the web clipper feature for most of my input so far, using “clip selection” for web pages that have ads, sidebars and so on but which don’t have a clean printer version of the page.
It seems like the Safari bookmarklet for iPad would only clip the entire page. If you are able to add the ability to web clip a selection I will buy an iPad immediately.
I haven’t done iOS programming, but perhaps there’s a way to embed the browser functionality in Evernote to allow you to do this? Or perhaps clip-from-clipboard would be functional enough to get all the formatting / images / etc?
This would be a *huge* thing for me, and would rid my house of the piles of newspapers and magazines with articles I don’t have time to clip and save.
Phil
I love evernote for the ipad – will it run on a Newton?
Syl
I’m confused. I’m not a premium member, but with my iPhone app, Evernote allowed me to specify favorites that were saved on my iPhone. I can’t find this functionality on the iPad – has it been removed ?
Andrew Sinkov
On the iPad, whenever you create or view a note, that note is automatically saved locally, which means that you will be able to view that note even when offline. This is essentially the same functionality as Favorites.
Jim
Been comparing your app against paper desk and penultimate. Am trying to replace my ever-present legal pad with my iPad. Think your app is most promising but will for now use the other apps because I can’t create more than one notebook on the iPad. Trying to avoid having to use two different devices. if you could make the text box look more like a legal pad it would appeal to us legal types. Also larger font sizes would be great. It would be helpful to have a record button without having to press the new note button. Like that you can use your smartphone to take pictures and send to evernote. Can’t imagine how hard it is to develop something as useful as your app so hats off to you.
Cuznwal
In an earlier response you state that notes created on iPad will be stored on the iPad. What about those created on my Mac? On the iPod touch I would sync while connected to wifi and mark as a favorite. I often create meeting notes at my desk and need to refer to them while out in the field and not connected. Thanks I love your product.
Fiona
Came across a site that helps make adding bookmarklets on iPad easier – with full instructions:

Thanks, Fiona! This is wonderful
lisa
finally!! an answer as to how to add the bookmarklet. I was driving myself crazy!!
marty
I just installed Evernote for Android on my HTC Droid Incredible but whenever I try to listen to an audio note recorded on my iPhone, it says that it can not play the audio file. What’s up with that?
Lise
Love the notes stacks (by notebook) in iPad! Here’s my wishlist (not only iPad, but also app in general):
- more formatting tools (strike-out, better table tools, etc.)
- Ability to put a collection of notebooks on a particular “bookshelf” or “tab”, etc. similar to the way OneNote does. So that all of my work Notebooks are in one section (personal, etc)
- ability to format notes like OneNote (allows better use of the page) and ability to create multiple columns/boxes easily.
- ability to have audio notes transcribed to text (could be additional pay service)
- ability to apply different “templates” to notes. (to do lists, GTD, recipes, etc.)
Thanks again for a great product… look forward to the future releases!
Jerry
Will evernote ever support linking notes together. I am looking for a good notebook replacement, but there will have to be a way for me to link the notes to one another in order to produce a sort of wiki. Is there any future plans to support this type of feature? Also when do you think you will have the Writing support that is desired?
Japhia
I wonder if the new verion for iPad supports offline reading. You know it’s very critical feature for iPad with Wifi Only.
Waiting for you reply….
Andrew Sinkov
It does support offline reading. Here’s how
- Free users: you can read notes offline that you created on the iPad or previously viewed on the iPad
- Premium users: in the Sync tab choose the notebook and make it an offline notebook. You’ll be able to view all the notebook content offline.
Car Share Dave
Hi had a look at this on a mate iPad the other day and it really is very impressive. Even with the fairly low memory on the iPad the app works really well.
Dani
I have been using Evernote for ages on PC, Mac and iPhone and absolutely love it. However I have to join in with the nagging to get handwriting on the iPad version. I’m so close to dropping $10 on Writepad it’s not even funny. Do you have a timeline for introducing this functionality? Don’t know if I can wait
Yours hopefully
Andy
seconding Dani’s comments above and many others about inking (although I’m not bothered if it recognises my handwriting as you’d be lucky to!).
I basically want OneNote but on my IPad as I have used this for a couple of years but the tablet HP is to hot and heavy compared to the IPad as well as only lasting a couple of hours on the battery.
Evernote is so close but I need to be able to write in meetings as typing is not professional as eluded to above – if you could please give a vague timescale it would help hugely (days, weeks, months etc)?
Richard
Maybe I am missing something, but why do you like the “thumbnail” view options that seem to predominate in your iPad version of Evernote? Thumbnails amount to nothing but useless “eye candy” and a serious waste of screen real estate. Searching over a “grid” of a dozen or so useless images horizontally and vertically to find a particular note (in a subdued font, no less) is not nearly as quick or efficient as scanning down a list. Why not a list option for viewing content, as in every other version of E that I have used?
How serious is the problem? Well, for ME it means that I just don’t use E on my iPad any more, despite the facts that I use E more than any other application on ALL my other platforms and am usingrickcast the iPad more and more. In fact, the iPad version is so user-unfriendly that I am experimenting with alternative note taking and syncing applications.
How hard would it be for you guys to fix this problem? Seemingly, not very hard at all. Lose the eye candy!
