Evernote for iPhone and iPad Update: Major fixes and improvements, plus a new feature

April 13, 2010 | Posted by Phil Libin in Product updates
 

Great news. Apple just approved the newest version of Evernote for iPhone/iPad/iPod (v3.3.2). Here are the highlights of this version:

Big fixes

  • Fixed all known syncing and crashing bugs that affected some users of the previous version, including the notorious “u2″ sync bug. We started referring to that one as, “where the bug has no name”. Happily, we can stop now.
  • Significantly improved the sync performance on both iPhone and iPad, especially during the “Syncing headers” phase.
  • iPad version now geotags new notes, if location data is available
  • Fixed issues with some third-party apps integrations.
  • Several searching and maps improvements.
  • Improvements to the audio recorder on the iPad.
  • Evernote should run on iPhone OS 3.1.2 and above. The previous version required 3.1.3.

Full screen view

Finally, we added a much-requested new feature to the iPad version. You’ll now see a set of small arrows in the upper left corner of the note. Click them to toggle between the split-screen view and a new full-screen note view. This is great when reading a long note, viewing a big picture or scrolling through a PDF and works in both portrait and landscape modes.

Evernote 3.3.2 will start appearing in the AppStore over the next couple of hours, so please check for updates. Thanks for your patience during this upgrade cycle. The introduction of the iPad made everything a bit crazy for a few days, but it looks like things are back to normal. As always, please contact our support team if you have any problems and we’ll be happy to help. Look for lots of new features for both the iPad and iPhone versions in future releases and tell us how we can continue making Evernote even better.

[A quick update: you may still see the "u2" error under rare conditions on the iPhone for the next few hours. It'll go away for good tomorrow (Wednesday) evening, when we do a server update to clean up the last traces of the problem. You won't have to upgrade your iPhone version again; the server reboot will take care of it. In the meantime, this is a relatively mild bug. If you get a u2 error it means you just made an empty note on your iPhone. Just edit the note and add a few characters of text to the body (not just the title). That'll make it sync without problems. Don't just delete the empty note, because then you'll have to fish it out of the trash to edit it.]

    The Evernote is almost the #1 app for the ipad in my opinion. There is one major feature that I need or find a way to overcome. How/when will the ability to do handwritten notes via a stylus be supported by Evernote? This is key for me jumping my whole team to this app full time. Please make this feature a priority!

    And not only handwritten notes, but annotatable PDFs too!

    I would really welcome bullets and table controls on the iPad version.

    I don’t seem to be able to take notes w/o bullets anymore.

    Otherwise, I love this app!

      To be honest, evernote on the i-pad is just a toy without the ability to create tick boxes and tables. So come on guys, and how about keeping version features across platforms the same.

    I agree with Daniel Powers. Just sent an email to Evernote, when can we gt an app like penultimate to interact directly with evernote without having to creare pdf and sending it to my evernote account?

    Any Evernote associate responded to Daniel yet?

    TYPS!!

    I love Evernote too! I just got the premium upgrade yesterday, and it’s great. But I’d be really happy if I could annotate/highlight PDFs, both on the desktop and on iPad. Being able to search and highlight PDFs directly from the iPad app would be awesome!

    Thanks for the great app!
