Studying is rarely fun. It’s necessary, it’s important, but normally not what you want to be doing. Studying with Evernote Peek is an exception. Our addictive learning app, designed for the iPad 2 Smart Cover, blends digital and analog to create a studying experience that’s both new and familiar at the same time. Today, we introduce the new Evernote Peek, now available for all iPads. No Smart Cover required!
The Evernote Peek Virtual Cover
Peek was inspired by the iPad 2 Smart Cover, but not everyone has a Smart Cover, nor an iPad 2. Knowing this led us to develop a swipeable Virtual Cover that maintains the dynamics of a Smart Cover, but could be used with any iPad. Now, when you launch Peek, you’ll be able to swipe down a tab and select a Virtual Cover of your choice—it’s available in 10 colors.
From there, it’s just like using a real Smart Cover. Choose your study materials, close the cover, peek to see the clue, open the cover more to see the answer. Shut the cover and repeat. All this is done by simply swiping the screen. You may need to enable the Virtual Cover in the application settings.
Of course, Peek is still best experienced with an iPad 2 and a real Apple Smart Cover, but the Virtual Cover provides a nice alternative.
Get studying
Whether you’re prepping for finals or planning a foreign getaway, Peek will help you get ready. Select a notebook from your Evernote account or choose from some of the great content that we provide you. We include some fun trivia, language exercises, and even decorating tips from Martha Stewart.
Creating new study materials is easy. All you need to do is make a notebook in Evernote. The titles of the notes will become the clues and the body of the notes will become the answers. To fit into the Peek interface, the titles shouldn’t exceed one sentence and the body should stay under three sentences. That’s all. When you sync Evernote and sync Peek, the notebooks will appear ready for studying.
New materials from VisitEurope.com
The newest additions to Evernote Peek are five notebooks from VisitEurope. Learn about Western, Central and Eastern Europe, as well as Scandinavia and the Mediterranean. Ever wonder what “Minho” is, or where to find a pub tram? Now you can find out. They’ve even incorporated some audio clues.
Let us know what you think of the new virtual cover.

…and by ‘gravlaks’, I’m guessing your mean ‘gravlax’, a Swedish dish, served around the holidays… Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravlax

Everything does not come from Sweden… Gravlaks is quite right, and refers to the Norwegian or Danish way of spelling the name of the dish.

Oh snap! Sweden, are you gonna take that from Norway??
Annemarie Krarup
In danish it’s “gravad laks”

Is this going to be available for Android tablets as well?
Rhys Morgan
This is an amazing idea. Would be great if you could provide/partner with someone to provide real world study materials for KS1 – A level standard etc and languages.
I would use it all the time and it would be great for the kids….
Well done
Ivo
sounds great! still…it would be so nice if you would give android the same attention you do apple…
Dan (@dgp1)
It would be nice if Android handset manufacturers gave you the same attention Apple gives
If the Android platform doesn’t meet your needs, why not kick it to the curb? Try out Windows Mobile or iOS with an open mind.

NEED this for Kindle Fire!

Think it would be great to have and iPhone version – a lot of younger students only have phones or iPod touches and this would be great for them.

I would like to have an update where larger pictures can be included, I have many classes that have charts and diagrams that I have to remember it would be nice to include this features.
