Note sharing improvements

Evernote for Android makes it easy to share select memories with whomever you like. In this update, we’ve increased the control you have over shared notes and also made sharing options more accessible.

We’ve redesigned the sharing screen completely. Now, when you share a single note, the URL appears at the top of the sharing screen. If at any point you decide to stop sharing, tap on the Disable URL option. Once you deactivate a shared note, the link will stop working for everyone that you shared with.

There are now several ways to access the sharing menu:

  • Tap and hold the note in the note list
  • When viewing a note, tap the Menu button
  • When viewing a note, tap on the down arrow in the note title bar

Notebook type icons

We’re always looking for ways to give you as much information at-a-glace as possible. In this update, we’ve added icons that indicate notebook type. When you view your notebook list, you’ll see whether a notebook has been shared with an individual, the world, or not at all. It’s a great way to quickly know the state of each notebook.

Faster access to editing and options

We’ve added a pencil icon to the note title bar when you’re viewing a note. Tap this icon to edit note content. Tap the arrow next to the edit icon to view a bunch of additional note-related options.

And more…

We’ve also improved our login and registration flows, fixed lots of bugs and made the app just plain better. Stay tuned, we have lots more in store.

    I plan to use the HTC Sensation XL as a main internet communications device, as a photo camera and for my studies since I don’t have much time to do everything at my house.

    I would use an HTC to stay in touch with my work when traveling. I run a non profit agency that serves people with autism and frequently travel to other states to help other agencies get up and running. I usually have to find a place to set up my laptop in order to get any work done but the Sensation would allow me to work in bite sized pieces throughout the day.

    My HTC Sensation will be my spare brain, for recording all my passing thoughts on Evernote as I’m out and about, taking great quality shots of memorable moments, sharing them instantly and keeping me organised with to-dos and project plans on Evernote, so freeing up my grey matter to really appreciate my music collection on the move.

    Hi everyone ! I need this amazing phone to use Evernote like I’ve never done before because the HTC Sensation XL is incredibly fast. It’s wonderful too thanks to HTC Sense. I’ll use it to listen to some music with the Beats audio technology, which is awesome. I can use it to take pictures, to play games, to share (quite) everything with my friends and family, to organize my life (it would be useful)… To end that I would say that the HTC Sensation XL is an HTC device and that’s already pretty great. Thank you for giving us this chance to win a phone like this one ! (sorry for my english mistakes but I’m a french girl :P )

    How would I use the HTC Sensation XL? I’d use Evernote of course! But I’d probably find time to check things like email, weather, maps, calendar, news, calendar…stuff like that. I use an LG Cosmos and I am ready to use a touchscreen instead of QWERTY. Thank you!

    I will use the HTC Sensation XL by giving it to my lovely fiancée, who desperately needs a new phone. Then she’ll use it to keep in touch with me and her friends when she’s out of town with work, keep track of emails and appointments, snap photos and take notes to help plan our wedding (with Evernote!), and listen to music/podcasts while she’s on the plane or out for a run. What more could a girl ask for?!

    I will use my new HTC to take my note during university class. Evernote helped me so much already with its ability to have all my notes anywhere and to search within them for a specific term. With the HTC,the relation with Evernote will be at a new level :-)

    If I won the HTC Sensation, I would use it to help me manage my business. I was in a Car accident about 2 years ago and suffered injuries including short term memory loss. Thank god for Evernote. I was able to enter everything into Evernote that was important and I was forgetting (client notes, directions, appt reminders, pictures of faces, client usernames and more). Even if I wasn’t lucky enough to win, I am alive, I have Evernote and its saved my business and a whole lot more. For those getting older and forgetting…its a life saver for seniors as well. I am 49 and never anticipated an accident. But it happens and we have to adjust. Evernote made it a whole lot easier for me. Thanks Evernote.

    I will use the Sensation for nearly every aspect of my life, including all the basics others have listed. However, a few specific advantages stand out *most* to me.

    Cloud integration helps make life easier, and I will use the phone to connect with my family and friends even more, especially through Evernote. Mobile connection to Evernote let’s my family sync our to-do lists together, and the Sensation would enable me to stay more connected on the go. When the sisters’ need to be picked up early, or something needs to be picked up from the store, being connected through a phone like the Sensation makes the difference.

    In addition, I am a musician and composer, so i am particularly excited by the addition of Dr. Dre’s music processing interface! The ability to listen to compositions/interact with music in HQ on the go would be awesome. My musicology instructor often sends us class assignments digitally, and listening to them through the phone would be sweet.

    Lastly, I am struck by the Sensations standout camera and HD video recording features which make mobile reporting and video updating truly feasible. I hope to embrace this more as I head off to college next year, both to integrate with a new campus, and to keep my family up to date.

    Overall, the phone would make a big difference. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to let me know… Thanks for taking the time to read all of these (:
