Let’s just cut to the chase. You asked, and we made it happen:

I want to edit notes right on the iPhone: DONE
Give me more audio recording time: YOU GOT IT
Make image and audio uploads faster: IT’S 4X FASTER NOW
Let me choose to have notes sync only over WiFi: OKIE DOKIE
Ugh, the first line of my text notes gets cut off: FIXED
Integrate a flashlight application: UM, NO

Get Evernote for iPhone version 1.2 or check for updates on your iPhone / iPod Touch.

Editing existing notes

With the latest Evernote for iPhone release, you can edit existing plain text notes; append text to notes that contain images, audio, or other rich content; and change tags or notebooks for existing notes –all directly on the iPhone.

To edit a note, open it and click on the new Edit Note icon in the lower right corner.

Shiny new audio recorder

The audio recorder is completely redesigned, making it significantly more user friendly and intuitive. We increased the maximum recording time to 5 minutes, added a level meter, gave it some nice thumb-friendly buttons, and made the whole thing a lot easier to use.

Note upload options

We learned that some of our users pay a hefty price for cellular data transfers. Since we’re in the business of improving your memory, not emptying your wallet, we’ve added the option to choose whether notes are sync’d over cellular networks or only when connected to WiFi. This setting is located in the Account screen.

Faster uploads

We’ve significantly improved our image and audio compression, which translates into uploads that are nearly 4X faster than in previous versions.

Other improvements and fixes

Take a call or quit the application without losing your work
Note list automatically displays any newly created notes
Fixed a bunch of “Pending note” issues

Thanks everyone for the great feedback. Please keep the ideas and suggestions coming. Now that we’ve got the 1.2 release out, we’re rolling up our sleeves and getting started on the biggest task: letting you have local storage of notes right on your iPhone. Stay tuned.

Quick followup to my previous post.

I don’t know if this is currently in place, but I really would like the ability to encrypt notes transmitted from the iphone.

I’d like to second Fred Stefanowicz.

Creating to-do-lists on the fly is really important so it would be great to see this function on the i-phone app. Cheers

I’m probably missing something. The other day, I entered a long list into a new note on my iphone. I switched to my calendar for a moment, planning to resume work on my list after switching back to Evernote. However, I hadn’t saved the new note. When I switched back, the new note I had been working on was gone, along with all the information I had entered. Is there any way to temporarily save the contents on the iphone as one types, and before one saves the note to the website? Many apps save information even when one is using another app (map saves my location, many games save my progress in the game, etc.). Thanks.

  @Nechama Notes that are created on the iPhone can be edited from the iPhone later. So, we recommend that you save the note, exit Evernote, then open and edit that same note later.

Can I use evernote to transfer inotes from my iphone to a new iphone 3g. I want to transfer existing notes in the notes of the iphone. Can I copy them into evernote? It looks like you have to start with evernote, and that it will not copy notes from the iphone that are pre-existing.

I would like to record 60 minute lectures with evernote. Voicenote seems to have 5 min limit. Am i correct?

Also it seems possible to record a voice note in airplane mode but not possible to play it back (because internet connection is needed). that true?

I need functionality like MS OneNote’s or Apple iNotes’ voice lecture recording that matches the point in the recorded lecture to the part of the notes that correspond to that part.

This would be incredible.

Ink notes on the iPhone, please! This would be a _major_ boon. (And editable ink notes on the Mac.)

but
the email has Word Document attached and after trying a bunch of things I cannot find a way to View the attached document in EVERNOTE

Al: I’ve been having the same problem with Word Docs. I think you can only upload Word Docs if you have a premium account.
- Andrew Sinkov
  
  That’s correct. Free users can attached text, images, audio, and PDFs. Premium users can attach any file type.
