Our latest release takes full advantage of the iPhone’s geo-location powers, letting you find notes and memories created near your current position at a radius of 1, 5, and 25 miles. To access this feature, go to the search filter screen on the iPhone and check the appropriate “Near here” distance. Get the latest version of Evernote for iPhone.

Great for travel

This past weekend, I went to northern California’s wine country. On a previous trip, we stopped at an amazing winery, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to return and buy a bottle (or two…or three). When we got to the winery, I realized that I couldn’t remember which wine I had enjoyed. Luckily, I’d taken a snapshot in Evernote of the wine bottle. So, I took out my iPhone, opened up Evernote, and set the filter to “1 mile.” Voila, all the notes I’d taken at the winery popped up, including that fantastic zinfandel.

Longitude + Latitude = City

In the note details screen, Evernote for iPhone takes the geo-location data (longitute and latitude) and converts it into the city name, which is a lot more useful –unless you’re a pirate.

I second the comment on adding this to Windows Mobile. What about us? We want this too.

Is it possible to turn back on the Geo-location on Evernote for the iPhone if you refuse to allow it? Once I refused by accident and Evernot never asked again.

Yes it is Stuart. Look under General Settings – Location Services. You can fix it from here.. and all the other apps too.

I had it for about 4 hours and I deleted it. Disappointed. I travel a LOT and I was hoping to use it for keeping track of my product dealer locations, favorite places to eat, favorite hotels, etc. It would seem that you can only map stuff when you are AT that location. I tried adding restaurants and then editing the details of the note for the actual location and there is no location on the note that I can edit. I guess that’s only for the paid app people. How would you expect someone to pay for it if we can’t see what it really does? I don’t have time to screw around with it. I already wasted hours adding items and searching the web for mapping answers.

I was also under the impression I would be able to attach notes to different places on the map, restaurants, friends houses, bars i’ve been to, plus info (like the bartenders name etc) to each note. It appears I can not use this application to view multiple ‘location centric’ pinned notes in the google maps view.

It appears that locations are Although I have an iphone I would prefer not to have to use my data plan to access and update my notes on the go. Synching online is nice but its MOST important to have the notes on the device in the field.

I appreciate many things about this app and the work you have done.
