An update to Evernote for iPhone and iPad (v 3.3.8) went live in the App Store earlier today. Here are some of the highlights:

Improved Premium offline notebooks

Premium users get two nice enhancements to offline notebooks. There’s an improved interface, with much clearer information about exactly when things are synchronizing and which notebooks are stored offline.

Offline notebooks can now sync over 3G. If you would prefer that things only sync of Wi-Fi, then tap the switch to the ON position. Be aware that syncing over 3G may mean large data transfers, which may incur carrier fees.

If you would like to take advantage of the offline notebooks feature, then upgrade to Evernote Premium. You can do that from our website or through the Sync menu of Evernote for iPhone and iPad.

Improved searching

This release includes major improvements to searching within Chinese, Japanese and Korean language notes.

Lots more

There are also a bunch of improvements for editing and appending text, as well as a slew of bug fixes.

Passcode option would really be awesome (something like what Dropbox has).
The alternative — signing out every time — just doesn’t cut it: i want my password to be strong to prevent my account from being hacked.. But reentering the password every time I let anyone play with the device is just painful. Besides, you just can’t sign back in when you’re offline, which happens a lot with a wifi-only device

Updated to new version 3.3.8 for Ipad and no longer can see images when offline. Things I have done to try to remedy this.

1. re-sync offline notes. -no luck
2. delete/install Evernote. -Did this 4 times + sync offline notes and no luck.

Note: Images are displayed with a little box in upper left hand corner of note or wherever there is a image in a note.

Please, need advice on how to get images to work again “offline”.

Thank you in advance.

The dream integration for me would be with Evernote iPhone app and Dragon Naturally Speaking iPhone app – that would be brilliant.

  Agreed! The Dragon app is very helpful – but does not allow for posting to Evernote. And the Evernote app does not integrate with Dragon. It would be awesome if they worked together.

    Hey guys – Dragon DOES work in Evernote on the computer, right? Presumed you were talking about just on the iPhone.

Are you going to add ink note capability to the iPad version? I currently use the ink note capability on my Tablet PC, but the Tablet PC is heavier and has less battery life than my iPad. If Evernote for iPad includes ink notes, then my Tablet PC will be replaced.

  Bruce – I bought Penultimate for the iPad and just email the notes into Evernote. It creates a PDF and I’ll use this until they support ink on the iPad.

Hi – Does anyone know how to clips notes and highlights from iBooks into Evernote? Thanks!

Well, first of all I don’t have an iPad yet. But I will be getting one very soon. The only reason why I want it is for evernote and thats about it. I have a lot for reading to do and this is how I do it. I sort out my notes into one big never ending book! Currently I’m 2,000 notes behind on my reading…

My first experience with evernote for the iPod wasn’t too good. It was pretty much useless. Currently trying to get it the run the new 3.9.9 or whichever on my iPod. Which by the way I don’t use for music I use a zune… Sad but I find it more useful. The iPod is just a toy to me. Actually tried to give it away but it came back… lol

Besides all that I’m a big MacBook fan! And think the iPad is more of what I’m looking for. Something to carry around and not feel like I’m lifting weights. Oh also had a Kindle, it was also a toy tried to give it away and it again came back to… Don’t think the iPad will go to the trash like those other two, just cause of the one any one app I care about and that is Evernote!

So I’ve heard some bad rumours about the Evernote app for iPad. Not syncing right, not showing images, not being able to edit a note and when it syncs it not showing up on the server to be sync elsewhere… Have they been fixed in this latest update?

Are you able to sync every note you have (Thousands) onto the iPad for offline viewing?

Can you use voice-to-speech in the Evernote app for iPad?

I’d like to see these other features adapted in future updates soon! Drawing or Ink-Notes, Voice Notes from the built in mic and a better playback system than the one used in the OSX version, clippings from iBooks, Safari, and other apps (even if it means having to close that app and lose my place and data I was working on!, Checklists, and maybe even better corporation with wikipedia to clip notes and full pages to look best in both iPad and all Evernote programs.

Besides that I’d like to see more organisation features. Different forms of tags or folders that will omit all the notes under that folder from the current search. Or better searching methods. Like using quotes or minus signs to omit words. Cause when I go to search on my insanely fast MacBook Pro it actually freezes for a while now as it finds thousands of notes that have all these individual words in them…

If anyone know of any solutions to my problems please help me out. Thanks! But as I said all that matters to me is that I can read all of my complete notes offline! Thats about all I need.

  Sorry about my spelling. I work too many hours! And of course I meant ver. 3.3.9… Which I’m currently testing and its actually not all the useless… Can’t wait for the iPad. Strange the Voice Recording option is there. Wonder if the is a Mic. attachment? Or if thats just meant for the iPhone… Don’t really care an attachment would be in the way. Oh it did crash on me when I tried to sync all of my notes… But its back up and running. 5% done… This’ll take all night and all it says is downloading headers… Does that mean it’s not downloading the full notes and when I go offline it won’t let me read my notes anymore?
  
  And whats up with the star icon. I guessed it was a way to download the whole note for offline viewing before. Guess I’ll find out soon. But if I don’t maybe someone can explain. Hope this isn’t an issue with the iPad!!! I need to use it offline! Just incase I’m getting the 3G version. Oh by the way I do pay for the Premium account. Totally worth it, if it’ll work more effectively!!! Oh and better note exporting would be grate to! eBook and PDF options doesn’t sound like too much to ask, when I’m paying for it and still see the adds on my MacBook (Don’t care to turn the adds off is all)

Hey, i’m posting right from mobile safari and suddenly I missed a bookmarklet feature from evernote. I was checking an article and I wanted to send to my evernote account. Something similar to Instapaper bookmarklet that lets me send any page to my account. It could be the clipping feature in mobile context.
- Gary
  
  Best way is this:
  
  1. Hi-light & copy the text you want to send to evernote.
  2. Press the ‘email this link’ button in safari.
  3. Paste your copied text into the email body
  4. Enter the name of your note into the subject line
  4. email to your ‘email-to-evernote’ address-every account has one -just add it to your email contacts so its easily available.

Really love Evernote but really, really NEED the web clipping tool to be developed for iPad safari. Such a loss of usefulness not to have this.
Also can’t search by tag, which is also something of a surprise,
- Stacy
  
  You can! It took me a while to figure out how to do this, which is why I’m so excited to share it with you.
  
  To search by tag, type “tag:___” with the tag in the blank. Other important things to know are that if you want to search for a note with more than one tag, you have to place that modifier in front of each tag. So to search for all “Atlanta” and “bills” tags, you would search “tag:atlanta tag:bills”

Offline Notebooks vs Favorites

What is the difference between a note in an Offline notebook vs a note Tagged as a Favorite in terms of performance response?

Also I have a note in an Offline Notebook with an attached Word Document bu I’ve noticed that opening the Word document form the note in the Offline notebook still takes a while. Does this mean the attached note is not stored offline?

Thanks
Gordon

I really like Evernote, but didn’t really use it until I got my iPad. Now I’m using it more with my iPad and iPhone I’m finding that not being able to search or sort or categorize by tags on my iPhone is a big issue for me. I want to make Evernote my platform for implementing David Allen’s Getting Things Done system, but without tag sorting on the iPhone app I can’t see my notes like I’d like to.

Please give us tag sorting and filtering on the iPhone.

Thanks
