Have a big trip coming up? Heading off to school? Planning a blowout BBQ? Make sure that you don’t forget anything by creating a packing list in Evernote.

You can create a checklist by simply clicking on the checkbox button in the note formatting bar from Evernote on your Mac, Windows, Android phone or Tablet. In the time leading up to your event, add new items as you think of them, then check them off from any device where you have Evernote installed. Forgetting to take that power cord or tub of potato salad will be a thing of the past.

Have you ever tried using Evernote for this? Tell us.

I concur with previous comments. Am trying to use Evernote as the centre of everything. Unfortunately it is somewhat irritating that you cannot currently insert checkboxes in the iphone app to create a reasonable to do list. then there would be no need for basic third party to do apps.

I too echo Victor’s comment above.

I can create the checklist in Evernote desktop (Mac), however cannot toggle or check something off on my HTC Hero Android phone.

Version is 1.5…have you only enabled for later versions on Android perhaps?

How long before you can create checklists on the iPad version of Evernote? This would be a GREAT addition!!!!

I created a checklist for packing in Evernote on my Windows desktop. Then I synced it and found out I can’t use the checkboxes on my Blackberry. Will that be coming anytime soon?

I too have been using evernote as a great way to keep a list
of things you may want to pack for your vacation.
I also keep a list of tax material as it comes in so the following
year I double check with evernote to make sure I have all the
information I need for my tax preparer.

Need to be able to create AND check off checklist items on either desktop or mobile (android) before this becomes a useful app for me. I like the idea though!

I find it a bit strange that there isn’t a quicker way to make to do lists. Why cant checkbox just be a standard type of bullet point? Selecting a bunch of text, and hitting checkbox should put checkboxes in front of all of them, like the bullet or numbering buttons do now. This and the ability to make todo lists on the iPhone would make this way more awesome.

Not being able to create the checklis in Evernote really limits it posibilities.
I also tried to sync the checklist after I checked some of the items from the Ipad and it does not work.

The checkmarks dont sync.

Please help, it would probably be the best app if we could create to do on mobile devices and the checkmarks would also sync.

Help!

How do you get those checkboxes on there? That’ll be a great feature once I know how to use it. Thanks.
