We’re really excited about the response to Evernote 2.0 for Android. Your support is inspiring us to keep adding new features and improving it as fast as we can. Today’s update, version 2.5, is packed with a bunch of advanced features requested by our most avid users.

Get Evernote for Android from the Android Market

Advanced search

We’ve enhanced the already great browsing options by adding an advanced search capability. You can now construct complex searches using tags, notebooks, attributes, location and dates. Once these are created, they go straight into your search history so they’re easy to re-execute. To create an advanced search go to the Search screen from the application home screen, widget or header bar, then tap “Advanced Search” and select from a wide range of search criteria.


To-dos

Users of the Mac, Windows and web versions know that Evernote provides a great way to manage your to-do lists by allowing you to add to-do check boxes to notes. With the latest version, you can also check and uncheck those items right from your Android device. Just view a note with to-do items and tap the check box. The change will be automatically synced with the server. This works with advanced search options, letting you find notes with incomplete to-dos.

Lots of other polish

  • Notebook sync preferences: it’s now easier to manage your notebook sync preferences and see the size of your notebooks.
  • Sync performance and robustness: Your phone will sync faster especially over a cell network. We’ve also made the sync process more robust, so you’re less likely to run into problems uploading or downloading notes.
  • More views of more thing: We’ve added a simple text-only view of your note list, which scrolls and loads faster with many notes. We’ve also added a full screen mode for reading notes.
  • Better sync info: We’ve improved the sync status bar so it’s easier to tell what synchronization is doing.

Stay tuned! We’ll have a bunch of great new features coming in the new year.

    Im using evernote for my desire z and its awsome but does anyone else have problems viewing there pictures they have taken using evernote?

    whenever i have a snapshot in one of my notes and try to view them on my phone it gets displayed WAY to big. its becoming useless to view these images on my phone because i have to keep scrolling to look for the info i need. and pressing the “Fit to screen button” doesnt seem to help much.

    Agree with john and johan. Pics become too large to be viewed on Android screen. Can’t zoom out enough to see what pic I took! It’s a huge dealbreaker but I love the rest of the program. Please fix as this is the only thing holding me back from really embracing it! Is it an error from evernote or a compatibility with my phone, HTC desire HD ?

    I have loved Evernote and use it a lot. I have 379 notes on my Droid 2, but since the update, my computer shows only 1 note while the Droid 2 shows all 397 but can no longer upload. I am afraid to reinstall Evernote on my phone b/c my notes aren’t showing up on my computer and I don’t want to lose them all. Not sure what to do.

  • Adam B.

    I just installed Evernote on my Desire, tried to sync the notes but the app keep getting java errors. Am I doing something wrong?

    Please help me with this, EN is an essential to me. It was one of the reasons I switched to this HTC beauty :-)

    Is there a way to view a note that contains an image (such as a photo) such that the image is dynamically autoscaled to a reasonable size – a size where you can actually see the whole image without having to scroll around? My droid camera takes pretty high resolution images and it’s pointless to make us have to scroll around a 2800×1600 resolution image in the note detail view.

    Please, no one make the stupid comment that I should resize the image prior to adding it to the note. The whole point is that this stuff is supposed to be seamless, hence the icons that take you directly to your camera from the evernote client, and furthermore sometimes one might need to have the original resolution in the note.

  • Checklist Needed

    This would be the premiere note-making app if you could make checklists from any and all mobile apps (almost any other note app has this function). If you cannot make a checklist from your mobile device, which is IMO the MOST IMPORTANT reson for making a note, what good is the program?

    This is completely illogical to me. A user on the go, i.e. w/o access to a computer, is the person who would most need to create checklists from their Evernote app, and yet this function is not included. I can’t use this app until this is taken care of.

    Thanks for listening.

    • Dan

      How about you make a Generic checklist on the PC / MAC and then you always have a checklist that you can edit later FROM THE PHONE?
      This will also save time in the future on the PC / MAC by not having to insert checkmark boxes into all future checkmark lists!

    It appears your last note about android updates was a year ago. I certain don’t think that’s giving much attention to the platform.

    I’m interest in encryption on my android tablet. Can we expect this and if so, approximately when.

    After reinstall I “login not authenticating”… but clearing all data seems to fix the login issue, but still no widget…
