Update: Evernote for Android – Now with more advanced features

Product updates | By
 

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.

    My Mac application shows 343 Notes, but my Android app shows only 337 Notes. My only unsynced folder got 10 notes. So how is that working???

    Fantastic set of improvements! The client is getting very sophisticated and functional.

    I too get, “Can’t upgrade read-only database from version 21 to 22: /data/data/com.evernote/databases/E…”
    HTC Incredible, 2.2, Verizon.

    This all sounds great, but why leave WinMo 6.5 in the past? Yor mobile app is lacking (I was recently told to use a third party program to see my ton of notes in something other than one long list) and it seems like you’ve thrown in the towel on those of us who aren’t updating our phones until our contracts allow. Sorry to complain, but “smartphones” mean more than simply iPhone and Android.

    Evernote for Android, but still no Evernote for linux??? Come on, guys!

    This is great, but doesn’t fix the biggest problem I have with the android client. If I take a photo note using the android client on my HTC Desire, I can’t view the photo in full using the Evernote client. I can only zoom out a little bit, not enough to see the whole note. Can you please fix this? It totally breaks the android client for me. I think this is a regression- it wasn’t there in earlier versions. Happy to provide more debug/trace info if required.
