An update to Evernote for iOS just went live in the App Store. Version 3.4.2 is mostly an under-the-hood update. Check for updates or get it from the App Store.

We’ve made a number of enhancements to stability during synchronization and note creation. For example, if you create a note, you’re able to consistently view it even if the note is still synchronizing. Also, we’ve improved the way attachments are handled on the iPad. There are also a ton of other bug fixes throughout that will make your Evernote experience just that much more pleasant.

One very visible new capability is support for Traditional Chinese.

Stay tuned, there are some big things in the works for iOS. Hold tight.

I know I am a little late to the party on this one, but as a PhD student I would love handwritten notes for the iPad. Evernote is my brain, it would be awesome if I could store and create everything there all at once. You guys rock.

Either I’m missing something or something is missing from Evernote that seems to me to be organization critical.

I don’t see where you can list your notes by title alphabetically. You can sort by date created or updated, but not by title. Is everyone using Tags to organize?

As an example of how this works against me, I wanted to use Evernote to keep a simple “To Do” list. It would be nice to have the ability to pull that up easily, but if I don’t update it for several days and add lots of other notes, it gets pushed down the pile and I can’t find it. Any strategies for this?

It seems to me you just keep throwing everything into a pile with no order to it other than using the search to find your notes later.

I’m just not getting how this keeps you better organized.

Would love to see the ability to view Notebooks, then chose a notebook to open the notes. In other words, the same functionality that exist in the Android version.

Scroll Notebooks instead of Notes. Right now it’s All Notes, though the list is categorized. It would be more efficient to scroll Notebooks, then drill down into the notes I’m interested in.

I wanted to show off Evernote on my iPad today for a colleague but had to give up because I couldn’t find the relevant notebooks.

On the iPad notebooks are a mess so PLEASE add stacks in the next update

Thanks

Folks,
I really enjoy the Evernote and I am the premium subscriber. Great work! I use it often on iPhone and iPad.

One feature I am missing from iPhone/iPad version (for years) is the password protection. Every time when somebody is asking the question, somebody from your team is answering “get the iPhone – level password”…

This is one feature that is preventing me to use Evernote extensively and I consider it as a biggest issue. The thing is that most of people who use Evernote are using private or sensitive notes, business notes etc. I use the iPhone/iPad level protection, but so many friends are asking me to “play with my iPad” an I have to give it to them!!! I do not keep anything sensitive in the mail, but I really want to use such information in Evernote.

So no really encryption is necessary, just 1 simple check for 4 digits, which can protect me from somebody accidentally sneaking in. Of course if somebody wants to hack in, they will. I am working in development myself, and I do know that it is a simple feature to do. If somebody needs a password reset, they can just re-install the application, so no real “password recovery procedure” for you.

Do you think you may plan this feature for this year? Because if not, I will probably cancel my subscription and will use another tool. I will miss it, but I have to have the password.

Thank you,
Olek.

  We do plan on adding this functionality to the iOS version of Evernote.

    When? I love evernote and am ready to pay good money, but as a teacher, I want to take notes about students and CANNOT do this without the assurance of password protection. I’d like it on specific notebooks. Please.

Rich Text Formatting PLEASE!!!

I’m a +1 for rich text formatting. Just imagine if you could tick off to-do lists on your iPhone/iPad, as well as bold and underline text. There would never again be a need for any other productivity app.

Please, please, please…

I totally agree!!!

Plase, notebooks (and tags) stacks support on iPad and iPhone applications.

Rich text editting too.

At least for the premium users!!

If I don’t have these two functionalities in a few weeks, I will move to springpad or so. And I think that other people is going to do the same. Because my notes are a mess if I try to access trough any mobile app.

Thanks a lot
Jan

Rich Text Formatting please !!!

I am a student using Evernote for my lecture notes.

Stacks on the iMac was a helpful improvement for being able to create a Notebook for each lecture within each subject. Each Notebook contains slideshows, journal articles and notes. It’s wonderful.

Since there is no Stack support on the iPad app I am struggling to find ways to order my Notebooks or at least name them in a way that makes them easy to find.. there are just too many and tagging and searching requires me to know what I am searching for.

I don’t want to switch to another application which has folder features like Google Docs because I love Evernote’s ability to view all my notes so effortlessly and on the most part organise them into clear themes.

Can anyone recommend a solution I can use in the meantime?
