How is that post from the jerk “Bob” above even allowed to remain on the Evernote blog?

My 2 cents? Evernote is a leader in cross platform compatibility and I’m sure they will come up with an Android tablet app soon.

Hey Evernote!! Great job with Peek. What a cool and simple little app. I just downloaded it and it works perfectly. Any hints on how to optimize graphics so that they display properly? Any tips on optimal pixel sizes, etc. Thanks and keep up the great work.

P.S. I love Evernote too!

I believe the Linked Notebooks option has great potential for use in sharing curriculum guides with teachers. I’d be very interested in knowing how (and how many) schools might be using Evernote for the purpose. I hope you’ll include more in future newsletter updates of any examples that come your way.

Andrew – thanks for the response, and I’m happy to hear the updates are on the way. We’ve been waiting a long time. I don’t suppose that external development team works for free? I still don’t see how this isn’t a diversion of resources.

Sorry Sharon, but it’s a little difficult not to be irritated after waiting years for a simple PIN code in Evernote for iPhone to protect my life’s content that’s now stored there. Every one-man development shop out there has been able to implement this basic layer of protection in their apps, but Evernote says that they haven’t been able to do it because of more pressing priorities (like this app I suppose).

Evernote peek is great for what it is. Kudos. But it’s hard as a paying customer to get excited when so many basic functions (rich text, as referenced below, shared notebooks, stacks to name just a few) are missing from the core iOS apps. That this app would be able to access shared notebooks when the flagship Evernote for iPad can not is mind boggling. I think allowing handwriting using a stylus would be a hundred times more useful to Evernote iPad users than Peek. Why can’t we see the needs of users addressed before the creation of apps in search of a problem to solve? I didn’t see users clamoring for a flash card app that integrated with their Evernote account, but I see a lot of popular feature requests going unanswered for months if not years.

Look forward to the release of the next major iOS version so you can silence critics like me In all seriousness, keep up the good work on your core offerings. The improvements to the web version rock.

I too would like to see something like this on the Android tablet platform! Since that’s where most users are gravitating I don’t think developing software for Android is a waste of users – quite the contrary!

Come on, Sterling, give at least a nod to ingenuity which is not only useful for how many teachers (?), but also Mom’s and Dad’s who want to help their kids out in a pleasant, non-time wasting way. Kudos to both Apple for great design, and Evernote for even thinking of the flip-card possibility. Be grateful for American ingenuity!!

Look just because you made a poor choice on your tablet purchase does not mean Evernote should waste valuable programming resources to please you. I am so sick of Android users complaining about programming not being available for them! You need to buy your hardware based on the software you will use, not buy the hardware and then whine about the software availability. Use some common sense.

I don’t have a cover for my ipad2. I can’t get anything to work with Evernote peek. How about adding a feature like iBooks has where the swipe of a finger would fold back the page, This would allow everyone to use this valuable tool.
