I’m a grad student and I love Evernote and its the first app I tell any of my friends about. I have an iPad 2, and on it I have all my books through Kindle, Nook, or iBooks. Professors put PDF files online for class readings, I simply open them in Evernote, where I save them in that class’s notebook, and with Premium those are even searchable. Love coupling the other products with it too. For instance, Skitch. In class, our teacher draws a rough sketch of India and describes 3 different general locations where Mahayana Buddhism may have originated. With Skitch, on my iPad, I quickly captured a google map of India, circled the 3 regions and numbered them, and then saved that note into Evernote, linked with the notes I was already taking in class. Between Skitch and Penultimate, I can make an illustration happen, which was the only downside I saw to Evernote last semester. I can audio record the whole class, or just when my professor is about to tell a good story, or a fellow student about to play a song. I take photos/scans (Genius Scan) of all handouts and syllabi, so I’m never flipping through trying to find the right piece of paper – I can even hand the paper back to the Professor and let them save it for next time. When I have email correspondance with a professor I can forward those emails to the appropriate notebooks, if for instance class is canceled, or there’s a youtube video we’re supposed to watch before class.
And with work: Over the summer I had two jobs, keeping my schedules straight was very important. What was especially frustrating was that sometimes a schedule would get posted, and then magically changed a few days later without the employees being notified. When my boss tried to chastise me for not showing up for a shift, I showed him my timestamped pic of the schedule, and then he went and had a word with the scheduler instead. Plus, the photos were then synced to my desktop super easily, and because I prefer to enter events into iCal on my computer, rather than a mobile device, I could easily pull up the two work schedules for the week and get those in my calendar. Never missed a shift.
Seriously, LOVE LOVE LOVE Evernote.

would love it even more if I could do a little more on the iPad app with columns, font, color within a note.

I wish he had specifically explained the graphics/screen shots better. The post is very good except for that omission.

Good going! I am fairly new to evernote and see it’s potential, but haven’t had the time to figure out how to implement all these great suggestions. I would love an Evernote coaching session (hint hint!)

How to create + organise stacks on phone?

Question: I was really excited to read Ryan Kessler’s tips on organising notebooks into stacks. But I can’t find how to do it from my iPhone, as the instructions tell you to right click and hover, which you can’t do from a phone. Any tips?
