Share…or don’t

Evernote for iOS lets you easily share individual notes with friends and colleagues over Twitter, Facebook and email. As great as sharing notes is, sometimes you want take a shared note and make it private again. Now, Evernote for iOS lets you do that. To stop sharing a note, tap on the Share icon at the bottom of the note and select Stop Sharing. This shared note will no longer be accessible to anyone but you.

You can now revoke sharing of any individual notes shared from any version of Evernote. You will not be able to stop sharing notes that were shared prior to this update.

Much better editing on iPad

We’ve made significant improvements to our note editor in iOS 5 on iPad. You can now edit anything. No more simplifying notes. No more appending. Just go in and edit whatever you like. Add an image to a note, and it appears right inline. We’re also now allow indenting, multi-level lists and the app does a much better job of preserving styles.

We’ve also made a number of improvements to the iPhone text editor. iPhone does not yet have the full editing capabilities of the iPad. We’re working on it.

And much more

This update also includes lots of bug fixes and stability improvements. We have a lot more in store. Stay tuned.

    I still get the message to add text to keep formatting on IOS. The format is very simple, just coloured text.. I could still be improved.

    On an iPad 2, this update makes EverNote almost unusable. Typing causes the app to pause, and about half the time when the text eventually arrives onscreen, the letters are doubled “tthhiiss iiss aa sseenntteennccee”. This didn’t happen until this update, and doesn’t happen in any other apps. Now to figure out how to roll it back.

    Love STACKS ! Creating the stack shouldn’t be a Sherlock Holmes hunt!
    Why not just add a simple “Create New Stack” to the file menu?
    Evernote is wonderful because it has a logical, simPle flow to its use.Please keep it that way. You 97 more years so keep the quality and enthusiasm!

    This is great we just got our ipad and planning on upgrading to ios 5, this is a good news.

  • Larry

    Like others noted, the text editing has actually disappeared – the exact opposite of what the update is said to provide.

  • Jason

    Rich text editing is completely gone on my iPad as well. 1st gen running ios5. Please update on ETA for fix

    I use Evernote for a lot of my writing projects and sync’ing between multiplle systems. However, the feature I have been waiting is the ability to edit RTF documents on my iPad. Is it going to be made available at all? I wonder if the chaps at Evernote would like to comment on this one? I am sure many of us are just waiting for that feature and an answer to this one.
