Auto titles

There are times when you need to remember something on the go — a fast snapshot or a quick voice memo. Evernote is great for that. The problem was, how to find those notes later? In this update, we’ve come up with a great solution: auto-titles for untitled notes. Now, Evernote will create a title based on the content of the note and time that the note was created, making it much easier to find it later.

Improved image layout in notes

We’ve also made some improvements to how snapshots appear inside your notes. There is now padding around images, so if a note contains several images, they show up nicely spaced and easier to view. As always, if you tap on an image, you can view it in full-screen view. A long tap lets you annotate it in Skitch.

Save anytime

If you compose lengthy notes on your phone or tablet, then you’ll like our new Save feature. Tap the Save button in the note and a version will be saved to your device’s memory. No need to exit the note. When you’re finished, tap Done and the note will Sync.

And more…

This update is also full of bug fixes and reliability improvements. You’ll notice that notes save much more quickly. We have lots more to come. Stay tuned.

    I need a way to use the previous autotitling, now all notes from a day have the same title which is not good. A settings option to let us pick which way it works would be great! Also, how do I change a auto title from android?

    I hate auto titles.
    I’m posting this here as well as on Evernote’s forums because i care. I know my particular case is unique, but i also know my opinion isn’t. In my case, i use evernote audio notes extensively for documenting epileptic seizure activity. Previously, the note would have been titled simply with the date and time. Perfect. If i can’t talk after a seizure (more often than not) simply creating the note will give me a timestamp, which is essential. Now, though, the autotitles are completely useless, and will ultimately be replaced manually with exactly what was previously automatic. Thankfully i can (read:have to) look at the *.amr’s file name to retreive the timestamp & rename the note. Kludgy and a significant reduction in ease of use. I had seven seizures yesterday – renaming these notes via a somewhat cryptic filename is now required, hence making these auto titles a deal-breaker if they stay.

    How hard could it possibly be to make this “feature” an option, and why in god’s name wasn’t it an option to begin with ?

    Yes, I agree with above poster.. I wish there was a way to turn off the auto-titles. It is infuriating to have have every note begin with what’s in my calendar for that day, for example “Note from: Urinary Tract Infection” enough said!

  • Edward

    Yes, again – date and time as the default title would be so much more useful – particularly when using the Android app. On my phone I get ‘note@Banbury’ as the title and this is no use at all. Certainly, the nearest town to where I live is Banbury but it is several miles away – and irrelevant.
    As a new user I am finding that there is so much that is brilliant about Evernote but this could certainly be better.

  • Larry

    Auto Title – my auto title only ever shows the city & state. But it always has the wrong city. Google maps shows my exact correct location, so i am not sure where Evernote is pulling the location information from.

    I would like to be able to edit the location information, such as correcting the city. I would like to be able to have it default to the date and time.

    Please no more auto titles. I don’t need to have my all day notes from any of my many calendars show up in evernote ever. untitled note and time stamp worked GREAT for me. this is making me not use the phone for quick audio notes which is one of the biggest reasons for even using evernote. Don’t make me go back to MS OneNote please!!!! someone? anyone? come in Houston, come in… just give us a check mark to turn the auto titles off in the settings somewhere… please… oh please….

    Auto tittle bring a new dynamic solution for us,which gives title note on the content. Google is continuously updating its Android phone so that it could compete with Apple iphone.
