Evernote for iOS Update: Smart Titles, Better Editing, Easier Sharing, and More

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov
 

Today, we released an update to Evernote for iOS (4.1.8) that comes full of great additions and improvements. We enhanced our note editing capabilities, added smart note titles, made sharing easier, and much more. Let’s take a look.

Get Evernote for iOS

Predictive Note Titles

Gone are the days of Untitled Notes. Now, when you create a new note and save it without giving the note a title, the app will assign a contextual title using calendar events, your location, note contents, and other information. You’ll see our predictive title as soon as you create the note. If you would prefer to change the title, just tap into the title area and start typing. As a result of this new feature, all of your new notes will have an informative title.

Easier Notebook Sharing

We felt that notebook sharing was too difficult to find in the previous version of Evernote, so we made it more easily accessible. To share a notebook, go to your notebook list and tap on the notebook you want to share. Next, tap on the new share icon in the top right of the screen. Much easier.

Better Editing, Copying, Pasting, and More

This update includes major improvements to the note editing capabilities on iPhone and iPad, particularly in iOS 5. First, you’ll notice that editing is significantly faster, especially for long notes. We resolved many issues related to new lines and we do a much better job of preserving styles when you copy something from a note and paste it into another note or into another app.

Stacks

Notebook Stacks, our visual notebook organization, have been a part of Evernote for iPhone for a little while, but enabling them wasn’t easy. In this update, we made Stacks the default view for the notebook list. If you prefer a stack-less view, tap on the “i” in the top left of the Notebook screen to switch to a different view.

And more…

In addition to improved stability and lots of bug fixes, this update also includes faster and more reliable synchronization. Also, we completely redesigned the login and registration experience. We have lots more to come. Let us know what you think of our latest update.

    I want to opt out of Predictive Tttles. I strongly dislike this feature and do not want to toggle either. Please consider this option?

    Thank you for an otherwise great product.

    I too do not want Evernote grabbing stuff from my calendar for “predictive titles”. It’s populating my note titles with totally irrelevant stuff (stuff that belongs on my calendar, not in my notes).

    This should be a preference that is OFF by default and should require a user to OPT-IN to allow Evernote access to the user’s calendar.

    Not a fan of predictive titles. Would like some flexibility and an opt out, or better yet, an opt in.

    These automatic titles would be fine if they were optional – or simply not so slow. The user experience sucks when you have to wait for Evernote to think about a title – when all it is going to do is pull a title from something like my synced Facebook calendar (full of events I’m not actually at!)

    Hi,
    I use Evernote for my ironman triathlon training. I shared a training log notebook with my coach.

    Is there a way to receive notification when my coach updates my training log?

    Cheers
