Evernote for iOS Update Makes Editing Notes Easier

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov

Evernote for iOS got a great new update. You can now edit a note just by tapping into the note’s body. The feature keeps track of where you tap in the note and places the cursor in the right spot. When you’re done editing, tap on the keyboard icon and the keyboard will slide away.

It may seem small, but it actually makes using the app much more efficient. Enjoy.

    terrible feature – how can you remove the cancel button and the sync button and call it an improvement? there is no way to sync contents of a note you are viewing now – there is no way to avoid saving a blank note now – there is no way to cancel edits to a note now and not save them – who thinks of this stuff? terrible ideas one and all – add features – don’t take them away please!!

    had to delete evernote from iphone because of this update.

    even opening notes causes them to “edit” and replace the current version if they were a previous version. have lost many note changes because of this update. finally gave up and can no longer use evernote on iphone.

    Since this update, changes to notes have not been saving, or in some cases, the entire note is wiped out.

    I’ve had to reconstruct about 10 notes in the last month from memory (if the note is wiped out by iphone before the server stores the history snapshot).

    I don’t want to remove Evernote from iPhone, but having an “edit” button in the previous version made it easier to avoid:
    * accidental edits
    * saving blank notes

    I use to have an unshaken trust in Evernote’s reliability and advocate it to my friends regularly. Since this update, I’ve been asking for Evernote alternatives that are equivalent to older versions of Evernote which are write-once-and-forget

    Since the update I am unable to edit notes on my Mac, and the response is very very very slow and sticky. I was liking Evernote but have now decided not to use it.

    As noted by @Dawn in August, a glitch in the App doesn’t let me edit notes (keyboard doesn’t show; I’m running iOS5). Will this be fixed soon?
