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.

    It appears the latest update will allow either snaps on the camera or attachments from the iPad camera roll.

    I use a doxie go and import the JPGEGs onto the iPad, so they’re in last imported. It appears you can’t select the album other than camera roll, so this update is an annoying backwards step.

    Please fix this!

    After this last update, I can make changes on my laptop. The updates will show in the summary for notes on my iPhone 4S but when I click into the note on the iPhone none of the updates are there.

    Please fix. I’m a huge fan of evernote but this bug makes both the laptop and iOS versions unusable.

    App is now pretty much worthless after upgrade. I can’t edit notes at all. Tapping, press and hold, swipe, nothing allows to edit. I use this app daily and if not fixed quickly I’ll be finding another alternative. Please fix, I love the old Evernote.

    This update completely ruined my confidence in Evernote! I’ve just lost an important note because of this “easy editing” feature

    What happened in short: I created a note with a snapshot on an iPad. When a day later I opened Evernote on an iPhone the note and a picture preview appeared so I opened the note but the picture was not there, maybe it was still downloading or from the cache, I am not sure. Then I might have tapped on the empty body of the note accidentaly. It is very difficult not to tap there actually because the note’s body takes almost entire screen. Then I went back to the main screen and noticed that the note is UPLOADING now. Before I could do anything Evernote synced the EMPTY body to the server and when I opened Evernote on the iPad it wiped out the note there.

    Thank you very much guys for a great half baked feature… tap anywhere in the note and kiss goodbye to its content…

    Evernote Users are tired of their restrictions on the ios devices

    no offline

    and crash ever time

  • Paul Cormier

    This update crashes like crazy. I have been using EN for a year… just removed it from my iPhone. ‘Bout to migrate to another app if this doesn’t get fixed soon. Thanks for a great product, sorry this version is such a disaster.

  • Phil

    I agree. Latest update crashes on 4s every time I open it. Will definitely have to move to a new service if there is not a timely fix.

  • Elizabeth

    Could the company please acknowledge and/or explain the technical glitches with the new update? Surely someone at Evernote is aware of the fact that Evernote constantly crashes (or perhaps the Evernote software engineers don’t have access to their notes, either, due to the constant crashes??). This is very poor PR. I’m a huge fan of Evernote, but with 2+ weeks of radio silence from the company, I’m going to have to consider making a switch. I use (or at least used to use) this App everyday!

    • Kasey Fleisher Hickey

      Elizabeth, we are aware of an incompatibility issue some of our users are experiencing on the latest version of our iOS applications. We have submitted a fix to Apple and are awaiting release from the Appstore. The only workaround we officially endorse for users experiencing this issue is to use Evernote Web from their affected mobile device ( https://www.evernote.com/m) until the patch has been released.

    This is a keeper! Good info! You put a nice twist to it. Well put Andrew.

    Hi there,

    What i Really miss in all Evernote apps is a possibility to link out not only a single or couple of notes but a tag or even better a saved search in the same style You can link to to notes. That would create a bunch of new possibilities especially to other apps like calendars to use the en infrastructure.
