Coming Soon: Evernote 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov
ENv5-iOS_Vertical-3

As if our Evernote 5 for Mac preview wasn’t exciting enough, we have another surprise up our sleeves. While our Mac team was hard at work building their new version, our iOS team was working on some major updates of their own.

Today, we give you a preview of our upcoming Evernote 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Oh, and it works great on the new iPad Mini.

We’ve learned a lot over the years about how people use Evernote on mobile devices. It’s all about speed. Whether you’re creating a note or browsing to one, everything needs to happen fast. Also, you want the app to easily support your preferred organization scheme. If you’re a tagger, then tags must be front-and-center. If you put everything into notebooks, then those need to be quickly accessible.

And, everything needs to be one or two taps away.

This thinking led us to completely redesign the app. We introduced Views for Notes, Notebooks, Tags, and Places. We added Quick Note buttons to let you easily create a note with a single click, and, on iPad we added a Recent Notes list to make multi-tasking easier.

To learn more about Evernote 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, take a look at our What’s New Page.

This update is coming very soon. Let us know what you think.

    What is the difference between Dropbox and Evernote? Apple and I just don’t click $12,000 later.
    I’m a PC! Life is good….
    Is Dropbox a PC app or Mac app?
    Help!
    I have “Docs To Go” too.”
    Confused in Texas?????

      Dropbox and Evernote are totally different, IMHO. I use Dropbox for file sharing among team members and Evernote for my digital filing system with everything organized in digital notebooks. I share Evernote notebooks with various team members for collaborative work.

      Evernote has one of the best file searching capabilities of any cloud service I know of.

      Given the choice between Dropbox and Evernote – no question – Evernote.

    Looks good!

    Instead of Premium features tab can we have saved searches tabs. That would be so much more useful.

    Also copy note link is something many EN users have been waiting for. Will that be included?

    Bonjour à tous . Dommage que je ne sache pas ni comprendre ni parler l’anglais tant pis Pour moi …. Bonne continuation à vous !

    Great news but no mention of the core of the app, the text editor…which is in my opinion the major flaw so far, especially on the iPhone.

    It’s hard to edit, a lot of bug and the subdivision of section is not available on Mac…

    Any improvement on that dimension?

  • Nelson

    Looks fantastic! I hope this new version will get rid of the crashing problem on IOS.

  • Hutch

    One question: Will the new version work in portrait mode on the iPad? I saw only one image in the new iOS Evernote guide that looked like it might be in portrait mode. I’m a longtime Evernote user (6+ years), but this would be a deal-breaker for me. I don’t like it when developers decide how I should hold my iPad.

    Looks great! And ironically, I’ve downloaded my Diesel Sweeties Red Robot USB Drive to Evernote already :)

    I finally will have notebook stacks on iPad. Waiting so long. But I hoped tags also appear with their hierarchy according to nested tags on the account.

    The most important thing I wait for is a stable version, because the current one is very frustrating.

  • Travis

    With every release I cross my fingers for higher quality audio notes. I didn’t see anything about it in the video or the “what’s new” page. Are my hopes dashed again?

  • Chris

    Please please please have notebook stacks for ipad!!!
