Love the new version. I have my whole life in Evernote but unfortunately I have my whole life in note organized very well, with all my notes in a single folder. I really miss the A-Z scrolling that was on the right side. Search alone doesn’t work well for me.

Is there anything in the works for incorporating inknotes/handwritten notes in Evernote for iPad? For years, I used Evernote on a Windows Tablet computer and learned to value that portion of the program.

I realize that I can (and I have) use 3rd party applications, but the need to email a note into Evernote just doesn’t make sense, when you folks already have done that for the Tablet program.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I agree with Kohaku: tagging is vital–it’s part of what makes Evernote Evernote–but it takes way too much tapping and typing and backspacing and scrolling to apply just 3 or 4 tags to a note. Sometimes I feel like it takes less time and effort to add a note via email and put the tags in the subject line.

P.S. I also find adding tags cumbersome, I don’t understand why there isn’t a button in addition to the camera, audio, info and share buttons at the top of a note when editing that you can use to directly add a tag instead of going through the info button route.

I really hope there is an option to allow you to always open the Evernote app with a new note sitting there ready for you to type into with no other interaction necessary. This is the one reason why I don’t currently use the Evernote app as my default note taking app (even though I’m generally a big Evernote fan). This is something apps like Drafts gets just right – open it up, note is ready to type and that’s it. Perfect.

Of course, someone will now tell me there is a way to set this up already

Looks awesome! I use Evernote every day, several times a day. WHEN will it be available?

Yet another redesign. Again. Will it ever be good enough to leave it alone for a while and, oh, I don’t know…fix the crashing?

I have had an iPhone of one model or another for 3 years, and have had Evernote of one version or another the entire time, and in all these years, I have NEVER been able to use the Evernote app without it crashing at least 1/3 of the time. Just yesterday I made a new note from my camera roll, and when I went to add tags to it, the app crashed. When I opened the app again, it said there were “conflicting changes” on the note. I hadn’t even finished adding or uploading it yet!

You can make it as pretty and “intuitive” as you possibly can, but if it crashes, I cannot depend on it. If it crashes, I am constantly frustrated by it. If it crashes, I WILL NOT USE it.

And the other issue is speed. If I need to add a note quickly, but it takes 15-20 seconds for the app to load and actually let me tap on a button, it’s pointless. I can pull out my pocket notebook and write on paper before Evernote can accept keyboard input. Or I can take a photo with the iPhone Camera app before Evernote can even “open the shutter.”

I don’t like being negative, but I am being honest here: as far as iOS goes, Evernote has its priorities messed up.

Give me a word count feature – that’s all I need different
