14 DAY TRIAL // Evernote, the popular, cross-platform note-taking application, is now available for the iPad. The desktop version of the software has been enhanced as well, with the addition of the 'Simplify Formatting' menu option to make web clips and other complex pages easier to edit, alongside significant enhancements to note-editing and -styling and fidelity of clipped pages.
“Evernote turns the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad into an extension of your brain, helping you remember anything and everything that happens in your life,” Evernote Corporation describes the app. “From notes to ideas to snapshots to recordings, put it all into Evernote and watch as it instantly synchronizes from your iPhone to your Mac or Windows desktop.”
The developer proceeds to list the key features of the application, which include the creation of text, photo and audio notes, the ability to auto-synchronize your notes to your Mac, PC, and web, make text within snapshots searchable, and mark notes as “Favorite” for quick access. While all notes include geo-location information for mapping and search, the ability to add, sync, access, and share files (PDF, Word, Excel, PPT, and more) among the different versions of Evernote you use is listed as the flagship feature of the app.
Now supported on the iPad as well, Evernote has become a powerful tool for research and class notes, to capture blog ideas and design inspiration, stay in-sync with your desktop notes, web clips, and files, snap photos of whiteboards and wine labels, staying organized and recording voice memos. According to the developer, the iPad version of Evernote works best when used together with the company’s free downloadable versions for Mac and Windows. Version 3.3.1 brings not only iPad support to the app, but also fixes for issues with synchronization and search results.
