Today, owners of devices running under Google’s Android operating system got a taste of a new flavor of the Evernote application, namely version 3.4.

The new app release brings along a variety of features that users have been asking for, such as enhanced sharing capabilities, along with a series of interface changes, and some other improvements as well.

The control that users enjoy when it comes to shared notes has been enhanced in the new update, while the sharing options have been made a bit more accessible than before.

“We’ve redesigned the sharing screen completely. Now, when you share a single note, the URL appears at the top of the sharing screen. If at any point you decide to stop sharing, tap on the Disable URL option,” Evernote explains.

As soon as users deactivate a note that has been shared, the aforementioned link will work no more, regardless of the friends that the note has been shared with.

To get to the sharing menu, users will have to tap and hold the note in the note list or tap the Menu button when viewing a note. They can also access the note through tap on the down arrow in the note title bar when viewing the note.

Another improvement that users will benefit from in the new update is Notebook type icons, which should provide additional info at-a-glance.

“In this update, we’ve added icons that indicate notebook type. When you view your notebook list, you’ll see whether a notebook has been shared with an individual, the world, or not at all. It’s a great way to quickly know the state of each notebook,” Evernote explains.

There is also a pencil icon to the note title bar available when viewing a note, which provides fast access to editing the content of that note. Moreover, the arrow next to the edit icon will offer a series of other note-related options as well.

“We’ve also improved our login and registration flows, fixed lots of bugs and made the app just plain better. Stay tuned, we have lots more in store,” the development team explains.

Evernote for Android is available for download in the Android Market.
