14 DAY TRIAL // Evernote Corp. is proud to announce that, thanks to the Mac App Store, the company has garnered over 40,000 new users on the Macintosh only. In other words, Apple’s idea of a centralized platform for all Mac apps is taking off as anticipated.
In a graph posted by Evernote Corp. on its “noteworthy” blog, each column shows the number of new users that signed up for Evernote every hour starting at midnight on New Year’s Day, up until January 7th.
What Evernote developers would like to point out to is the red portion, which shows how many of those new users came from the Evernote Mac client, according to their post.
“So far, 166,789 new users have started using Evernote in the first few days of 2011. Since the launch of the Mac App Store, more than half of them are coming from the Mac,” Phil Libin blogs for Evernote.
“About 40,000 new users have signed up from the Mac so far.”
He emphasizes that this is new users only, and that “It’s not the same as the total number of downloads from the Mac App Store.
According to Libin, “we had 90,000 of those, from store launch till midnight last night.”
This is because a large number of people downloading the app from the Mac App Store were already registered Evernote users from a different platform, Libin explains.
“All in all, I think getting on the Mac App Store on day one was worth the effort,” he concludes.
Evernote revealed last week that, in order to comply with Apple’s rules, slight differences had to be made to the Mac App Store build.
The three key differences between the version of Evernote available from their official web site, and the one available in the App Store are:
- Users must install the Safari Web Clipper by clicking the option in Preferences > Clipping - The global Print to PDF menu will currently not include Evernote as a destination - There is no option to join the Evernote Beta track.
