Evernote is one of the premiere note taking apps on Android and it's getting a big update today. Version 5.8 improves support for notes made on other platforms and brings some new features to the Android app.

Several of the features in this update were previously available in the beta release, but here's the full changelog from the new public version.

Handwriting

  • Write and sketch inside your notes!
  • Keep handwriting, text, photos, and files in the same note
  • Choose from several colors and line thicknesses

Editor improvements

  • New: Text highlighter
  • Better support for notes made on other platforms
  • Edit content in tables created on other platforms

Note improvements

  • Create a note link to quickly jump between notes
  • Duplicate a note

Better, Faster Camera

The interface hasn't been tweaked in this release – you'll just notice a few more buttons around. The handwriting is probably the biggest change this time. This allows you to add a written note or doodle to any note. If you have a Galaxy Note device, this will be particularly handy. Notes made on other Evernote platforms (even ones with tables and advanced formatting) should be less wonky in the Android app now too. The update should be live for everyone.
