Evernote 5.1 Update Adds Syncing Reminders, Better Copy & Paste, And A Few Bugfixes

Posted by in Applications, News

A to-do list/syncing note application and reminders go together like egg and cress. It makes you wonder why Evernote hasn't included a reminder/alarm function until now, but whatever the reason, it's been added in the 5.1 Android app update. Just tap the alarm icon on a new note to add one. Reminders for notes or events go in the greater "My Notes" list, allowing you to mark them off as you complete them. Android notifications will keep you up to speed on your approaching deadlines, and you can add email reminders as well.

Evernote's visual design is worthy of attention here.

Evernote Introduces Three New Features To Keep Your Account Secure: Two-Step Verification, Access History, And Authorized Applications

Posted by in Applications, News

Whether we're talking about Twitter, Gmail, bank accounts, or anything else accessible on the web, account security is no joke. As a result, we're starting to see more and more companies take advantage of advanced security methods like two-factor authentication, which requires the user to not only entire a username and password, but also a code typically send via SMS to the user's cell phone. This means that a physical device must be accessible, making it much more difficult for would-be snoopsters to remotely gain access to an account.

Update: Apparently two-step verification is rolling out for premium and business users now, and will be available for free users at a later date.

Google Glass Getting Social Media, News, and Productivity Apps, Becoming More Useful Every Day

Posted by in Apps/Games, Glass, News

Ah, Google Glass. Though the venerable headset has a lot of potential, it has yet to become something people want to use all the time. If you're a social media addict, a news junkie, or a productivity pro, though, Google's heads-up computer just got a lot more compelling. Today at I/O, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, CNN, Elle, and Evernote pledged to support Glass by releasing official applications - "glassware," as Google calls them. Facebook's app is available now.

The social media apps do what you'd expect: post pictures and text. Facebook's app allows users to upload photos to their timelines and add descriptions with voice.

Springpad Reaches v4.0, Brings A New Look, Enhanced Functionality, And Better Sharing

Posted by in Applications, News

If you were to throw Evernote and Pinterest in a room together and give them enough time to breed, the end result would be Springpad 4.0. That's not to say anything bad about the new Springpad update, of course – both Evernote and Pinterest are fantastic apps. And their little bundle of joy got its father's usefulness (Evernote) and its mother's good looks (Pinterest). It's a win all around.

Existing users of Springpad should still feel right at home in the app, but will notice a more streamlined approach to accessing their "Springs," which also includes Springs from followed users as well.

Evernote 5.0 Released For Android, Introduces Smart Notebook Compatibility And Document Search For Premium Users

Posted by in Applications, News

If you're an Evernote user, you might want to head over to the Play Store and check for updates. The latest version of the popular note taking app just landed, and it's packing some pretty neat features for both non-premium and premium users.

One of the biggest changes in the new version is the introduction of Page Camera, which take photos of physical documents and digitize them in your notebooks. The Android app is now also compatible with the Smart Notebook by Moleskine, which has specially formatted paper making it easy to bring your notes into the digital world.

Evernote Experiences Security Breach, Resets Passwords As A Precaution

Posted by in Applications, News

The problem with relying on cloud services is that they are prime targets for hackers. Earlier today, popular note-storing service Evernote acknowledged that it had detected "suspicious activity" on the network. In its blog post, Evernote specified that the intruder(s) had only gained access to account details, including usernames, email addresses, and encrypted passwords. The announcement further clarified that passwords are protected with one-way encryption, a process where a password is first salted and then hashed to make decryption extraordinarily difficult. The company also states that no content (stored notes and pictures) or payment information had been compromised. Aside from email addresses, the wrong-doers failed to get anything particularly valuable.

Skitch Updated To Version 2.0 With Revamped Interface, Improved Evernote Integration, New Markup Tools

Posted by in Applications, News

Skitch, a popular annotation and sharing app, received an update to version 2.0 today with a redesigned interface, a handful of useful markup tools, and improved Evernote integration.

For those unaware, Skitch is an app that allows users to "communicate visually with friends, co-workers, or anyone." Essentially, it can draw in resources like notes, photos, screenshots, or maps, and then add markup to convey ideas or highlight important aspects of the document for later reference or sharing. The app was acquired by Evernote late last year, and today's 2.0 update gives Skitch the "full Evernote treatment."

This not only means a new interface, but full Evernote sync with improved integration (when Evernote is installed), the ability to view and edit Skitch notes made using the app on other platforms, and last but not least, a couple of new editing tools including a pixelator and highlighter.

Evernote App Updated To Version 4.2, Brings Jelly Bean Notification Enhancements

Posted by in Apps/Games, News

If you've ever needed to jot down a quick note on the go, I hope you used Evernote to do it. The Evernote service, and the accompanying app, make it easy to keep all your notes in the cloud. This app has long had great features like audio notes, notebook categorization, and tagging. Now Evernote is getting a little more awesome for anyone running Jelly Bean.

Evernote For Android Updated To Version 4.1, Brings All New Tablet UI And Enhanced Functionality

Posted by in Applications, News, Tablets

I love Evernote. In fact, I don't go a single day without using it. And today, I love it even more. The Evernote Team just pushed an update to the Android app that makes it even more useful on tablets by introducing an all-new user interface.

Here's what I love about it: the old interface was good. It was functional and intuitive, I had no complaints. But the new interface is better and more intuitive. They introduced a fantastic new swiping-style layout that lets you flick through notes and notebooks (much like the phone app). Once a notebook is opened, though, it's quite similar to the previous interface and scrolls vertically.

Evernote Food: Now You Can Save, Share And Relive That Deep-Fried Triple Twinkie Bacon Sandwich In Excruciating Detail

Posted by in Applications, News

While after a discussion we at Android Police were unable to determine exactly why Evernote couldn't implement the functionality of its newest Android app, Food, into the existing Evernote app, we were able to settle on one thing: people take too many pictures of the things they eat. Evernote Food wants you to do this more, though, and has a veritable cornucopia of tools at your disposal to make you the ultimate delicacy documentarian.

In all seriousness, this does look to be a pretty good app for creating your own visual, step-by-step recipes (you can take photos and caption them as you go), something I can appreciate.
