Evernote has delivered a transformative update to its iOS app with version 8.0. Longtime users will feel like they're launching a entirely refreshed app, complete with a revamped user interface, enhanced features, and noticeably faster performance.
Here's a detailed breakdown of the major changes:
Navigation Menu
The sidebar navigation now prioritizes essentials: Notes, Search, New Note, Shortcuts, and Account. The prominent green plus button for New Note offers quick-tap creation of a standard note, or hold for options like Audio, Photo, or Reminder. Work Chat has shifted to the Account tab for seamless collaboration with other Evernote users.
Notes Tab
Goodbye to the busy green backdrop—welcome a crisp white interface with your notes list taking center stage, rather than notebooks. Choose from three list views, each supporting previews of note text or PDF covers. Customize preview size (small, medium default, or large), and use the menu to toggle images or text for a minimalist vibe.
Hidden Notebooks
Notebooks are now tucked into a convenient dropdown via the All Notes button at the top. Filter by tags using the button beside the search bar, with recently updated notebooks surfaced first for easy access.
Search
Search your notes effortlessly from the top bar in the Notes tab, or dive deeper across your entire account (notes, notebooks, tags) via the dedicated Search tab. Tag filtering remains handy next to the search field.
And More
Discover a new Shortcuts tab highlighting recent notes. Switch effortlessly between business and personal accounts in the Account section. Formatting has leveled up too, with text size options (small, medium, large) and color customization right in the app.
