Evernote for Android has just been updated with a new tablet interface, and the ability to create rich text notes. Surprisingly, many of these new features hit the Android version first, and will become available for iOS soon – it’s usually the other way around. Evernote users on the Android platform, especially for those using Android tablets, have a lot to look forward to.
There is a new note-taking method that includes several new features like the ability to record audio or attach files to your notes. Search has been improved by using geo-location features under advanced search options to improve results with things you’re looking for. Map view has also been added to give your notes, photos and everything else better context – sometimes it helps knowing where you took certain notes or photos for reference.
You’ll also be able to create and edit rich text notes on Evernote for Android:
Whenever you create or edit a note on any Android device, you’ll see a new bar above the keyboard. That bar lets you assign a notebook and tags to the note, attach images and files and also style the text. Swipe the bar to show all the text formatting options: bold, italic, underline, bullet list, numbered list, and checkbox. Tap on the option(s) you like, and type away. Lists and checkboxes will continue when you go to the next line.
If you’re not yet an Evernote user, you might want to consider it for taking notes, recording audio, snapping photos and making lists and other reminders. It’s free, and there is an upgraded paid version, and works well across different platforms and devices. I can’t imagine anyone who takes notes – whether it’s for work, school, interviews or anything else – living without the app and service. With this new update, especially, it seems many user concerns have been addressed on top of the additional features included. You can check it out in the Android Market.
