However, after the upgrade, the most noticeable change you’ll see upon first launch of the new Evernote iOS app is the redesign. (CardMunch on iOS hasn’t been updated since 2011, and we’ve been hearing rumors of its forthcoming demise). Business card scanning has been improved so you can quickly add scanned cards to your device’s contacts – handy, since LinkedIn has practically abandoned its CardMunch acquisition while focused more heavily on its newer Contacts app. The apps are also promised to be faster and more responsive, as you navigate and make changes. You can also choose to have this button displayed below the Settings gear, for easier viewing, says the company in a blog post detailing the new apps’ feature set. The iOS apps arriving today seem to be taking advantage of the backend improvements, and now include a “sync status” feature that tells you how recently items have been synced. At the time, the company said that refreshed mobile apps would arrive, too, as well as an API update.

Since then, Evernote has been publicly working to address not only the problems themselves, but also the perception that the company’s software has become unreliable.Įvernote actually started rolling out fixes yesterday, with an update to its synchronization platform that’s now four times faster. The company has been struggling with glitches and bugs related to slipping software development – something which CEO Phil Libin admitted to following a scathing, but accurate, post by former TechCrunch writer Jason Kincaid. The new apps are promised to be faster, easier to use and more customizable, with homescreens you can adjust to fit your needs, better business card scanning, bug fixes and more. Evernote’s ongoing plan to improve its technology platform is taking another step forward today with the release of updated apps for iPhone and iPad.
