As Evernote gets more and more portrayed as a GTD app, and people use it to manage their daily tasks, I would like to suggest an easier way to transition between tags in the Android (iOS) app. Assume I select a tag "Today". All my tasks from today are here. However I want to push back on two items to "Later". Now I have to edit tags for each individual item which will be cumbersome.
What if, drag and drop will allow me to drag a task/note to a new tag? This will add the tag. For "moving" one could suggest show a dialog after the drop action which mentions "Move to tag" and "Copy to tag". Similarly, a special selector like a "move" button will do the same as it removes all (multi selected) notes from the current task under view, and add them to the one dropped on.
This will help tremendously for the flow of selecting the next thing to do. I hope a similar system will be implemented for apps soon, as I work mainly from my tablet, and tag manipulation is still a bit of a usability problem there (no tag nesting possible, no nested tags in search window,etc).
