Great update... except presentation mode!

[TimAndSmith 32]

The new update for iOS looks really great with significant improvements in the interface. However, losing presentation mode is a big deal for me. As a someone who teaches and speaks regularly I LOVED presentation mode. I was able to design a speaking outline and then use presentation mode live to just scroll through my notes as I speak. The way it stripped out all other buttons and such made it something I used multiple times a week for the last 2 years. Is there any chance it might come back or something else like it? If there was a way to freeze the keyboard and/or other options/buttons it would get me close enough to where it was before. 

Let me know what you think.

Please bring it back. This feature was important!

I just noticed this as well.  Don't see a reason to remove this feature. It's just one button. Please bring presentation mode back!

[Scott Simpson 2]

Echoing what's been said - I miss Presentation Mode and would love to see it return.

Agreed with all. It's just hard to agree with the company's decision to remove this from the premium version. It's a major problem because I paid to use this feature. How else are we supposed to present our notes when speaking?

 Presentation mode is a key element in the infrastructure of Evernote for many of your users. Not having this dramatically affects the workflow of those who you are here to serve. Please do us all the great service and bring back presentation mode to iOS.

Bring back presentation mode!

I will check out Bear and switch if presentation mode does not come back.

Deadlines are approaching. If you are no longer a solution, then I'll cancel my Premium Subscription and move along.

Presentation mode is important to you so you are switching to a product that  doesn't have presentation mode?

Good bye,  Good Luck

I only purchased Evernote premium recently for presentation mode. I'm on the road had prepared several sales presentations to use when I visit clients. I'm rather upset that the one feature that sold me on premium has been removed. I feel like I have wasted my time with Evernote, taking a laptop out to start a quick presentation is impractical and so I was happy to have the option of quickly using my ipad for this purpose. Very disappointed and evernote has definitely lost much of its value to me with this.

It doesn't look like they will bring it back. It's been over a year now... I'm definitely looking for comparable vendors. This feature was a key driver in my decision to purchase premium. I understand the moral behind allocating resources to better features, but when you are paying for the product, not the free version, and you are specifically paying for a key feature, this is non-sensible. Simplifying is great but there aren't many features to maintain as is.

Absolutely think this is a requirement.

This use case seems to be one of the most important Evernote use cases:

- Give a presentation using the notes on an iPad or iPhone.

And for that, presentation mode makes perfect sense. Even if we could just get a simplified mode that makes everything larger and removes the buttons/keyboard actions. 

For such a great product it is very disappointing to see such a big oversight.

Just unbelievable. How could Evernote remove presentation mode from the iPhone/iPad apps?

I was used to go with Evernote in iPhone in my lectures without the need to carry extra hardware. Connected the iPhone to the projector, activated presentation and voila. I could go on with the conference without needing anything else.

How could they remove a so useful feature?

And why has Evernote not posted even one answer to the thread after more than a year? Totally unacceptable.

For technical or commercial reasons?

Evernote has (AFAIK) never explained a decision to remove a feature - presumably because they don't have to do so,  and because having taken a commercial decision they're not likely to amend it because they receive less than 100 complaints from 225M users.  Plus that decision is now nearly 2 years old...

I echo this. I use Evernote to create a note to display information on products I sell. It would be extremely helpful to be able to present from an iOS device. If I don’t have my laptop I pretty much need to create the same note in Keynote or PowerPoint in order to present from my iPhone. I would also like to embed video in a note.

Yes, please bring Presentation mode back
