I'm a big fan of Evernote and have been using it for at least 3 years now. It's undoubtedly the best app of its niche, by a mile and half.
However, the latest iOS Evernote's versions for iPhone and iPad left me with the impression that the developers put great effort on the interface and changed it so much that it worsened the user experience.
The app was just fine. Now there are lots of things that are 1 more click away, which is bad UX. Other things you just can't customize, or can't filter.
For instance: if I want to filter my notes by date reminder, there isn't an option available. The filtering options are few. We have to have all the options available, like on the Desktop version.
Also if you want to create a reminder you have to click on a button, then select the reminder. Then the icon appears, then you click on the icon. Then you select that you want to add a date and then you have to roll until you get to your specific date.
See how many clicks? That's just bad UX. BTW, this calendar format should be changed. It's terrible to roll forever and ever if I want to create a reminder for, say, a year from today. And I frequently do this, so having a more flexible calendar would be better. You guys could look into that
Also, sometimes when writing a note, if I roll up or down, the keyboard sort of freezes and disappears, then a semi-menu pops and locks in the middle of the screen. To make it disappear I have to roll the page all way down and then up again.
Just weird.
To sum up: good UI, not so good UX. That's my take on the new version, but I'm sure you guys will keep on adjusting and making it better.
Please, take into consideration the things I pointed out. The windows version is fine, btw.
