UptonMan 8 Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Why am I having to suggest this when we already had it before you took it away? I did most of my access to Evernote using shortcuts on the home screen to important notebooks. I'm very annoyed and feeling unappreciated as a long-term user. 7
1 matej1990 199 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Yeah I also want to see launcher app shortcuts reimplemented: 2

0 Level 5 PinkElephant 9,017 Posted March 13, 2021 Level 5 Posted March 13, 2021 +1 for the idea. A current workaround would be to create a Table-Of-Content note covering the whole notebook, and pin this note to the home page. To create the links, select the notes and use the "create internal link" function from the notes menu of a desktop client. Or use the legacy client, where TOC is directly supported. If the notebook is changing a lot, it is probably not a good workaround, because the TOC is static after creation. Single links can be added manually, but this will not work in real life when there are many new notes added or deleted.
0 Pastafarian 0 Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 There is ABSOLUTELY no way that the new version should have been released without this function. Removing it was foolish and will hurt your business. That I'm forced to sideload an older version is to maintain functionality is absurd . Do you think I or anyone else pissed about this removal of a vital feature are going to speak well of the service to others? I am once again after many years considering other services to replace Evernote in my life. This didn't have to be!
0 Kisses from France 1 Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Same issue. I just can't seem to understand who in the hell had the bright idea to stop remove shortcuts to notes I used to have on my cellular ? Aren't new versions aiming to improve instead of worstening ?
0 Paul A. 681 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 First release of 2022, version 10.24, and this functionality still hasn't been restored. As a result of this and other issues with the Android app, I'm still not renewing my subscription, no matter how many "discounts" Evernote offers me in the app. Voting with my wallet until the Android app reaches a minimum level of functionality.
0 Paul A. 681 Posted February 17, 2022 Posted February 17, 2022 Bumping this because widgets were (finally) introduced in 10.26, which would have been the perfect time to also implement app shortcuts, but they are not yet here.
0 olee22 5 Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 Edit: only works for notes, not notebooks (or stacks). --- I think this is working now, I can select in the three dot menu of a note "Add note to device homescreen" 1

That was the original request. Also (separate but related), still no app launcher shortcuts, as outlined by @matej1990in his comment below and in my separate post in the "issues" forum:
0 olee22 5 Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 @Paul A. Unfortunately you are correct, only works for Notes, not whole notebooks. I changed my workflow and put everything into a .Inbox folder first, so I can live without it. But if you want to directly add notes to existing notebooks for grouping, this is a must. There are no Launcher shortcuts yet, either. Version 10.29 1
0 gbudden 4 Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 I'm using version 8.13.3 on my android phone and tablet so I can put shortcuts to notes and tags on my homescreen. It's brutal that they took these features away on us 1
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 9,017 Posted July 6, 2022 Level 5 Posted July 6, 2022 "Brutal" - hope you don't experience anything "brutal" in your life that teaches you the true meaning of the word. A "mild nuisance" probably describes it better.

0 gbudden 4 Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Yes, it has been returned as an option, I'm still waiting for tags to be able to be a shortcut on android homescreen.
0 gbudden 4 Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I'm still in using 8.13.3 as I am need to have tags on my homescreen. Has this feature been added to the app? Thank you
0 Evernote Expert agsteele 3,077 Posted January 11, 2023 Evernote Expert Posted January 11, 2023 You can save shortcuts to individual notes on the device home screen plus the various widgets. You can, as ever, save tags to shortcuts and there is a widget that will provide access to those shortcuts on the device screen. 1
