Nazmus 0 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hi folks! My name is Nazmus, and if you do not know yet, there seems to be a special version of Evernote for Windows 8 coming soon! This version will only work on Windows 8 (not Windows 7 or earlier) and be available through the Windows 8 App Store. As with all new Windows 8 "metro style" apps, this app is designed for both touch and mouse/keyboard. It will also run fullscreen and will be more enjoyable to use! Here's quick preview of the WIndows Store. You can see a big Evernote for Windows 8 tile. Note, this is NOT the Evernote for Windows 7, but rather, it is a completely, new, and redesigned app! Windows 8 Beta arrives late February of 2012, when we would expect to see this app be available for download. Link to comment
Limegreen 8 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Cool, would be sweet with a native metro app to be ready for the launch of the beta. Still, I'm sure the current Evernote will also be compatible with the Windows 8 desktop legacy mode. Link to comment
Nazmus 0 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yes, the current version is, indeed, able to run on Windows 8's legacy desktop. I am using Evernote as a desktop app right now in Windows 8! Link to comment
amer 19 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Glad to see that Evernote will be on the Win 8 bandwagon from the very start.... I can't wait to get my hands on a Win 8 based convertible a la Acer Transformer Prime... Link to comment
Rob Campbell 2 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I do not see any way to run Evernote on the Windows 8 desktop. It opens in to Metro, and in the Charm search results it does not offer any way to pin it to the desktop taskbar (and therefore run it in that environment) Also the functionality in the Metro environment is inexplicable. I don't see any way to navigate around, search or see my notebooks. Charm search doesn't seem to be supported. I'm quite puzzled by what I'm seeing, Link to comment
cbits 12 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I cannot find Evernote, or more importantly Skitch anywhere on the Metro Store, plenty of general links (Softronic etc), they in fact lead to Microsoft where nothing happens...I want to try skitch but it's pretty pointless on a phone screen so weve tried to find it to get it to work on our windows 8 pre-release Beta system.I have to say we have spent hours, but most of this is down to the appalling interface(s) of Windows 8, with nothing being findable and no explanations, really I suggest you guys program for existing Windows as Eight will likely be Microsoft's Armageddon Link to comment
dlu 628 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks! We're very excited about Windows 8 Link to comment
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,318 Posted July 12, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thanks! We're very excited about Windows 8 I am excited about trying it out as well. I really liked the Windows interface on mobile, and it will be interesting to see how Evernote incorporates the design elements of the platform into the app. Most importantly, as always, Evernote is there at launch. Good job maintaining prominent positions in all of the app stores. This promises to be an exciting year for Windows users As for armageddon, I guess after using Windows for so long I have a little more faith in them to get it right. It is a lot more daring than anything they have done in the past (at least, it seems that way to me), but I think it is about time that they step up and re-brand themselves. One thing you can say about the new UI: it is distinctive! Link to comment

There's currently a glitch with the Metro Beta Appstore and both apps are not showing up, so we're trying to get that straightened out ASAP. Rest assured, when Metro is released, full-featured versions of both Evernote and Skitch will be there on day 1. Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,146 Posted July 12, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted July 12, 2012 From what I have been able to determine, the Windows 8 demo is still a month away and the RTM version is at least 2 months away.I find it odd that Evernote is tooting their horn so soon.Especially considering all the previous staff forum messages about the Evernote policy of not revealing release information or their roadmap.

Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,111 Posted July 12, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted July 12, 2012 Rest assured, when Metro is released, full-featured versions of both Evernote and Skitch will be there on day 1.Is EN Mac also going to be ready on day 1 when Mac Mountain Lion is released? Link to comment
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,318 Posted July 12, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted July 12, 2012 As far as I know, Evernote has been there for every major release date, so I'd say it is pretty likely we'll se a Mountain Lion optimized version from the first day (assuming Apple gets it into the store in a timely manner -- Evernote has no control over the app store owners).Having Evernote on the screen with the Windows 8 demo was a major marketing coup, and I am glad to see that the developers succeeded in completing it. Great for Evernote (more users downloading it) and great for us (the increased revenue will fund more products and features down the road). I don't think this was Heather breaking ranks and letting us know about something on the road map. She is just reiterating a commitment they have already made clear (I am pretty sure Phil Libin has publicly discussed this commitment to being in the app stores on day 1), and as you know with the "due dates", Evernote is not averse to letting a few things slip now and again. What would a rule be without some exceptions? Link to comment

I'd say that I'll go give Heather a stern talking, honestly... that's not going to happen :0 Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,146 Posted July 12, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted July 12, 2012 It is nice to see Evernote taking a more open position regarding new features coming down the pipeline. Link to comment
dlu 628 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 It is nice to see Evernote taking a more open position regarding new features coming down the pipeline.I would say a new platform launch is different than new features. I would even say that a brand new platform (Windows 8) is fairly different than updating an old one (OSX Lion to Mtn Lion). Link to comment
heather 604 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 This isn't in any way a departure. If it's been released to the public, we'll talk about it. If it hasn't, we don't. Our Skitch and Windows Metro apps are in the Appstore already, and are free to install for anyone who has that platform, so.......... Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,146 Posted July 12, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Per the OP: "there seems to be a special version of Evernote for Windows 8 coming soon!"From my perspective, it is refreshing to see the marketing vault door opened a little bit. Link to comment
lerka101 7 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I finally found time to play with windows 8, and I can't seem to find the evernote metro app in the store. I found skitch, but not evernote itself. It's just not in the store. Help? Link to comment

Mark Pearce 0 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Still nothing? Is there any reason why the MSI can't be posted as you do with the normal windows betas? Link to comment
dlu 628 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Still nothing? Is there any reason why the MSI can't be posted as you do with the normal windows betas?Just went up about 12 hours ago. For Windows 8, I believe you'll need to download apps from the Windows Store Link to comment

FrankEmser 4 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 FYI: The German section of the store shows a really strange graphics.CompareEnglish (nice graphics):http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/en-us/app/evernote/5aba7f8c-318f-42aa-9590-b1fc31e5cba6German (weird graphics)http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/de-de/app/evernote/5aba7f8c-318f-42aa-9590-b1fc31e5cba6Not really appealing...

When can we see a better more user-friendly interface for Windows 8 users? Link to comment
dlu 628 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 There's really no need to post in three separate threads about this. I feel like I'm chasing you around to answer your questions On your desktop, go to Evernote.com and download 4.5.10 That will install and run on the desktop side of Windows 8 Pro Link to comment
