(Archived) Journal For Evernote

[Martin Packer 162]

I'm impressed with Journal For Evernote (for iPhone and iPad) but I have a couple of questions to start this thread off with. (I'm hoping it can become a useful general discussion on J4E.)

If I add entries for a day on my iPhone and then add some more on my iPad what is supposed to happen? A single note for the day - assuming I sync both clients with the Evernote servers?

Also, what is supposed to happen if I edit the note in Evernote during the day? (I created a single entry "Test" (natch) :-) in J4E and wonder if I can just remove that text.) I could experiment but I'd rather I knew what the design intent was.

(It'd also be wonderful if the developers monitored this thread.)

I use and like Journal for Evernote. However, I only have an iPad so I can not answer your first question.

As to your second, going by memory, I think you can edit an entry in Evernote and the next one entered in J4E should be fine.

Presumably it hunts for the existing entry for the day and just appends new text on the end, storing it back. That would be a reasonably robust thing to do. And I would guess the very act of clicking on the arrow icon does the syncing.

It would be nice if J4E displayed the current state of the day's note - though that's obviously got a big "screen real estate" impact.

Having used it for a few days I now know what it could really use: A webapp. It's a nuisance reaching for an iPhone just to update my journal when cut and paste makes doing it on the laptop better. (I'd still want the iPhone / iPad app, though.)
