esoj413@gmail.com 4 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Is there any way to turn off the "recent" notes that appear at the top of my notebooks on Evernote for iPhone? It may seem nitpicky, but I feel as though it's unnecessary additional clutter on the screen. I can see that it could be useful to many, but for me, I index my files well, so I can find what I need with ease. Link to comment

esoj413@gmail.com 4 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Unfortunately, that didn't work, but thank you for your response. Link to comment
esoj413@gmail.com 4 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Maybe I should be a little more specific...I mean when you select "notebooks" there's a recent section that shows most recent notes. Is there a way to turn that off? Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted June 7, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hmmm. If I press Notebooks on the home screen the only thing I get on the next screen are my notebooks. The only recent notes I see are on the home screen under Notes, per the above setting. Don't know what to tell you. Post a screen shot if you like. Link to comment
Frank.dg 1,385 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I think you mean "recent notebooks" section.The recent notebooks section is indeed there... Shows the latest 3 notebooks accessed. It's not possible to hide that section at the moment... But I agree that it should be. Especially on an iPhone. One inevitably has to scroll down to access your notebooks or stacks ordered to show at the top of the list... And I'm assuming most people prefix their notebooks to have specific ones at the top. Even if the recent notebooks section is easily accessible and shows the notebooks one is likely looking for, we are creatures of habit and establish pathways/ patterns to get to where we want to... one has to pause for a split second to see if the recent notebooks section has what you're looking for.

Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted June 7, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted June 7, 2015 Maybe I don't see that since I only have 5 synced notebooks? Another benefit to controlling the NB chaos? Unknown as it may have been... Link to comment

Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted June 7, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted June 7, 2015 What it looks like without recent, and only 5 notebooks, and using a stack.. Link to comment
Frank.dg 1,385 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Cal, I can tell from your inbox that you stay on top of things ;-)I have 149 notebooks spread between about 12 stacks. That number is coming down as I consolidate into tag categories... But still, I do see the point of the recent notebooks section perhaps needing an opt out in settings for some.Quick question: I'm assuming that if you view all notes in that stack, you're in fact viewing all notes in your account, right?That looks like a quicker way to get back to all notes when you come out of a notebook.

esoj413@gmail.com 4 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 The tag system is great. It's easy for me to look for a project in my AMS folder using tag "ams.projects". I don't need to see most recent notes, but I do understand it's a useful feature for many. Link to comment
esoj413@gmail.com 4 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 So for my AMS stack (work) I separate notebooks according to different facets of company business I tend to. I.e AMS stack with a projects notebook, references notebook, adwords notebook, etc. each notebook contains information relevant to that topic or task. Maybe I should reevaluate my structure? I don't know..it works for me I'm just complaining about the recent notes. Seems trivial, but it's annoying to me. Link to comment
Frank.dg 1,385 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Recent NOTEBOOKS. Recent notes can be seen on the home screen and while searching... Which can be configured in settings. You're talking about recent notebooks under your notebooks section, which cannot be hidden. I agree that it is not useful to some. Link to comment
esoj413@gmail.com 4 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yes notebooks, pardon me. Link to comment
esoj413@gmail.com 4 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Well, that answers it. Thank you. Link to comment

Yup, I have two stacks, one for synced notebooks and one for local notebooks (five of those as well). So either Notes on the home screen or EN Stack on the Notebook screen generates the same set of notes. In my case though, I find myself using the tag and shortcut options the most. With five notebooks they are all selectable from the home screen. FWIW. Link to comment
