May not be of any importance, but if one ever wants to find all notes with [END] in them I would recommend _END since square bracket is not searchable.  FWIW.

???

Open the note, Search in Note, tap the square bracket: goes straight to it! _END works equally well.

Different versions of this solution have already been suggested, but I'll add my approach.  I put the word "endofnote" at the end of all my longer notes.  Then I can just search for that word, and it will go right to it.  I've seen other suggestions like putting the word "end", at the end of the note, but if you have that word in the body of your text, you'll have to skip through several of those before you get to the actual end of the note.  Putting "endofnote" guarantees it will go right to the end.

Perhaps my tip was unclear: to use [END] including the square bracket, to avoid the search finding words like friend, commend, or even end!

"endofnote" would work equally well, if autocorrect doesn't keep jumping in to add the spaces! I guess "end of note" is also relatively unusual text, yet both are significantly more to type, just to reach the end of the note.

Come on, Evernote, please: either a button or a default position at the end of the note!

Hi.  And congratulations,  you are the first person to use the 'simple fix' cliché today...  the problem being that while it may be simple (no idea),  the other thousands of simple (and much less) simple fixes that have already been demanded by users have been scheduled into a 2+ year work calendar.  Which one should this replace?

Not saying it's not a validly good idea - just that Evernote will have to evaluate it and add it to a l-o-n-g list of other works.  Change may come - no telling when.

A little bit harsh, Gazumped, especially to a newbie's first post - and he's making a valid point.

Otherwise a great explanation, which helps us understand why it's still awaited.

Outstanding. Now I need an iOS trick. 

My trick of using [END] (or similar) IS and iOS trick - see the OP. On a Mac, just use cmd+down arrow, as Rona stated.

Like others I do a lot of writing and therefore cannot do bottom up.  Very tedious to have to scroll (especially when moving back and forth between notes!).

Please add quick way to get to bottom, or even better a preference to always go to bottom (I am a Mac and iOS user)

Thanks!!

 

My workaround is to put [END] after a couple of blank lines at the foot of most notes. Then, if I need to add to them on the phone etc, I can search for [ to quickly go to the end. You could use other rarely-used punctuation (combinations), as works for you. (This idea has been mentioned by others, above.)

Come on, Evernote - put an end to "making do"!

Definitely prefer bottom up.

 

Running my business with some 20,000 Notes, I find it works simply and intuitively .

 

So Evernote, keep it as it is please.

 

Best regards

The point is, scrolling from the bottom to the top on a device is simple (e.g. on iPhone, just tap the bar at the top of the screen), not so the other way around.

Therefore, positioning the cursor at the end of the note makes it easy for the user, whichever s/he prefers.

I always add the latest logs to the top of a note...

I started by adding to the bottom of a note, then discovered the issue with the app and instead now add to the top. It has benefits inasmuch as the start of the last note is the first thing you see in snippets and when opening the note.

However, I then received an email relevant to an existing note. Naturally, I forwarded this to my Evernote account and then merged the two notes - of course, the email is at the bottom. If I were adding to my logs at the bottom of notes, this would be just fine.

Further, adding to notes at the bottom also makes later reading easier. Consider keeping a journal in a single note: would it make good (or even easy) reading if the entries were in reverse order?

So Evernote, please, either position the cursor at the end of the note when editing, or give us a quick way to jump there.
