Anyone see any information on when Evernote plans to update the iOS app to support opening two versions of Evernote side by side?  It seems like that iPadOS feature was made with note taking apps like Evernote in mind... not seeing any info about when they expect to release it?

Really surprised that (a) these features have not been added to the menu bar quick entry form yet OR (b) that some third party developer hasn't come up with an App that could do the same thing.  There are like 10 different quick entry apps for iOS, but none for Mac (that I am aware of)

+1!

 It is a difficult process to add/change/clear reminders on both the Mac and iOS apps... but particularly odd for the mac app, since everything else has such great keyboard shortcuts

Yeah, I was hoping for an actual copy of the note as well. 

I have done some searching and can’t seem to find a way to do this...

Is there an integration that can email the body of a note when the reminder is coming due? Ideally it would also be nice to include a link back to the note?

Question might be why the need to get back to the email?  I do the follow up within EN not my email app.  For me on the rare occasion I want to specifically respond with the email I drag the email into the note.  FWIW.

Thanks for the feedback.  I need to look into the way you attach the actual email, as I am not familiar with that.  Also, usually I am processing my email from my iOS device (which is how this started with question about setting reminder from the share menu).

Ultimately, the need to go back to the email is to send a response or follow up inside the chain after the follow up period I am hoping to monitor in Evernote. 

I appreciate the help...

Just curious as to your user case for the reminders.

I have been using Evernote for nearly 10 years, but am very new to using the reminders feature. However, I have been trying to use it for emails to help reduce the number of emails hanging out in my inbox to follow up on something. 

Unfrotunately, my email app of choice (AirMail) does not give ANY options on the send to Evernote feature (no notebooks, tags or reminders), which means I have to process the same email twice (once in AirMail and again in Evernote).  Therefore, I have been using the Share function, which at least let’s me set notebook and tags, but it is a lengthy process to switch over to Evernote to set the reminder. 

I may start using the “forwarding” option for setting reminders, but then I lose the link back to the specific email I get when using the “Share” option.

It seems odd that the reminders feature is missing from the Evernote “share” widget, since they have had the reminders feature so long.

Thanks... that is what I suspected.  Certainly not a huge issue, but would be a nice improvement if you could set reminders while sharing.

I was hoping there may be a third party solution, but I haven't found one.  FastEver has the ability to set reminders when entering notes, but you can't seem to send stuff to FastEver through the iOS "Share" menu (from what I have seen). 

I guess for now it requires sending to Evernote, then going to the "All Notes" in Evernote iOS app to set the reminder date.

Maybe I am missing it, but is there a way to set a reminder from the “share” to Evernote from iOS? (ie the box with upward arrow)

It appears there is only an option to set the notebook and tags... which is unfortunate since it requires going into the Evernote App to find the new note and set a reminder.

Any suggested workarounds?

+1 agree completely... it appears that the "Save to Evernote" add in puts a link to outlook webmail, but it doesn't work for me.  Ideally it should link to the email inside the local app.

I haven't looked at Penultimate in a long time, but am a heavy user of GoodNotes 5.  However, there are definitely use cases where I want to jot down some handwritten notes in an existing EverNote Note... but the "sketch" feature makes the text barely legible (with my handwriting).

Is it just a feature of iOS that makes the strokes look like a fountain pen? 

Screenshots of the sketch feature seem to use normal pen thickness

https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/213493077-How-to-add-hand-drawn-sketches-to-Evernote-on-iOS-devices

Is there any way to select the type of ink when you add a handwritten sketch to EverNote for iPad? I know you can change color and thickness, but the style of the ink is like a fountain pen, with drastic changes in thickness. I an not sure if it is my handwriting style, but it makes my notes pretty illegible. Can you choose to have a ballpoint per, or consistent thickness to your stroke?

Also, it would be nice if you could change the settings for the background dots... the' are puts narrow ruled for guiding handwritten notes or jotting down text. 

+1 for a feature that would allow you to send an email to Evernote (not forwarding to an email address), and include a link back to the original email in Mail App.

This feature would make it so much easier to follow up on emails and keep track of various emails that are parts of projects.  Right now, if I want to follow up on emails in Evernote by forwarding them, I then need to go back to Mail to search for those emails when I want to send a follow up email or reply to the prior message.  

I have considered getting Mail Tags or some other app that will allow me to tag and organize the emails better without sending them to Evernote, but I prefer to have the emails and all of my notes, etc. in one central location (which is what Evernote is supposed to be).

Seems like this should be a feature that can be done... OmniFocus has a similar functionality where you can have links to emails within TODO items, where clicking the link opens the mail item.
