I carry with me multi-GB notebooks, where each note could be a few MB due to pictures and pdfs (for instance food recipes). These are no fit for 4G connections with usage restrictions, and so I have opted to make them offline. Unfortunately, this consumes all available space on my 16GB Android phone (Xperia Z2), and so I have bought a 32GB expansion card. Now customer support is telling me I cannot manually set the download location! This should be user configurable - either on a per-notebook basis, or as a general setting. So I am raising this as a improvement suggestion for the developers. Other threads dealing with this problem: ThisSelectable offline folder path?

When a note is consisting of just one single PDF the concept of showing the thumbnail isn't really satisfying. Especially with small, one or two-page PDFs, why aren't they displayed directly with a double click taking the user to the existing full screen viewer!?

Promote Saved Searches to first class citizen in Evernote
hugocbp posted an idea in Evernote for Mac
I believe one of the biggest improvements that can be made to Evernote without changing much of the product's base is to promote Saved Searches to a "first-class citizen" status, like Notebooks and Tags. After a while, just tags and notebooks are not enough to organize everything, so I rely heavily on saved searches to use Evernote. But the functionality is very hidden and not very intuitive to use. My suggestion would include some things like: 1. Place a "Saved Searches" icon on the sidebar, along with "Notes", "Notebooks" and "Tags" (same hiearchy) 2. Implement a screen to admin saved searches like Tags. Doesn't even need to have hierarchies or anything complicated. Just a place to see a list of saved searches, create a new saved search and remove. 3. Improve flow to create a saved search. The current "Edit > Save Search" is very obscure. Maybe show an icon along with the clear icon on the search bar? 4. OPTIONAL: Ability to link to a saved search inside notes. Thanks!- 5 replies

Hi there, I would like the Helper Icon to allow the user to type #tags @notebooks similar to sending to the Evernote Email and using the subject line. It would allow users to step into the application less frequently to use the functions this would provide. I've attached an image to be clear with the concept because I do appreciate the simplicity of the Helper Icon as it is now. It allows my work to stream out in a manner that differs from the iPhone application yet is still delightful in that difference. It's everyone wishing they could just open up a text document and write's dream. Thank you, Evernote Team. Joseph Anton Carter @enjoyafilmJoe

It would be possible to create a writing system in which a figure stay aligned to the text (Just as we do in word and in blogs)? And I would suggest we can create text boxes to write in separate positions of the note. It would be interesting to have a calculator with basic operations plugged to evernote, so scholars could do math quickly in the note itself. And if possible add Greek symbols and some mathematical operations to the text in the note being left with a more pleasing aesthetic. Thanks

Something annoying has happened on my IOS evernote twice and I was wondering if it can be fixed! I have a list of things to do.. e.g. Type something Eat something Mow something Then I want to turn it into a checklist.. I highlight it all then click the tickable bullet point button. Then all the text disappears and I just get a single tickable bullet point in it's place. Why would anyone select text in order to delete it with a bulletpoint? Word never worked like that and Word is how we're programmed to think! I'm sure the obvious answer is 'select each one and press the button', but this is really faffy on long lists... The other obvious answer is 'create the list with bullet points to start off with', but whatever, sometimes I just dont and this is a bit annoying when it happens (frequent evernote user here!) I was on the android version until a month ago so perhaps the 'select' 'bullet point' combo is where I learned it. Anyway, once my epic list is deleted, I want to 'undo', but I can't!!! I understand you wouldn't want an undo that could unmake the work of others in collaborative things, but for a simple error like this it would really come in handy. Summary: - please allow selected text to become bulletpointed - please give us an undo button

hello, i want to create a huge database on ancient history. this request is regarding creating a document kind of application which has a fine search facility. for example, i want to start writing notes on illiad. i ideally would like to open a simple word kind of document and start writing notes. notes may vary in size, 2 lines/10 ines/ couple of pages. i can leave a line space between the notes to differenciate between two notes or i can number them. now, when i search for a word or words , the notes containing that word should appear (of course in editable/open form). if i search for achilles or war strategy or children of zeus, the notes with the word should be displayed. and only those notes should be displayed and not the entire page on which the note is written. because there could be other unrelated notes on the same page. so, the unit of inputting and search output is very important. and that could be a note as i have described. many academic researchers and others too are looking for a product like this but not finding one. after i finish illiad, i may start on mahabharat. i will open a new doc and start writing notes. thus, i may write notes on many more books. therefore the search facility could be multilayered. if i search for 'chariots' on the first level, all the notes containing 'chariots' from all the books could appear. and if search the word within a single book, the notes from that book only could appear. as evernote has created a good convinient note based app, i am requesting the experts to please create something like what i have described. what we have currently is a little tedious for my kind of job. everytime i have to open a new note/window to write a new note. then i need to think of tags etc. but if all these facilities are incorporated in simple document form, it would be easy to write and search. forgive me for explaining it in detail and in non technical term as i am no expert in this field. thanks.

android Android's Quick Snapshot feature (improvement)
Super CC posted a topic in Evernote for Android
Hello there, I am a very satisfied Evernote paid user who has a quite a good idea to share here, taken from my experience with the Quick Snapshot feature that comes with the Android widgets. Before anything, let me just say that this feature rocks! I'm really glad you brought it to life. Within 3 quick touches, you're done with it: one touch to start it, one touch to automatically autofocus+take the picture, one touch to save it. Brilliant. However, there is one BIG downfall with this feature: the size (resolution, quality) of these pictures can not be changed in the settings. I have a Samsung S4 (16 megapixels) and they are way too big, I believe. The main problems from this situation are: When a note is created in Evernote using this feature, it usually is around 7MB. Problem: This takes a huge chunk out of the monthly upload limit, especially if you use this feature a lot. Another problem created by this is that sometimes (very often if you are not used to this feature), the picture will not be saved properly in the note. You have to use the "rotate" function (from the right-click). Problem 1: When rotating the picture to have it shown properly, Evernote becomes totally unusable for as long as the process of turning it is completed. Problem 2: Another big problem is that it usually takes a full 12 seconds before the picture gets turned, since it's so big in size. To help you, here are some potential solutions I've been thinking about: In Android, we could add an option somewhere in the settings to specify the quality (size) of the pictures taken with the Quick Snapshot (or Snapshot) feature. In Android, there could be an icon that's shown when we're in the "picture-taking" mode with Quick Snapshot (or Snapshot). Something along the lines of "HD". Tap it, and the picture will be taken with a lower resolution. Leave it on (by default), so that the current behavior stays the same for everyone. In Evernote Windows, add a feature when we right-click on a picture to "resize" it easily so that we can save it to a lower format.Thanks in advance & looking forward to hearing from you! Super CC -
Ok, maybe the Apple thing will throw off some of you, but my point is that simple tasks such as creating a "saved search" should NOT require me to look it up. I had to go to the website and knowledge base. Even the apps "Help" couldn't provide an answer. I've been using Evernote for a long time, years. This year I've really been dedicated to going paperless, and so I'm beginning to delve deeper into Evernote, and use it more. Now I see why I haven't been using it more. It is counter intuitive. I really think Evernote should hire a novel team to try the app as beginners and give feedback. After spending 4 hours today, doing what shouldn't have taken that long, because simple things like saving a search weren't readily available. Seriously? There should be a simple "save search" button in the Search Box. Instead, I'm instructed to go to File>Find>Save Search. REALLY!!!! Who in their right minds would think to go to File first of all, and then "FIND?" I just searched, I know what I found. And then Save search. That menu isn't even clear that it is saving your current search. It was so counter intuitive, I had to look it up AGAIN, the next time I wanted to do it. COME ON!!! Apple products, that's just what I use, anticipate what I want to do. Sometimes to the creepy point, as in when I walk into a Walgreen's it pulls up my loyalty card. But more usefully, it thinks ahead and provides simple solutions or options that appear readily available. Evernote is a great idea. Actually a stellar idea. But unless you are a programmer, accomplishing more than just creating a note, can be...frustrating, extremely frustration when all you want to do is...SAVE A SEARCH!!! I think if your budget is tight, you should spend less on advertising and selling the program as easy, and actually make it easy. Then, it will sell itself. Proud Premium Member, for now.

Dear Evernote team, I would really find it useful If If it was possible to create a new notebook directly from a note, for example in the dropdown menu where I choose the Notebook. The functionality would be the same as when you ad a pin to a pinboard in Pinterest : here you can either create a new board or chose an existing. Is this kind of functionality on it's way ? Thank you, Marie -
Hello, I use Evernote for a wide range of daily tasks. One of them is taking notes for my college classes. I find myself summarizing chapters in text books that I can use for references later on. One feature I think would be worthwhile would be having the ability to highlight a word, righ click, and have an option to "define." I think this would be a great tool for students who are taking notes in class, but might not know the meaning a certain words they are taking notes on. Thanks! Cole -
Hi, I am an avid Evernote user and find it great for not only managing work but also play, with it acting as a social management tool (similar to a business CRM). However it has its limitations at present, and i wanted to know whether Evernote would be able develop added functionality along the lines of: - Notes to be viewed in a visual timeline? - Notes to be viewed in calendar format? - Actions to be added to notes that can be viewed in a separate list for managing "to dos"? I personally would find these enhancements extremely useful and would like to know in this forum whether people agree or have other ideas that could assist in making the tool even better! bdh -
windows (Archived) Cursor jumps to the first note in the list
andre99 posted a topic in Windows Archive
Each time when a list of notes is updated (eg. if you remove a keyword on a note in the list) the list seem to be generated anew, and the cursor is removed to the first note in the list. It would be better if the cursor would stay on the position as close as possible to ist last position. -
Evernote 5 is beautiful, way to go! One suggestion: I don't often use .doc files, but sometimes the people with whom I share notebooks do. Could you guys consider building evernote such that it would display the text inside the doc, instead of forcing us to do a "quick look?" That would make it much easier to quickly glance at notes with doc files, and speed up the workflow somewhat. I'm also not sure if the type-ahead search indexes inside those files. That would be another good improvement. Keep up the good work -
firefox (Archived) improvement proposal for Web Clipper
Pin9777 posted a topic in Web Clipper Archive
Hi! I must mention that Evernote and Web Clipper are awesome tools. Simple, flexible and useful with excellent integration. Perfect to capture and preserve important information. But I noticed that there are still a lot of pages where Web Clipper is totally inefficient because it is not able to extract any information from the page except page url (for example pages like this one http://tinyurl.com/ceb6xrf). Contradictory, everything works out perfectly if I manually copy the area of interest, open a new note in Evernote, and paste it in there. It even automatically fill page url and note title, as it supposed to. So, is it possible to put that "copy/new_note/paste" actions in one/few click action and do the Web Clipper even more flexible and useful? From my user point of view, to accomplish that without hurting the simplicity, my proposal is to just add another option like copy/paste along with existing clip article, clip full page and clip url options. Another great solution would be to put that action to already existing RM->Add to Evernote->New note option. So if nothing is selected just open a new note like now, but if something is selected open new note, paste selected and fill title and url. I would be very delightful if you will consider my propositions, and even more delightful if you will fulfil them. If not both, then at least one of them Regards -

Hello, I love evernote, but an inconvenience has cropped up that (I'm sure) plagues many users. I've been using evernote as my primary note source, then onenote, then catch . The problem is I'm a college student and can't afford to be a premium member and exceed the 50mb size limit. I propose a method similar to Amazon prime, allowing students at universities to get a free year or so of added premium space- they can then continue to use premium space at a discounted price (as long as they're a student) then pay the full fee or simply revert back to the 50mb limit. With countless pdfs, powerpoints, pictures [anatomy, diagrams, charts, ect...) the small limit simply doesn't cut it. When I went on a study abroad trip in Europe, I pondered how wonderful it would be to log onto a tablet, or go to the library and have all my data ready to go. This would certainly attract many students to evernote. Please take this into consideration. -
