blackcows 9 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I really love the EN products., been using them for a few years and always appreciate the ease of use. One question I have is in regards to the iOS apps and getting back to the home screen. Many time I drill into a note and see what I want to see and end up leaving it there. The next time I use the ap that is where it opens to requiring me to back out of the note. Not a big deal but wondering if there is any one tap way to get back to the home screen on EN?

mossalot 2 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It would be awesome to access notebooks, notes, and shortcuts through an icon on the home screen, but I am pretty sure there is no way to do it at this time. If anybody knows a workaround, I would love to know it as well. Using this feature would cut the load time for accessing my shortcuts by more than 50% and reduce 3 clicks down to just 1.

Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted February 1, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 1, 2015 You can have a shortcut to your shortcuts on your IOS home screen. Go to Settings - Customize Home Screen and select which sections you want to see there. One click to see the shortcuts, one click to select, plus scrolling I suppose if you have a lot of shortcuts. Single click for notebooks if you don't have a lot of notebooks. FWIW. Link to comment
mossalot 2 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thank you for the suggestion. The shortcut on the Evernote home screen was the one I was referring to that takes 3 clicks. If there was a way to have one on the iOS home screen, it would take 1 click. Something similar to the safari browsers add to home screen option. Or even the ability to see shortcuts in the widget area would take it down to a swipe and click. It may be a limitation of iOS. I'm not a programmer, so I have no clue. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted February 1, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 1, 2015 We are on the same page. Out of interest I just have two clicks or taps; swipe/tap shortcuts on the home screen and then tap the shortcut I want. What is the third tap? Link to comment
mossalot 2 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I forgot one action. It is actually 4 actions in the current setup, not 3. This is for Evernote 7.6.4.313631 on an iPad mini running iOS 8.1.3. Current Way to Access a Shortcut1. Tap to open Evernote2. Tap the elephant icon at the top left3. Tap/Swipe shortcuts4. Tap the shortcut needed Desired Way to Open Shortcut1. Tap Evernote shortcut icon on iOS homescreen OR 1. Swipe down at top of screen2. Tap shortcut within Evernote widget Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted February 2, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ah, I wasn't including opening EN and I have the shortcuts section on my home screen. With EN open my two taps are1. Tap Shortcuts on the home screen2. Tap the shortcut needed. So in the current world you can at least save yourself one tap by having shortcuts appear on the home screen. Link to comment
Dropper 4 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I have shortcuts to Evernote searches, notes and notebooks on my Android homescreen. This is just part of the Android app. Is this still not possible to replicate on iOS? Hoping someone can advise! Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,736 Posted May 14, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted May 14, 2016 My shortcut list shows on my IOS home screen You may have it turned off; Check your "Customize Home Screen" options in Settings Link to comment
