November 18, 2011 at 12:03Three innovations in Evernote for Android
Today's update on the Android platform contains three notable innovations. We significantly improved sharing of notebooks, more closely integrated Skitch with Evernote, and created a separate widget application for those who could not use it before. All the details are below. Download Evernote for Android
Now you can open access to your notebooks directly from Evernote for Android, and your Android phone or tablet becomes a very convenient device for working with colleagues or fellow students.
To open access, go to the list of notebooks, and then press and hold your finger on the desired notebook. Then select Sharing settings from the list . There you can provide access to your content. Any of your notebooks can be open to both individual users and everyone in the world. Premium users can also give others the right to edit your notes. Similarly, you can close sharing access to a notebook.
Please note that access to notebooks requires an Internet connection.
Now Evernote for Android contains all the necessary functionality for collaboration. You can open access to notebooks and individual notes, as well as accept invitations to view and edit notebooks open for you by other users and access them directly inside the application.
Our Skitch image annotation app is becoming more popular. In less than three months, more than one and a half million people downloaded it. This means that a lot of people will like this update, because now using Skitch from Evernote is easier than ever:
After returning to Evernote, you will be asked if you want to replace the old image or add a new one next to the old one (in the second case, the annotated image will be added to the end of the note).
Many people are happy to use the Evernote widget, but there are also enough users who have never had the opportunity to use it. The fact is that if Evernote is installed on an SD card, the widget will not be available (this, unfortunately, is a limitation of the operating system itself). Therefore, we made a separate application for the widget, which works regardless of where Evernote was installed. We recommend downloading Evernote Widget to all users.
The widget's goal is to provide quick access to key Evernote features. You can create text, audio recordings and photos, as well as go directly to the search. If you selected a large widget in the settings, you can also view recent notes. To install the widget, press and hold your finger on the home screen, and then select Evernote Widget from the list that appears.

We also fixed a number of errors and made many improvements aimed at improving stability and language support. Evernote users on other platforms will receive new collaboration features in the near future. We are also actively working on Skitch for iOS. In general, stay tuned.

More features from Skitch
Our Skitch image annotation app is becoming more popular. In less than three months, more than one and a half million people downloaded it. This means that a lot of people will like this update, because now using Skitch from Evernote is easier than ever:
- If the picture is displayed in a note, press and hold your finger on the picture, then select the Edit in Skitch item ; if the picture is displayed in slideshow mode, just click on the Skitch icon in the tool menu at the bottom of the screen.
- Make the necessary notes on the image in Skitch.
- Click on the elephant icon in the tool menu to return the image to Evernote.
After returning to Evernote, you will be asked if you want to replace the old image or add a new one next to the old one (in the second case, the annotated image will be added to the end of the note).
