Luckily for anyone who doesn't want to spend money, Evernote's free service is robust, with plenty of features and few limitations. If you aren't a premium subscriber, you'll simply see related notes from your Evernote account below your current note. Magazine, the Wall Street Journal and other publications for the articles you see in Context. Evernote partnered with Fast Company, Inc. I find it appears most often below other articles I've clipped, but it's also supposed to show up when your notes have keywords that also pertain to any news articles. For more information about it, check out CNET's review of Evernote's iOS app.įinally, Context is another premium-only feature that surfaces relevant news articles below your notes to augment what you've already saved or written in Evernote. Unfortunately, it's only available on Evernote for iOS, Mac and PC for now. Presentation Mode is a new feature for premium users only and it's meant to completely replace standalone presentation programs. If, like me, you only use Evernote for yourself, the Work Chat features are useless and best ignored. Work Chat is only useful for people who collaborate inside Evernote, since it lets you share messages about what you've saved in the service. Work Chat lets you chat with other Evernote users within the app. You can add photos and videos inline in text notes and attach other kinds of content, too. Within text notes, you can add bulleted and numbered lists, as well as checklists, tweak the font formatting to bold, italic or strikethrough and highlight sentences and passages. The Android app also lets you create handwritten notes, where you can drag your finger or a stylus across the screen to write or sketch out your note. Your notes can consist of text, images, web clippings, audio recordings, reminders and even file attachments. With a tap of the plus sign, which appears throughout the app, you can start typing out a new note quickly, adding formatting as you go. There are many ways to create notes and collections of notes, called notebooks. The Android and iOS apps are great for both reading notes you've already created on Evernote's desktop apps and website, and creating new content on the fly. The app isn't a pretty as the iOS version, but for actually getting around and browsing my notes, I actually prefer the Android app. There's also a handy floating menu of shortcuts to create a new note that includes options to save attachments, photos, audio, reminders and more. The Android app is a bit more bare-bones, with a mostly white design, a simple slide-out navigation.
