Evernote 3.4.0 Released

My favorite (currently) note-taking app for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad was updated a few days ago. Evernote 3.4.0 has been released with quite a few fixes. As always, it’s free. Evernote is a note-taking application that spans across several platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, Android) and allows you to keep your notes in sync across all platforms.

What an update this is! For those genealogists who use their iPhones to make audio recordings, the audio recording portion of Evernote has been greatly enhanced, including bumping the limit up to 90 minutes. You can also select multiple images from the camera roll to add them to a note.

Thate changes/additions I’m interested in, from within Safari and Mail you can now directly send PDF and text information into Evernote through the “Open In” option.

If you are running iOS 4.2 and are configured properly, you can also print notes to a printer on the network, from within Evernote.

Changes
* Select multiple images from your camera roll at once and add them to a single note or make multiple snapshot notes
* Audio note recording limit increased to 90 minutes, great for lectures and interviews
* Audio recordings can now be played, paused and replayed from within the note
* Audio note playback can be controlled via the dock player, headphones or other external controls
* Send PDFs and text from Safari and Mail directly into Evernote via the “Open In” option
* 3rd party developers can configure their apps to send PDFs, images and audio into Evernote
* Print notes directly from Evernote to a network printer (in iOS 4.2)
* Numerous bug fixes and improvements

You can read the official Evernote blog entry here or check the official Evernote website.

Requirements
* iOS 3.0 or later (iOS 4.2 for printing over the network)
* Languages: English, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish

If you already have Evernote installed, you can just go through your normal update process. If you don’t, you can download it through the iTunes Store (Evernote link)

Note that this is only for the iOS platform, and that Evernote for Android has note been updated with this release.

Research Logger 1.2

Research Logger 1.2 is now available. Research Logger is an iOS/iPhone OS app for genealogists that helps you keep track of your genealogy research, both the research that you’ve already done, and the research you need to do or will be doing.

Version 1.2 is another major upgrade. You now have the ability to add audio recordings and pictures to your log entries. You can also email log entries to other people.

Changes:
* Audio recording and pictures in your log entries.
* Email individual log entries.
* Email all your log entries in .csv format.
* Various bug fixes.

Requirements:
iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, with iPhone OS 3.1.3 or later.

Research Logger can be downloaded for $0.99 (US) through the Apple iTunes App Store

Research Logger 1.1 Adds iPad, iPhone 4 Support

Research Logger 1.1 from Spencer Hall has been released. Research Logger is a fairly new app – it came out at the beginning of July. It’s only taken a short amount of time to see a major new release – universal support has been added, allowing Research Logger to run in the iPhone 4 and iPad’s native resolution without upscaling.

So what is Research Logger? It’s an iOS app for genealogists to help keep track of their genealogy research – research that has been completed as well as research that needs to be done. It can take the place of a small notebook that many of us carry around to jot down notes and to-do lists.

Research Logger allows you to maintain separate entries for each ancestor, along with todo lists.

Changes/Updates:
* Fixed bug related to deleting log entries.
* Added iPad support as a universal app
* Added iPhone 4 support

Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad
* iPhone OS (iOS) 3.1.3 or later

Research Logger can be downloaded for $0.99 (US) through the Apple iTunes App Store

Evernote for iPad

Evernote has now been released for the Apple iPad. It is a “Universal” binary, and does not require the 2x mode that some iPhone-formatted apps do – it has full support for the iPad’s hardware.

There is a note on the Evernote blog complete with video showing it off.

In case you’re not familiar with it, Evernote is a free note taking application for various platforms. It allows you to create text notes along with photo, video, and audio notes (assuming you have the proper hardware). It also includes location-awareness data if you have the hardware and have set it up. If you move up to the premium subscription, you can work with PDF, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and other formats. It synchronizes with the Evernote servers so that all of your notes, images, etc., are in sync and can be accessed across various platforms. Yes, it has support for images, and will even do optical character recognition (OCR) on them.

You can see that aspect of it in action in part three of the Griffin Clarifi for iPhone Review that was posted on MobileGenealogy.com a while back.

I’ll post my impressions of a friend’s iPad later today, but suffice to say, Evernote would be a deal-breaker for me as far as getting an iPad, which I’m still looking at doing. No Evernote, no iPad. I keep a lot of my genealogy to-do lists in Evernote, along with a lot of family research as well as notes about various websites, etc.

There are also a couple of fixes included for 3.3.1:
- Fixed synchronization bug on iPhone and iPod Touch
- Fixed search results bug on iPad

It’s supported on the following platforms:
- Web – I’ve used the online/web client in Safari, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox
- Mac OS X
- Windows
- iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad
- Google Android
- Windows Mobile
- Sony Ericsson X-Series
