Evernote app (in beta) now available for Android

In a little bit of good news, Evernote has released a version of their Android app earlier today. But, I should point out that it is still in beta and therefor limited in functionality.

As of now the app cannot be found in the Market, instead users willing to give this a try will have to head on over to the Evernote Forums where the will find two options for installation.

In terms of what you can expect should you go ahead with the install, unfortunately it looks like it is capture only at this point. In other words, you can capture and save a new text note, audio note, snapshot or upload a file. The drawback here is that you cannot access or view your currently saved notes directly in the app. For that you will still need to visit the mobile Evernote site.

All in all, I am disappointed that the app was not a little more full-featured, or dare I say more like the iPhone app, but at the same time it is still nice to see they are making progress because this is one web service that I have come to depend on. Here is to hoping that we see a full-featured Evernote app become available soon, until then it looks like I will have to continue with the mobile site for viewing my notes.

    This has been around for a couple of months on their forums and while it is a start, it just isn't enough yet. They have been releasing regular fixes so hopefully it is in process.

    Hey, it's progress! Evernote is fast becoming my favorite cloud service. The more connected they make us, the more we each inch closer to exceeding our free monthly usage. It is in their best interest to provide us as many service routes as possible.

    I too depend upon evernote. I dropped my apple touch which is what I used before and now am waiting for a robust android app. I've had an early version of this for some time. It's useless to me.

    I like Evernote, and am a paid subscriber, but disappointed that they don't have a desktop Linux client (which is most of my usage) or an Android client. I find myself using 3banana more and more for fast notes, and EN has become more a repository for larger docs.

    The app auto updates. In the latest update note can be retrieved in app and what looks like native.
