This is an overview of Evernote for iPad.
Let's get started.
First thing you'll want to do it's sign into your Evernote account, or create a new one.
It's free to do.
And now that I've logged in, you can see the home screen with all of my notes.
I can scroll up and down just by swiping my finger.
I can also change the view to sort by date updated, created, title, notebook, city and country.
I can even choose to display only thumbnails, or detailed view, like you're seeing now.
Use the quick scroll bar on the right hand side of the screen to jump to different areas of your notes.
The taller the line, the more notes there are in that particular area.
Now let's take a look at notebooks and tags.
They are displayed as stacks of notes. Tap on them to explore their contents.
Tap on the Places tab, along the top of the screen.
This will allow you to view your notes on a map.
As you zoom into the map, the notes displayed will change, based on those that were created within the map area where you're looking at.
Wherever you are in Evernote, you can always tap on the search bar to search through your notes.
Let's search for the word "soup" and see what comes up.
And what do you know? I have 80 notes that contain the word "soup".
A lot of these notes were created using Evernote on my desktop, or the Evernote web clipper, which I use to clip web pages,
like this one, for a Cranberry Bean and Kale Soup recipe.
And, if I want to, I can tap on other notes in the search results.
If I know that this is a search that I do quite often, then I can save it by hitting the Save button.
I give it a name, in this case, "soup", and then tap Save,
and now, when I go back to the home screen and tap on Searches at the top, there it is—"soup".
Okay, now let's turn the iPad on its side.
This gives us more columns in the home screen and also changes the way single notes look.
The note content is displayed on the right, and your note list is on the left. You can scroll through it by swiping your finger.
Next, let's create a new note. Do this by tapping the New Note button in the lower left hand corner of the iPad screen.
The keyboard will slide up and you can start tapping out your note.
If you'd like to add a title, or tags, just tap into those fields.
You can also select existing tags by tapping on a small blue arrow.
You can add an image from your photo library to a note by tapping on a small Photo icon at the top of the note.
Add an audio recording to your note by tapping on a small Microphone.
It will begin recording automatically, and then hit Save when you're done.
You can also add text as you record audio—a great feature for meetings and lectures!
Evernote for iPad lets you attach multiple images and audio clips to a single note.
Whenever you're finished, just hit Save, and this note will be saved into your note list
and then synced to every other version of Evernote that you use.
To edit an existing note, tap on a Pencil icon, and the note will slide up, then tap inside the note to edit it.
And that's Evernote for iPad. Go to evernote.com for more information.
