Evernote Updated for iOS7

With the deluge of app updates this week, it’s easy to miss some major improvements among all of the new skins. The latest Evernote apps for iOS are significant improvements in the design and performance.

Here’s the rundown directly from Evernote. Here’s the video demonstration from them as well:

This is my favorite version of Evernote. While the last stacked-tab interface was an iterative improvement, the usability of this new Control Center-esque design is a huge leap. I've also noticed the time to create and sync is much faster now too. The use of depth in iOS7 is modest and appropriate. Overall I think the design makes Evernote easier to use. Isn't that the goal of design?

My only real complaint is that I’d prefer a search box right on the primary panel rather than drilling into the notes to search.

There’s also a new presentation mode for premium subscribers. Features include:

• Presentation mode on secondary display and live editing on the primary display
• Simulated multiple-color pointer
• Note navigation without changing the presentation view
• Presentation of embedded files, such as docs, PDFs and spreadsheets
• Night mode
• Table of contents navigation

This is Evernote design at its best and also highlights that there is some hope for the flat future of iOS7
