Evernote is not the same Evernote application as it was before! Evernote Corporation has redesigned the app’s user interface from scratch to improve the overall user experience. The reworked application for desktop is now ready for use and lands on your PC with many useful features such as Reminders, Improved Notes, Shortcuts, smarter searching, and more.
The cloud-based note-taking tool has opted for a flat interface this time. The biggest difference is readily visible in the notes displayed in the Note List. The Notes section within the left panel displays all the notes you can access in a single list. Also, the desktop version for Windows has made the task of creating notes and browse simultaneously, easy. Elements that might distract the user have been stripped off.
