Unfortunately, to do this in the Android app, you need to also install Evernote's Skitch free app. I'm impressed with how easy it is to annotate a photo even on my small phone screen and it's one of my favorite features. The app isn't a pretty as the iOS version, but for actually getting around and browsing my notes, I actually prefer the Android app.Įvernote's iOS app has a few useful built-in tools for annotating photos and PDFs, such as adding text overlays, arrows, highlighting and adding flags. There's also a handy floating menu of shortcuts to create a new note that includes options to save attachments, photos, audio, reminders and more. The Android app is a bit more bare-bones, with a mostly white design, a simple slide-out navigation. That's not an issue in the Android app, thankfully. I'd prefer them to be larger because then the touch targets would be easier to hit.

My only gripe with the design is that the buttons are too small and often confusing. The app also has simple animations when you open notes and notebooks, which add a little flair. Premium users get a custom patterned background that really just adds some depth to the home screen. You get some control over the app's color scheme, choosing from green, light and dark themes. The app for iPad and iPhone is bright and accented by Evernote's signature green color. Evernote has done a fantastic job of designing the iOS app, though unfortunately the Android version still lags a bit behind.
