Evernote 5 beta app released for Windows desktop users

Guys at the popular note-taking app Evernote have shared a preview of their Evernote 5 app, currently in beta, for Windows desktop users. This app now features several improvements and enhancements in addition to an updated “modern” interface. 

The Evernote 5 beta app has been enhanced with new search and discovery functions to allow Windows desktop users to easily find what they’re looking for as well as get relevant information even before it is sought.

Evernote Premium users can use this Windows desktop application to rediscover content with related notes. The Evernote 5 app looks for similar notes in a user’s account or in his shared notebooks almost as soon as he begins to type. Then there is the Type Ahead search option in the app that looks for suggestions based on what’s in a user’s account.
