Evernote for BlackBerry gets updated

It’s been a while since Evernote for BlackBerry received some polishing and now, BlackBerry owners (OS 5+) have a new Evernote application. Here are the features of the same:

First launch
The first thing that happens when you launch the updated app is a sync. This sync pulls down thumbnails and some information about your notes: titles, tags, etc. Doing this allows you to browse through your note list, even when you’re offline.

Faster loading
Now that more note content is stored on the device, browsing and opening notes is quicker. The BlackBerry app doesn’t request information from the service anymore.

Create notes without a network connection
The new Evernote for BlackBerry lets you create new notes with text, audio and photos, whenever you like. These notes are pinned to the top of your note list in a pending state until you get onto a network, at which point they will sync into your account. You can even edit the pending notes, if you need to.

View notes offline
Whenever you create a note, or view the note, it will be stored locally on your device. This means that you won’t need a network connection in order to view the note later. If the note has an attached file, say a PDF, you’ll first need to view the file while you have a network connection before it becomes available offline.

The Evernote App can be downloaded from the BlackBerry App World.
