Evernote is good except the
The current version of Evernote
I recently read downloaded Evernote, only to discover that it's entry screen is not at all accessible! Help!
Evernote is broken.
As was stated above, you can no longer log into the app. The accessibility ratings need to be updated.
Convirmation: Body Field Doesn't Show and First Screen is Proble
I have checked this out, and I have confirmed what another poster has seen. You are indeed able to name your note, but for whatever reason, Voiceover somehow doesn't place focus on the "body" field. I think it's skipped over. This really is a problem, and, like a previous poster, I have let Evernote know about this.
The result? Either you have to type a fast note and back out, or you're forced to just type a lot of stuff with no way to separate thoughts.
Evidently, this happens whether you're using a wireless keyboard or dictating.
Also, the other issue of not being able to get past the introductory screen without sighted help is something I've seen. I have also let them know about this.
For now, you may need to turn Voiceover off, flick a couple pages to the left, then turn Voiceover back on. I have suggested to the developer that they add a button on the first page so you can get past that first screen.
If you've used Evernote, but had to abandon it, please let the developer know about this. They need numbers if this issue is to be resolved by the next update. Thanks.
More on Body Field Issue
It seems that Voiceover does read the "tap to edit" text, but nothing happens. This seems to be what the previous poster was dealing with. It seems that the edit field itself doesn't work with Voiceover. You have to turn off voiceover to activate that field, so in short, I think we have a bug. Thanks.
No longer broken
This app appears to be completely fixed. I am no longer seeing the body issue mentioned above. Also, Evernote no longer insists on its new users going through the tutorial that several of us previously had an issue with.
Current version?
Hi,
Has anyone tried the latest version of the app on the iPhone?
I am finding it quite tedious to use, but it could just be some thing I’m doing.
I’m probably going to start using it for school, especially since they offer 50% off for students.
I’ve been playing with it for the past couple of hours, and the new layout does take some getting used to, but the app is still fully accessible. The one exception is the menu for deleting things such as notebooks. Voiceover reads the menu, but for some reason, when you click on any option, you end up with the print dialogue, unless you do the following:
Bring up the menu, turn off voiceover, scroll a few times until you get to the bottom of the list, then turn voiceover back on. The list is not very long, so you should only have to scroll up two or three times.
Not Working for Me
with IOS 15.1 on my SE2020 I chose Work and chose meeting notes. I could not enter the edit field to type. Pressing menu or settings or audio elicited nothing! I closed the app and relaunched, and was able to type in the scratch pad field. But most of the other things I tried were not working. to all of you that wrote the developers, did you ever get a dialog started beyond boiler plate messages? I am impresed with the labeling of controls. But the darn controls need to work! Maybe it's just me.
I’m going to tweet them
Hi,
The options for Delete, and such don’t work with voiceover. I’m going to tweet the developer right now, and see if there is anything they can do. I will keep this thread updated. I’ve once again began using this app for school.
I was using OneNote, but I am now taking a Linux class, and OneNote is not available on that operating system.
