Editing notes in Evernote?

[gksmithlcw]

Is there no way to edit notes in the client app? The system seems really great but if I can't edit notes on the go, it's no good to me...

It doesn't appear that you can. I was really bummed about this app after getting my hopes up about everything I thought I could do with it at work. It appears they are more concerned about adding features for the iPhone instead of making the Android client better. I've already complained to them about not being able to open MS Office documents in the Android client when they are attached with the Windows client. That was quite awhile ago, and they still haven't fixed it.

You can press the menu hard key and then edit any existing notes that way.

The 'append note' option doesn't exactly do what you'd expect it to do. It allows you to add text to an existing note, but not edit existing text in a note. That is, unless I'm missing something somewhere.

The Evernote team keeps claiming there will be a better Android app developed, but all they really seem intent on is developing for iphone. I abandoned evernote a long time ago for snaptic.

I don't get it. Using Evernote for Android 1.4 (84727), I can open a note to view it, select "Edit" from the menu, edit any portion of the note (insert, delete, append, whatever) including the title of a note, then save or discard the changes. What additional capability is needed?

Haven't used Evernote in a while but I recall things being exactly the way Kupe explained. Never had problems editing notes.

I remember having no trouble editing notes, but the lack of on-phone caching made it a no-starter for me. Ported all my notes to snaptic and haven't looked back.

I think I figured out what's different with my notes versus what you are seeing. If I have a plain text note, I am given the same options as you (insert, delete, append, whatever). The problem is that most of my notes have either photos or MS Office files attached to them. When I open these notes, the only option I'm given is 'append text'. I'm using version 1.4.1.
