iOS 7 app update roundup: it’s a flat, flat, flat world

Even if you don’t feel like coughing up the cash for either the iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s, those eligible for an update (that’s if you own an iPhone 4 or up, or an iPad 2 onward) can at least console themselves with iOS 7, which debuts today. Gone is the skeuomorphic design of the Forstall era, and in its place is a flatter interface that promises an entirely new experience for iOS devotees. As such, developers everywhere have been scrambling to get their apps redesigned to match the new mobile OS out of Cupertino. While we can’t possibly cover every update, we’ve compiled a quick list after the break of the more substantial app revamps that have come our way.

Evernote releases native app for BlackBerry 10

Evernote releases native app for BlackBerry 10

Evernote’s had a presence on BlackBerry 10 since the early days of the OS, but today the cloud-based service is taking things a bit further. As of now, BB10 users can download a native version of Evernote, which offers a more streamlined, intuitive experience than what’s currently available via the Evernote integration inside the built-in Remember app. Note-takers will still be able to save and sync stuff, naturally, but they’ll be able to do so directly from an Evernote-made app and with a UI that makes it easier to take advantage of what the service has to offer. Better yet, Evernote for BlackBerry 10 won’t cost you a nickel, so head to the source link below if this is one you’ve been waiting for.

DNP Evernote's Chrome Web Clipper adds new options, sharing and Skitch features

We’re sure many enjoy the simplicity of Evernote’s Chrome Web Clipper, but if you’d rather get more features and a new interface, this update will make you happy. Aside from being able to save a web page (in full or parts) for reading later, you now have other modes to choose from, including a simplified version that strips off the usual website accoutrements from a copy. You can also keep just a snippet of text accompanied by the URL using the new Bookmark option if you’d like to keep things neat, or take screenshots and go to town doodling on it, thanks to the integrated Skitch features. Before you install the upgrade and start sharing clips on Facebook and Twitter, though, make sure to check out the images after the jump to compare the old and the new UIs.

Evernote comes to Windows Phone 8 with multi-shot camera, speech to text support

Evernote comes to Windows Phone 8 with multishot camera, speech to text

Evernote has let its Windows Phone app languish at times, but the company is making amends with a new version of its note-taking client that supports Windows Phone 8. The update primarily improves navigation and speed for modern hardware, although there are a few platform-independent additions. Users can now snap multiple photos without leaving the camera mode; the refresh also introduces photo slideshows, speech-to-text transcription and an automatic title generator. Evernote’s big upgrade is available in the Windows Phone Store today, and there’s promises of “lots more” coming to Microsoft’s mobile platform in the near future.

Evernote starts rate-limiting third-party apps, hopes for minimal impact

Evernote starts ratelimiting thirdparty apps, hopes for minimal impact

With over 50 million note-taking users, Evernote has a lot of traffic on its hands — enough so that the company is now rate-limiting third-party software that relies on its API. As of today, new apps can only sync a certain amount of information with Evernote in a given hour. While the caps aren’t clearly defined and are likely to change, Evernote will start throttling all existing apps on November 1st. This isn’t necessarily the prelude to a Twitter-style crackdown on third-party clients, however. As many apps sync their data sparingly, Evernote doesn’t foresee many companies running into the API limit. It primarily anticipates problems with apps that sync everything, and it’s offering to chat with affected developers to minimize trouble. Evernote’s promises aren’t guaranteed to reassure app designers, but they suggest that end users might not notice the difference.
