Evernote isn’t pulling any punches in its continuing effort to challenge Microsoft OneNote. With updates for the Windows desktop version, as well as the iOS and Android apps, Evernote is adding a variety of features that will benefit business users, and make a compelling case to drop OneNote.

Android users have long been able to view Microsoft Office files with the Evernote app. The new update, however, makes Evernote much more functional because users can now edit attached Office files as well using the OfficeSuite app.

On the iOS front, Evernote has improved its iPhone and iPad apps to make it easier to find information. The new Evernote iOS apps allow users to create shortcuts to favorite notes or important information, and new search capabilities make it easier to find relevant notes.

The new Evernote 5 Windows desktop app is available in Beta right now. An Evernote blog post explains, “We’ve updated the interface to not only look more modern, but also let you access the things you want more easily. We’ve added new search and discovery functions to intelligently help you find what you’re looking for, and sometimes surface relevant information before you even think to look.”
