But I think of this as a victory, for Evernote, for its users, and for Microsoft.įor Evernote, this means that they don’t need to develop and maintain a separate UWP version of its app. To some Windows enthusiasts, this will be disappointing for reasons I find hard to understand. Instead, it is using Microsoft’s Project Centennial technologies to wrap its current Windows desktop (Win32) application in a UWP shell, so it can be offered through the Store. To be clear, Evernote is not developing a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) version of its app. “Customers who currently use Evernote Touch can continue to do so, but it will no longer be available for download or update.” “On August 2, 2016, Evernote Touch will be replaced with the full-featured Evernote for Windows desktop app in the Windows Store,” an Evernote statement explains. And in doing so, it will also halt development of its mobile companion app, called Evernote Touch. Evernote will bring its core desktop application to the Windows Store on August 2.
