Evernote today released an update for its iOS app, focused on two key tools that are exclusive to Evernote Premium subscribers: Presentation Mode and business card scanning. Both features were introduced in December last year, but the improvements unveiled today make them significantly more useful. After launching the in-app camera, you can swipe horizontally as before to use Evernote’s business card scanning service.
