Evernote Reviews 

The new experience when on the text area the pointer does not work and it is often not clear where exactly you are is inconvenient. The text input from stylus is not convenient and does not work in a proper way / as expected.

I hate the pop up that ask for reviews, I love evernote but hate popups

I use EN just for keeping notes but need more than avaailable free apps in terms of formatting and support different content types. EN does what I expect it to do. Stable as a rock, works fine on 3 configured devices [mobile + 2x laptop] and UI is intuitive.

I am able to have my notes organized and access them from my laptop and smartphone.

Under "Bending Spoons" Evernote has gotten slower, clunkier, more expensive, and jammed with AI bullshit I don't want. Why does everything good eventually have to suffer enshittification?

I've been using Evernote for over a decade and it is my go-to for all notetaking and capturing info from the web. I use it to take notes during meetings, brainstorm for upcoming courses that I teach, and organize my job search/career planning. Plus I have poetry and free-form journalling in there... everything that I want to be able to search digitally and organize in folders. I pay the subscription because I drag screenshots into my notes, especially during meetings/workshops when I want to remember a presenter's slides, so I need the storage.

This (Evernote) is as close to the Vannevar Bush Memex as I need it to be,

I have used Evernote for many years. I use it very basic as notes. I do not use any of the expanded options. I love it for remembering passwords, life notes and anything that I need to remember. Has worked well for multiple years.

A couple of months ago i would have left a hard 5 star review. But now, it seems that the philosophy of the company has changed. From emphasis on data integrity and reliabililty to new fancy and sometimes apparently useless features. Like the insert current date function. It used to insert the current date. Now if you press the "todays date' button it says @today.... oh i see, well that's good to know. then tomorrow it will change to yesterday then the day before yesterday, then the weekday, which i never even asked for and finally to the date. What is the benefit of that? I have been trying to imagine what use it is and i cant thinnk of anything other that giving a bored engineer something to do? i doubt that. I suspect that they are overworked trying to get these fancy changes out asap and have forgptten about reliability and data integrity.
Whuch is exactly what brings me to the windows version today, because i have to recvover lost data by going to the history and loosing any changes i made that day. Whty? Well the nice ai that changed the title of the note i was working on without my asking it to do so therefore causing a moment of panic when i thought that i loat the entire note. After that i made a backup of that note just in case. The AI told me that sometimes there is sync problems between the main database and the mobile app, and that sometimes that causes scrambling of data which is what i was seeing. oh. i see.... so it is important to say that today == @today it is not so important to make sure the data gets synched up properly on mobile devices.
I am writing a book and the mobile version is critical. If i wake up at 2AM with an idea i want to include in my book i just put it into the mobile version.
Then the AI told me i could use Quick (something, a name that i repeatedely dfail to remember, as opposed to something logical like Quick Notes) but even the AI couldn't find quick whatever and neither could i. So i guess it's not very quick if you can't fijnd it. Shouldn't something like that be on the first page.
You have lots of new features that i might like to try like what appears to be folders within folders but the terminology is so strange and when i tried i didn't understand what it was doing or what it was supposed to do.
A quote i heard from a CEO of Netscape...
"Always keep the main thing the main thing." (Data Integrity)

use daily for business and personal. easy to use on all devices. ai built in, images, voice, etc

Very Mixed Experiences with Evernote.

Therfore, Weigh Much Lower Cost / Free Alternatives & Decide Yourself.

In the recent past - a year or 2 ago , I was paying for Evernote but mainly had to use free Google Docs. because Evernote would be so slow to load on my quite powerful procesor / modern model phone.

The price has skyrocketted.

Weigh your alternatives & maybe start with a lower cost free option & then see if you're willing to pay sky rocketing prices for Evernote - after they have you hooked & used to it.

Pro : Evernote innovates well.

I hate having to pay so much as a long time user. I don't want or need all the AI features.

Repeatedly get a blank screen when I come to the program. For a paid subscription, I shouldn't have to go through hoops just to get to my data. I might look for alternatives; it's beyond annoying.

Evernote has some unique features, especially the internal system for linking notes.
It is rapidly developed in a very transparent and communicated way, make me optimistic about it's future.

Forced AI into product.
Massive price hike.

Excellent product ruined by extreme price hikes.

Evernote suits all my needs and allows me to organize all my information. My only complaint is the price.

I'm pissed off for several reasons. First of all, Evernote Web does not work in Android Firefox. I don't know why, and at this point I don't even care. Second of all, I was just trying to delete a note from the trash, but the trash isn't even visible on the Android app. Why? It should be easy to find.

Evernote works for me. It is easy to store what I need and find it when I need it.

The only thing is that they are missing just a couple of features related to tasks. If they would spend just a little more time on tasks, then it would be five stars.
