Evernote Reviews 

The software is feature-rich and reliable. The standout feature is being able to search for text inside images—there is still no real alternative on the market for this. However, the exorbitant price tag is completely disproportionate to the features provided. In this day and age, it doesn't even offer an MCP (Model Context Protocol) for external AI tools to connect and retrieve data, leaving you stuck with their half-baked built-in AI. Compared to the pricing of other note-taking apps, it's obvious that Bending Spoons is just treating its users like cash cows. It's highly predictable that current annual subscribers will cancel their plans once they expire.

I use Evernote for everything (personal & work). I love the simplicity and the power of the search engine so I can find everything I want quickly without having to file my notes. (It has all the filing options for people who like that). I'm incredibly lazy and just want it to be simple to add everything I want, find everything I want and set alarms to remind me if ever it's needed.

An indispensible facility for daily life. Good jobs.

I've been an Evernote user for more than 15 years. Although the product has improved under Bending Spoons, they have add functionality not important to me... this along with going from $30/year to $250/yr. in just a few years, I'm out... I'm not sure who their future customers will be but it seems like they're committing price suicide. I would stick around for their $100 starter plan but they limit it enough making it unusable... Best of luck trying for super premium pricing.

I like the product, it is easy to use, but I don't like the constant notifications on system upgrades. A lot of times I just want to jump in and do what I need to do,and that is distracting and disrupts my flow. While you are doing many great and wonderful things, you are making it unaffordable for those who are not able to write it off on their taxes. I am now retired, and many of the enhancements that are now available are nice to have, but not critical. I will tell you the critical things that make this a keeper
1. Easy to flow to different platforms, i.e. phone to ipad, to laptop 1, 2, or 3. If this is web based, why do I have to be limited to 2 machines? I am stuck if I have a mishap and can't get to those two machines, but yet the data is stored on a cloud. This is my personal data, this is not like in real estate, where agents share (when they are not supposed to) their login info with someone else who is not "paying for the service". Need to rethink this.
2. I like being able to take a picture and put it in a note, along with text, audio files etc. I usually use a whiteboard to write down my to do list, then take a picture, and sometimes use it to subscribe it into a text list, if I want to use the list for something else.
3. I like it being able to transcribe an audio file into text. I don't think this is necessarily technology you developed, I can do the same thing with "writing" a text message using the voice feature which transcribes it...handy when it is not convenient to text. Should not have to pay extra for that.
4. I am thinking about downgrading or leaving the platform, but don't want to lose my notes. A lot of them may be empty, but I need to find the time to download them all at once and then delete, but don't see an easy way to do that. And if I downgrade, with my storage size decreased, do I no longer have the ability to add new files, until I get rid of the old one? I am exploring Apple's note feature, which works well enough, but I am used to Evernote.
5. My mom used to have a free account. I would make notes and share with her, to help her keep things to remember handy. But some sort of change was made and said that she had to pay. Don't think that was right.

- Premium is too Expensive, not all the options are useful and may cause the app to be heavier. The price of Upnote is much cheaper, though it is a much simpler app, it offers the essential daily needs for note taking with much cheaper price, it has also many advantages: instant start of the app, better hierararchy of the notes with unlimited arborisations, easier shift of the notes from file to file (the first edition of evernote was much better from this point of view)
- search engine was completely a mess for around 6 months, now it is OK, though it could be better. For examble, if I have a note containing the number 130000456987, search by the number 456987 does not show any result

I really like how easy it is to write notes using the voice option. I take notes on research trips onto prairies. I don;t have to stop and type in what I am seeing. I just speak and Evernote types it out.

HIGHLY Recommended

Overpriced, useless AI features, non responsive customer support.

great app to keep digital records of every thing

I love Evernote for writing drafts. The formatting is great, the fact that I can push sentences around easily is very helpful. Also, coloring of passages which I want to review later is made easy and helps. Clipping bookmarks I want to remember I use occasionally. All in all Evernote is a very helpful tool.

Fantastic product. Always innovating and updating to the latest tech and new features. I use it and I am teaching my kids on how to use it.

Evernote is very versatile, you can now save and record and make AI do almost anything. The trick for you to figure out and create a good structure, i.e. a good searchable system of folders, and naming of the files to find them easily! The functionality in itself is amazing!

Been using it for a few years now. My go to note taker.

Found is so effective in assessing information
stored and the ability to record meetings and transcribe them into short and concise notes. Plus, the ability to use it on all my electronic devices. Well done

It works well, but to expensive.

Increased the price so much it's crazy. I am trying to get off the app after 10 years

Notion is highly compatible with other apps and makes it easy to copy and paste, whereas Evernote often has trouble pasting text from other apps.
