Evernote has been useful for me regardless of what email address I had, or where I worked, or what phone I had. I am a long-time fan and I don't even use all the bells and whistles. It's a trusted pla... See more

What I like most is the ability to easily download articles and web content to Evernote.
Highly capable, but way too expensive now
Still has a lot of great capability but the more than double the price and now it’s $250 a year if you just have some notes and you want to access them from multiple device(more than three… And that includes Internet access so you really only have Web access +2 other devices… And that cost you $250 a year)
Unfortunately, another example how a good product/company gets bought by another bigger company who just wants to drain it and milk all the customers and so they just double the price.
NEVER SIGN UP FOR EVERNOTE!
NEVER SIGN UP FOR EVERNOTE!
I can't cancel my subscription (One morning wasted trying to do it) and it renews automatically every year.
Never, ever, go near this company! I had been forced to have a sub when I tried to work my Scannable sub.
If you cancel my sub, I will delete this bad review.

This app is over. Avoid like the plague.
Evernote user since 2011 and a paid subscriber for most of that time. The app is still useful to me, but I won't be held hostage by Evernote's pricing.
My annual subscription is increasing from £79 to £154 in a single year. That's sheer greed on the part of Bending Spoons (the company that owns Evernote) and simply too much for a note-taking app, especially when there are now plenty of capable alternatives.
Every time I open Evernote there's another update to install, usually adding more AI features that I neither want nor find useful. I'd rather see the company focus on improving the core product than continually bolting on new features.
Over the years I've watched many long-time users leave the platform, and this latest price increase has convinced me it's time to do the same. If you're considering Evernote, look carefully at the subscription costs and compare the alternatives before committing. If you decide to proceed know that the subscription will not get any cheaper and, likely, will go on increasing until nobody can afford it.

I have a problem arising out of having two emails
I have a problem arising out of having two email accounts. This has lead to confusion and double billing. I have spent hours trying to fix this and have tried twice, after more hours of frustration, to elicit help from support but with no luck. Not even a reach out from support !! I am a typical non computer savvy person whoi needs to get on with work not fiddle with an App. When it works Evernote is just what I need
Used to be great. Now, not so much.
Evernote was a lean, efficient note taking, thought organizing app when I first encountered it years ago. It ran on a USB stick that we had to move from one computer to another to access our notes everywhere.
It has become a bloated, confusing steaming pile of garbage as it desperately tries to incorporate every type of task known to mankind into its ecosystem. Instead of improving what it did best, it fails utterly at everything it tries to do now, including the things it once did best.
It is expensive. It is ugly, now forcing a cartoonish interface on its customers. Unsurprisingly, it's now trying to bolt some kind of AI onto the app and the web interface and g-d knows where all else. And it does not work. It gets in the way. It creates a gooey, grimy layer of distraction coated with disappointment.
I am desperate to find a replacement that can import Evernote notes without throwing up on its shoes, and which simply works with my notes, including pdf files, of which I have many.
The company that acquired Evernote is clearly trying to kill it. I get that this kind of thing happens. I only wish it would stop trying to kill us users, too.
I have been using Evernote for years…
I have been using Evernote for years and absolutely love it! It helps me to stay organized and it's a system that has proven to work for me. It is very user friendly with lots of helpful tools for my small business. I am so thankful for this platform!
Grateful,

Getting too obnoxious
The performance improvements the service has gone through are very welcome, but you're driving too much atention towards the service itself, introducing distractions in what's supposed to be a focused work app. Not whether "Evernote is ready to update". The "What's New" icon you can't get rid off, with a RED badge with an unread counter. You need to let people disable these things, postpone update checks, it's just too much. Every day, you run the app, and you need to get rid of all this distraction first. It's the kind of stuff that makes me switch to a different note taking app out of principle (as if paying DOUBLE the price for stuff I didn't ask for wasn't enough)
It's nice that you keep innovating, but the service needs to get its core features right first, and focusing on a smooth user experience (or at least NOT BEING INTENTIONALLY OBNOXIOUS) was one of the most important ones.
I really want to like Evernote, but I'm pretty close to switching at the moment, and if nothing changes, it's a matter of time, and I don't think I'm the only one.

You're a technology company and should be able to pace.
App is way too expensive and wish you would grandfather in early adopters.

I love the ability to do so many things on Evernote. Actually keeping my current book on it. I'd love it if the file size could be increased for the single file though.
