I like Evernote and I trust it. However, I think it could be stronger on the task management side, especially in tracking items such as completed tasks, tasks in progress, and to-do lists. Daily to... See more

I like the ease of use - apart from one thing. Maybe it exists and I haven't found it! I would like to see my notes in list view, not squares. Maybe Evernote has become a little feature heavy. I u... See more

Best app to organise your thoughts and ideas

I have used Evernote for many years and it has never let me down. I use it multiple times a day, whenever an idea strikes and it helps keep my writing muscles fit. Have used it both in school and work. Love the notebook and tag system, which really helps me keep everything organised.

I love Evernote, but there are some improvements to be done

I love Evernote, that´s why i have stayed a loyal costumer for years.
But I do miss Norwegian as a language for "reading in and converting to text", but I must say that even though I can not choose Norwegian as a language when I read, it does an ok job when I choose "recognize language".

I also really wish all templates were automatically baked in to evernote, that I didn´t have to doewnload every single one, it takes forever!

You really need a template that functions like mic. excel, that sums up the cost/numbers for you. Or send me an mail with what template it is if you already have one, because I can´t find it, and desperately need one.

So useful but getting very expensive

I find Evernote an extremely useful app for storing my stamps and dies. It's very powerful and will "translate" the words on my stamps. I gave it three stars because the price went from free to over $100 and I've heard a rumor that the price is going up again, by a lot. Sadly, I have too much time invested to switch to another app.

A few nits to pick

I have been using this product for years and love it. A couple of things that have changed in my opinion for the worse. 1-having to update the software every single time I open it, sometimes twice in the same day but I don't have this problem on my phone.
2-Having to open it in my browser sometimes is a pain, is this the only option for opening it on my laptop?

When scanning from ScanSnap

When scanning from ScanSnap - please don't open a new window. This was an option to not open a new window years ago... now, it's so annoying to scan a document, then close the new window that opens up.

Students Note Haven

Okay, so I'm an online computer science student, and I've been looking for good software that can organize all my class notes and has many helpful functions for note-taking. This software is AMAZING!! I purchased the yearly subscription and haven't looked back. It has multiple helpful commands for quick note-taking. It supports LaTeX math, so even when taking notes for calculus or scripting, the notebook lets me write down all the fancy symbols we typically need pen and paper for. I can export all my notes and notebooks offline, so nothing is lost in the long run or when I want to study offline. It has macro commands to create bullet points and bold text quickly; you can also use "/" commands to create dividers or charts, which is incredibly helpful for organization. With the yearly subscription, I can have as many notebooks open as I want, which is super helpful for someone like me who has tons of different notebooks for different topics.

Overall, I'd highly recommend this software to anyone transitioning from pen-and-paper note-taking to a fully digital platform.

It might feel a bit strange at first and take some time to learn (such as LaTeX for writing math), but once you get the hang of it, you'll find this platform is amazing for quick, reliable note-taking that surpasses classic pen and paper.

P.S. Always good to still have pen and paper for "scratch" work, though!

Great software, Evernote!

Use experience is very good

Use experience is very good. Data is absolutely safe and secured. However the updates look very frequent, they should be resized in terms of frequency.

In India market, pricing looks a bit on higher side.

Best note-taking app

For me, it’s the best app out there for organizing notes and information. I can organize all my notes into notebooks and stacks. I can find everything I need quickly. I don’t use all the features (there are so many) because these alone are enough.

Please stop the frequent forced updates! It is highly disruptive and annoying. I am considering moving to another note taking app due to this, after being a paying evernote user for many many years.

I love Evernote

I love Evernote! Have kept a journal since 2009. I have many notebooks, such as medical, garden, work, crafts, financial, etc., that I update all the time with pictures. It is awesome!
