Evernote App Reviews

pretty good notes app.

pretty shocked that within a note i can’d do find and replace - text editor standard for…. forever? i’m not asking for every note, just for the current one. i only use about 7-8 tags, not much, but the tag icon popover only shows two under “suggestions"? why not all of them? also… update your screenshots! the nice cleaner layout you should be showing off. also, the forward back and sync buttons aren’t actually vertically centered with eachother properly. your UI/UX person should see that.

Evernote is great for the many functions that it offers, and its availability on so many different platforms. It definitely has many more functions than other apps, and works well without crashing. It has multiple limitations with the User Interface though. 1) UI is different on each platform. This means that I have a different way of viewing and accessing my notes when I am at work on my PC, at home on my Mac, and when I am on the go with my iPad. This becomes more of a problem as I compile a larger number of notes and have more complex projects. 2) There is no ability to color-code folders or tags (other than the colors they set up to differentiate business and personal). While their method may work well for some businesses and for the way some people think, it does not work well for others. I would like to see this option in future versions. 3) Limited formating options, especially on mobile versions. With other apps like DayOne and Notability that allow you to create beautiful notes, it is more apparent that the UI is lacking in Evernote. This is partly about asthetics, but also about use. Evernote is great for storing information, but having nicely formatted notes helps with later using those notes. Especially for students who may need to study from these notes, or other professionals who are not just using the notes to capture ideas. There are only a few fonts to choose from on the mobile platforms, and you cannot choose default fonts on mobile or web-based versions. Other apps have quick buttons for favorite formats to make taking notes easier and the resulting note cleaner, more appealing, and easier to navigate. 4) There is no ability to create sub-folders, just stacks. This is not the way my projects are set up, so it limits my use. It is easy to find a single note using search or tags, but sometimes I need to have a several subsets of notes available for access, and not having sub-folders interferes with this. 5) Users may not want to have the “Evernote green” in their UI. Many find it unattractive and would prefer to set their own colors (and fonts). This would improve the user experience. Hoping some of these changes are incorporated in future versions.

Fantastic app 1 - evernote clipper needs option to set all clips to auto-pdf them

I love this app. It syncs across all my devices. I mainly use it to organize pictures/screenshot of things I take that are not family/landscape pictures. If I take pictures of things to think about/consider/buy, then I take pictures and organize it into a file in my evernote later using the share feature on the mac. You can easily share pictures. The only thing I wish I could do is drag and drop pictures from Photos in mac to evernote. Otherwise, it syncs nicely and can find words/letters in screenshots or pictures of things even. It’s gorgeous and easy to use. I love it and recommend it all the time. It organizes my life and makes my life better.

There’s a great application for almost all devices but Windows Phone. In the meantime, I’ll have to skip this perfect note taking app and stick with OneNote until further app improvement for the windows phone version.

This app has no night mode. The background is a harsh white which is okay for short notes, but any prolonged writing is painfull. This feature has been a popular request on their forums since 2013 but the company, to my knowledge, has never bothered to address the issue. Evernote has an amazing product, the problem is that they know it. As a result, they don’t care much about their customer base.

Its beautiful, I admit. But when in presentation mode, my mac just starts humming, it takes too much resources and possibly using my hard disk A LOT!!

Thank god for the zoom feature.

I am an ardent Evernote user and evangelist. Even as other apps have gained/matched/surpassed functionality and compatibility with Evernote, I’ve stayed with the app that i’ve used for several years. I am disappointed to say that the last update for OS X is a bit of a regression. Some of the editing capabilities within the app (that were important to me) seem to now be broken. Also, when trying to copy/paste the notes from Evernote into other popular business productivity apps (starting with “M” and ending with “icrosoft”), formatting is a bit of a disaster. Hopefully an update will come out soon to fix the regressions.

I love to use it remember Web Site.

I have tried many apps for note taking, nut without any doubt evernote has all features I wanted , and it is really greate to be used on mac and ios

I’m giving a five star rating because I generally love the functionality and improvements made over the years. It would really be nice if I could copy/paste from Evernote into other common products, e.g., Word, without having the formatting all garbled up. I have to post into Apple Note to strip the formatting then paste into Word and manually reformat…time wasted!

I used Evernote for work and my daily life. I’ve used Evernote for almost 5 years. I’ve found it to be the most functional, easy-to-use, note-taking app out of all of them that I’ve tested. I’ve used OneNote, Wunderlist, and the Apple Notes app. Evernote is hands down the best note-taking app. I can import pictures and annotate those pictures right inside the app. With loads of free storage for all your notes, what more could you want. I’m able to keep detailed work-related workflows with screenshots, grocery lists, workout tips, and anything else that I don’t want to forget in Evernote. Thanks Evernote!

Every time I get around anyone who had lots of stuff to keep track of (which is almost everyone) I wave the Evernote flag. Even when I go to Canada each summer I try and get others to know about this set-up. Yesterday I scanned two more books into my Evernote. Editable PDFs that are immediately added to my research folders. A 400 page book scans into Evernote in about 3 minutes and can be placed into as many folders as desired. I love the geotag aspect that allows me to find notes I wrote in various locations. I’m an older guy who’s beginning to forget things. But Evernote doesn’t. I was at the airport in Chicago on my way to Canada for my summer speaking engagement and pulled out Evernote at the airport and jotted a little thought. By the tie I got to my location to speak I had totally forgotten what the note was. But with Evernote I was able to search notes by location and simply go to the note I had written in Chicago (I live in California) and there it was. The ability to search notes by tag is fantastic. You must learn the discipline of simply adding as many tags as you wish when you add in a new note and you will see it show up in any tag catagory you’ve created. Since I’ve been using Evernote for years I now have hundreds of folders (each folder containing many notes) and hundreds of tags. So now I can easily go back and find things I’ve worked hard to save at an earlier point in my research. The free Evernote web clipper is a great tool. Again by using the tagging aspect I can save, not the web url, but the entire article even though it may be several pages long. For example, I’m a huge fantasy football guy and when I come to a lengthy web article that perhaps goes into great detail on multiple aspects, I can clip it and tag it it right into whatever fantasy football folders I may have created in my Evernote i.e. draft strategy, positions, team facts, etc. I could go on and on about this product. Photos? Recipes? Medical notes? Family records? Receipts? Car info? You name it, and you have it right at your fingertips on your phone, iPad, and any computer you sit down at after logging into your own Evernote account. You can send an important email directly to the dedicated folder of your choice so it doesn’t get forgotten. You can set up reminders. You can speak a note directly into a folder. You can locate every single note that has a particular word in it. Once you have thousands of notes, as I do, you’ll begin to see the pay off of using this system. Ok, I’ll stop. But if you don’t have Evernote… you should start!!!

Great Program. Works seamlesslessly across all devices. I use this app to collect info. To prepare my speeches and use it while speaking.

I have used Evernote Premium for several years now and I use it on a daily basis, keeping track of everything from plain notes to legal documents. Being able to search for them at lightning speed makes this program very valuable. The problem though is I use this program on 2 different computers, on my macbook pro I use for all of my day to day activities. On my iMac at home I have a scanner attached where I do all of my scanning of documents and it syncs across my computers. I have asked Evernote several times why they do not put in any security like many password apps have. The app should be able to sync in the background but the documents should not be viewable without a password to access the app.

Dear Evernote - will you please sync shortcuts across devices? I will give you 5 stars if you do! Thank you!

I recently got a MacBook. Before that, I would primarily use Evernote on a PC and an iPadPro. It works great on all three. I honestly especially like the Mac version because there are features that make it easy for me to use! Love Evernote!

Even if you pay $25 a year, you can’t highlight a simple PDF?? Wow... I have used Evernote for years and paid the whole time. I am sick of it. The software is just not that revolutionary anymore. Over the years it feels like it’s been losing features rather than gaining new ones.
