Evernote - Notes Organizer Reviews

iPad Pro Evernote Premium user

SSIDawg

Premium user - Evernote is my go to for notes, to do lists, and planning - Great tool! I would like to see these three features added to the Evernote App IOS (iPad and iPhone versions) like the Evernote for Windows App on the PC. 1. Merge | add ability for all the same reasons to use merge on the PC. 2. Inset Horizontal Rule | add ability as in the Evernote for Windows app on the PC. 3. Reminders | add the ability to set multiple reminders inside a note. For example, my To Do list has multiple items that come due at different times - It is more efficient not to have to have a separate note for each item in order to set a reminder. ... or at least the option to set up multiple reminders.

Bait and switched

Huge price increases. Good luck turning off all the ads. Takes magic to close the crammed notifications- the "x" is so tiny and overlaps with the scroll bar. Depressing to open

Useless watch app

Despite installing, uninstalling, and reinstalling this app twice on the watch, it shows no notes or lists of notes. The only option is to create a note. So useless and unforgivable for an app this successful.

Evernote can’t do literal searches (searches contained in quotes)

I have used Evernote since 2008, and I have over 10,000 notes. I am dependent upon the program. But in the last six months the literal search feature has stopped working (searches contained in quotes don’t work), making it nearly impossible to for me use this product. It turns out this is a problem that has affected some users and not others. I’ve been in touch with Evernote and they say they are well aware of the problem but they have no timeline in place to fix it. They told me that 3 months ago and they repeated the same again this week. There is no timeline to fix this problem for the affected users. That’s incredible. As I said I have grown dependent on Evernote, and there’s no easy way for me to back out now. But if you are a new user, I’d be VERY HESITANT to make a commitment and find yourself in my situation in a few years.

Lost photos I uploaded for recipes

I used to love Evernote until today. I bragged to all of my friends how great Evernote. I use it for many things including as a recipe storage. I am using Evernote basic. However, today the App lost 2 of my recipes. I’m very frustrated. I had a special pasta recipe I was going to make with my son. I saw the photo of the recipe on my phone and when I clicked on it and opened it up the photo disappeared. I can’t seem to get it back in any way. I think this is a terrible thing to have happened. I tried to organize my recipes electronically and pitched the hard copies. Now I have lost that recipe and another. I clicked on another recipe from the app and that photo disappeared as I opened it. I think I took these photos in 2015. The app worked fine for a recipe photo I took in 2017 this morning but it losing older photos. This is unacceptable. I stopped opening recipe notes and went to the webpage on my Mac to open other recipes and the browser version worked fine with the other pasta recipes I added the same day. But now I have wasted an hour trying to no avail to restore the image. Because I’m a basic user, I’m not even able to email customer support. The app appears to be garbage right now if it loses photos while the web browser does not. I’m so disappointed.

Limited Free Version

If you don’t upgrade and pay a monthly fee then you can’t sync your notes across your devices - which renders this app useless

App Crashing

I have been a premium user of Evernote for 3 years. I recently upgraded to the iPhone X and now Evernote will not stay open. I will try deleting and reinstalling.

Best note app ever!!!

I am a premium Evernote user and have been pretty dissatisfied with Evernote for the past year. If you have a a lot of notes, forget about using it. I’ve has to delete and reinstall just to get my notes to sync. Support has been horrific responding in 3-5 days and they would tell me the same thing: delete and reinstall the app. I have lost lots of productivity due to having to delete and reinstall Evernote just to get my updated notes. Not recommended and will be discontinuing my premium account. I have been a user since 2008.

Ok but not very user-friendly

I like the idea to access my notes everywhere including my iPhone. But the user interface is not very user friendly. Notes look messy especially when editing both on my phone and the desktop version. UPDATE: I’m now on Apple Notes. There are two major reasons for me to ditch Evernote. First Evernote’s sync has quite dumb. It can’t integrate changes from two different sources at the same time. I run into every now and then when I edit a note on my phone while it’s offline. I get “conflicts”. Google Docs and Apple Notes don’t have that issue anymore and are passed that nonsense. Evernote is lagging behind here. Second, when you copy-paste from web pages - which I do all the time - it tries to be smart in keeping the formatting but in practice this confused the Evernote note editor leading to a note I can’t edit anymore - especially on IOS. Basically it makes it unusable for me. I really want Evernote to win, because I like the idea of an independent software. Apple can just change their mind and not focus on Apple Notes anymore because something else is more important to them, but Evernote needs to step up their game to stay relevant and keep me as a customer.

A Bit Frustrated

I use this app all the time. It’s a way for my husband and I to share ideas about vacations and to-do lists. However, it recently stopped letting me sync. If you don’t sync and open a note that was updated by another user it “modifies” the note in the worst way. I also am not able to get notifications from the app anymore either, which is especially annoying when my husband is trying to chat with me through the app. So I thought I would reach out to customer service to troubleshoot beyond their recommendations on their site. Since I’m not a paying customer I cannot submit a ticket. This is especially frustrating. They are sending a message that their non-paying customers aren’t important. I don’t want to look for another app with similar functions, but I may be forced to if they can’t fix the bugs.
