Years pass, not much improves – Evernote - Notes Organizer Review

I’ve been using Evernote since it was a month or two old and have paid for a premium account since then. I have nearly 10K notes categorized into 100 notebooks. I use it every day but I wish someone would build a competing product that imported my notes. The UI/UX for Evernote is a two-steps-forward-one-step-back kind of process. They rewrite the UI and throw away things you had come to rely on, just like the old Soviet leadership change would deny the previous regime’s follies. Specifically, sorting is still universal! For some bizarre reason, if you sort a notebook, ALL notebooks sort that way. Is there a good reason for this? No. But why make the app flexible when you can add crap that nobody want? I dare you to take a photo and try to crop it in the app, when you tap the photo to crop, it changes size and when you are done cropping it shrinks size and messes up the cropping. Guys, this is 8th grade geometry, hire some people that know geometry! Can you set the default font for notes on an iPad Pro? No, because why would you want people who have reduced vision to see their notes, after all *Everybody* in the world can see as well as a 20-year-old can’t they? Really, a ten-year-old app and the preferences don’t include the default size? I have to edit my text in another app and copy it to Evernote. Geez, guys, hire some good UX people to study and fix the app and spend less time on features nobody cares about. Presentation Mode? Chat? Messaging? Geez, how about building an excellent note taking app? If anyone builds an alternative that imports my notes from Evernote I’ll try it without hesitation, none. I feel little loyalty because I have to fight the UI every day. It is not very good. Despite that, I lived through the early days of Evernote and their synchronization process has been rock-solid for years. I never worry about it. Unfortunately, they are trying to become some kind of everything-for-business app, but they keep swinging at useless trends. Focus on improving the UI/UX and being the best app for taking notes., As it is I use other apps and copy my stuff into Evernote for the reliable synchronization.
