Long time user – Evernote - Notes Organizer Review

I have been using Evernote for a very long time. For a while my usage was sky-rocketing. More and more I find myself using Evernote less and less. I haven’t touched it in nearly 5 months. So it’s no wonder why I’m probably going to cancel my subscription this year. I picked it up to write in my journal again. Not five minutes in I was think Ming “honestly, it’s been 2 years and in STILL can’t do this simple action that I could with the old system.” So I immediately wrote this review. Hey, the harder you make it for me to leave you feedback, the more likely it goes here. To most it seems to be a battle between the new simple UX or the old feature-rich environment. Although I tend to hear more that the features win, to me It’s about the FUNCTION. Raw, foundational, simple logic is missing, by mistake. And to put it back requires a major re-write... because they didn’t stop to consider HOW people were using their software. They were swarmed with paying customers who demanded a better UX... but that was with the understanding that they would get to keep their functionality too. So don’t get me wrong. Evernote by itself, if you knew No better, is a great platform with a smooth UX now. But long-time paying customers are dropping now because year and years of notes have been indexes based on sorting functionality that the new Evernote simply can’t handle. And lastly, Evernote’s solution to stop the WAVE of upset/paying customers, is to disconnect their ability to communicate, so don’t expect to get through to support if you have an issue.
