A fall from grace – Evernote - Notes Organizer Review

Evernote used to be a snappy, super convenient app. Over time it has become a bloated, cumbersome, and sluggish. The search functionality isn’t nearly up to snuff and always deliver subpar results. The custom keyboard is frustrating, time consuming, and flaky. Trying to add a note quickly is too many steps and takes some time to populate a new note after you’ve dialed the right button combination. It feels to me like the Evernote has fallen victim to scope creep, trying to pack the app to the gills with extra features to the point of ruining the user experience. So the notes app that used to be so mighty has now become a victim of its own success. Whenever I have enough motivation I’ll make the jump to a different notes app, but for now they’ve got me captive. Lastly, please stop bugging folks to go with your premium tier. There are too many alternatives to be pushing that stuff on people.
