Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 1,409 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers find the application to be a very helpful and indispensable tool for organizing notes and information, appreciating its robust features for creating effective notes and its ability to sync across multiple devices. People often highlight the ease of use for writing drafts, organizing notebooks, and the efficient search capabilities, making it central to their daily routines for various tasks. However, a significant number of people are dissatisfied with the recent price increases, finding them unreasonable and excessive, especially for long-term users. Some reviewers also express frustration with frequent, almost daily updates and pop-up screens, which they feel interfere with their workflow and make the app less convenient. Additionally, issues with authentication, slow synchronization, and the desktop app opening off-screen or with a black screen are mentioned as concerns.

There used to be authentication problems, but Bending Spoons appears to have fixed that :) I need Linux support, and they don't have that. If I switch to something else, that'll probably be why... See more

I've been archiving my field research…

I've been archiving my field research on this platform for years, and the recent structural upgrades under Bending Spoons have actually streamlined my workflow. The new AI search features are a legitimate asset when I'm scanning through thousands of old focus group transcriptions in a windowless basement lab. To be fair, the mobile sync occasionally hangs if I'm uploading heavy data files on the subway Wi-Fi. But for keeping qualitative variables organized alongside a chaotic literature review, it gets the job done without corrupting my files.

Please, reduce the number of updates!

"Evernote" is a very good text managing program (structure, organizing, etc.). I've been using it since 2013 and don't want to move anywhere yet.
BUT! Since the company "Bending Spoons" bought "Evernote" using this app became less convenient and more expensive. A lot of constantly newly upcoming unnecessary features/commands that are popping up and interfere with simple text processing. Too much and too frequent updates. I want (as it was earlier) just log in the app and work, and not constantly discover endless new updates. And I don't want any pop-up commands to bother me. That's irritating. Seems like designers don't have much work to do that's why are constantly inventing something to prove their salaries, like: "Look, what a useless crap we came up with this month!" Omg, just leave me alone with my work and you do only what's really necessary, please.

Convenient tool for managing information

Convenient tool for managing the information and content you gather, either as a professional in a project or for your personal use. Microsoft OneNote is the most obvious contender, just to give you an idea.

I started using Evernote before it was purchased by Bending Spoons. At that time the software's functions for version control and synchronization were quite buggy. Today they work as a breeze.

No effective support unless you like ieffective bots

had. aproblem signig into account. Was forced to create new one. Only support was a bot online who was unhelful. I tried all items it sent and it did not work. I was promised a human person to help days later leaving me lock out of critical information. that never happned. If you like OVERPAYING for a company with NO EFFECTIVE SUPPORT. then buy it. If not, look elsewhere

Longtime user - glad to be a user

Evernote has been a valuable contributor to my daily means of organising mywork and my personal life and has been so for the past 15 years. It's recent conversion to AI for many of its features have actually improved the app's functionality -- that doesn't happen very often!

Stop AI...AUto....PLS... image Auto capture

1. I have been an Evernote user for more than 10 years. Here is what I have felt over the years.

2. I have tried several times to switch to other tools, but I stopped every time. The reason was simple: my data. I had no real choice but to stay.

3. Please focus on the core features.

* Stop adding unnecessary features. If Evernote is a note-taking app, please focus on being a good note-taking app.
* AI, image transcription, paragraph editing, and so on — these are not what I need.
* I started using Evernote because of the image capture feature, and even now I use that feature for about 90% of my work. But the automatic capture function is ruining everything.
* In the early versions, image capture worked well and produced high-resolution results. But in later versions, Evernote started adding AI-related features, and now images get cropped incorrectly, the resolution is terrible, and the app has become painfully slow.
This is honestly the worst image capture experience I have ever had.

4. Please make Evernote work like a real note-taking tool again by reducing it to its essential functions.

* Stop automatically changing paragraphs.
* Stop automatically formatting sections.
* Stop automatically adding numbering.
* The most frustrating thing is that Evernote changes paragraph numbering and formatting on its own. Please stop automatically converting characters like “-” or “>” into bullet points or paragraph symbols. Just leave my input exactly as I typed it. Please.

Power user for over a decade here

It's hard to believe, but I've been using Evernote for almost 16 years now. I'm messed around with other services like Notion or Google Notebook but for flexibility, ease of use and sheer variety of abilities, nothing comes close. Scanning receipts for my coffee shop, collating captions and images for content, collating notes on clients and storing audio clips about music I'm working on are just some of the ways I use it.
You can drag and drop images, quickly find anything and it works on multiple platforms. Highly recommended, especially now that it has new owners who are revitalizing and upgrading it all the time.

It's easy being green

I've been a daily user of Evernote Professional since 2014. It's perfect for helping manage my ADHD brain and the new AI features are like having a personal assistant.

Too expensive for what it's offering

Too expensive for what it's offering. The quality of updates is just as expected for a company this size (in terms of its userbase population) but they may be too "small and frequent" for some. Occasional minor bugs but these are normally bearable. Price kept increasing by more than 2-3 times per year which is quite unreasonable for the average consumer (even myself as an avid note-taker). Too much use of AI including the customer support and feature request section which is not commendable.
