"Used it before, but not anymore"
What do you like best about Evernote?

used Evernote before to keep notes and organise small things. At the beginning it felt simple and useful, especially for quick notes and saving ideas in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Over time it started to feel a bit heavy for simple use. Also the free version became more limited, so it was not as convenient as before. I found myself using it less and less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Note-Taking Across All Devices"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote functions seamlessly across all my Apple devices, syncing my notes so I can access and edit them wherever I am. It supports formatted text, images, collapsible outlines, hyperlinks, tables, file attachments, audio recordings with text transcription, and more. I like how it can organize notes into Notebooks and can share notes with others.

The app has proven to be both reliable and effective, fulfilling all of my note-taking requirements. I use it daily for both business and personal notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

There's nothing I dislike about Evernote. It's not as visually flashy as some competing apps, but after trying others I always come back to Evernote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Garbage app. Lost data. $249/yr"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Garbage app. I've lost data in the app. Pricing went from $59/yr to $249/yr and they automatically charged me without authorization.

Interesting also how they have 1.5 stars on Trustpilot and 4.5 stars here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

It's a basic note taking app that they charge $249 a year for and limit features so you have to upgrade. Use another app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very well organized, simple and clean UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Straightforward and Reliable, But Limited Free Version"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I appreciate Evernote for being quick and reliable, with a straightforward interface. I find the syncing feature works well, making my notes easily accessible whenever I need them. It's simple to create and save notes instantly without worrying about structure or formatting. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, and I never had any issues using Evernote on my phone for quick note-taking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The free version feels quite limited now, which reduces its usefulness for basic note taking. A more generous free tier or simpler pricing would make it more appealing for casual users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Limited Features, Awful Support, and a Suddenly Suspended Evernote Account"
What do you like best about Evernote?

It had good framework for working both online and offline Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The functions of the application become very limited in comparison with the competitors. Also the customer support was awful. I have been a user of Evernote for a very long time and one day they just suspended my account, because I used to live in Russia. I ve made an argument that long ago I have left the Russia and now even a citizen of another country, but to no avail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The ultimate Digital Notebook"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I have been using Evernote within our businesses for in excess of 4+ years, during this period it has been fault free and the tools just keep getting better and better.

It allows us to reduce the amount of double entry work, capturing data and information from one platform and seamlessly pushing that data to another platform.

There is so much you can achieve with Evernote and the array of tools provided, do be fooled it isn't just a digital notebook.

- The software is simple to use, but there are lots of rich features.

- Very cost effective (there is even a Free option which allows you to do so much, but if you can pay the small annual fee and reap the benefits)

- Robust - never had an outage or issue

- Innovation - Evernote are always looking at new tools, partners or making existing processes better

- Integration - Integrates well with so many other 3rd parties software platforms. I connect Evernote with LinkedIn, great when you snap business cards and it finds the person on LinkedIn automatically.

- Cloud-based but also an off-line version too. Syncs well across all devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

There is not much that I don't like to be honest, the fact that Evernote is always making things better can sometimes be a small disadvantage as they layout changes or buttons move or react differently, but this is a small price to pay for the amazing tools at your fingertips.

"Powerful All-in-One Notes and Search, but Can Feel Heavy with Occasional Sync Delays"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Everything in one place + powerful search

You can save notes, images, and files—and find them instantly, even inside images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

It can feel slow or heavy, especially on older phones or PCs The free plan is quite limited compared to alternatives Syncing across devices sometimes has delays or glitches Too many features for simple note-taking (can feel cluttered) Pricing is relatively high for premium features Search is good, but can be inconsistent with scanned PDFs or images Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BTN EVERNOTE USE"
What do you like best about Evernote?

This software becomes more valuable the more I use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The subscription variation fee is the part that bothers me, because it really destabilizes things—especially when value has already been built up over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Frustrating Experience with Limited Transparency"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I use Evernote for taking notes and organizing me and my stuff. The initial setup was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I dislike the lack of transparency in the usage of my subscription, like not having a clear number for used and available notes or disconnects. I'm frustrated by buttons that don't work, like the 'Exit and do not upgrade' button. Lately, it's been slow and buggy, and I'm not happy with the poor AI. Customer support is a letdown as well, with responses taking over 5 days and often providing wrong or useless information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like I'm only using a small portion of Evernote and I could be doing so much more, but I am just not sure where to begin. How do you use Evernote other than as a note-storing application? Any interesting additional uses?
