What do you like best about Evernote?

Versatility. I use Evernote for basic elements like shopping lists or office supplies, even in support of technology projects, I use it to work online with research files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The new view. The current design of Evernote is very minimalist and I don't like it, before it was bigger and more eye-catching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Evernote?

I can connect all my devices with my notes and my email. So, if I use my laptop, iPad, or phone, I have all my notes, tasks, and reminders. I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

It would be perfect if I could connect more than one email.

I would like to have my work email and my personal email so I could have all my reminders and tasks in just one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote is a handy app for taking notes. I like the notebook organization system and the use of tags. It makes it quick and easy to find your information. I have been using Evernote for a long time for note taking and knowledge-management. The app has a simple and clear interface and syncs quickly from all devices. I also like the Evernote app for Google chrome, which allows you to save pages from websites in an easy-to-read format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Evernote is a simple and convenient app for notes, but I was looking for a better solution to create a full-fledged external brain. To be able to store notes, information and manage projects.

Also, Evernote took away the bargain plan I had previously and replaced it with a more expensive one. Also, on my macbook, the app was shutting down a lot. It looked like some sort of bug. Moreover, Evernote still hasn't implemented AI features for word processing. All of this was the reason I switched to Notion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Evernote?

It's a saas solution that can be used across multiple devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Their billing. I hadn't realised that I was being charged annually until this year when the amount doubled. They had been charging an expired credit card for the past 3 or so years and the account hadn't been accessed since 2017. They kindly refunded the charges for this year which was appreciated, but not for any other years. I get it - that's on me, but to continue charging an expired card exposes issues with their billing system that should be addessed. Because of this I can't recommend their solution to others.

What do you like best about Evernote?

I was able to access it across all platforms and devices I was able to create notes needed at a moment's notice when traveling. I liked Shortcuts and I still like that I can hold sensitive information in there as a backup Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

It quickly became irrelevant. There aren't many things to say that I don't like about it. I just don't use it as often as I used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Evernote?

I love how easy to use and versatile Evernote is. I can quickly add notes, photos or audio recordings and organise them using tags to ensure my workflow is efficient. When I need to recall something important, searching through my archive of material is also very helpful. In addition, the app's integration with other apps keeps all my information synchronized across multiple devices. Because of all of these reasons, Evernote is a fantastic note-taking solution for me every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I have a couple of issues with Evernote. Despite being free, the basic plan has several limitations, such as not being able to access notes offline unless they are tethered to the desktop. As a result, I cannot always access my notes, plans, and ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Evernote?

I like using Evernote because of its organisational features and custom reminders. It helps me stay organised and on top of my various work projects, tasks, notes, ideas - you name it. I can also access my accounts from any electronic device or computer, making it easy to collaborate on any project life throws at me. Overall, the programme has been a great asset in increasing productivity in both professional and everyday life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I'm not too upset with Evernote, but I do wish they'd added more features. The free version certainly has its limitations, and the premium version is basically cost-prohibitive, so it's only worth investing in if you're a power user who takes a lot of notes.

What do you like best about Evernote?

Love webclipper feature and how it is easy just to start making notes. For years I’ve been using Evernote, it is the simplest app I have ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The longer you use Evernote, the harder it gets to find needed notes, especially if you have multiple tags for different occasions. It is better to have your Evernote for a very specific purpose. I love to organise all of my ideas in Evernote and then transfer them to my daily to-do list in my paper notebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Evernote?

I really like the way Evernote has combined the most useful features in one intuitive design. The handwriting option is incredibly useful for people who may be unfamiliar with certain foreign symbols and writing systems. A feature for auto-photographing documents is also included, which can be accessed by simply holding the paper in front of a camera. By using Web Clipper, users can quickly and easily return to any part of their favourite websites without having to wade through pages of bookmarks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Occasionally, Evernote can be slow and laggy, resulting in data loss or incorrectly saved documents. Furthermore, many find the subscription system cumbersome and expensive for such a service. These issues must be resolved before Evernote becomes as popular as other organizational applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
