1. 4/5Used to be an Awesome app

   My original review: Best app ever for note taking across multiple platforms. I use it all the time. My next update review: Ever since Bending Spoons took over, this app has gotten worse. In the past, each major update had significant issues, but they dealt with them sufficiently that I did not find it necessary to make this sort of update. I was willing to put up with a few changes to usability that I didn’t like because the overall benefit was still largely there. However, Bending spoons is constantly pushing popups about their little fixes, interrupting the flow of use that used to make this app great. My current review update: Although I still don't appreciate Bending Spoons interruptions with trivial update popups when I open the app, usability has i proved, and Evernote remains my favorite note-taking app. Partly because I can’t bring myself to dive back into the lacking MS OneNote app, but mostly the features Evernote provides and the great usability. I just wish they’d quit messing around with it imposing new “features” that open up template notes that really don’t want that embed themselves in my notebooks and have go back and remove them. Its nuisance since I have long established my own way of using the app that works great for me. But as long as it remains usable I’ll put up with these unwanted interjections written in by programmers who don’t seem to have enough to do.

2. 3/5It’s a bit unreliable lately.

   Granted, the last update fixed issues where images would not properly attach to a document, note saving would miss the last changes you made, the app would keep interrupting your writing by closing the keyboard and scrolling off the place you were typing in, and occasionally not allowing you to exit a note when these two other bugs occurred, which meant I could only close the app and sadly lose my work. The issue that still concerns me though is that you can type into a note, and quickly swipe away to see your notebook, and while that note has a little green icon that indicates there are changes to be saved, accessing it doesn’t show you them! You can exit the note again, wait for the saving to be done and see the changes only after that, and as a general experience, it makes me feel like I can only write content on Evernote’s iOS app if I’m slow and careful about how I flip between views. The green note edits icon I talk about also used to come with a spinning wheel on the top of your note list, which at least gave you a visual clue that the changes *were* being sent to save, but because it’s gone, I either let it sit there and hope it saves (it takes a lot longer than I remember, for simple text notes too, on decent Wifi!), or pull down the notes list to cause that list refresh, which makes things save quicker. Evernote, please have a look at these issues—the app used to feel simple and reliable when it came to this and now it gives me apprehension.

3. 5/5Fantastic update

   I just don’t understand some of negative reviews of Evernote’s latest update, which is fantastic. I have been using the app for years and am thrilled to see the innovation that the new leadership team is bringing about a year in. It looks like it took about a year to stabilize, and now new features are a’comin’. Tasks is game changing, and Gmail and Google calendar sync has boosted my productivity tremendously. I have been mainly using the web app but earlier this week updated my iPhone to this version. Immediately following the update I was having all sorts of issues getting my notes to load in the app. So I sent a support ticket to Evernote, called it a day, and accidentally left the app running overnight on my iPhone. To my delight I awakened to see a notification in the app that I had been successfully upgraded to then latest personal version. All of my notes suddenly appeared, and I have had a phenomenal experience with the app ever since. IMO nothing comes close to Evernote. I love Google, but Drive is where notes go to die. Evernote is where they flourish. I cannot say enough good things about this app and what I’m seeing from the company. It is extremely difficult to satisfy all existing customers while innovating and expanding the base. As a longtime user, however, I personally feel that the team is doing a tremendous job. Kudos!

4. 5/5Evernote is better than ever!

   I've been a paid Evernote user since 2010 and have used it personally and for business throughout the past 14 years. I've never been as excited to use Evernote as I have been in the past few months. After a lot of rumors about their history with other products and assumptions about what they would do with Evernote, Federico Simionato and the new developers at Bending Spoons have delivered feature after feature after feature in 2024. So now, as a result of it's traditional standout note features such as PDF management and web clipper/note creation I have eliminated my need for Notion due to features like collapsible sections, calendar integration, and slash commands. The recent task updates have also eliminated my need to use to Todoist to track my immediate tasks and have also allowed me to create a robust backlog of tasks that I can easily navigate. It's easily paying for itself in terms of improved functionality, efficiency, and workflow centralization. I still dream of some additional options like inline images, colored background formatting, a more robust tag management system, better searching, more intuitive and integrated AI, better home page customization, and especially block level transclusion, but overall I'm loving Evernote better than ever and can't wait for the next updates from the team.

5. 5/5Premium Subscription Buyer Beware

   I’m giving this review because over the past 5 years, I’ve been a loyal, power user of the Evernote tool. Short of some ‘buggy issues’ in the latest updates (which is normal), the Evernote tool is hands down one of the most effective, well designed, and intentionally planned tools for business. Because of the treatment is subscription upgrades across devices, I ended up with two accounts being billed on separate devices on 3 separate occasions. To stop the duplicate billing, I cancel one or more subscriptions to fix the issue. It has cost me upwards of $35/month for a $7.99 monthly subscription. I just cancelled again and am a Premium subscriber through August. Because I cancelled, however, the pop ups for upgrade have made the app unusable. I have a paid subscription through August and can’t use it because I hit a payment gateway every time use the app I have a premium subscription to through August. The app is amazing. If you plan to be a Premium subscriber to sync to multiple devices however, Buyer Beware. $35/month for a one seat license for a $7.99/month subscription you can’t use is steep by anyone’s standards. When I quit the app 4 different times to try to connect with someone to help with the issue, I discovered there’s no customer service connection offered to fix the issue.
