  • Stepped up their Game

    I have been using Evernote from the very beginning. It was a game changer when it game out. It had a few years where it was on autopilot, then Notion came out which is a very intuitive tool and people started migrating. Then Evernote got some really smart people to start going back to basics and finding out how people were using Evernote and how it could be improved. Instead of looking at it from a that’s too complicated or following one productivity (ie. GTD) or information processing (PARA) they went to individuals and found common best practices and gave people access to them. I now use Evernote more then ever and I love when they update because they keep finding ways to improve me productivity and user experience. Well done and very happy.

  • Evernote is BACK to #1!

    Firstly, I write this review myself - no ChatGPT needed.. (someday I hope to not have to write that disclaimer!). To those who are unaware, Evernote went from hero to zero over the course of about 10 years.. I used to drive by their San Mateo Headquarters all the time and wondered why they couldn’t at least *fix* the app. This is the OG of note apps, and goes wayyy back before Notion. In fact, had the company done a great job of just staying on top of bug fixes, there wouldn’t likely be a Notion today; it’s questionable even if Asana would have had a good IPO, etc. But the former management team would ramble on about how de-sharding their database was taking time (and narrating internal dev problems that - as a user - doesn’t help me get through my day). I’ve been a *continuous* user of Evernote for well over a decade - maybe longer - I was one of the early users. I’d co-use other systems when things were getting worse, but I never really liked jumping between interfaces. Enter in Bending Spoons; this Italian firm has radically focused this product now to a *customer-centered* application that frankly is going to be VERY hard to beat with any other workflow in terms of efficiency. They’ve embraced AI but done so without flamboyancy (it’s more like Apple’s AI adoption than it was other creatures who over-did-it there). They focused on bugs, on things that the users were saying in comments on the Youtube videos of updates, and I honestly cannot believe how good this application is now. It stays open on my desktop/laptop/phone 24x7 - it’s my 2nd brain, and it’s where I basically have my entire life. There are some neat reasons to use web-based tools like MyMind if you are a creative, but for a narrow use case (color swatching). Or, if you are really lazy and can’t do a single page website by yourself, I suppose Notion is valuable there. But between the product-focused interface (not user or customer-focused!) it’s gotten to be spaghetti. Furthermore, I HIGHLY recommend trying Evernote if you haven’t done so. If you left (like I almost did) because of some “issues” please come back - it’s 10x better and in my opinion THE BEST APP in the AppStore. It’s actually required on every device once you begin using it; you’ll never go back to another “2nd mind” tool or however you use it. It’s all here and they keep making it better. GREAT JOB!! And I write this without any need to. If anything, I rarely review anything, including apps.. but this one deserves a few minutes of my time to give them a special shout-out. It’s just a great app to store your PDFs, do dynamic searches for everything from recipes to code and to keep everything from your notes to your to-do list in one place. It does more, but need I say more?

  • Pricy but a great app

    Evernote does 95% of what I want in a notes app and does those things exceptionally well. The new ownership is actively developing and improving this app. New features and fixes are released almost every week, For me, a notes app has to do the following things well: * PDF and Image OCR - Check * Email to Note - Check * Cross platform, Web, and Mobile - Check * Accurate and flexible search - Check * Flexible but robust notes organization, including notebooks and tags - Check * Task Management integrated with the note, so I can document the steps taken for that task - Check Finally, a notes app has to be fast and responsive at scale. Fast, in-line keyboard shortcuts, and a responsive UX that doesn’t bog down as the note or notes grow. Evernote isn’t perfect, I wish it had better encryption support and kanban functionality, among other things. I’ve tried a number of other note taking apps. Evernote meets my workflow, and the pace of development is great to see. For me, it’s worth the price.

  • Critical Parts of My Workflow Always on Evernote

    By Music This!
    I use Evernote for some critical parts of my workflow because I like the paradigm (notes are NOT notebooks! flat hierarchy! etc.). Please: 1. stop adding stupid features and stabilize 2. ensure note sync works! I had a note stuck in different states on different devices with no easy wawy out. 3. Put back Objective-C in code languages. 4. Allow us to embed evernote notes in IFrames on Web! Right now I am forced to use Postach.io but I don't trust them to stay in business. Thanks.

  • Adopted in 2010, Still One of My PRIMARY Note Apps

    5
    By Yesssssssssyes
    I’ve used Evernote since its very early days. For a long time it had been my primary and only notetaking app, originally free. Over the years there were peaks and downfalls, and the new ownership has changed a lot in the past few years. I’ve considered ditching it, but I haven’t found any app that could really fit my needs for what I used Evernote for. It’s kind of like when you get used to Apple OS and products, you can’t ditch it for various reasons, but mostly because of how it feels to you. Over the years I’ve been finding different Note Apps to replace or use alongside EN, I’ve adopted a couple different stuff. I’ve also become a productivity junky over the past 15 years, so that makes me more prone to use multiple softwares at once. However, despite its flaws, I still have been using it. The biggest flaw I have to say—despite what most people say about its biggest flaw being the syncing issue, and I agree—I can’t dismiss how much the price of subscription per year it costs these days. It took a huge jump a few years ago while their product has not changed, and the devs weren’t listening to the users. They were focused on “task features” and “calendar features” while not fixing what’s broken in the fundamental issues. They were bold and pompous to jack the prices up that much while not providing any features that long-time users, early adopters have made complaints and requests for improvements before moving onto new features nobody asked for—or wasn’t good enough to compete with any other task mgmt. applications around. The new takeover by Bending Spoons from Italy, iirc, has made big strides that I’m very happy about. However, still, there are many more ways to go in order to improve what it could be and listen to the users for bringing back the value of what it used to symbolize for people that used it since its early days. What people want. I believe they’ve been working hard with patches every few days or so, and updates that sometimes bring good features back working, or improve upon. I have faith on them, and I hope to see more good things to come. I just wish it wasn’t as expensive as it is now, like how every other services/softwares are on a subscription based payment plan. It’s not just about EN, but I hope to see big applications to have a “lifetime” ownership option as I’d like to actually “own” a product, not having to sweat over each months’/years’ subscription costs for every other products I use. It’s a shame.

  • 2025 app store rating inaccurate

    By Chengmichael
    feel compelled to write a review. like many others i almost migrated all my notes to one note around 2022-2023. evernote was and in truth still is expensive, but back then it was impossibly slow, buggy, and every update came loaded with a set of new problems that made using evernote a complete drag. then bending spoons bought the company and fired the american staff, at which point i should start using one note and get used to their interface. i tried for a year, not loving one note, especially because of the poor web clipper and boundary-less-ness space that made simple typed documentation feel impossible to organize and format. so i reluctantly stuck with evernote. over time, evernote became lighter, faster, and new features came up it seemed every month. they all seemed to work, and brought back the joy one had when one first discovered evernote. organization apps need just a couple things really - a simple interface, and features that make doing the mundane task of organizing fun. i have zero affiliation with bending spoons, and i am critical of their putting a high price on evernote. i feel evernote is basically conceptually a low price app that everybody should be using, but is actually so high priced that it has become inaccessible to most people. however, bending spoons did a great job revitalizing the experience of using evernote. their updates are amazing, and their videos communicating their updates are actually watchable and make me interested in evernote features i’m not currently using. for example, the intro of Spaces to evernote: i didn't adopt it because i had already organized my notebooks in stacks that corresponded to the different spaces in my life. Inevitably, however, that system got a little too complicated, and so i looked into spaces to bring some more bigger picture organizing to my evernote set up. so far it’s working; even better, evernote introduced a “commenting” feature in notes. it’s a small detailed improvement that is very functional when having to return to old notes. so at both the larger picture organizing and the detailed improvements in note taking make evernote i imagine the best note taking app around. i would add, just to not seem like a paid reviewer for bending spoons, that if i ever were to switch note taking apps, i would probably switch to the free Notes app in apple, which is great. i use it now as a more portable and temporary holding space for notes that eventually get stored in evernote, kind of like a general inbox of incoming or frequently used notes that i can store in a really light and nimble container.

  • Tired of updates ...

    ... and fixes, that fix this but also unfix that ....

  • Some good changes at Evernote, fouled by too frequent updates with too many bugs.

    By Steve Colen
    Evernote has been stale for a very long time, and so I’m happy to see the care and thought being put into it now with its new ownership. However, their rapid software updates are way too frequent, introducing friction in my use of the app, and too often introducing bugs which are workflow blockers. Please, go to a 6 week release cycle!

  • Still the best at what it does

    By RevRichard66
    When Bending Spoons bought Evernote, I was dubious. I had been using Evernote for years. It followed me from Windows to Mac, and from Android to iPhone, and it did nearly everything I wanted it to do, and more. Well, I’m happy to report that my fears were unfounded. Bending Spoons has taken a great product and made it better. It’s easier than ever to organize my notes, to save web pages and emails, and to find what I need when I need it. Highly recommended.

  • Updated - Much Improved!

    By Impaired Productions
    I've been a faithful paid user of Evernote for over a decade and a half, and this app has turned around in a big way over the past year or so. Love the newest update that lets me hide all the buttons for tasks and features I don’t use. Simple things like syncing work better than ever before. Glad I stuck it out!
