"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 "Evern... See more

I was a fan. However, I dislike that they are trying to be too many tools in one, and expert in none.
Also, last I checked, it was impossible to export your note catalog and notebooks efficiently.
Lastly, very much dislike the exorbitant price increase in 2026.
My goal is to find another solution that is similar: web platform with notes, notebooks, AI OCR, and something with easy export for archiving.

Dont like paying for higher Tier subscription level

I dont like paying for the elevated tier that i was forced to do this year in order to keep the features i had been using. I dont use any of these new features.

Other than that Evernote is still what i rely on and will continue to subscribe to.

Evernote improving ...

Evernote is improving, it's good to see regular updates. Still a few things I would love to see:
- Notebook tree: stacks and spaces are a hack
- Linux desktop client
- Scheduled cloud-cloud backup e.g. to Dropbox

To pricy for a messy app

Price model for a customer since 15yrs+ is just to high, the AI steps are giving too little, lots of noisy stuff happening in app and desktop, tool is loosing relevancy to other and simply to expensive.

amount of updates

Honestly, for the past year, the amount of updates has been disgraceful. Plus, for about the last 10 days, the note preview hasn't been working; you have to physically enter the note to see it. I'll say it again: the frequency of updates is unacceptable.

I've been with Evernote for many many years. To me, it's much more than just a note keeper. We scan in all my receipts for tax purposes. We have all the home remodel notes, like paint colors and costs. We keep all the oil changes for the cars. I also keep all my notes for easy access for technical support and code classes.

Evernote has evolved with the times

Evernote has evolved with the times. I enjoyed its user friendliness and ease of use across devices. Accessibility across devices has made this note-taking app the best for me (I've tried a few and come back to Evernote).

It is ok

It is ok. Not great, not bad. Better than past, but still has some major bugs and is missing some features. The formatting of notes has gotten very complicated. So many options you have to wade through. It is limited in its export options. Have yet to add an export to Microsoft Word. Instead you have html, PDF or Evernotes proprietary ENEX format. It has pushed calendar integration but it still does not sync well with calendar. If you put something in your Google Calendar, for example, It takes awhile to make it over to Evernote. My biggest beef is lacks an ability to time block similar to what is offered in NotePlan. For what they are charging, you should be able to drag and drop tasks and notes into your calendar. Bending Spoons (the new owner) has dramatically increased the annual subscription fee ($249). Yes, they have a lower cost option, but there are restrictions, namely the number of devices you can sync to and the number of notes you can have.

The best application for notes at different devices

I've been using EverNote for about 15 years. It's the best note-taking app that has everything you need + great syncing between devices. The app itself has a great architecture. Another positive thing I'd say is that the project management listens to user feedback and makes the prices affordable for easy use.

When looking for a note by using a…

When looking for a note by using a word, the app finds the notes in which the word appear, then i have to open each note and do again a search within each note. Why not changing the search tool so it shows the context where the word appears in each note, and then allow the user jump to the location where the word is?
