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.

I'll probably cancel my subscription after exporting all my notes to obsidian.

I trust every document and note to Evernote. I use it for everything. I am thrilled with how much faster and better Evernote has been getting since it was bought and is no longer a Silicon Valley company.
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.
Feature-rich, expensive, and slow
Feature-rich, but hideously slow to open on desktop (Windows and MacOS). This needs to be sorted.
Attractive and capable, but the increasing pricing strategy is making it less attractive.
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?
There are better, cheaper alternative
They keep adding features we really don't need, while the basic and essential ones are sometimes still wonky. On top of that, the prices have been increasing over the past few years and will become ridiculously high next year.
Bye-bye, Evernote!
Expensive,
I've been using it three or more years. It's an excellent product for what I use it for (managing my scrapbooking and crafting inventory), however, it is too expensive so I do keep an eye out for recommendations of other platforms. I don't like the change they made to the Search function - it was one click into the search field now it opens another window. I'd like to be able to select multiple items to move them to other folders. On the whole I'd give it a 6/10 mainly because of the price.
Reliable tool I’ve used for over 15 years
"Having used Evernote for over 15 years, it has become an indispensable tool for both my professional and personal life. While it may be priced higher than other note-taking apps, the value it delivers more than justifies the cost. With its reliability, familiarity, and exceptional organizational power, I fully intend to keep using Evernote moving forward."
A helpful tool
In general, it is very helpful. The interface could be more user-friendly. Allowing for moving folder elements more like in a standard file explorer format.
Old TSW (The Secret Weapon) Users Got Shafted
I am an old TSW (The Secret Weapon) user (TSW relies heavily on tags) and an old Evernote user. Since losing the ability to sort by tags (we had this feature many versions ago), a somewhat simple but neglected enhancement, IMHO, we lost the ability. We never regained the ability to leverage the TSW method.
The Notes themselves are a lousy editor. I cannot compose easily without problems or use Grammarly or other tools. There is less integration now than before.
Printing is a pain, especially when I need to print a subobject or a group of objects in succession, such as an embedded PDF or an image. Forget about merging or rearranging anything, like PDFs (you'll need another tool). Also, often, say in an airport, I cannot access documents, although I have changed offline settings recently; hopefully that fixes things, but my Apple Wallet works better for boarding passes, etc.
I use Kanbanote to organize my tagged notes and people stuff, etc. But I need to tag everything up front, which Evernote makes very difficult (there is no default tag option, just null or blank, not "Untagged").
Capturing information from diverse sources is the reason I still use Evernote, I think. But my GTD weekly reviews get neglected or are far less frequent because the tags I need are missing. I use Kanbanote to organize my notes, which supports tagging, but AFAIK, it still cannot tag untagged notes, which cannot be queried.
Calendaring and calendar integration seem to be lacking, or never work properly or as expected.
Indexing is degraded. I can no longer find documents that I could before, even with Evernote's AI-assisted searches.
Good luck, but even with Evernote's own AI implementations, the neglect or degradation of the old product for long-term users has never been reversed for them. As soon as I can find a better alternative, I will. I am going to explore through my AI assistants, Claude or Gemini, and find a better system.
I have tried them ALL in 2026 and have…
I have tried them ALL in 2026 and have found that Evernote is by far the best app out there by far. It is ALL inclusive and checks ALL the boxes. All the other apps I tried were good, but were always missing something. An important feature or created friction to capture notes from different ways. Evernote does it ALL and for every platform (Windows, MAC, Android, iOS etc). At $24.99 a month it is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Evernote is a premium product that commands a premium price. I highly recommend it if you are a power or business user.
Too much usage restrictions
Actually, not using Evernote for creating any more notes, as the limit imposed by my current plan puts a lot of restrictions. I use my subscription to access my old notes. For new notes, I use a different app. I do not need lots of AI. You could have offered a basic plan, without restricting device number, notebook number, or number of notes. AI use could be limited, as many like me would not need the same. However, you imposed lots of restrictions, making the app practically unusable. For someone using Evernote for over a decade, the number of notebooks and notes has long crossed the currently imposed limits. So in effect, I cannot create a new notebook or note.
Useful app!
Trusted for over a decade
I've used Evernote for well over a decade, on both my laptop and my phone. It's been a reliable and trusted tool for managing my personal notes, memories, financial information, and reference materials. I highly recommend it.
