"Wonderful note taking software"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote has built its reputation by offering wonderful notice taking software so my work can be more productive and organized. I appreciate the simplicity of taking note on my mac and using different functions such as different pointer color, night mode, font scaling, presentation, voice recording and work chat. I also appreciate the reasonable price: even premium subscription is affordable and reasonable with unlimited sync cross devices, large note size, convert to pdf. Hand-drawing sketches on iPhone are quite useful as well.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I don't think you can use the hand-drawing function on MacBook, only iPhone, iPod, and iPad. Also, the grammar and spelling checking failed to work couple times and I have to reinstall the software to solve the problem.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Conferences, seminars, online training. All these online meetings required note taking and presentations. Evernote is easy, efficient, and professional. I used to take note on paper and later have to scan and email to everyone which took longer and sometimes people couldn't recognize my handwriting and drawing, and the worst part was I couldn't recognize either. What a nightmare.

"An excellent organizational tool"
What do you like best about Evernote?

The format of the software allowed for a truly organized feel. I was able to compartmentalize different aspect of work responsibilities under different categories. Creating different pages and notes allowed for a truly smooth flow of business. I was able to feel more satisfied with my work when I could cross off bullets on my to-do lists and task pages.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I wish there were more effective reminder options for task lists. Making the lists is important but if there were some way to create an effective set of reminder pop-ups, I believe that would be helpful. In addition, there were occasional syncing problems between the phone app and the desktop software.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an administrator, I have several different areas of responsibility. I had trouble keeping these separate arenas organized and compartmentalized properly - Evernote helped me solve that issue.

"Perfect Solution"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Easy to store notes for personal and professional projects. Helps to keep me on task, and syncs with my phone. Been using this product for several years and couldn't be happier with this solution.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

There is a cost to share notes with others or to sync to more than 2 devices. I get it if they don't want me sharing with other users, but I would like to have this synced to my home and work computer as well as my home and work cell phone.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me with planning, I can access my notes from anywhere. Have done everything from planning a major party to keeping track of client notes and working on professional certifications using this tool.

Easy to use and access from all of my devices, regardless of location. The platform works on any device (desktop, mobile, tablet, iOS and Android) and is easily shareable.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Nothing. No, really. Nothing. At all. This is great. The freemium version is incredible. I use this product every day and have been fortunate enough to use it for free.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Evernote is the best place for storing notes quickly and carefully. It's absolutely my work go-to. "
What do you like best about Evernote?

I like the clean interface of evernote best. It is easy to do exactly what I need to do, and it saves quickly which I love. I appreciate that it has a desktop interface which I use way more than the web app. I also like its ability to easily import screenshots which is a big way that I track my work. It makes things a lot easier than using the ever-annoying Word and Microsoft office tools.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I do not like the design of the left sidebar as I find it hard to differentiate between my folders and sections of content. I wish there was some kind of symbol system or a bit more space between everything to tell things apart.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am tracking all of my customer interview notes here, and I am trying to solve organizational problems for my own work. My team also uses evernote to share content which is really easy to do and something I enjoy on this product.

"Magnific"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I love the simplicity of Evernote. I store everythings: documents, screenshoots, wireframes and especially notes. I loves the organization tree and the tools that i can use: tables, to dos list, alert. I can annote all my ideas in a only place and I can connect a lot of useful services. I can use it like a storage service and it is very simple to search documents or single words. It is a nice swiss knife for my archive

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I dislike the recurring payment. Evernote premium is a valid solution but i would pay one time a fee and not a annual or a monthly subscription. In addition I dislike there is not a integration with dropbox or iCloud similarly Google drive integration, but the developers will provide soon, i am sure. And finally I dislike the notification about the to dos list. There is not a recurring or a multiple alarms

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

I resolve the problem to fix and store my ideas. I order my files and I can control my workflow and its evolution. In addition i share all with my co-workers, customers and with my lawyer and business consultant. Then, I know the whole situation of my business because I store my invoices and my receipts

"Keeps me organized ALL the time!"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I like that Evernote is very easy to use! It is extremely consistent across all platforms, and I use it on my laptop, iPad, and Google Pixel smartphone. I can clip web content directly from my browser and quickly categorize and tag it for easy access. Evernote gives you the ability to type in notes from any device, or handwrite notes on your touchscreen device. No matter what the source of the notes, Evernote has an OCR reader that allows you to search words in notes, even if they are handwritten.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The only thing I don't like about Evernote is that the note files are not compatible with other software platforms. If I want to transfer them to use elsewhere, it is a copy and paste process. The good news for me is, they work for me in Evernote!

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a consultant that is responsible for producing a lot of new content on a weekly basis. Evernote helps me store ideas and research for my writing, easily group like content, and then be able to quickly access it. I also use Evernote to store important business and personal documents, and business receipts, again, so they can be easily accessed if needed. One of my goals is to become as paperless as possible and Evernote is the primary tool to accomplish this goal.

"The most versatile note taking app"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote is amazing in the sense that as a standalone app, it is already a very useful note taking application that lets create multiple notebooks, add images, audio and attachments. Its great for annotations, creating to do lists, assisting with task management via GTD methodologies. You can format your notes. But in addition to that, the browser add-ons make an already great app even better! You can save entire website pages, save certain highlighted clips, save links Evernote bookmarks. The list goes on.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

It's blessing is also its curse. Because you can so easily store so much information, you need a strategy of how you will keep all this information. A strategy for naming your notebooks, your tags, etc. If you just throw everything in there, it'll be like a big clutter of notes and you won't keep using it.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Going paperless, organizing notes and organizing research material.

"Evernote as a perfect CMS for SMIs"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote is an all-platform player so no matter what device you're using, you can access your content. Evernote has a huge support system for every individual or business needs as notebook structure to organize, tagging to search, media handling to be able to store almost any type of content and flexibility to create your own, creative solutions.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

As it can be a huge CMS system, sometimes it needs to sync longer (30 sec). But that's acceptable I think.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're running our whole business on Evernote. Project planning, meeting notes, internal training system, HR, Finance, etc. I's a core system for us. Also, as an individual we do the same at family level - in a separate workspace!

"Brain extension"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote remembers everything. It integrates seemlessly in your browser, in apps, in your phone, in your e-mail ... The desktop clients for OS X and Windows to manage your data are a great piece of software as well. I've used it use it for research related tasks, writing, learning and documentation.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

There is no Linux client. With Linux desktops you'll have to use the web frontend. It's ok, but it lacks quite a few features and it is slow. The Linux Applications out there built by the community are not very good. Especially if you have a large database.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Evernote is a one-stop-shop for a personal database.

There is nothing at the moment that I do not like about Evernote.

"best solution for saving your notes"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Organization of data in notebooks, very good desktop application for windows, easy searching either by tag or by title. Also, it is possible to search inside notes. I am using the application since 2012 and i am very pleased compared with other similar programs. Clip to evernote is necessary chrome plugin in order to save your web pages to evernote notebooks. Also, you can navigate in notebooks by using the browser version of evernote in linux. It has one of the best applications for mobile devices. I certainly recommend it and it can be used together with Pocket to transfer notes between them using IFTTT commands.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I have tested similar applications like OneNote but i always return to evernote. Maybe the subscriptions for evernote premium and evernote plus are high.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

you can share notes with other programmers in your team. You find all your notes easily without loosing time searching. Productivity is the main advantage of the application.
