"Evernote is formidable tool to organize, your work and life."
What do you like best about Evernote?

Don't ever forget a note, Evernote is an easy-to-use software that allows you to organize everything while offering lots of upload space per month. At first glance, Evernote might look simply just like notebooks with folder-like structures (which is very lovely), but it's much more potent than that. because of the flexibility and functionalities, it offers You can capture and keep detailed notes with text, images, web pages, PDF's and Office documents to any Notebook you created. It's beneficial when working solo on a project, working collaboratively, or just archiving for later use. It's possible to move your emails to your notebooks and keep everything on track with the sync across multiple device's capabilities. While doing this, you can add tags to your contents and then search PDFs, Office docs, and images based on those tags is very time-saving when you have a lot of things going on in your life. The browser extension is fantastic and straightforward to use when capturing web content. For those who need to put ideas on paper, the Evernote for IOS or Android let's record your thoughts and drawings from the camera. For those who like to keep notes and draw in a nice Notebook, there are even the Evernote Notebooks by Moleskine that carry tag stickers ( a way to add tags ) you can apply directly to your notes when capturing them with your device,

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I would prefer if Evernote has more sub-levels of notepads. In some specific cases, that would be very beneficial. When using the browser extension, a little more flexibility in the Capture Formats would be nice. The browser extension could do a better job when it comes to storing pages or articles from websites.

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

It's allowing me to organize my ideas and projects. Making my to-do lists easy to access and reducing the need for paper or printing. Evernote makes my life easier.

"Best Task Management Tool"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Simple and easy to use interface makes the whole time management process lot more productive for me. I have been using it for Everyday and anyone who is using EvernoteI would highly recommend to go for premium version. Its much better and loaded with great features.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Nothing as such I really like it. In fact I bought the premium version and its even better.I think the mac app is a little laggy. Also a small suggestion it would be cool if there were more themes to choose for the app. Apart from these minor things I feel rest of the app is awesome!

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

Using it as unofficial mangement tool. Its really good for day to day time tracking. I use it daily to track my tasks and also as a reminder app. It helps in better time management of my day.

"Best app on desktop/mobile for taking notes!"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I love that you can so easily organize all your notes into larger folders or "notebooks". Also, I love that you can customize your note fonts, easily insert bullets or lists, and even seamlessly add images right into your notes. I also think it's brilliant that you can sync your notes online so that you can access your notes on your computer and your phone. The software works well on both desktop and mobile device.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I dislike that you have to upgrade to Premium or Business in order to access some of the more personalized features and to collaborate with others. Google docs is a place that multiple users could collaborate in at the same time on one project. I think this feature is essential and shouldn't be limited to users who pay $12.50 a month.

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

It helps keep all my notes organized in one place. Notes are clean and dated with a last edited sticker. The actual user accessibility and functionality is all great. Perfect for taking notes for lengthy periods of time on ongoing projects or classes.

"Incredible application to organize my Notes / Files"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote is the easiest way to organize your everyday life by taking quick notes and save all your valuable input data. i can access them anytime or from any device, because my notes are in the cloud platform. I can get quick notifications when my files are updated and all the notes can be organised by my preferances. Evernote has set up models to take notices or to create and to-do lists for everyday activities. The most important advantage of this application is that I can share my notes or file with others without worrying about data. It would be best if you tried adding different records and documents, including audio , video files, notes and images.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Premium doesn't really worth for me. Search filters are not sufficient to rapidly access information. In the Android program, the chat feature is very bad.

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

I usually use this to save my word documents, Take quick notes and other records of my work. This is one of my on the go to tool..

"No-frills productivity tool"
What do you like best about Evernote?

My day starts with a to-do list, and Evernote is a clean, free tool that does the job without any frills.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

None for me. I used Premium for a while but the value prop wasn't relevant for me, so I moved to Basic again.

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

For real-time cross-functional task planning and statuses, Evernote works best for our small team. We can move between prioritizations and keep everyone updated, all the more in a remote working environment.

"The best note-taking opportunity"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I really like tool, since it enables me to smoothly and efficiently arrange my tasks and work, helping me to control details effectively from various platforms or smartphones. I love being able to record suggestions among documents and journals in folder style. I have been able to search notes from previous years to reflect back at recycled old things. Evernote lets me maintain my information with one place and arrange them according to groups - and removes any excess of papers. You may also use EverNote's software to highlight and archive its most valuable aspects that you have published.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The ability to to part group of a document is missing for EverNote. Now, it is only a systemic concern which does not remove and interrupt the System's progress, often separate notes & comments cannot be tried to navigate. because Evernote has limited synchronization recently.

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

If it's conference or meeting minutes / comments or something, I put all the records in Evernotes which is extremely easy and we can discuss those notes later. I make different notebooks for each session in order to arrange it well. so I do not loss any valuable information's. Evernote allows us to take notice whenever we have got a smartphone on us , because when I'm at working or even at a on the road, I could access my notes.

"My favorite notes companion"
What do you like best about Evernote?

As an old school engineer, I need to have whatever I want to check with a keybind without using the mouse and Evernote excels at it. I can easily open a new note or open any of my multiple favorites with only the keyboard and have that available as a reference when I'm using another program on the side, it justs works and has good keybinds for people like me that like to avoid the mouse unless it is really needed.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

As a free user device limit is only 2, I don't really mind paying for a service or a program I like but the free version is at the state that it limits your usage in a way that doesn't encourage you to try to use the "premium" features and instead pushes you to other tools, even if you decide to upgrade later you will probably not use the features since you already had another solution.

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

When I'm using a terminal program, connected to a remote device and I need to check the specifics of something, having EverNote on the side with the info I need is just invaluable from a time saver perspective.

"The place where note taking made easier"
What do you like best about Evernote?

There are several things to start with and Evernote is one of the best ways to take notes. It is not only easy but also makes it look very good when you start using it. Evernote has everything to make use of starting with the newly launched editor to all the tools embedded in it. It is not complex to use but the more you use the more we glue to it. It has all the best fonts, embedding options, and making notes inside it makes life easier.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

There are one or two things I dislike about Evernote is the ability to export the note into PDF or any other format has been disabled. We can save the files offline but the files can be opened in only Evernote or can be imported to OneNote or apple notes using external software which makes life a bit more difficult.

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

I used to take lecture notes on Evernote. It is easy to maintain all relatable files into a single notebook and arrange it in a simple and clean order. Used to embed Pdf notes and annotate within Evernote. It is easy to collaborate with peers and use it simultaneously. Used to make to-do lists and used it for daily reflections which set up the day.

"Good complement for day to day work reminders"
What do you like best about Evernote?

It is a nice tool to complement my work tools and keep track of what I should be doing without a formal agenda if I have to set up a meeting or a reminder for other people I use email but if the reminder is for myself like "check the progress on project x" I use Evernote since I can easily set up reminders with just the information I need and add a checkmark if was completed before without the need for the reminder.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I don't like the tag system, after many notes, the tag recommendations stop being reliable, and I took too much time sorting it so I just stopped tagging and have not seen a big difference. But maybe it's my fault for not knowing how to use it.

"One of those note-making apps which you love using day in and day out."
What do you like best about Evernote?

The best thing about using Evernote is its functionality. When I was looking for note-making apps Evernote appeared out of nowhere and helped me take notes effortlessly. It has the best functionalities everyone search. Its applications on both Desktop and Mobile are remarkable in terms of offline usage and features. I typically used the Evernote making app for Daily planning, Weekly planning, To-Do, Project plans, Lecture notes. It has a fantastic import functionality where we can directly embed a pdf directly inside a note. Reminders, notifications and sharing functionalities are a plus. It also has tagging functionalities for each note which inturn makes easy to find the notes and sort out the files accordingly.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

There are a couple of things I dislike about the Evernote. It's too pricy if you are a daily user and cloud size given to a free user is way too less when compared to its contemporaries. Sometimes too many options inside the app are confusing and may appear difficult to use. If Evernote ever considers changing the appearance of the app it will do a world of good. Export functionality could have made better. Exporting files either in Docx format or pdf format will help people better instead of ENEX files which can be opened only on Evernote.

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

It helped me write and put things in order. It helped me plan things in advance and use the app wherever I need. Helped me note down the ideas whenever and wherever I want with the iOS, Android and Windows applications. It helped me collaborate on one or two projects with friends where the inputs and corrections were necessary. It's easy to give edit access and edit wherever necessary.

"Data collection and shared information to speed up tasks."
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote makes it easier to copy and share some material, such as notes and photographs. You can also store and exchange other information, such as business cards and voice cards. This is a simple method that can be used for exchanging information within the organization or for handling personal information. Many people use it not only for industry but also for private use, and it is well known.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The free edition has a very limited capacity of 60MB, so you must use the subscription version.

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

It is possible to store and exchange varied content, such as notes, images, and sounds, but, because the capacity is limited relative to other resources, it is not ideal when you choose to share information with a large number of people. It would not be ideal for exchanging heavy media, images, videos, etc. It is really easy to use and it is quick and easy to use even with those who do not know IT. By creating a shared page, you can conveniently share it with non-Evernote users.

"I have been using evernote for 10 years now"
What do you like best about Evernote?

It works like the first day and I still have all my notes made 10 years ago. I have changed my cellphone 5 times, using Android and iPhone, and my laptop 4 times with Windows and MacOSX and it just works great with every device. Control + Command + N has become one of my most used commands (it opens EverNote window on MacOSX) since I can type whatever is in my mind and close it quickly withput altering my workflow.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The free tier is not great anymore, I got into it because it was free and have being a paying user and free user across these years, but I cannot recommend it anymore to use as a free user if you use multiple devices or use it more than one computer. It is a great program now but it was also great back in the day as a free user, not anymore.

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

I can easily dump my ideas into text thanks to Evernote and review them later when I have time to act on them and it also works like an archive.

"Good little tool to write ideas on the go"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I tend to get distracted and forget if I don't write my ideas but it is as easy as pressing control + command + n to open the Evernote window, writing a few words so I don't forget, and control + command + n to close it again and continue with whatever I was doing, I really like having the keyboard shortcut since I can write without moving my mouse and as soon as I'm done continue to wherever I was without disturbing my workflow.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

It isn't as friendly for new users as it used to be, the free version is far too restrictive in its functionalities. I totally understand that they need to make money but by showing a really limited product you are actually losing money by scaring potential paying users, not the other way around.

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

Take snippets of my ideas in writing to avoid forgetting them.

"I'm a fan of evernote for its simplicity"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I click one button and EverNote is there, finish writing what I needed, saved and I can review it later, so when I'm in the middle of something and an idea comes to my mind I just use EverNote to write it down and when I'm done working with the current task or series of tasks I can check it later or even in a week and still be there waiting for me.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I like to keep work and leisure separate so it is perfect for me since I only use it in my work laptop and that's it, in that way is just perfect but if you are planning to use it on multiple devices you'll need a paid plan or most likely just use a different app altogether.

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

Writing down ideas that come to my mind before they are gone with the click of a button(really two since I use it in a keyboard shortcut) and close it with the same keyboard combination, minimally intrusive and highly useful.
