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.
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.
Take snippets of my ideas in writing to avoid forgetting them.
I like feature to add tags and stack notebooks.
Pricing, its still bit pricy. And less storage space compared to onenote.
Removes limitation of using one note by stacking notebooks, and tags
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.
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.
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.
I use Evernote for almost everything...taking notes, creating plans, checklists and even just writing down normal stuff. The ability to add photos to the notes directly and then annotate them makes it really helpful. The best utility can be derived on a iPad or a note phone where you can directly write on the note. The reason this became my go to app, is the integration/sync between various devices of different systems. I use this app on my office Macbook Pro which is also synced with my Android phone and a personal windows system. Moving between devices is just effortless.
Not much actually. I love almost everything about this app. If I had to pick one thing it would be the price of the premium version.
Productivity, sharing & collaboration and most importantly the peace of mind which it provides me when I know I can have all the data available on any of my systems in the scenario that one of my devices crashes.
It's really easy to organize my notes with EverNote, I have a folder per month and another one with really important and another with notes to delete later. I have been using this for almost 10 years and has seen a shift from 4 computers and several more phones and I have never had a problem with a device.
I can't really recommend it for new users unless you are paying for premium or only use 2 devices, the 2 device limit is a deal breaker for many and many other apps are free with almost the same functionality and paying for premium without having tested it enough is not a common choice.
I have my notes in Evernote since around 2012 as a free notes app for Android and have keep using it until now. It just works for me
I hit the status bar whenever I have an idea that I need to be written so I don't forget a good idea that comes to my mind and as quickly as I do that and finish writing I go back to whatever I was doing without breaking my workflow in any way. Another great feature is being able to take pictures in my cellphone and having them in my PC and screenshots on my pc sent to my phone
It isn't as good as it was before on the free tier, I have a paid plan sponsored by my manager so it isn't an issue for me but if you don't plan to pay and already have office OneNote is just better because of all the limitations in the free version of EverNote.
Taking notes :) It's only and main purpouse
- I run two online businesses and the amount of information that I need to keep organized can be overwhelming. Evernote makes it easy to organize and find this information again. - I love the android app which makes it very easy to take (voice) notes, scan documents, add drawings and organize them.
- The windows app does not have a dark mode. My whole pc only runs dark mode apps, so I use the web version of Evernote instead. - The web clipper (for firefox) can be slow from time to time, and once a month Evernote will crash.
- organizing all my digital files - collecting my thoughts and ideas - keeping digital copies of my important physical documents It's like an external hard drive for my brain.
I have moved between works, devices, and even countries, and my notes stay there for me, easily searchable for whenever I need them. I love the fact that the number I wrote in a quick note for a friend 5 years ago is as easy to find as the notes I took yesterday. Another great thing is how easy to classify the notes, I keep two batches, one to keep, one to delete so it doesn't get too messy over time.
I do use EverNote for work, but only on trivial things like writing temporary data and non-important information. I would not recommend anyone to use EverNote with confidential files unless explicitly allowed by your management. It's better to be safe in most countries that is a firable offense.
Taking notes in my day to day.
It's really simple to use and cross-platform (except for Linux, but works perfectly with wine since 2014) It has worked great in every mobile device I have had included an iPhone X, iPhone 7, and several Android devices passing by Samsung, ZTE and Xiaomi. Most important of all, my notes are still there almost 10 years later since I was creating notes for my college, and downloading a backup is just too easy. Long gone is my phone from 2011 but my notes are still there. Another thing I'm grateful for is that the notes can save Images. After a computer crashed because of a hard drive failure though some images were lost for good and it was a good surprise to see that I had a copy in my notes.
It's 2020 already, get a Linux version already, Wine works but still Evernote is not a little startup anymore is one of the best note-taking apps out there. It is great for personal use and to store non-confidential work files like when we do brainstorms of any kind but I don't think I would trust this with any customer data. It's important to keep a healthy separation no matter how convenient it may seem.
Taking notes, pictures and sharing them between devices
Evernote is a great way to organize my thoughts & ideas. It's very convenient to be able to create separate notebooks and add new notes in each notebook. This method keeps me organized especially when I'm on the go. The search functionality is also really helpful. Additionally I love how my notes sync across devices. Often I get ideas for social media posts, blogs, etc. while on a walk. I can just open up my Evernote app to add the idea and don't have to worry about forgetting it by the time I get home.
Sometimes I wish there was a 3rd layer within Evernote's organizational structure. I'm trying to keep my # of notebooks manageable; and thus stick to broad topics such as marketing, legal, etc. However within that notebook, I'll have a note for LinkedIn posts and have to keep a running list versus having separate notes for each.
- Keeping my ideas organized - Storing what would have previously been hand written notes in a central place - Ability to access notes on all devices
