Tbh, I'm really disappointed. I liked Evernote

After paying for two accounts for over a decade and accumulating over 20,000 notes, I switched to Joplin. While many people mention the doubling of Evernote’s prices, they often overlook the fact that Bending Spoons laid off all of Evernote’s staff. I strive not to support companies that primarily exist to enrich their new owners at the expense of their employees’ livelihoods.

I'm leaving after 17 years and 9600 notes. Still figuring out where I'm going to go. First I'm going to archive off some really old stuff in EN that I no longer need. What I will miss most is the integration between Readwise and Evernote to finally surface my kindle highlights in a viable and usable form. Hardly any of my books are purchased at Amazon, so this elusive desire has gone unanswered until last November. I may create a new Evernote account just for that as the replacements I'm exploring don't have that functionality. So far I'm exploring Notebook from Zoho and Capabilities. I use Amazing Marvin for my todo, Calendar integration etc and mostly use Evernote to collect information for later and store some basic image captured documents (like odometer reading/ gas station receipt) every time I fill up. Plus I have lots and lots of Recipes. I've noticed that less and less is Evernote actually search friendly often not surfacing a note I'm positive is in there. And can I tell you how much I hate the "AUTO" feature for capturing paper notes or quick pictures.

Hello, I'm sticking with Evernote for several reasons, not least for its ease of use, which allows me to stay focused on my work (I don't have time to waste maintaining a system like Notion), but also for its web clipper, which is one of the best on the market, if not THE best !

Agree. Notion is just a waste of time for me.

I have tried almost ALL note-taking apps and I am have came back to Evernote. 1. There is NO app which has OCR capabilities like Evernote. 2. Ability to natively record audio and add them anywhere in the note is another unique feature. 3. Feature to natively sketch inside the app 4. Annotating images and screenshots in a note. The only app which comes close is OneNote in terms of these features. But I just hate Microsoft products UI UX. Syncing has 0 issues for me and has improved drastically. I am staying 100%.

I stay : - Free is never "free": someone has to pay for the non-paying users. I rather prefer my subcription money used to make Evernote better instead of supporting those "free users" - Since Bending Spoons took over Evernote, the syncing is like 100 times better than before - I really like the AI-search. It completely changed the way I search inside Evernote - I tried Notion and other competitors, but I prefer the simplicity of Evernote. It helps me focus on productivity, not on playing around with "features".

@@erodrig356 My perspective concerning which company/product I would choose? 1. Evernote: slow, syncing completely unreliable, financial future very questionable 2. Evernote: fast, syncing as good as instant, financial future probably a lot more realistic Of course, the more realistic financial future, that is an educated guess. Until now, I have no reasons to question Bending Spoons. As far as I know, they never promised to not fire anyone, to not change the pricing. They did promise to make Evernote faster (they did), to make the syncing faster and more reliable (they did), to start implementing AI (they did), … So I have a lot more trust in the current Evernote company than the one of the past until they prove me wrong. Btw, one of the problems that the current Evernote solved for me … I had multiple mail subscriptions which provided me mails with a lot of useful information. Problem: I have not the time to read all those mails or to get the useful info out of it. Solution: I moved all those mails to Evernote into some themed notebooks. I’m talking about ten thousands of mails. Because of the sheer volume, they became completely useless while sitting in my mailbox. I can now use the Evernote AI to question the info in those notebooks, for example, “What can you tell me about better organising my time”. It will now use those mails/notes to produce an answer. It completely changed the way I work with mail subscriptions. And this is only one example. I think that a lot of people are still thinking the old way when working with notes/information. Well, I was at least one of those.

I have been a paying Evernote subscriber from 2011 until 2022. Over Christmas, I finally closed my Evernote account having moved all my data to Notion and OneNote (still deciding). It was a good run.

Similar to Francesco's guidance, I have changed up the foundations of my note-taking and productivity organization, with some truly valuable benefits in the past 5 months as I was testing my new tool (Obsidian). I cracked a few use cases that I could never get traction upon with Evernote. And I find I have experienced more creativity with the PKM-oriented approach, connecting different thoughts.

After years on Evernote, I could not take it anymore. Its slowness has not improved and its iPhone app is even slower, the limit of 50 notes is outright offensive. I am in the process of transitioning to Notion and getting used to it.

As Francesco mentions, if you have many notes, you will want to go with a tool with a good migration tool from Evernote. I found that with Obsidian the migration was robust, with exception of the web-clipped notes and email sent notes. But there are steps documented on the web to process them special. Also there are other tools that will also import Evernote, but expect some percentage of notes will have issues, and will need special attention if you want to retain their content.

Thank you for this. I’ve been an Evernote user since May 2008. It is hard to believe, but I feel like I have no other option. Your video did help a lot, however, where does notion fit into all of this? Is it in any way an alternative to Evernote. I use Evernote for scanning pdf with Scannable, searching inside pdf, taking text notes, and web clipping. I am thinking of using Notion for notes, tasks, projects (PARA method, Ultimate brain setup), up note or day one journal for the simple text notes and also Notion (different database) for web clipping. I just need something to search a pdf with keywords from inside the file, like in Evernote. Any ideas?

I use Evernote as a file-cabinet and archive. I have 4-5 notebooks with 400-450 notes in total based on "area" and then I have "organised" all my notes through a tag-hierarchy. Can anyone suggest a good alternative based on these criteria? I really don't need that many, or advanced features. The most important thing is the ability to setup a tag structure.

Great video and very timely. Been an Evernote user/subscriber since 2009 and while I completely support paying for software I am having a tough time swallowing the huge bump in price that Evernote has implemented. Perhaps I don't utilize Evernote to its fullest extent and therefor don't value the new features as much as other "power" users. I have to add that Apple Notes is becoming a much more viable alternative option with each new update. And you can't beat the price. One question, If I choose to not renew my subscription what happens to my current stash of 2,000 notes? On their website Evernote says nothing will happen to them but I'd love further confirmation about that.

I will move from Evernote to Apple notes too. It’s is true that Apple updated them and therefore it looks more reasonable for me to try it. I used them before. And for me there is no value in paying 14,99 usd a month for something i can use for free. for more complex things i will try Notion. There are people who find value in Evernote but, honestly, for users like me paying this price when i want to create more than 50 notes is a rip off.

I've been a fan of Evernote since the start but my usage has declined over the last few years. Combine that with the huge price bump, I no longer find it a viable or valuable option. I'm trying to use the apps I have at my disposal so I've imported all my notes into Apple Notes. There's no subscription costs and I can collaborate on notes with my wife much easier than I could with Evernote or Craft. The only drawback with Apple Notes is the inability to add notes via email and the absence of a web clipper. Otherwise, it will meet my needs in the short term.

I've noticed you've never mentioned what note apps you used. Maybe you should make a video about that. We are all curious.

OK, lots of folks are moving their notes, but I ha e yet to see anyone tell exactly how to do it?

I started using evernote at the beginning of 2023 and used it for a full year with a paid subscription. In the end, I didn't use all of it's functionalities since I'm not a hardcore user, which is why I have decided to move on to something more straight forward.

Being almost ancient, I was one of the first subscribers to Evernote and it was one of my key services. Once Phil Libin left it lost its way even more and deteriorated into a bloatware-heavy monster. Once BS got its hands on it and the prices soared, I had already left and plumped for Upnote. I admire those subscribers who are sticking with it but I am also with Victor Bernace, I will not support a company that lays off hundreds of loyal employees. BS should have taken a leaf out of the book of Todoist and worked out an efficient remote working scenario. That it hasn't done this makes me doubt their technical and management abilities.

Been with Evernote since the Tape days. Realised that I generally use it as a filing cabinet, rarely seeing the files again. Joplin is doing this well, for free. However, I'm always happy to pay for a decent product - if ONLY Bending Spoons would communicate better on what we might expect...

I've checked out some other options, but the OCR feature for PDFs and images is kinda limited in other apps, and it doesn't perform as smoothly. Honestly, Evernote seems a bit outdated to me, and the new owners don't really seem tuned in to what their paying users want - same goes for the old owners, to be honest. 🤷‍♂ It's like a golden opportunity for a talented coder to chat with us, the paying Evernote customers, and whip up a script that actually does what we need and works seamlessly. 🚀.

I am sticking to it for it's integration with Read Wise. I know Notion gives that option as well. But the minor issue I have with Notion is that when I copy paste any thing with quotes around them , and paste it in the browser or notepad or word the output is not right. As I use Booleans a lot, that is a deal killer for me.

What do you mean at the 7:55 mark about being Apple promoted or Apple adopted? You also talk about being less community focused. I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean by these comments. Is Evernote intending to become an Apple exclusive app? And all companies want to have some element of community so what aspect of community do you see them trying to get away from? Are you trying to contrast being more mainstream with being more niche? I certainly think it's already pretty mainstream in terms of functionality but maybe not in terms of awareness. Not trying to be challenging, but seeking to understand these comments because I think you've said something like this a few times related to Evernote so I'm trying to understand what you really are envisioning.

Evernote was FORCED on me back when i had an HTC. I used the built in notetaking app and suddenly it said "notes is now Evernote!" It was servicable for a while but it's turned into an absolute circus, every time i open a note i get bombarded with double ads that are so stupidly difficult to dismiss that i forget what note i was trying to take in the first place. Screw this app. More like Evernope.

Goodbye Evernote after many years. I migrate to Joplin with sync over OneDrive. In the free edition of Evernote at last i only could export 100 notes.

what they did to evernote is unacceptable. I have used evernote mainly to sort and scan my pdf documents, it had a great ocr, and i had my documents on my phone easy searchable. i will move to apple notes for this.

Great assessment. Both on deciding whether to stay and options. I left Evernote after 12 years as a paying subscriber. I went heavier with the PKM oriented Obsidian. Regarding Evernote, I found that I don't have any valuable use cases with AI enabled. As such, I simply will not pay a premium price for those features. However, the major part of the decision, and my reason to go through the pain of migrating tools, is that Bending Spoons have not given me a reason to trust them. They have nearly doubled my price. And then they have disabled exporting more than 100 notes, making it nearly impossible to "decide" to stay. Sorry, but from my perspective, this seems like a money grab, EVEN IF that wasn't their intention.

Too late. I switched a couple of months ago to Notion

It is not possible to understand why an application that reaches a high standard and fuctionality, people leave for an application of a lower standard and continue to suffer from development problems - masochistic people.

I left last year. Evernote has nothing that other apps don’t have.

If it’s a monthly charge it’s 12x more than you’re saying it is!

I'm leaving. degrading my service and up-charging me is not a path to success. So far I'm liking Obsidian.

I really like what Evernote has done with it's application and is great for that it is. I'm not staying because of their terrible terrible so terrible android experience. I'm sick of it and I really need it. So if they fix their incredible slow android app, I'll come back immediately.

I already moved to UpNote ❤

Upnote is very fast, reliable , features complete .EN managed by a whole company from Italy is a customer -focused disaster (I’ve been customer for 12 years) , ripping your pockets , while UN costs less than 1$/ momth. Your comment is either based on ignorance or racism , I dont see the point (is Samsung from northamerica or in Korea ???

How was the export/import experience? Lose any data switching to Bear? Like Bear so far?

​@@swacsd Actually, I did not had any problem. There are restrictions by Evernote. You can't export multiple notebooks at once, or more than 100 notes (? not sure anymore). Otherwise, there were no issues. Also the attachments were exported without problem and added to the right notes. But I have to say, that most was text or attachments - and almost no tables. So I can't comment on that.

pricing is fucking stupid when compared to competitors.

I have already moved

There is no alternative to Evernote - full stop. Notion, Obsidian, etc require you to build an Evernote capability before you can use it - other solutions just don’t offer the full package that Evernote does. Evernote has been improving. Innovation? No, I don’t AI to search my notes

Great trollin‘.

People should have left evernote YEARS ago.

bye bye Evernote! welcome alternatives! there are so many to choose from and way cheaper or free!

"Keep Productive's channel leave or stay?" - Leave. Lost it's credibility obout independent objectivity over Evernote quite some time ago.

wow its 2024 and some people are still using evernote?

their Android app is so bad that even the Back button isn't working properly. Pure garbage.

They still didn't fix that smh. It just closes your app

Evernote is finished !!!

Evernote doesn't work anymore. Is unusable.

Leave

I'll stay on Evernote. Only the search capabilities in several file types and the web clipper are worth the Premium plan. And that's "only" 100€ / year. Notion isn't cheaper and don't offer the mentioned features at all. It's a tool for different purpose. Onenote is a more comparable tool to Evernote, but not quite as good as Evernote. I don't understand people who are switching to Joplin: It still feels like beta, not that feature rich, you have to take care of syncing or pay for Joplin Cloud. Even Apple Notes is far more clean and reliable than Joplin. I tried all the mentioned tools -> always came back to Evernote! Nevertheless, constantly trying to find the best tool and switch regurarely is the #1 productivity killer! Just stick to a tool and keep working!

just too much tools around lol

Evernote is done. They are way behind the race now.
