A power app, not just a tool for jotting down notes now and then.
I have been using Evernote since 2012. It was good on both desktop and mobile, but then it started to decline and became almost unusable. While there were some improvements, they only kept it at a basic level of usability. Then Bending Spoons purchased Evernote, and they have done a great job. The app is excellent now. I use it to keep work and personal notes.
I notice a lot of people complaining about Evernote's subscription fees. I believe it's fair; everyone working to improve this app deserves to be paid. We all need to earn a living, and that money comes from customers using the product. Is the price too high? It very well could be. If you only use it a couple of times a month to make quick notes or save recipes, there are plenty of cheaper options available.

I use it to forward and organize 30 to 50 emails a day, as a planner, and as a file cabinet for numerous items. I utilize almost all of the options and features. Evernote meets my needs, and for me, it is a good deal. To truly find value in it, you need to use it often and take advantage of its features.

Evernote is better than Ever
Evernote is better than Ever
I understand the complaints, I have voiced them. The current version on mobile is the main reason I've returned. It is a good balance between function and navigation. It is a faster more intuitive layout. If it were the first time Evernote came to exist, many of the complaints would be more positive other than those who want free or cheap. Though I subscribed, I think I could adjust to the free, if I use it for in process notes and tasks, and not to store less active notes. The PC desktop or web app integrate with the mobile and keep me productive. The phones desktop widget is an easy tap, dictation, and save for later anywhere. The web clipper is still my preferred.

"Use your brain for creativity, not for remembering."
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote is evolving into an all -purpose remembering system. Notes can be created from the scratchpad, or by emailing anything to your personal Evernote email address, and the Web Clipper enables you to capture anything useful from the internet. Notebooks keep everything organized, and searching allows you to look for content in your own notes, as well as in any content you have saved (including pdfs). If you are a researcher or a learner of any kind, you'll find Evernote useful.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

This is improving, but Evernote has historically been weak at options for sharing notes with others. Printing and exporting often result in a lower quality of output than the original input. This is much better in recent versions.

Recommendations to others considering Evernote:

There are a variety of paid plans: research what is offered with each to get the best ROI for your circumstances.

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

I read widely, and Evernote gives me a way to store all relevant content for future reference. I especially like the way the Web Clipper can simplify a webpage to remove all the extraneous material and leave you with the core content (omitting ads, clickbait and other distractions). Now I don't have to print and file paper copies, or cut and paste content into documents and then wonder where they are on my hard drive. Evernote does all that for me, and I can go back to being creative: enter a thought or a query into the search bar, and immediately see all the relevant content I have collected. And it's all in the cloud, so I can access it on any device.

"Evernote forever"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I like how easy and accessible Evernote is. They make everything organizational and easy to see in one place.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The different option plans are great, but the basic one offers barely anything so you pretty much have to go for a higher package to experience anything different than Microsoft Word.

Recommendations to others considering Evernote:

Definitely try the package beyond the basic one. You'll love it!

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

Staying organized can be a challenge. With Evernote, it makes it easy to keep everything together in one area.

"Evernote has kept me/my work organized for years and through the pandemic"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I use it very simply with two tiers, the notes and the notebooks. This keeps me totally organized.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I would like to be able to make rectangles around key parts of text. Maybe this is possible and i don't know how. I now use highlight colors to do this.

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

I used to take notes on paper, the moved to word documents into file folders on Word but still had trouble finding just the paper i needed. Now i can always locate what i want and add to it.
