More restrictive
Evernote started as a great utility. Over the years, the pressure to buy their product has gotten more and more. If you want to spend a bunch of money to rent their product (subscription) then it’s great. There are better options out there!
They got greedy
Like all software providers they have to throw AI in because … well because. Now they need to pay for it so let’s whack the price up on the “advanced” plan and then put a cap of 1000 notes on the lower plan so loyal customers of many years who have >1000 notes but don’t need any enterprise or ai features still have to pay . So after more years than I care to imagine , I cancelled my subscription.

Used to love this app until they eliminated my plan
I loved using evernote as a personal notetaking, and pdf/picture saving of articles for all my personal data. Love having access to my digital filing cabinet wherever I am. Sorting notes into notebooks is awesome. The best part is being able to add and edit notes into the cloud without them being stored on my phone. BUT… then evernore was purchased by Bending Spoon and went to only supporting corporate needs with a bunch of features I don’t need or want at a cost that was originally $30/year and now is $250. I’d be willing to pay more than $30 for the old unlimited storage, note, notebooks to upload notes, lists, check lists, pdfs, and some features that others find useful for personal use. There are many other users with similar online comments about being abandoned by evernote and said they have moved to different apps. I find it hard to believe that the non-corporate customers are not a profitable group for evernote in addition to the more expansive plans. Now, we have to put up with an obnoxious ad! I am looking for a new service that is more responsive to customer requests.

What used to be the best app is now the worst
I have been using Evernote for well over 10 years and for the longest time it was my favorite app and when I used multiple times a day. Recently all of the new internal advertising pop-ups and videos have literally made the app completely unusable. This is now the biggest piece of junk, greasy used car salesman app on the market. I now have to go through the nightmare of moving all of my notes over to the basic note app on my phone and then I will be deleting Evernote and never looking back. Screw you Evernote and all of your owners for screwing up one of the greatest organizational tools available to society in modern days!

Taking my notes elsewhere
The constant ads are beyond annoying. The pop up ad that interrupts you while typing is next level. I don’t want to pay for features i will never use and i don’t want to be harassed by pop ups. I just want a simple note taking app.
