Too slow and auto completion is bad
Not as fast as iPhone notes. Has to connect to internet. The release notes is annoying. Auto completion is annoying
Locked out of over a decade of notes

====== 31AUG26: installed EN Claude MCP. Wow! full access to my notes, emends, amends, analyzes and acts with utmost discretion and accuracy. This single feature increased the value of EN multiple times. Having a discussion with Claude to interrogate EN info is, for me, a whole new ballgame, Thanks EN TEAM. ===== 19mar26: sticking with this app because function are 99% consistent across portable devices and desktop. Considered migrating to OneNote, but ONx doesn’t maintain necessary features from iOS to MacOS. Having used ENx for so many years, I’m gonna keep using this app. =Peace=
===06JAN26: across iOS and MacOS. Stream of improvements and remains stable . Never lost a single note or attachment. ==== 21MAR25 Single, home use. steady improvement. I Rely on this app to organize personal papers and items purchased. stability on iOS and MacOS are fine, and sync is spot on. =========Accidentally installed on iPad Mini-. At version 0.1, finding the combined shortcuts and Notebook view was a “tap” dance. Version 0.2 allows much quicker access to the pinned/favorites, but, “Recent” is gone- SORRY, “Recent” has reappeared on the “Shortcuts” side bar. App wide search-find is number 1 and fast- appreciate that improvement, reducing multiple tapping to locate notebook. Evernote seems to be releasing incremental improvements in rapid order. I’m holding on because I m a Home user with 1500 notes in a wide range of Notebooks. Here’s hoping the best for Evernote developers and we EndUsers.

I have used EN since 2010 and have subscribed to Premium (BIG air quotes) since 2012. I am not convinced that the developer uses his/her own app. I run EN on an iPhone 6+ with 128gb RAM. Always using the latest version of iOS AND EN. Always. Placing the selection bar is scatted/unresponsive and/or absent in MANY instances. Wastes TIME. Increases FRUSTRATION. Synchronizing with my MacMini (16gb RAM, 250gb SSD and LATEST OS/EN-not from AppStore) is similarly problematic. MULTIPLE instances of conflicts and duplication of notes when updated on EITHER platform. I try to NEVER have two instances of EN running on separate platform just for that reason. EGADS, this app can created the biggest FuBaR across devices in no time at all. At least EN has stopped freezing and quitting very often. I have over 800 notes and a TON of Pix and PDFs. I am, however, moving to OneNote, especially at work. Geeze

Try a better option
I’ve been using Evernote for 7 years (since 2019) as a paid professional service, and I have seen severe performance degradation over the last 2-3 years. I got a notice that they increased my yearly subscription price from $140 to $240 - on the same day I couldn’t get a note to open on my phone because of an aforementioned new performance issue. I didn’t mind the price increase alone, but Evernote’s service is now full of AI slop and unacceptable software development practices.
For a replacement, I considered Joplin, Notesnook, and Obsidian.
Notesnook is user friendly, boasts the same core features as Evernote without the slop, adds additional nice-to-have features like nesting notebooks, and the syncing is flawless between my devices.
I would highly recommend you skip this buggy app that won’t be able to load a simple text note because it’s trying to AI-generate something you didn’t ask for. Instead, save a couple hundred dollars and go with a more reliable, functional, and quality service.

$275 for a note app?!
Are these people on crack?! $275 to use a note taking app. Pretty audacious for an app that has sync issues amongst other things especially when you need it the most. I think not. This isn’t even bad, it’s comical. We can live without it.
