Poor syncing

I'm trying this out to see if it's any better than OneNote at syncing between devices. Unfortunately, it's not. I'm out on the road and it won't sync with the notes I took on my home computer, so they are lost to me until I get home.

Excellent Evernote alternative

I have been an Evernote user for many years but the recent huge price increase made it no longer worth the annual subscription. I tried a few alternatives but once I tried UpNote, I knew this was the one for me. Simple and yet powerful. Opens instantly and syncs to all my devices. I don’t miss all the Evernote bloatware! And I love one feature that Evernote doesn’t have - a note can be in multiple notebooks. The only Evernote feature that I miss is the ability to forward email directly into the app, but there are workarounds. All in all, I am very happy with the incredible value of this app!

Amazing App

Amazing app that just do what it’s supposed to. No plugins needed or canvas.

Web clipper beats Evernote by a mile

Thankful to say goodbye to Evernote (and their bloated pricing) forever. UpNote imported my Evernote notebook’s flawlessly. I love how it uses tags for notebooks so one note can be in more than one notebook. And… it’s web clipper just grabs the content (so doesn’t try to
save the design of the page like Evernote). That’s all I want in a web clipper!
