My god, stop spamming me with full page ads to upgrade. Every single time. It’s extremely ineffective and I will never do it. Analyze your marketing strategy and make it actually worth upgrading instead of being annoying. Otherwise I like the app and functionality for more permanent long term notes vs. Google keep or others. But if this app gets worse I’ll def consider switching if the upgrade ads keep getting worse and interrupting my thought process. App has also gotten slower over time.
It was a great app, but it’s been duplicating my notes. I don’t use the app all that much, and paying $50 a YEAR is asking way too much. I’ve used Evernote for 13 years, so that would be $650 for something I use a few times a year! Lately, the constant notices to upgrade have gotten irritating with their frequency. Forget it! Even at their half price sale, it’s not worth paying every year. I’m leaving Evernote. Too bad they don’t have a one time price for people who don’t use it much.
Used to be good but HATE it now. Evenote is automatically making duplicate copies of the same note while I’m typing. I end up with 10 copies of the same note!🤬 I have used this app for years and didn’t have problems until I switched to windows 11. According to forums many people have the same problem which hasn’t yet been solved. It is a problem with synchronizing notes between different devices. I can’t reach customer support! So frustrating!
I’ve used Evernote for 5 years, and it’s been absolutely wonderful. The problem is that recently I switched phones and now it seems to be stuck years back. The most recent note available is from April of 2020. I’m missing around 200 notes. I’m deeply concerned as I use Evernote for personal writing and projects that are very important to me. I’ve tried restarting my device, uninstalling and reinstalling and logging out. Update: It fixed itself suddenly minutes after I posted this? Not sure how.
It’s a pretty decent note taking app. there are a couple things I don’t like about it, though. I’ve had a couple times where I’ve deleted the text of a note on accident, and the undo button doesn’t actually do anything for me in bringing it back. It’s a little bit heavy in terms of ads. trying to get you to sign up for premium, but you can get the basic functionality of a note taking app without paying for premium. searching works okay. Sometime typing and highlighting are treated weird.
I have been using Evernote for 5ish years. I was very happy with it! I use it everyday for work and personal tasks. I switched phones over the weekend and so I have an updated app now and now I am experiencing the duplicating notes issue. That’s why I came to read reviews – to see if it was just me! (When I edit a note, which I do multiple times a day for work, Evernote makes a duplicate of that note) I am hoping they fix this problem soon. What a pain it would be to switch everything over.
The app keeps getting worse. I’ve been using it for many years and lately it just keeps getting slower and buggier. Notes are slow to load, navigation between the notes is slow, things are consistently not getting saved and duplicate notes are being created. I appreciate being able to use something like this for free, but it’s getting to the point where I’m looking to switch to something else.
I’ve been using Evernote for many years but lately, the app has been very buggy and increasingly slow. The keyboard always pops up when I’m trying to use the checklist and blocks me from using it as checklist; editing text frequently glitches out and types over what’s already there, eliminating parts of what has already been typed; and they push so many ads to “upgrade to pro” that it not only interrupts the ability to use the functions of the app, but it straight up crashes a lot of the time.
the ads and promotions are absolutely infuriating. a notes app is where I go to write down my thoughts, and to have popups in my personal space like that felt like a deep violation. even when i purchased the paid subscription briefly, there were still more ads advertising the more expensive version. the features of the app are nice, but not so revolutionary as to warrant the annoyance. I would simply pay once for a good and hassle-free app, but the way this model works is impossible to use.
I’ve had Evernote for years and used to love it. I got a new phone last month and now have the latest version of the app, and it’s so slow! Takes ages for each note to load or save, and when I edit something on desktop (which works fine), my phone takes forever to recognize it. Now I’m always anxious that my phone’s notes didn’t save or got duplicated. Ads I can live with, but I need a note app that won’t stress me out, and this is no longer it.
Been using Evernote for years. I’m a pretty simple person with simple notes, and I’m poor, so I have the free version and it was fine till around a year or so ago. Now, this app sucks, and if I didn’t have years worth of notes I would switch without hesitation. I am constantly plagued with bugs and annoyances – duplicating notes, syncing issues, pop-ups asking me to upgrade (why would I upgrade when the experience is so terrible?), and more. It’s always a chore to use this app now.
I have been using Evernote for almost 6 years. It helped to organize my ideas, and I like the option to save sound bytes & images. For the past few years I’ve been let down. Their loading time has gotten slower and is glitching so much that I’m afraid that it will not save my work. I can no longer sign in on 2 devices, work offline, or emulate an older version of the app layout that I prefer without paying monthly. I can’t deal with it anymore, I will have to relocate my work to another site.
*Update (12.2.22)* I uninstalled & reinstalled the app. Now the app opens..but all my attachments(voice memos, documents, basically anything I attached) won’t open or play. Years worth of stuff gone. This has been my go-to app for years, but it seems like with every update, the app just starts to have issues. I haven’t been able to get into the app all day today, it keeps closing out on me as soon as I try to start it. Very frustrating…especially when I have so many notes that I can’t get to.
I have been using and loving Evernote for several years now. Recently however, I am having problems with notes I’ve entered on my phone app and then wanting to view on my tablet. It’s now becoming almost unusable and a waist of time to enter on one device and then to see the note on another device. I don’t think they are syncing correctly. I’m starting to hate this program.
Yuck. Slow to open spinning as it’s updating some database. Cluttered home screen. What happened to the days when I could just open it and take notes without wading through feature bloat I can’t turn off? I wish there was a lite version of this monstrosity. Edit: To further keep me away from my notes, it likes to pop up statistics on my usage when I start the app. Can’t find a way to turn that off. Looking for a better option. Edit: The pop-ups. Ouch. Three in two minutes.
I’ve been using the app for years and years, it’s usually very good. This year, however, my updates to notes usually create brand new duplicate notes. I have to double check both versions before deleting one each instance. I really like the overall organization and layout of things, so I haven’t switched to another app. But the duplicate notes are annoying.
UPDATE: Thankfully, the jumping cursor problem has been resolved, so I am able to use Evernote for many of my tasks again. Recently, I have noticed that there are usually several versions of a note that keep showing up. I used to love Evernote. After a recent update, I cannot edit my notes without the cursor constantly jumping to the end of the next word. This is so frustrating! Please fix this! I am running Android on a Moto G Power phone, and everything else on the phone is working great.
I’ve used Evernote for probably 10 years now and I love the desktop version but hate this app. It’s not as functional and slow to register changes made in the app (for example, when I tagged a bunch of notes, I wasn’t able to search for them on the app until I synced my desktop again). The app also makes it difficult to tell if you have a subscription and since I’ve canceled my subscription, I’ve been bombarded with pop-ups trying to convince me to resubscribe. Looking for an alternative now.
I’m a list person. This app is my absolute favorite to keep me organized and to have a one-stop place to store ideas, quotes, project management tasks, grocery lists, to-do, important date reminders, and appointments. I don’t know what I’d do without it and the multi-function options it gives me to track all the things I use it for!!
The app duplicates notes, creating multiple conflicting versions even though I’m only editing them on one device. (You can imagine how this blows up the monthly storage used.) I searched this issue on the web, and it has been going on for several years on multiple devices, not just Android. Seems like plenty of time for Evernote to get it right!
Update: the app keeps crashing and as a result will duplicate a note that I recently changed. This is incredibly annoying. The other day I noticed I had three copies of the same note with different additions to it. I use this to create to do lists and to get lists – if it keeps doing this I will miss things that I needed because it is on the duplicate I didn’t notice. If this isn’t fixed soon I will have to start looking for a new app and I’ve been using Evernote for years!! Please fix soon!
As of today, Evernote just stopped working! Will not open at all. Just the splash screen for a couple of seconds, goes away and then a message box saying it is not responding… Never had a single issue before.. Sent a crash report. Tried all the usual fixes (force close, restart phone, reinstall) with no luck. Hundreds of my notes and writings in there! Very upset.
The Evernote app for Android now will not save my notes at all even though I keep hitting the green arrow at the top left corner of the screen. Sometimes when I edit a note and try to save it, the updated notes disappear before my eyes. At other times, the app makes a duplicate copy of the note for no apparent reason. The Android app for Evernote has become unusable. All of the bad reviews show that this is a big problem for many people.
Android’s swipe left from edge to go back can’t be used because it focuses back on the note at the end of my swipe. So I get stuck on the note. Maybe there’s a way to lock all actions for 1 second after ‘back’ is triggered? UI is also arguably worse. Way too bulky “above the fold” and hard to get to where I want to go. I prefer a compact list of note titles, without any previews/snippets. Maybe add an option for view preferences like reddit.
The app itself functions fine. The ability to access it on different devices is nice. The incessant ads for premium are why I’m switching apps and uninstalling. The number of times I’ve opened the app with a thought only for it to fly away the second I have to dismiss their stupid desperate attempts to get money is beyond counting. I’m switching to turtl, it’s more secure anyway.
Professional Account User: Evernote really helps me stay organized. I have to keep up with about 30 different inboxes at work with lots of tasks along with lengthy email chains and various attachments that need to be tracked and saved. I also have several calendars that are constantly being updated, task lists galore, and Evernote organizes everything with the click of a button and syncs it to all my devices within seconds. It has saved me months of individual archiving and uploading!
I have been experiencing similar issues with the app in recent months. I too have the duplicating notes etc. but most annoying issue Is the failure to cut/copy text from a note and paste it elsewhere. When selecting either cut or copy the text is removed from the note but doesn’t copy to the clipboard. It doesn’t happen all the time but certainly >70%. I am writing today because I lost important information that was copied but instead was cut and not copied to clipboard, note updated lost info.
(Edited 12/12/2022) I’ve been using Evernote for years. Love the PC version. The old Android app was fine but after last major update things started to get really awful. The most disappointing change was that it no longer allow me to sync notes manually. Sometimes the app could’t save notes, and sometimes it created several conflicting notes while I was working on one. Today when I opened the app it couldn’t show anything on the homepage, only a syncing circle spinning…
Despite a few glitches, I used Evernote for many years. However when I lost the text in a note and it synced before I could hit the undo button, I lost irreplaceable information. On iOS apparently I could have shaken the phone but Heaven forbid be on Android and you’re just screwed unless you pay for their premium package to be able to view note history. They’ll keep all your deleted notes for years though!
Been an Evernote fan for years. Currently running into a persistent issue that I can’t ignore anymore. Half the time when I try to exit a note with the “check” icon, it takes FOREVER to save (especially at night). Spamming the button sometimes causes a duplicate note to show up that ignores my edits. Really frustrating.
Useful tool. Investing in it long-term is questionable as it’s progressively getting worse. What’s most annoying is the search function doesn’t work. App will regularly not find notes but the notes are there when you scroll the list manually. They wanted to make search within attachments a paid feature and in doing so seems they broke the entire function. How can you trust a note taking app when you can’t find notes you saved previously?
Used to be great, but buggy and spammy now. I mainly use Evernote for shopping lists and other checklists- for the past several months I’ve had issues with items randomly disappearing off my lists as soon as I add them. They also push the paid version much harder now, which is obnoxious- every time you open the app is excessive. In-app ads are fine but the full-screen ads you have to confirm before it will let you close are annoying.
Good app with few inconveniences but the ones present are significant. Evernote constantly makes duplicates and even duplicates of duplicates. Some have saved past things but not new, some have saved new things but not past, so trying to figure out which to keep and how to edit is a nightmare with no ability to compare or fuse. There also needs to be a widget to open a single note like the Samsung Notes app, as the widget for recent notes is inconveniently too large and can’t be shrunk below 3×2
Constantly struggles to sync my notes across Mac and phone and it will make duplicate notes with different information saved in each note, so I have to then spend time cross-checking and making sure I don’t delete the wrong note and that everything I wrote is in the one I save. The problem is especially bad with the scratch pad – I write something on the scratch pad on one and it won’t sync to the other device, even after restarting both apps and trying to prompt it to recognise the changes.
I have used Evernote for over 10 years now and have loved it up until recently. Now it just edits notes without pushing edit. I save recipes from years ago on Evernote and they have recently gotten ruined. Plus, my grocery list erased things and added words by voice. I had to screenshot my list and use that instead of the actual app. Please go back to the way it used to be where you had to press edit to change the note. And take the edit button away from where you hold your phone.
Every time you paste something into a note, and sometimes even randomly, an ad will pop up begging you to pay for pro. “Enable document search” etc. It’s annoying and has been happening so frequently the app is nigh unusable. However, the app serves its purpose and is the only free note app I can use on both my phone and my computer.
Mobile app will not sync, uninstall reinstall resets it to mid 2021. After several days I finally got an updated sync and then it stopped again. It has now been more than a day with no updates to my mobile platform. Before you go there, yes, modern Samsung phone, up to date and the app is BRAND NEW because I keep uninstalling and reinstalling, but, still no regular sync and even selecting the manual sync in the settings drop down accomplishes NOTHING. What is the point – other apps work!
Been using Evernote for years. It won’t start today on my Android device. Really problematic as it has all my lists. What happened last week with the update? Nov.22 update. Evernote provided a response and I am now back up and running. Apparently something related to the passcode on Androids. Good support! Changing to 4 stars.
Great app. I’ve been using it to write for years. The sync option between the app and computer used to be better, because now it often messes up, which makes me hesitant to try the paid version. If that were fixed, this would be better than many apps I’ve tried for writing.
Pros: It works. Cons: Version conflict resolution does not exist. Text formatting function sucks. Newer versions often worse then older ones. For example, old version back to 2020 worked with text notes flawlessly. However, starting with 2021 update the app cannot handle plaint text note larger then 10 Kbytes and keeps freezing. The app keeps quitting from note Edit mode randomly which is expressly annoying. Premium price is ridiculously high. To sum up, still looks and acts as beta product
