Evernote7.14

Doesn't work with Safari 13. Really, they didn't know this was coming for a year? This is the only one of my apps that wasn't updated. The only possible reason is lack of interest on the dev's part, or lack of concern for users. Who prefers DevonThink? Who prefers Apple Notes? Does anyone prefer OneNote? Any other recommendations for switching?

@Scott-C-H That's interesting. Have you considered EagleFiler, then? It stores everything in regular Finder folders …

Be cautious. Upgrading to this version broke Evernote bringing up a nonsensical dialog box. I had to completely pull EVERYTHING off the computer and start over. Might be wise to save the older version aside in case you experience the same difficulty. This is a rarity, but it was very inconvenient.

Evernote 7.0.1 still crashing on macOS 10.13.3 when trying to quit.

Don't know about you folks, but this 7.0 update / upgrade crashes reliably upon saving or quitting. MacOS 10.13.3 on 6,1 MacPro

I used to love Evernote. Now I loathe it. The Mac app has all kinds of weird bugs that irritate the heck out of me, and the WebClipper is often dog-slow. It's not pleasant to use at all. Besides that, this type of apps often keeps your data in a roach motel, and Evernote is not an exception here. And don't even get me started on how they have Import/Export feature under the File menu. There is no guarantee they will always work. Evernote's Export feature choked on me many times when I tried to export 2,000+ entries in it. The usual "open a support ticket" routine ensues, and you are bound to waste the next few days waiting in line. I freed myself of all of that by establishing my workflow outside Evernote: Markdown text files and folders. I just use whatever the best tool available at the moment to edit my data in open format. I no longer need to spend time tinkering and worrying about what the future might hold for Evernote. I don't even need to worry about figuring out a way to import my data into another roach motel bucket app. These apps all come and go, so you are better off keeping all your data in open format as much as possible. You might think that the file and folder method is clumsy, but I haven't missed Evernote at all. I can keep tags inside a text file or in file names, and Spotlight can pick them up. For OCR, I just use Scanner Pro on my iPhone since that's where I capture images anyway. For handwriting OCR, I just use Apple Notes, but it's rare that I absolutely need it. Sure, my method isn't elegant, and it lacks some conveniences Evernote affords. But it works everywhere where the OS has a basic search function, and I can use any apps I like to work with my data. Rock-solid predictability and reliability is more important than some non-essential conveniences Evernote might provide.

I've been a Premium user for three years now. During that time, I tried other solutions, but I kept coming back to Evernote because it is uniquely useful. Competitor tools treat Evernote as a note-taking tool and try to beat it at that. The problem with such comparison is that Evernote has long time evolved away from being just a note-taking tool. It has become a knowledge sharing ecosystem, a type of universal file system where you can mix multiple media types and store them in a single entry. A new entry can record audio, scan in pictures, and record formatted text all at the same time in one place. You can organize all related information for various scenarios (meetings, classes, etc.) in one entry, and it becomes available on all of my devices. Evernote's web clipper is incredibly useful. I have not found any other alternatives that are as robust and feature-rich as Evernote's clipper. I use it all the time to create a personal archive of various topics. It is also available everywhere; switch to another device, install a fresh copy of Evernote, and you have your entire digital world synced for you in a matter of seconds, and ready for you to start working. It's incredibly useful. Context matters, too. Sure, you can sync a pile of files via iCloud or Dropbox, but raw data without the context is just, well … raw data. It is the context that turns data into knowledge, and Evernote helps me establish a web of context among the data I collect in it. It is why I once tried to manage everything in a pile of plain text files and miserably failed. And so many apps and services can connect to Evernote's APIs, so it can act as a hub of every knowledge I need to maintain. Strongly recommended.

disappointed

Use it all the time. Syncs with my iPhone, iPad, Mac and Windows. What more could you ask for? Oh I know, you can also share Notebooks with others. This is great.

One of the most moronic horrible User Experience applications out there. One of the many applications out there that I hate most. First, it never shows up as "installed" in the app store even though I installed it 3 times already via the App Store. Updates never show up under updates in the Ap Store. Even when I force the re-download via the App Store the update which is released days and days ago never shows up as an update in the App Store. This has to be the idiot developers who release this piece of junk. Even if I download a newer version manually via Macupdate, let's say "6.1" and I have a 6.0.6 in the Applications folder, it reports that I have a "NEWER!" application already in the folder. Versioning, releases, design, updates, UX, all around total piece of junk. Companies like this should go out of business and do it fast.

Still needs Courier Prime and San Francisco Display fonts for writers who use this service. Oh, it is still too expensive to upgrade to Premium for many, many folk. I have to eventually copy everything that is up on my Evernote account in the sky to Devon Pro to have a local copy and I wonder if this app will ever allow better contact with apps such as Devon Pro and Scrivener.

What's downloading at the moment from the MacUpdate link is Evernote v6.0.1. Huh? If you want the latest version of Evernote, THIS is the link: https://evernote.com/download/

Is this app malware? Hard to say for sure, but something is seriously janky with this program. Since I installed it my monthly internet usage went up, and for me that's a problem (my ISP caps my monthly usage and if I go over it costs me big time). iStat indicated that something on my MBP was sucking down 70kb/sec (average) and uploading 20kb/sec, even with no apps running. I thought for sure I'd been infected by some malware/virus. Turns out it's Evernote. What gives with that?

It works well, but .... In older systems that do not support transparency, now it looks awful. Miniature icons and almost invisible dividing lines. One big flat white surface. What kind is that? It is not convenient.

Changing the GUI for change's sake. Wow, the title text now huge and of course non-configurable. Ironically, now that Yosemite supports Dark Mode, they remove all of the dark backgrounds in the app so it now stands out like a sore thumb when running it. Just shake my head, thumbs down on this "update".

Another new version. A v 6 iteration of a program. And still a poor set of table features, something that allows the user to organize data better. You cannot select rows. You cannot select column. You cannot set defaults. There is very little user control over data in tables. I do like the cross platform and cross device syncing ability which is why I started using Evernote. You would think that by version 6 of a product that control over user data would be more sophisticated. And I still experience delays and slowdowns while typing a note. I have an incredible fast iMac (3.5 GHz i7, 24 GB RAM, 3T Fusion Drive) and yet I will type a character and there will often be a pause before it displays on the screen. I press return/enter and another pause. I will be typing and it stops and the dreaded Mac spinning beachball displays. I check and there is no sync operation occurring so it has to be an internal coding issue. No other program I run has delays, pauses or spinning beachballs. Please Evernote Corporation, hold off on bloating the program with extra features and spend some time improving the performance and feature capabilities which are already available.

I've been a premium Evernote subscriber for going on three years. But no more. Every new update seems to bring some ridiculous bloatware features that are obviously aimed at trying to please their investors. I want a fast, easy, note application that syncs across my devices. I don't want a marketplace to buy shirts or bags. I don't want connections to LinkedIn. I don't want crap added to the sidebar without asking me. I don't want a chat button in the toolbar which can't be removed. A once great tool which seems to be losing its focus and therefore its appeal.

I think Evernote is the most hyped and overrated app of current time. The interface does not help in decluttering your data or notes. The worst thing is, everything is 'online'. Whilst I have a local copy of my Evernote notebooks, the Evernote Safari plugin does not talk with the local copy but only with the online account. That way, the free 60 MB data allowance per month will be gone very fast. Also, the Safari plugin needs to be logged in like a website, so if you've deleted your history you have to log in again: this could be avoided by using the local copy. The good thing about Evernote: I like their logo, I like elephants!

Evernote is amazing! I use it daily to keep track of tasks and collaborate with others. This is one of the most useful apps for organizing your life. Highly recommended!

Every time I see a review of Evernote, I click on the icon in my menu bar and try again. Failure! Question: Am I supposed to be able to type notes in Evernote by using my keyboard? I can't. Should I be able to? I'm looking for an app that I can install in my menu bar that will enable me to both type notes AND paste things that I have copied. In my search for such an app, I've downloaded at least half-a-dozen apps, but none of them will do both jobs. Well, I take that back. I can do that with STICKIES or TextEdit, but they're too slow for me.

I love Evernote. In fact, after years of using this wonderful app, I became a Premium user. However, the inability to customize some of the keyboard shortcuts set by Evernote's team is inconsiderate and counterproductive. For instance, I don't need Evernote's "note sharing" shortcut 'CMD-FORWARD SLASH'. I use that specific shortcut to show and hide my clipboard manager. I emailed Evernote's support about the problem, and was surprised to receive a laconic response stating that some keyboard shortcuts cannot be edited. Evernote staff, please allow your users the freedom of choice to set their own keyboard shortcuts.

This is the third time this year when I do an Evernote update for my iPad through my iPad that a porn file has suddenly appeared. It's like it's imbedded in the update file. So then of course it syncs with all my devices and it's on everything. The first time it happened Evernote tried to blame it on me, said it must be some lack of security or miss doing on my end. I can assure you, that is NOT the case. Has anyone else had this same experience?

update from 5.2 to 5.4 seems to have gone well (skipped 5.3 out of concerns). impressed with the new presentation mode!

Evernote is the saddest piece of software I haven't thrown in the trash. Riddled with heinous bugs, update after update, crashes, occasional data loss... all wrapped in a weird non-standard UI where even simple things like popup menus don't work the same as normal Mac apps. Nevertheless the underlying concept of a cloud-sync'd database available from Mac, phone, tablet, PC... there is nothing else that competes with it. I pay for it, I use it literally every day... and I hate it's crappy buggy guts.

Still having the problem that started with the previous update -- Evernote launches, but is totally unusable. All I get is the spinning BBOD, and must eventually force quit the app. Running the latest version of Mountain Lion on an "ancient" Core 2 Duo MBP.

Same with Evernote 5.1.4 under ML 10.8.4... SBBoD upon launch. Their tech support, with whom I've been in touch, seem to be unable to isolate my problem. So for now, bye-bye Evernote. Bye-bye Skitch.

Even though I understand the pressing concerns of the American Memorial long weekend, the demonstrated incapacity of the latest release suggests a calculated disregard for the Macintosh client base.

Not a crash, but upon launch Evernote goes off into a world of its own, accompanied by the Spinning Beach-Ball of Death, and never returns to the real world.

i love evernote but i wish sharing notes was quicker, for example a button to download document to desktop. and that spotlight indexing was working better. i am very annoyed by the word search feature that turns the whole document grey except the term that is searched for. it makes it very difficult to read the text surrounding the term that is searched for.

Does anyone know if there is, or was, an older PPC compatible version of Evernote?

Crashes repeatedly since installed. Tried (almost) everything, nothing works. Mac OS X 10.6.8, MBP intel core duo 2.16

Evernote note-sharing service says hackers stole some user data http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/03/net-us-hacking-evernote-idUSBRE92200X20130303

BBahh... I'm trying and trying to love it more, worried as I am that Shovebox will be discontinued or stop to work. I know, I know, Evernote CAN do more, but for all what Shovebox can already do, it makes it so much more 'user UNfriendly', complicate, obscure, not intuitive and... slow! The 'web clipper' is discouragingly near unusable (I mean, you will do anything else to reach the same result!) and... BY YEARS I give up after some weeks of sincere good will, then I give it another try, another chance... but no, I'm so sorry to have to tell that it's the kind of product that I CAN'T love! (...and I LOVE to fall in love with 'gems'!!)

So for those of us who were using the MAS version, any tips on migrating to the non-MAS one? As others noted, it won't just pick up the library automatically, and syncing from the server won't preserve local notebooks. I used to like that the App Store freed me from watching for and downloading updates, but this is now three updates in a row that haven't shown up at all there!

Warning: Upgrade to 5.0.1 seems to have removed Spotlights ability to index and find Evernote documents. Is anybody else experiencing this?

It is SO frustrating when these companies announce a software update via MacUpdate, you download and install it over your old version of the app, and then it doesn't work properly (=deletes your old settings) and then you suddenly remember that you had originally installed the app via the App Store and it should have been updated from there, but it was not yet available there, so you assumed you had to update it manually. :-(
