Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at anytime, from anywhere.

• Create notes containing text and audio
• Find printed and handwritten text within images
• Clip application and web content directly into Evernote
• Synchronize with the Evernote Service and access all notes, even ones taken using other clients

Note: while Evernote is listed as free, there are subscription pricing plans that can be viewed here.

Version 7.5:

Improvements:

• Cleaned up the More Options menu ("…") so it’s easier to find the actions you use most
• To make upgrading effortless, developer added a button to the toolbar. But you can always remove it if you’d prefer
• Changed appearance, tweaked the background colors to match

Fixes:

• Fixed a problem where you wouldn’t see a note snippet if the note hadn’t synced properly
• If you had more than one line of text highlighted when you tried to remove a link, all the links in the note would disappear
• Now and then, loading web views would cause a crash. But it was fixed.
• Occasionally, dragging a note from a space to the trash folder would cause the app to crash, but that’s no more.
• Sometimes, annotating a PDF would cause a crash, which was a big fail
• The app would sometimes crash when checking for updates. Since updates are healthy, we put a stop to that
• Pasting into a numbered or bulleted list would remove the list text between any images This was less than ideal, but on the bright side
• The app was forgetting your Shared with Me column widths after you closed it, which is probably not what you expected
• Shared notebooks weren’t showing up in your Shared with Me list. And notebooks deserve love too
• Triple-clicking one line of copy pasted in front of text on another line would break the list. But that’s a thing of the past
• If you added Japanese characters to a bulleted list, the formatting would look weird, which was unfortunate
• If you had 2-byte characters in a table (for example, Chinese or Japanese characters), adding a bullet point would break the table. And only WWF wrestlers should be allowed to break tables
• Underlining couldn’t be removed from text in a table, which wasn’t helpful
• Turning bold text off then pasting something into a list would turn bold back on
• If you pasted bulleted lists separated by paragraphs from Word into Evernote, the gaps would disappear
• Pasting data from Excel into Evernote needed a table upgrade, but there was no way for you to do it
• Pasting text into Evernote from a coding text editor messed up the formatting, but it should be smooth sailing now
• Occasionally, changes you made to a note, including moving it to a different notebook, wouldn’t sync. Things should be back to normal now though

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.
