Evernote

Who would want to use this dinosaur anymore?

This download link is still pointing to 10.30.6 (not 10.31.6)

The app used to be fast and streamlined. Lately it's become bloated and slow. The main window is way too busy and confusing. The app takes forever to start up on a fast M1X MacBook Pro. The premium version with sync is expensive for what it does. However, for me, the web clipper extension makes it worth all the down sides.

Evernote, these days, is quite an amazing app. A few years ago there was a transition in the development of things, but Evernote been back on track for several years now with very quick updates and improvements. I couldn't be more pleased with how it has matured. During the questionable years I tried every alternative. Nothing comes close to the excellence and ease of use of Evernote. Reminds me of Apple's bad years when they lost Steve Jobs. Evernote is back and better than ever.

MU is downloading 10.27.5. 10.28.3 is on the developer's website.

Awful experence. I am long-time user of Evernote, and happy to pay for what I could get elsewhere for free. I got locked out after trying to authenticate my sign-in after an absence of eight months. Evernote sends the authentication code to my old phone number via text message. I no longer have access to this phone number, and Evernote will not permit me to re-authenticate via another means (email, for example). An incredibly frustrating experience to be treated this way by a stovepiped security measure after so many years of use. So goodbye, Evernote. Now I'm using OneNote, which is free.

MacUpdate is downloading version 10.17.8. In order to get 10.18.3, must go to the developer's website.

Import folders for the Mac introduced...finally! Windows users have always had this feature available to them but not Mac users. They have rectified this with the latest release. Well done Evernote devs! Evernote 10 is steadily improving.

Because they have reduced the free service to two devices, I use their app on my iPhone and use the web access on my Mac and PC at work. I actually created an app for the Mac using Fluid, and it works better than the app because it doesn't put an icon in the menu bar that can't be removed. Yech!! So not need to get their app.

Sorry, as a paying Evernote Premium user for many years I'll stick with the older version of Evernote as long as possible due to the lacking features in v10.x and will switch to another service if Evernote doesn't revise their new direction. I don't appreciate it when developpers reduce important features instead of further developing useful new ones – esp. in times of AI which offers so many new opportunities. That's poor, really.

read a-lot of good things. totally disappointed- not possible to create new notes on the mac app. only works partly on the phone. a lot of lagging. disaster

Is it so hard to remember the window size?

Have used it for years. It did everything I needed. Then, slowly, features and capabilities started disappearing. Free accounts are limited to two devices. It uses every opportunity it can find to try and convince me to upgrade to Premium. Got tired of battling it. Now I use Notion (which imports from Evernote), both on MacOS and iOS, and Evernote sits unused. Don't miss it.

Now requires 10.14 Mojave or above

Gee I _hate_ it when so-called “updates” actually remove features! We’ve seen it all before, MS and Apple have done it… grrrr. Evernote 10 now has taken away the possibility of changing the creation date for a note—all to streamline the Mac version with the limited-feature iOS app. ARGHH! My workflow centrally depends on this. They promise they want to bring back the feature, but I won’t hold my breath. Any suggestions for alternatives??

Ebernote's good

I am confused by the large volume of negative reviews as I have used Evernote for several years now. The apps on my iPhone, Google Pixel and iMac are always reliable and the integration with my browsers is solid.

Evernote is not the only solution for cloud based note taking and the only reason that I keep paying for Evernote subscription is their web clip. And with Safari 13 upgrade their only advantage is gone. Apple had announced the upcoming change of Safari extension API since last year and those smart brains at Evernote had 16 months to implement it, but they just failed to do so before Safari 13 lands. From the staff responses on their forum I'd suspect that they just put it on the shelf until recently. And I'm not going to support such a insouciant company any longer.

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?

i use web capture often .. prefer devonthink org style
