"Really Usefull"
What do you like best about Evernote?

My favorite part of Evernote is how photos taken of documents will be cropped and made easier to read by increasing contrast.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

The only problem I've run into while using Evernote, is storing large files/photos/videos in notes. I end up having to save files to Google Drive rather than keeping them all together with the rest of my notes.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to store all documents & ideas related to a project or subject.

"One of the best apps for storing info"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I like how easy it is to create notes, notebooks, and how I can keep all my information organized. I also like their annotate plugin to highlight notes and save them as pdfs.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Their collaboration tool is not that great. It would be better if the notes shared would be added to one of my notebooks and weren't left on the work chat only. I also don't like that it cannot be protected with a password on the desktop version, but only on the mobile app. It'd be nice if I could protect my information everywhere.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm organizing my to dos and taking notes of new things I learn, like processes to do different tasks in my company.

"Love my experience with Evernote"
What do you like best about Evernote?

The most appealing aspect to Evernote is the simplicity of it while giving off a top notch end result. I use this for all of my note taking, and it helps me locate everything that I need and easily go through notes from different classes to meetings without having to worry about so many different papers or files.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I do think it takes a few tries to understand the process easily, but once you do its a breeze.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

This app has definitely made me more organized and has honestly made me more inclined to take notes.

"My very favorite notebook since 2012"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I have been using Evernote since 2012 and this green elephant logo has become a real quality sign. From the very beginning the service was amazingly simple and intuitive. Creating notes and combining them into notebooks and themes have been very easy and so convenient. The layout is great. I love it!

What do you dislike about Evernote?

1.The web version has become very heavy and slow after they changed the layout. It takes some time to open the main page and load notes. Sometimes you need to wait or reload the page several times to open the needed note. 2. Monthly limits for free accounts has become too 'limited'. 60 MB of monthly uploads is not enough, of course, so you will need to upgrade it to Plus or Premium if you want more. I used to use an offline desktop Windows and mobile versions until they stopped working and requested for upgrade, so I had to switch to One Note offline.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

You can have EVERYTHING on Evernote, literally, everything. You can have your whole life there: contacts, web clippings, memory notes, task management, personal journal, project management. And it`s beautiful in its simplicity and functionality.

"Excellent for Taking Notes!"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I like to keep notes on all the restaurants we eat at, recipes, work notes, etc. I use it to take photos to incorporate into my notes as well, which is really handy. I love the search feature for business cards, etc.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

That I can only have it on two devices for free :) Wish it were 3 still!

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping track of my notes at conferences, seminars, etc. all in one place, rather than having different notes and pieces of paper everywhere. So much easier this way! Great to keep track of business cards. Quick and easy searches.

"Great tool for note taking and organizing"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I really like how accessible it is from my mobile devices. Unlike other apps, there are more enhanced features like adding snapshots which really comes in handy for me. I also really like how I can categorize my notes.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

One major limitation is being able to export notes, at least in the format I need. Although I haven't explored all the features as I would want. I also think its not as easy to collaborate as it is with other platforms.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Evernote helps me capture notes on the fly and helps me organize records of my notes.

"Evernote review"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote's ability to be used across multiple platforms - desktop, Ipad, and my Android phone, has made this app my go-to note-keeping, list making app.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I recently found that I have to upgrade to the paid version of the app in order to use it on more than 2 separate devices

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

One benefit is the unique feature, that every time you open a new note, it time and location-stamps where you are. this was very useful during a morning staff meeting when I had to go straight to a meeting from commuting, and only had my phone to take notes on.

It is the perfect second brain to store any information I will need later. The perfect digital file cabinet.

I cannot think of anything that I would want improved from the purpose I use it for.

"List-making made easy"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote is for the professional list-maker, the person who can't stand to forget things but always seems to anyway. It's for the person who needs to take quick notes in a meeting, who needs to jot down a short grocery list, who wants to keep track of house cleaning tasks or all of the kids' soccer games in one location. The beauty of Evernote is that it's searchable and taggable which makes it so easy to pull up anything and everything you've written down and promised yourself you wouldn't forget until you transferred it to your calendar.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Honestly, sometimes i forget to use it because it's an app. I sometimes still dig around in my purse attempting to find a scratch piece of paper instead of using the magnificent tool that my phone is.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Streamlining everything! It is so easy to create task flows and make sure that employees stay on task because they always have everything they need at their fingertips, either on their computer desktop or on their phone.

"A Must-Use Software for Business and Personal Use"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I love the integration Evernote uses with other apps. I can link it with the web and Outlook. I can also sync it with fitness apps such as Misfit to track my activity and sleep patterns. It is searchable by text, so I never have to worry about remembering what a document is called. I also love that I can literally create checklists and insert check boxes.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I don't have any major dislikes about Evernote. I would use it more often for personal use if it had an integration with Pinterest. I also feel like there is a lot to Evernote that I'm not familiar with because there is just so many things it can do. I'm not completely familiar with all of its functions, and I don't feel like I will be unless I have a lot of down time to just play on it.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Evernote, I'm able to share things (documents, files, etc.) with coworkers fairly simply, which I wasn't able to do before without emailing. A benefit I've realized is the work chat function. I can quickly and easily chat with coworkers and share things with them through the chat, which is something our office didn't have before Evernote.

"Uneasy to remember & Impossible to forget"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I have a hyperactive entrepreneurial type of mind and I am also a "recovering" accountant. I am currently creating a Communiication that will put homeowners/buyers and wannabe homeowners/buyers in charge of their transaction fees concerning a Real Estate transaction -- especially Real Estate Commissions! EVERNOTE allows me to input any date that I feel is now or might be critical to this process including huge system downloads that I no longer need to keep hard copies of >>> "I love you man"

What do you dislike about Evernote?

It is sometimes difficult to figure out how to use some of the many, many, many features. Like taking actual pictures of stuff --- I am a long time droid and microsoft user (color that Google).

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Locating stuff that I have saved that used to be in profuse piles kind of all over the house OR misfiled in a filing cabinet. Ever find a medical document that you lost filed in tax records that are scheduled to be thrown out? Great for retaining tax records also.

"A notebook for every occasion"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote's best feature is how you can share information from the same account on multiple devices. For example, if I wished to save a link from my phone to later check out on my laptop I can just easily save the link as a note on my evernote account and later access it from any other device. Not only does it allow multiple device accessing, but also has a very nice UI for storing images inside the note. Another incredible feature is how you can tag your notes and later search by tag. This is specially useful when you have multiple notebooks dedicated for different purposes but similar tags spread across the notebooks.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I am sad to see that the limit of multiple devices connected to the same account using the free featured has been reduce. However. this is one feature that is worth paying for if you have more than 2 devices. The inability to properly edit the tables is sometimes bothersome since the final UI of editing system is not suited for this.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Evernote has allowed to to speed up my workflow by saving information on my notebook and being able to access it from multiple devices.
