Evernote: AI Notes & Notebook

I miss the days when I could just pull up my notes without navigating a maze of prompts to sign up for something. I will now be taking my notes elsewhere.

I’ve used this notes app for years and now everytime I go use it I get hit with ads. Super annoying do better

Now impossibly slow and with less features. And very intrusive.

In my opinion, they keep adding things that slow the app down that I don’t even need just so they can significantly increase the price. Evernote was great when I started using it years ago and it is terrible now.

The ads are now loud. EVERY TIME YOU TRY AND MAKE A NOTE. Unusable.

Terrible app makes it difficult to download pdf and send to laptop

Ever know has been going downhill rapidly over the last few weeks or months. It’s almost unusable on my phone at this point and it’s so slow and filled with bugs on the laptop that we’re ready to give up and shift to GROK4.7 and shift to using agents to manage the things we previously managed on Evernote and are now having to give up and just consider it our archive I understand you’ve bundled some type of integration with hugging face or something like that, but you need to get your code debug before you go live with it. This is very concerning that your company is letting down it users this way after all these years What is tell me about Evernote having use it for over a decade now this is dedication to being a Bake with respect to communication with his customers which would help in its product development The second thing that stunning over this decade is how bugs are systemic never fixed Certain features which are obvious such as nesting, are never integrated ever, despite valiant effort to get you to listen, but you don’t listen apparently, and I may as well be shouting into an empty dark room Possible, you can admit that these are systemic to your original architecture and you can’t fix them, but it would be nice if you would be more honest and transparent with your loyal users

They have added animated ads for their AI that you cannot x out of and it is loud with music. By the time I wait until I can x out of it, I have forgotten the important thing I needed to add to my note. You used to have to click through a couple of ads, including an "I'm sure" one to get to your note, but I cannot abide this assault on my ears and productivity! I've been wanting to switch to a different app for a while, but didn't want the hassle of copying and pasting all my notes to something new. To quote Arrested Development, today is: "I don't know why, but that's it."

Looks like they’ve finally caught on that their app is a commodity that provides no value. Evernote has gone from barely used to completely unusable due to the constant begging for money they don’t deserve.

I can’t use it because of the endless stream of notifications and feature announcements. Here’s what happens. I have an idea to write down. I open Evernote. I clear 1-5 popups, which destroy the thought in brain -RAM, so then I have no idea what I wanted to write down and I leave. Why use a mind eraser note app? As soon as I can migrate away, I’ll unsubscribe. Ulysses doesn’t do this to me. Ulysses is set up as if it cares to remain useful more than it cares about forcing me to interact with it.

Do not blast me with a noisy video ad after I’ve already declined upgrading multiple times. In fact, you never play a noisy ad like that. You don’t know where I’m at or what I’m doing. Just very bad.

As it says in the title I’m deleting your app. I’ve used it since 2015 but now every time I open the app you force me to watch an ad before I can access my notes in which you want me to pay $25/month or $125/year for a fricking note app. Your app DOES NOT offer that level of service.

Recently the predictive text doesn’t work. I tap it but nothing happens - irritating. And, why doesn’t the update come through in the usual fashion (showing on the App Store icon)? I didn’t realize there was an update until I came here to write this comment. Also not a fan of the recent pricing structure. I’ve made it work for me at a reasonable cost but that meant downgrading my sub. … I like so much about this app but it makes me crazy sometimes that I have no control over lone spacing. For example, when writing/or copying a poem into the app I want the space between lines to be less than the space between stanzas. And there’s no way to reasonably cluster bits of lists together. And lists take up too much space, I want tighter spacing … this must be harder to do than I realize as it seems like such an obvious thing to include in a writing based app … I can dream!

There’s no world in which I should need to watch a video to any time I try to open a note. I should have switched to Apple Notes years ago

Not only has this app turned into one giant self-advertisement, the free version is borderline useless.

This used to be a great app. It’s had an increasing amount of annoying pop-ups over the years, but now plays full screen video ads when you try to access your files. Time to migrate to a different platform.

At one time, I was a power user of this app, but someone over there has gotten greedy and thanks that my many years of loyalty is gonna keep me on this thing paying what they’re now asking for, which is an arm and a leg now – I’m so disappointed at the insane price increase year over year for you to use it like you once did you have to pay almost 3 times as much and we’re talking about $250 now that you have to pay per year to use this app in any sort of usable capacity the free version is a complete joke and it is constantly hounding you and trying to trick you into pain the $250 premium I might as well use notion or my free Notes app that already synced with my laptop when this was $50 a year it was a great deal, when this was $100 a year this was still worth it now it’s $250 that is laughable

I’ve used Evernote for years. At least every other year the price has continued to go up and up. I just use it as a really good note taking app but at $250 a year, I’d rather use pen and paper. I moved over to UpNote. Much less expensive. Does everything I needed Evernote for and there is an easy migration from Evernote to UpNote. I’m sad to go but just can’t justify the price anymore.

Used to be amazing. Since bought by bending spoons, search has become trash, ui design tanked, oversold non-functional “ai search” which didn’t even perform a fraction as well as their search from 2011! Laughable. Been subscriber since 2011; today they kicked me off auto-renewal and firewalled until chose higher plan. Can’t wait to leave them for both personal and our business.

Been with Evernote since the beginning. Been fine. Though, the Last several years I pay for subscription, and then get a notice to upgrade and get kicked out each time I log in. Madness . Stay away

I started using Evernote over a decade ago when it was still a cute young startup app. I created a big database of school and personal notes. Then they changed it into this bloated, overpriced, corporate subscription model. They gradually throttled back all free functionality so that I can now only access my notes on one device. And now… these horrendous audio-visual adds randomly interrupt my note reading. Screw you Evernote for hating your early users so much. Even if I was the type of user who would pay that much for an annual app subscription I wouldn’t choose Evernote based on the terrible user experience they’ve created for those of us who found it and liked it and talked it up to all our friends when it was free.

This was my favorite notes app but the free version is now impossible to use. It shows an ad every time you open it. I would pay a fee for premium but it’s way overpriced so I’m in the process of transferring all of my notes to a different app. Very disappointing since I loved this app.

Used it all the time til new owners created videos that won’t turn off and increasingly expensive. Looking fot good alternative.

This app used to be great but it has since implemented the ever popular standard of throwing ads at you, bugging you to upgrade without letting you get to you notes. The standard notes app on your phone is now better.

So difficult to get your data out. I ultimately never did. Lost it.
