DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! It USED to to be wonderful but not anymore. If I could give this app less than 1 start I would! So frustrated they have changed. Pop ups, wanting to charge me for what used to be free. No longer add notes, half of what I had doesn't work anymore. I'm moving my notes over to another app, which will take days to do. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!

The free version of this app used to great - the features I needed and easy to use. However, the recent change to constantly push for upgrading to a paid tier is extremely off-putting because it severely impacts my productivity when using this app. I would not mind paying a modest amount for usage, however, the paid version is much too expensive for the very few features I need in a note taking app.

This used to be like an extention of me, Evernote is on every device I own. However, with the recent INSANE price increase, and the consistent (yet undesired and not needed at all) changes to the interface, what was once a familiar part of my every day life, gets increasingly annoying, expensive, and foreign. I get it, you want to change with the times, but at least give an obvious path to an old familiar interface, and don't have some ridiculous price increase for the exact same service.

Many people have been using this app for over 10 years to store important notes. All of a sudden they changed everything and now you can only create 50 notes unless you pay for a subscription. After 10+ years I have over 200 notes and I suddenly can't create any more for free. There should be a better transition other than cutting everyone off cold turkey. And there are several pop up messages trying to get you to pay. I can't access my notes on this app without clicking through several pop ups

The new interface introduced April '24 is awful. I used to be able to search other notes when in a related note. Now I have to click all the way back to the home page (there's no single click to get there), losing my current note to find another. To make things worse, they took away the recently edited notes as well. It's impossible to work with two notes anymore. Add to this that recently when opening a note, it sometimes spins and spins. Evernote, once a great app, has lost its way.

Really liked it at first but too many recent changes, all bad. Retroactively changed what free customers can do adding new limits to number of devices etc. Constant ads to get you to upgrade, the reason for the limits. Saved photos corrupted and lost over time apparently due to various "updates." Periods of time when I couldn't access my notes at all, credentials had to be reset. It has taken some time to save what was left but will be deleting Evernote as soon as I close this review.

Evernote has made it impossible to sign in to my account. After inputting my email & password, it asks me to check my email for a verification code, which I do. However, every time I do so, the Evernote sign-in screen completely resets to the initial blank login page and I have to start the process over again, only to have to go through the same verification & Evernote resetting of the login screen in an endless loop.

HORRIBLE. I'm not kidding when I say this is the absolute worst note app on the app store. I'd rather use literally anything else. The amount of pop ups you get when you open the app to try and get to your notes is insane unless you pay a ridiculous amount of money for a subscription... To take notes... There's so many free note apps out there that are so much better than Evernote. Evernote didn't use to be this bad but ever since they started pushing subscriptions, it's become unusable.

This app has improved greatly since its terrible state after the rewrite. It now feels professional & useable again, instead of being a constant battle, & the recent UI improvements are a plus. Kudos to dev for this commendable rescue from whatever that was before. Changing 1 star to 4, & cautiously recommending again. Please add a setting to Android web clipping function to allow the option to default to "simplified" rather than web clip format, so we don't have to manually "simplify" each one.

I've been using this app since 2012 for free with the option to upgrade to a paid plan for extra features. I have thousands of notes. All of a sudden, I open the app to see that with the new update, theres a "50 note cap for my current plan". They've now gone from constantly trying to get me to upgrade to trying 2 force me into upgrading into a paid subscription. Evernote, you're not the only note taking app that exists. I've put many onto this app. Unless this changes, you've lost a user.

New review for changes to app in 2024. Some formating features are easier but it doesn't make up for the UI problems. If I leave the app with a note open for even only 5 minutes, the App closes the most recent note and forces me to make extra clicks to find the note. More clicks to find the old home page which is called widgets now. Many problems with changes to Windows broswer version. Too many to enumerate here. Disappointed. Premium version - long time subscriber.

I used this app all the time because it had all the features that I wanted. Multi-Device sync, home screen widget, browser access, organizational tools. It has steadily gone downhill since they introduced AI. Before I found utility with the AI they already wanted to charge me more. And now the app is consistently broken, bad implementation of the new features. Went from fast and easy, to impossible to use. Very sad. Had to switch apps which illuminated another flaw. Data Format incompatibility

I have used this app for at least 8 years. It was great until the new update. I used it because I could instantly connect with my notes. The shortcut option does not make it easier to use. It just places little gold stars next to the title. Under a list of most recent notes that were opened. I may be experiencing a moment of not accepting change, but when it's not broken, why fix it?

The new layout is awful. Everything used to be so streamlined. All of my recently accessed notes came up first. Now I have to dig for them. The subscription pop ups are annoying. I get at least 3 before I even access one of my notes. $55-125 a year for a subscription. I understand they're a business and need to make money but how bout you lower that to $25 across the board. And roll back the updates! Fix bugs but leave the rest alone. It was working perfectly before.

Long time user, the new free version of this app is completely unusable. Every time you open a note it hits you with two advertisment screens you have click through to get to your content. This app use to be so much better. Now it's useless for the nonsubscriber. RPG Notes is a much better platform, automatically creates hyperlinks to other notes with the same title, is free to use as much as you like and a modest donation gets rid of adds forever. Evernote, take note on how a great app works.

I recently resubscribed and it was a mistake. This app used to be efficient, now it's somehow simplified and more cluttered at the same time. Very few customizable settings for the actual app. So poorly optimized for tablets. Limited pen support and no options with how it interacts with the app, it's reduced to handwriting-to-text in every instance aside from the non expandable sticky notes widget. I paid $100 for my stylus, do you think I'm going to waste my time on an app I can't use it in?

New interface is terrible! Down from 5 stars. Interestingly, they disabled comments for video that describes their new interface, I can't help thinking it's because of the barrage of negative comments. The old interface instantly showed 10 most recently accessed notes that. Now I it take multiple taps to see only the 3 most recent. The only way to find anything else is to search! There video claims most user only want to capture notes. Ridiculous! We use it as much or more to access notes.

I've had and used Evernote for decades. Recently, the app kept crashing and would not let me log in. I finally logged off, uninstalled/reinstalled it today, then had to reset password. Once I logged in, everything was gone, completely wiped clean. I had lots and lots of important information as well as journal entries from years ago. It's all gone. Getting rid of this app and gotta find a more secure one now. So disappointed and frustrated. Also, trying to Close my account, it won't let me. Wow.

Like others, I have been a user for a very long time, and loved the versatility and ease of use, having it both on my computer for journaling and phone for common lists. But I'm extremely disappointed that its now a subscription, and not cheap, which unfortunately cannot fit into my budget. Also, the new interface is meh, and I'm already far beyond the max for free, I cant create new notes. Guess Ill have to save my stuff and find a different app. Thanks Evernote, it was good while it lasted!

After using it for 10 years, I'll have to find another app. Finally with the last edition, that they said was "made with S2", the app is basically unusable, give the bugs, glitches, screen closing out of the blue, app shutting down, even a notebook I use the most disappearing from the "move to" option... not to mention that the last layout is bad. So sad. I always used the premium version and used a lot, for over 10 years.
