ferol 530 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 There's been a quantum of posts everywhere lately about how people are disgusted, angry, and walking away from Evernote... I too have been swept up in this "hysteria". And, of course, the other behavior of v.10 was behind it as well. Let's turn this around a bit... Write down what is so important to you about Evernote that you will stay in the system because of it. For me, of course, there are more things and features, but one is so prominent that it's my top feature and I can't replace it in any time-efficient way in other systems. It's ANNOTATE IMAGE. I work with a quantum of screenshots that I can annotate very easily because of this. And most importantly the edits are editable and directly visible in Evernote. I haven't been able to achieve anything like this in competing systems I've tested. And there have been quite a few. Here's a list that I've tested: capacities.io slite.com box.com/notes ayanza.com zoho.com/notebook clickup.com notesnook.com notion.so amplenote standardnotes.com obsidian.md joplinapp.org nimbusweb.me Dropbox paper notejoy.com getupnote.com ... and more only checked by presentations.... 5 Link to comment

Boot17 1,539 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Just a few here, but there are many more: I’m also a fan of the non-destructive annotate image feature and that one is a big one for me. I’d also love to see more enhancements added to it, but as is it’s very useful. I think Evernote’s editor is very feature rich and nice looking. Putting single page view pdf attachments in a table for example. While I like the quick markdown-like shortcuts, I vastly prefer Evernote’s editor over true markdown since markdown is a bit more limited. I’m a big fan of Evernote’s UI and consistency across all platforms. It’s easy to use on any platform and it just works for me. 4 1 Link to comment
WilliamL 667 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Easy to use and consistent text editor that carries formatting when copy and pasting Good offline management Great OCR capabilities Email in notes Integrated tasks they are some of the ones I really appreciate and other apps don’t do as well or at all. The Ai search could be a really powerful layer on top of that. 4 1 Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,075 Posted October 28, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted October 28, 2023 The most important factor for me is that I have used Evernote for years and I know where and how it works, and where it doesn't. I have no interest in being attracted by any of the new players with magic bells and whistles that may or may not help me, but will slow me down for weeks or months until I get fully used to new systems. I do like the new 'vibe' we have - seems like the new team are a bunch of people who actually know what they're doing and want to make Evernote a much better place to get stuff done. Having worked in big league IT for some years I know what that takes, so I'm prepared to be patient - and I know from my time in a Support role how much fun they're probably having right now, so I'm prepared to cut them a lot of slack. Bending Spoons already has some good products of their own and the confidence of their backers to take on an ailing Elephant and nurse it through recovery. I'm definitely prepared to give them some time and will continue to subscribe until they have a chance to get things in order. My gut has a very good feeling about this, and that (believe me) is a lot of good feeling. 7 Link to comment

There's not a single product that does all of these things in one place. I got into Evernote looking for notes and tasks and ended up using it to store many of my documents because it makes things effortless to organize. I find some aspects of Obsidian very attractive but the lack of a WYSIWYG mode really turns me off, I want my notes to be frictionless and I'd rather not deal with markdown as easy as it may be to pick up. 4 1 Link to comment
bmcl26 579 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Home Screen which is my Dashboard for the Day ahead, with Tasks, Calendar Connection, Recent Notes Widget, Filtered Notes Widget, Web Clipper and offline access to my notes when required, Capable search and Data integrity of my notes some dating back to when I first started with EN in 2011. Plus the integration with Mobile devices and Tablets and the ability to access my account from anywhere with Internet access 6 1 Link to comment
notetakeingguy 95 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I agree with lionx On 10/28/2023 at 5:28 PM, lionx said: - pdf ocr and search in pdf - email to evernote - tags because it allows me to find things very fast. And internal shortcuts. I never annotate pictures, and am not a big fan of Home, but I might give it a second thought after the comments here. 2 Link to comment
Sloiderie 0 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 When it comes to Evernote, the thing that sets it apart for me is its versatility and ease of use. I've tried a few other note-taking apps, but I keep coming back to Evernote because it just works for me. One of the key features that I love is the ability to organize my notes in a way that makes sense to me. The tagging system is super handy, and being able to search for notes based on keywords or tags saves me a ton of time. Overall, I think Evernote's strength lies in its ability to adapt to your workflow. Whether you're a student, a professional, or just someone trying to stay organized, Evernote has something to offer. And who knows, maybe in the future, we'll see some quantum ai integration to take our note-taking to the next level! Link to comment
