Roberta Moll 7 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Anyone try Centrallo? www.centrallo.comThey are close to releasing an Evernote import tool and also encrypted notes. Let me know what you think. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,667 Posted October 4, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted October 4, 2015 Tried it a while ago - looking at the website today it seems that the current free version is limited to 100 notes, and the $4.95/ month version to 15GB online storage. Both of which are peanuts compared to the note volumes and storage you can get with Evernote. It worked well enough, but I wasn't prepared to invest the time learning a new app to try it out in depth or over a period. Can't speak for its reliability or security. Link to comment

Level 5* DTLow 5,736 Posted February 4, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted February 4, 2016 This is a comparison shown on their website Note - there are charges on the premium account They also say: Centrallo is free for Web, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android The biggest problem for me - no desktop version I know - I shouldn't follow trolls Link to comment

AS an Apple/Evernote fanboy, I resemble that remark. I still look at the alternatives just for ideas, but for the most part - its not a productive use of time. I posted the details above just to save anyone else from checking this out and being broken hearted when they find out there are flaws. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,667 Posted February 10, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted February 10, 2016 Looks like Centrallo's trollish marketing tactics paid off with at least one other tech commentator - http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-app-reviews/productivity/quick-look-centrallo-an-evernote-alternative-for-your-productivity-needs/ Link to comment
Roberta Moll 7 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Who is trolling? What's your problem? Centrallo is a compliment to Evernote not a replacement. It's to help people like you organize your notes into a friendly heirarchal list structure that's easy to share publicly or privately. Respect them as they are only trying to help YOU be more productive. Link to comment

Respect them as they are only trying to help YOU be more productive. Hi Roberta. OK. I'll feed the troll a little. I do not think that word means what you think it means. The name of your thread is "a free Evernote alternative," which suggests YOU are the one without much respect for the folks who are only trying to help you be more productive; namely, the Evernote staff. If you meant to suggest the service as a complement to Evernote, maybe you shouldn't have followed up your sales pitch for Centrallo with "Look out Evernote!" or referred to Evernote as the "Netscape" of note taking apps. LOL. I think that's enough troll food for today. Centrallo may be the best thing since sliced bread, but you are doing it a disservice by trolling the forums of competitors. By the way, since you seem to know so much about Centrallo, could you tell us: 1. where they store user data (on their servers or borrowed ones) and what features are in place to protect our data at rest from unauthorized access by employees, hackers, etc.? 2. about how many employees they have (are you one of them)? 3. when you started using Centrallo? 4. what this phrase from their privacy policy means; "If Centrallo is involved in a merger, acquisition, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction"? 5. what this phrase from the privacy policy means; "We follow generally accepted standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it"?

That might contradict the name of your thread - Centrallo - a free Evernote alternative Centrallo - a free Evernote alternative i think it might have been directed at gaz, though i am probably the first one to label her as a troll -- something i rarely do. she only seems interested in joining these forums to throw shade at evernote and hawk her product. seems like trolling to me, but i'll go with tacky evernote comes out stronger in the comparison because of our discussions, not because of anything she has added. i believe this may be the first time she has actually engaged with anyone. usually she only has time to copy/paste her sales pitch and a link. perhaps if she joins the discussions, she'll seem less like a troll and more like a member of the community.

Level 5* gazumped 11,667 Posted February 11, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted February 11, 2016 Yep - I think that was me, the troublemaker. As an experienced user of note-taking apps I was poking a little reasonably gentle fun at Roberta whose previous 16 posts, coincidentally I'm sure, have all I think been along the lines of "have you tried this alternative to Evernote?". At least one commentator seems to have been persuaded that Centrallo is a potentially viable option, but while the piece is called "A quick look..." it doesn't actually raise any questions about some things which would worry me, or do any kind of accurate comparison between the various options available, of which OneNote seems like an increasingly viable contender (based purely on features!). In my defence I'd point out that I did bring the item to everyone's attention here, and no publicity is actually "bad" publicity... (although 'no publicity' would definitely be bad, because then no-one would ever hear about it...) Hmmn. Going to bed now.. Link to comment
