2024-11-21 | Marie C | Evernote used to be great-- I had loads of notes from the free version, then they changed their pricing structure, charged exorbitant fees, and COMPLETELY LOCKED ME OUT OF MY OLD NOTES until I paid. now I have to find a way to download hundreds of notes before I can cancel. and they have the audacity to ask me for a review? hilarious. I've been using "one note" (no space) since this happened and it's way, way better (and doesn't try to upsell me or lock me out every time I open the app). | |
2024-11-15 | dave I | Thanks for giving us the ability to select the default opening screen! Now give us back TWO DEVICE SYNC !!! So i guess the free version is no longer syncing with a second device... Poor choice for anyone who wants an "ok" note pad that will sync with two devices for free. Still looking elsewhere for a notepad app. | |
2024-11-14 | Kalyn MacDonald | I've used Evernote since 2016. The app jumped on the subscription bandwagon and has chipped away all features to pressure users to pay high subscription fees. Plus, I could barely move between screens within the app without a pop-up ad encouraging me to subscribe, and canceling out of the pop-up became more difficult to do. I got tired of it, so I cleared out my notes, canceled my account (and ordeal in of itself), and deleted it off my devices. Good riddance! | |
2024-11-12 | Scott D | 11/11/24 update. Stay away! Do not start using this app as it is collapsing because of greed. Evernote went from 4.5* to 3.0* rating because the people who are running it are dumb. They now only allow you to sync 1 device and your computer browser counts as one. They try to charge you $78 to keep your phone and computer browser synced! Never ending ads!!! Used to be my go to for notes but now every time I open it they are spamming with ads to pay to upgrade. | |
2024-11-11 | Adam Schuleman | DO NOT USE THIS APP! USE GOOGLE KEEP instead, it's a decent, free alternative. Evernote WAS wonderful and FREE to make many notes and notebooks. NOW THEY CHARGE you a crazy high price, $120/yr, to have any decent functionality out of the app, like to make more than one notebook and many notes. I've used Evernote since 2012 and have TONS of notes and notebooks, but FK that. This app will go extinct soon. I just need to find a way to transfer all my stuff to another app. | |
2024-11-09 | Forrest Brackett | DO NOT. AND I REPEAT DO NOT USE THIS APP! I am a writer who used this app for years to write ideas, scripts and other things. Now I'm locked out, unless i buy the exorbitantly priced payed version. 14.99 a month, for thier note pad app! That's more than a tv streaming service. Years worth of material, flushed down the drain, and I will never get it back. | |
2024-11-08 | Barbara Blissett | No payment history for Google subscription. Evernote ignored an annual personal subscription payment paid through Google; within 2 weeks another annual personal subscription (for the same subscription) auto-deduction was made at the Evernote website. I requested a refund for the Evernote deduction; their refund form requires that the subscription be downgraded. To keep my info on their site, I had to agree to paying for the same personal subscription again, monthly. No chat or phone help. | |
2024-11-08 | Marcus Key | Should have updated this from years ago. This went from one of the best note apps to the worst. Being a free app with as many notes as you want to then needing a subscription for more than a limited amount of notes. Finally devolving to having to watch ads before viewing your notes if you don't pay. I'll be transferring all my data to an app that isn't awful. Hope this shuts down soon. | |
2024-11-07 | Edgar Agosto | This has been my note taking app for more than 7 years and I used to love it, but it has gone worse and worse for the last couple of years. The latest update v. 10.113.1 was the nail on the coffin. They added a HORRIBLE Ad experience, on your face, witch is pressing me to move to an other provider. Don't update to it. You will regret it. | |
2024-11-05 | Kathy Vincent | Installed 10 years ago. LOVED IT. But no more. It is now zero stars. I installed when it was free and wonderful. (2014?) Later, there was an upgrade "pay version" avail which could do more things, but I didn't need those. Then, rules changed, & the free version was limited on how many notes you can make before buying the paid version. Now, I can't access my existing notes without buying it. Not even to copy them over to a different free app. I NEED some of these notes today. 😵💫 |
