Evernote - Notes Organizer 4+

I have been a long time user of Evernote. I was a hesitant, random user initially. After investing some time to learn a little more about it, my use has grown. It now houses a lot of my information, and I can usually find what I need quickly. I’ve been really pleased with the nearly seamless updates across multiple platforms that has occurred recently. One challenge that I’m facing with the new mobile interface is that tasks are no longer highlighted on the opening page. When we had the previous Home page, you could very quickly see tasks that were due or overdue. Now that is gone. Therefore, when I have a task that is due, I often miss it. Unless I happen to catch the reminder notification that pops up on my phone or watch, I have missed things pretty frequently with this new mobile interface update. I would love to see the Task icon on the new Create space to have some sort of indication that you have a task overdue. Maybe it is bolded, maybe there is a number indicating the amount of tasks overdue. I’m open to anything that will help me remember to do the tasks that I’ve created! Please, please consider something to remedy this. Otherwise, using Evernote’s Task feature is almost useless. I will keep a lookout for updates!

I just don’t understand some of negative reviews of Evernote’s latest update, which is fantastic. I have been using the app for years and am thrilled to see the innovation that the new leadership team is bringing about a year in. It looks like it took about a year to stabilize, and now new features are a’comin’. Tasks is game changing, and Gmail and Google calendar sync has boosted my productivity tremendously. I have been mainly using the web app but earlier this week updated my iPhone to this version. Immediately following the update I was having all sorts of issues getting my notes to load in the app. So I sent a support ticket to Evernote, called it a day, and accidentally left the app running overnight on my iPhone. To my delight I awakened to see a notification in the app that I had been successfully upgraded to then latest personal version. All of my notes suddenly appeared, and I have had a phenomenal experience with the app ever since. IMO nothing comes close to Evernote. I love Google, but Drive is where notes go to die. Evernote is where they flourish. I cannot say enough good things about this app and what I’m seeing from the company. It is extremely difficult to satisfy all existing customers while innovating and expanding the base. As a longtime user, however, I personally feel that the team is doing a tremendous job. Kudos!

I've been a paid Evernote user since 2010 and have used it personally and for business throughout the past 14 years. I've never been as excited to use Evernote as I have been in the past few months. After a lot of rumors about their history with other products and assumptions about what they would do with Evernote, Federico Simionato and the new developers at Bending Spoons have delivered feature after feature after feature in 2024. So now, as a result of it's traditional standout note features such as PDF management and web clipper/note creation I have eliminated my need for Notion due to features like collapsible sections, calendar integration, and slash commands. The recent task updates have also eliminated my need to use to Todoist to track my immediate tasks and have also allowed me to create a robust backlog of tasks that I can easily navigate. It's easily paying for itself in terms of improved functionality, efficiency, and workflow centralization.
I still dream of some additional options like inline images, colored background formatting, a more robust tag management system, better searching, more intuitive and integrated AI, better home page customization, and especially block level transclusion, but overall I'm loving Evernote better than ever and can't wait for the next updates from the team.
