I've been a paying customer for over 13 years and over the last few years had been getting frustrated with Evernote problems, however I'm delighted to see that the corner has been turned and the product is now much more stable, has a clear development path, much better communication (through these monthly updates), and obviously now has a secure future. I'm very glad that I stuck with Evernote through the tough times and am now reaping the rewards of that decision. Keep up the good work 👍
Ditto - member since 2009. It was a great product which was in danger of losing its way. Feels like a new lease of life.
Well said. There was a time or two I went looking for an alternative. Really satisfied now. It's great when it's great.
Ditto - When SpringPad closed in 2014, they suggested EverNote. For a while it seemed like a mistake. Since the new revamp, it's been getting better. Though not all changes were good, the overall direction is very good, and quality is noticeably better. I'd suggest more testing and fewer releases. It is a stable product. Add or change features more gradually. Good work. Thanks!!
yes, new team/owner try to renew product. But month ago I lost couple important (for the court trial) attached docs in Evernote. And EN support did not provide me a solution to recover, nor even reasonable reply. So, it still dangerous to store important documents in EN. Even if you are paying for it.
Same, and always love the update 🦦 cheers to the team
As an Evernote user since 2008, thought about leaving a number of times, the Bending Spoons acquisition of Evernote will be a Business School masterclass in how an acquisition completely re-invigorated a dormant and tired software product. Awesome work. Worth every penny. Keep it going BS team. ❤ it.
I have been with Evernote since 2012 using it essentially as a filing cabinet. Reading all the naysayers comments over the years saying “to few updates, no new functions, syncing issues etc & with Bending Spoons buying Evernote the pessimism grew & now look at what’s happening Evernote is coming back to the top of the pile where it belongs. Well done & we now have a comprehensive digital notebook that’s going places fast. 👏👍
I agree 100%.
I agree too. Using it for about 14 years now.
If it's so comprehensive where's the support for typing Maths notation, through e.g. LaTeX?
100% I agree. I've been a user for about 8 years and these days I'm excited about the progress that is being made with it. I look forward to Evernote's future!
I cannot agree. Accessing any note on my mobile is significantly slower (the new starting page is useless to me), and I cannot use it on my elderly laptop because of oversize (I have absolutely no problem using MS Word or Antidote on the same device). And I payed a considerable amount of money for that...
I was an early adopter of Evernote and am still happy with all that this program offers. As it has grown it has become my main source of organizing multiple businesses and my personal life as well. Thank you for keeping it relevant and dynamic for users.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Whatever you do just make sure the complex text formatting and UI features don't make the experience on mobile devices laggy and buggy just like Notion. It's far better to have the mobile version simple while offering complex features on desktop and web than having a bulky, laggy and buggy app on phone as the majority of the note taking happens from the handy devices like phones.
Good progress. Feels good that I put my 4 grand per year subscription money on EN. Hoping to have a smoother and productive experience. 🎉
As a long time Evernote user who was starting to worry about its future, I echo soooo many of the comments on here. The platform has improved significantly in the last 6 months, and the functionality is now really starting to shine, all with great usability in mind. Great stuff - thank you!
Great to see Bending Spoons bringing refreshing improvements and understanding what we need on mobile vs the desktop app. I almost switched to apple notes but glad I stuck it out. Thank you and keep it up.
Thank you for posting these videos informing us of what you've done and what is coming. I've been using Evernote since 2015 and this is the first time I have seen so many updates and a total dedication to customer participation.
You're all very busy making calendar integrations, tasks, and slash menus. I don't use any of that, but would love to be able to just drag notes into any order like you can in any other note taking app.
they are prioritizing updates that will make people replace other apps so they justify the greatly increased price. I don't agree with it but it is what it is.
I love that you're iterating on Tasks. I've been a longtime user of Toodledo but would love to combine my tasks into Evernote and have it all in one place. What you're missing from Tasks is the ability to add folders or tags to tasks, so I can view them in buckets - like Project 1, Project 2, etc. Also, Context is key - so phone calls, computer, Things to Listen to, etc. Both of these fields would need to be customizable. If you did that, I could cancel Toodledo, move everything into Evernote, and I would never be able to leave!
Thanks for all the new attention on the product. It keeps getting better!
Oh, collapsible sections are great! Glad to hear that it’s going to be in the mobile app. And the idea about tasks in the calendar sounds great.
Great it is nice to see Evernote improving !
Great new features and I'm excited to see the 'pin a note' feature coming soon. That will solve a problem I have where I want a particular note to always appear at the top of all the notes list no matter how they are sorted. Right now I have to preface the title of such notes with "00." so the note is at the top when I sort by title. It works but isn't aesthetically pleasing.
As a workaround ... you can set a reminder without a time to have this note "pinned" to the top. But I agree ... a real pinning option would be better
Explaining your process at the end of the video - just priceless. I think that the poor communication of the company with its users has been a problem for years and I'm glad you are finally fixing this. Miracles do happen. :)
Thank you SOOOOOOOO much for working on the code syntax highlighting feature! I truly appreciate it!!!!! 😍
I have used Evernote since 2008. It's my go-to for storing lots of content and processing information. Nothing (and I've tried a bunch) comes close to the ease of use, flexibility, and adaptability. It's super awesome to see the see video updates from Bending Spoons.
Cannot wait for the code block syntax highlight 😊
Thank you for this update. I appreciate Evernote keeping in touch with its customers. I really like the internal calendar and task view, as I never wanted to link to an external calendar. I, like others, initally was skeptical about Bending Spoons taking over, but am pleased to see you making an effort to improve Evernote. 👍
Thank you for the updates. I love Evernote. Finally, we can be excited about Evernote again.
Super cool update! Well done Evernote.
Syntax highlighting very much appreciated
You are great! I'm happy to be Evernote user again. Before I was user since 2011. notion style commands are nice! Waiting to have NESTED FOLDERS. 🙏 THANKS!
Using Evernote since 2012, last updates are great! Good work!
Huge thanks for implementing header links, and auto-generated table of content. I have been looking for these features for years.
I'm a user of Evernote for more than 10 years. I canceled my subscription and then re-subscribed very recently, seeing how it's coming back alive. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your hard work. Been a customer more than a decade already. I am happy with all these developments.
Thanks Bending Spoons for re-invigorating an app that I have loved since 2009. Amazing changes and improvements!
Love the product improvements!
WELL DONE! - thank you and have a nice weekend!
I love to see the platform being actively developed and improved after languishing for so long. I was about to leave after more than a decade as I felt I was missing features others have. This rapid dev schedule has me excited again for Evernote!
Appreciate the hard work. Thankful to be a long-time Evernote user.
Some really great updates this past couple months. I was resigned to leave EN, but now absolutely back. Great stuff.
Hey guys. This is great. I get back to Evernote!!!!
Fantastic. I love Evernote. I use it for everything. These are so good.
Excitingly looking forward to what Evernote could evolve!
love the new task view. i submitted this feedback that i couldn't keep the task pane as persistently open. i have constantly tinkered with other systems but always stuck with Evernote as my core personal system of record.
Thanks for putting shortcuts on the mobile app. Really great!
They return the real-time searches and keyboard shortcuts that the old versions of Evernote had. It was a tremendous setback to remove those facilities that Evernote previously had.
Full-time user for the past year or so and really loving the updates and the communication about the updates. Thank you bending spoon
Great improvements! It's very nice to see how Evernote is getting even better! Please, upload new videos on RUclips like this one monthly :)
That's the plan!
I've been a long time Evernote User, maybe 10 or 15 years. I've been paying for the 10 last years at least, but I was thinking of going away, testing a lot of other note apps. As a matter of fact, Evernote was giving the feeling that it was way behind competition... but everything I see lately makes me feel like I am going to reconsider the fact of living even if I am starting to appreciate the visual experience of Heptabase, the ergonomics and display of Evernote's interface now is really nice now !
Honestly, you guys are killing it. So thankful for the acquisition and the super fast rollout of these bug-free features. Subscribed!
Ottimo lavoro ragazzi! sono cliente di Evernote dal 2010 - per un po' di tempo sono passata ad un uso intensivo di Notion ma ora sto tornando a Evernote perchè rimane il top per la ricerca dei contenuti. Bravi! Grazie
Truly enjoying the product now. Satisfied with all your recent changes.
Fantastic demo and valuable updates. 💯 I have been using Evernote since 2008, and the Bending Spoons approach seems to be working really well. It's quite refreshing after the weird era from 2017-2022 when the team focused on esoteric things like redesigning the product logo. 🤔 Thank you! 🤩
@evernote - Can you guys provide an overview or update on how our data is secured from external and rogue internal threats?
Would love this too. It’s hard to know how much I can trust Evernote with sensitive files.
*VERY relevant question.* Would not want our data being sold to chynah, etc.
Will you please, please, please enable editing of two notes side by side on iPad? That feature is so important to me that I will most likely move away from Evernote if it is not on the road map. That would be very sad, because I'm a long time user and love it so much.
That would be a great and very useful feature - but I could see it being a big lift.
Thanks for the suggestion, we've made a note of it for the future!
Same thing for Mac, please
Excellent!!
Thanks! One of the KEY features we sorely need is the TASK FEATURE INTEGRATION with Apple Reminders and major task management apps, etc.
Great improvements!!!
Congratulations 👏👏!
I LOVE THIS!! it's like you've read my mind. I almost gave up on EN after many years of use; I had to supplement with other apps. Now I think I could exclusively use EN for all my note-taking, capturing, archiving, project managing, task managing and second brain needs (btw, tasks in calendars... in love!). And the slash menu is so useful.
+10 for syntax highlighting! Lots of good stuff!
Thank you for doing these every month! They're so helpful!
maybe somethime we also get back the *Atlas* feature? it would be so cool being able to look for notes not only based on Tasks, Events, Keywords, Titles, etc., but also based on geographic location. Find your favorite places by looking on a map and see what notes are associated to a partical position on that map, or find your most important notes assigned where are you currently walking 😘
The new fields in the task are really helpful, especially the description field.
Agree with many of the previous comments. Evernote has improved a lot!
Not sure how niche this one is...would love to see Evernote ace it on devices like the Boox Note Air3 C with better pen/handwriting support/functionality/integration so I can ditch OneNote which I'm still using in addition to Evernote.
Great work y'all! Love seeing all these updates!
Thanks for the updates!
So happy for the updates and communication! Would love to see one simple improvement: Let us order the notes differently in each project, without redoing it every time we switch. Thank you!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Sou brasileiro e utilizo o Evernote desde 2013, simplesmente faz parte da minha vida 100% no dia a dia. Pela primeira vez percebo que nós estamos sendo ''ouvidos'', parabéns pelas atualizações e principalmente pela transparência dos vídeos. A opção de notificação dentro do Evernote é ótima. Uma sugestão é que haja o sincronismo do espaçamento (largura) da coluna em diferentes aparelhos (celular e notebook). Outra seria que o Evernote no celular seja um ''bloco de notas'' prático, rápido e ágil para o dia a dia, assim como por exemplo o Color Note entre outros, para anotações bem rápidas.
I love all the product updates and that you're talking to us users directly! These videos are great too.
Collapsible sections are HUGELY useful for me. Also, kudos on performance improvement in Android apps. Before, Evernote was unusable on my phone or tablet, as it took forever or froze when trying to find and load a large note.
GO EVERNOTE!!
Thank you so much for updating the program. I have been a subscriber for over a decade and was worried that the program might not continue. So glad that you are updating and improving the program. I rely on this program so much for my work. thank you for doing so much to improve the program. Greatest web clipper on any note program!
I've been using Evernote for several years, and it just keeps getting better. Thanks so much!
I'm so excited about the work you're doing, Bending Spoons. You saw what we, the users, have always seen. That Evernote is a GOOD product and we LOVE it... but CEO after CEO they just cannot focus enough to make it truly great. I am nearly in tears of joy about the work you're doing. Might be the oldest user in the comments with notes in Evernote going back to 2007. Go Bending Spoons, GO! Take my money.
Amazing how Evernote improved the last months. Many thanks!
awesome work on these updates! Since 2008 when I started using, Evernote has been an essential part of how I organize - just because it's covering the basics. I love that it is becoming a delightful product that grows with the demands of how we work.
Evernote is on a comeback!! Keep it going.
New code blocks with syntax highlighting ❤
Absolutely fantastic. It is great that you are finally bring things like pinned notes and code formatting to the table. I appreciate having been interviewed by one of your staff back in November '23 and it appears my input was taken to heart. It has renewed my faith in your product as I was starting to look elsewhere.
Evernote has become much better in the past year or so. Many new, helpful features. Most important, more reliable. Thank you.
I prefer the other version of home! Was it a little slower? Yes! However, the experience was unique on all platforms
The biggest question for me is being able to have handwritten notes. Currently use GoodNotes for handwritten notes. Apple notes for typed notes.
I am very close to returning to Evernote after have been a client since 2013. Once the handwritten note situation is sorted I will be back.
Honestly after using Evernote for 10+ years, finally having collapsible lists and auto Table of Contents is a god send. Thank you!
Been using Evernote since 2011 as a paid customer. Love the new improvements. Been using paid Todoist as well but if Evernote can match some of their features, its a Wow!
I echo the positive comments above! I have used Evernote for 5 years and was getting nervous that glitches were coming in and the news online was that Evernote was on the decline. NOT SO!🎉 I am delighted to see all the improvements you are making and thanks for the helpful pop ups and videos to keep your community informed. Keep doing what you are doing please 😊
Been using Evernote since 2012 and I've been very frustrated with the updates and changes over the past 5 years. This last set of updates has been huge in helping to win me back to loving Evernote!!! Thank you.
⏳ Waiting for the new functions that will come, especially the 📌 pins to be able to pin the main notes at the top. congratulations on the improvements that have come and will come 👏👏👏
This has been a feature request since 2013
The calendar feature seemed GREAT to me
It would be great to be able to apply labels to full screens for Tasks. For example, the same labels that we apply to notes, such as important priority or not important.
Another point is that when you make a reference or position yourself in a note, it would be nice to be able to open the folder that contains it, but also to show the Stack in the folder path, because when you have multiple stacks and hundreds of folders within the stacks, we have trouble finding them. Another interesting point is that labels can also be applied to folders and stacks, and that colors can be assigned to the names of the folders and TITLES, whose color is also shown in the lists of Notes, so that we can quickly identify with the colors the notes and types of notes, areas of life, for example, everything green for work, blue for health, and urgent in RED, etc. Thanks for the great work, congratulations on this method of communication that makes us more loyal to EVERNOTE. I hope you respond to me about what you think of my suggestions.
Could we please get back the old Evernote home on mobile! The Evernote Home with widgets was great. The new Evernote home offers shortcuts that are already on your homescreen widgets and finding back recent or pinned notes has become much more difficult.
The Notes button gives you a full list sorted by most recent, and the Shortcuts button gives you a recent list as well as a customizable list of your shortcuts. I didn't like this change initially, but it's honestly faster for me now. Scrolling sideways through my recent notes was always awkward and slow in the old home UI, and scrolling to my shortcuts was slower than just clicking the new button.
It's great to see those significant enhancements and effective communication here. It's pleasing to witness the swift progress Evernote has made since its acquisition by Bending Spoons. I'm happy I remained loyal to Evernote for over a decade.
The slash command is one of the features I adapted most quickly. It really is a time saver.
The only feature I wish you guys had, would be if I can assign who a task is for, without requiring them to have an account or enter their email address.
I'm the only person in my company with an account and when I create tasks that I need to assign to people in my company (for my own tracking on who to follow up with) I can't assign it to a specific person if they don't have an account. I hope that makes sense, and I hope one day I'll see that feature. Massive QoL that would be
Really like the new table of contents feature! Makes my large book/course notes way more usable, specially together with the collapsible sections.
I also held on to Evernote for years, despite trying Notion and all newish things, and I'm glad I did: it's finally moving ahead. As for the calendars: "if you just didn't want to connect an external calendar"? Well, Apple Cal still doesn't exist here, does it? I am aware it's the tricky one, but, you know, people use it. I do. Better tasks is a good addition, albeit the risk of bloating the entire thing again; just don't forget about the design - it does look a bit bland. Linking up task management in 3rd party apps like Meistertask or ClickUp is much more important in my workflow at least.
Pin to Notebook! So excited!!!! 🎉
I have used other note programs and have worked with Evernote since 2017. I have always thought it was a simple and powerful tool. After all the notes I've catalogued, it would be useful to have the ability to archive many of the older ones (Notebooks/Stacks/Notes). Don't hesitate to develop an 'Archive' feature to store older data (i.e., 'Notebooks - 2017'; Notebooks - 2018' ...
Thanks for the update! I'm happy to see some new changes.
When will Syntax Highlighting be implemented? There's no better note-taking app than Evernote, but this is the only reason I'm always looking for something else.
I like the new UI
Keep the improvements coming!
- In calendars, when you click on a note, it only allows you to insert events from the calendar that are already created. However, it does not let you create a new event from the note.
- For repetitive tasks, it would be good to have a history in the calendar of the times it was completed, and the times it had issues, with a linked note showing the completion history, such as the date, checkbox, a completion counter, and percentage of completions in that history. This would allow for evaluating how satisfied one is with the results obtained and planning how to achieve what was desired. It could also include options to indicate satisfaction levels, like happy, okay, congratulated, etc. This way, a simple analysis could show whether we met the expectations in those tasks or set of tasks, enabling us to correct, improve, or feel proud of the progress and achievements. It's a way to become aware more quickly of the path traveled.
A few features missing for a long time.
1) Ability to sync partially by folders on desktop / laptops
2) hyperlinks within notes to help navigate long notes (looking forward to the table of contents update!! )
3) ability to embed maths funcions (like in excel) in tables
4) email note to append to an existing note with same subject
Is there any chance of an add today’s date button in the mobile app where a keyboard command does not work. I have a lot of running notes with sections divided by dividers and date.
The new task fields are great but cannot be used if you use both the Windows/Web and Android versions since the description field and priority field don't show up in Android. Good to hear that these will be coming.
I have used Evernote for yearsssss and was ready to leave - big jump in cost but with the improvements it is worth staying BUT I do research and have a ton of notebooks and really need the ability to index my notebooks as in a list.
Great update! Thank you thank you!
I have been using it since 2010. I keep business and personal things of interest. I use the email feature the most in saving for groups and task, and reminders. It would be useful to have a command line useable when forwarding an email. Especially the divider command.
I have been with Evernote since 2017, It´s great as program and notebook as well small projects for day-by-day flow. Quite happy by the coments below. Be fine Evernote Team.
Great to have a table of content. However, the table is not adjusted if you add a new header or new titles in the note. Please fix this.
