If you are using Apple devices, consider switching to Bear, it is $15 annually. Tagging is the main organizing method in the app, also much faster then Evernote

  Thank you for the recommendation. Does Bear have a web version? For me, that’s one of Evernote’s killer features. It’s very convenient not having to install Evernote on my Windows computer at work.

    They don't, since they use iCloud for data storage (so they do get privacy points!) That's why it's Apple only. I know they are working on some stuff for web/Android, but I have no idea how it will work. Maybe users will either be Apple hosted or Bear hosted.

  Bear's tagging is objectively not as nice as true hierarchies. For example, you can't create a new folder and then drag and drop a bunch of notes into it. Changing the "location" of multiple notes requires search and replace, something I don't think Bear even does (at least not the iOS version). Tags also clutter notes. Do you put them at the beginning? At the end? Either way you will see the tags. Very strange for an app which boasts about providing "beautiful" notes. Same goes for the Markdown. Maybe some people find Markdown codes scattered all over the place "beautiful", but I don't. Bear also doesn't handle images very well, at least on iOS (I don't remember how it behaves on the Mac). Images are rendered full width. You can't create nice grids of images like you can with Evernote.

  It's sad that for something as simple as note taking app (though it seems it's hard to get it just right) to be subscription based and there aren't enough good single time pay app to take it down.
