One huge problem is that there’s a lot of competition that provides most of the same core features for free—like Apple Notes, for example. It’s also easy to repurpose apps like MS Word and Google Docs to achieve the same functionality. Obviously they’re very different apps designed for a different purpose, but many of my friends don’t seem to mind. They just want a reasonably functional way to take notes for free.
- wlesieutre 8y agoOneNote is a direct competitor and honestly a better one
- Onawa 8y agoI swapped from Evernote to OneNote for all my note taking needs years ago. I can dump all of my random notes and thoughts into one notebook then structure them better than I ever could with just tags. Not sure if that's changed on Evernote, but lacking the option for both structured and unstructured notes is what drove me away from it initially.
- copperx 8y agoThe OneNote web clipper is a disgrace compared to Evernote's. How do you get around this problem?
- wlesieutre 8y agoNot my use case I guess. I use it for my own notes and lists and sketches rather than a repository of stuff from other sources. Evernote was fine at the start but it seemed like they could never figure out what they wanted the UI to be, so they stretched it in too many different directions.
- puranjay 8y agoEvernote's Skitch was absolutely fantastic and I still haven't found a better replacement
- wlesieutre 8y agoNice little program, but Evernote's main contribution was buying it and killing the iOS/Android/Windows versions. I liked it better as an independent app that cost a couple bucks instead of a freebie that died for not fitting the "core Evernote experience."
- surge 8y agoI don't use a web clipper, I use copy/paste. It pastes the content and a little footnote about the source with URL at the bottom.
