Trying to pull up a note on my iPhone felt like opening PhotoShop on a Commodore 64. In my opinion, the point of having all of these "important" notes synced across multiple devices is to have the ability to quickly pull up a note and reference the information.
With every upgrade the rest of my system got faster, and Evernote just stayed as slow as it was on Day 1. Then I got a new MacBook Pro, and a year ago an iMac. Well, I thought, mobile apps are always slower. Then I got a new phone, and it was still slow. I figured the apps were slow because my hardware was slow. I had an old(er) phone and a broken down Dell laptop. I'm not sure if I can properly describe how frustratingly slow the apps are. Why exactly do I want to leave this behind?
So, it's able to store thousands of important files, there are multiple ways to save data as you go, and apps spread across all of my favourite devices. I've got some really important information stored in Evernote.the kind of info I would be very sad to lose. That's not to say having them wasn't incredibly valuable. Over the years I'm sure I've gone back and referenced a few hundred of those at most. I did a few big sweeps this year and got it down to a slim 6,000 notes. I learned how to use web app, the Windows app, the Mac app, and the iOS apps.Īt its height I think I had just over 8,000 notes. I created far too many notebooks, stacks, and tags. Every note, receipt, article, and miscellaneous bit of info I wanted to keep got tossed into Evernote. Since that initial experiment, I have had a love/hate relationship with Evernote. The problem was that OneNote didn't have an iOS app, so I couldn't take my notes with me on my newly purchased iPhone 3G. It was great, and (at least back then) I liked its UI more than Evernote's. Until then I was using Microsoft's OneNote.
A year or so before I decided to move to the Mac, I wanted to find a good note-taking, web-clipping, catch-all app that would work on both platforms. I have used Evernote for quite a long time. Regardless, it's something I've been thinking about quite a bit. Ok, in the grand scheme of things, this isn't going to hit my life's Top 10 difficult choices.
