What the community says

Mostly negativeUpdated August 2026

The dominant theme is decline: users describe the product as stale, regressed and overpriced, and recount migrating to Apple Notes or Obsidian. A minority push back and say Evernote is genuinely being developed again post-acquisition, but they are outnumbered.

“I was so annoyed with how slimy Evernote had become and how the product regressed and they were clearly not spending money on it, I switched to Apple Notes and have been very happy.”
