The speed on the iPad Pro has been pretty good it’s a far cry from the days where it was faster to run Drafts and upload notes from there, instead of actually typing new notes into the Evernote app.
Evernote is my space for quick thoughts, notes on how I’ve set up a device or workflow, and also a repository for quick receipts, thanks to the excellent Scannable app. I’m making copious use of tags in my notes for quick searching, and just a handful of notebooks to keep things organized. I’m using the Plus plan ($47 USD/year) with 1 GB of monthly uploads, and I haven’t felt any need to move to Premium (aside from the strange “upgrade now!” nagging within parts of the UI). The sync feels fast and consistent on iOS, and the background sync does a pretty good job. It took a while, but I’m enjoying using Evernote again. I had concluded previously that I stuck with Evernote because nothing else quite worked how I wanted it to, but I wanted to update that thought after the past few months of regular Evernote usage. OneNote really should have been the winner because it rivals Evernote in terms of cross-platform support and a functional web app, but it just never clicked. I’ve spent a lot of time testing Evernote competitors over the past year. Late in 2016 also saw the launch of Bear, which featured its own Evernote import (in the Mac app) and its own set of tagging, attachment, and in-line picture support. Apple Notes had made some big changes to its feature set with iOS 9, and OneNote introduced an Evernote to OneNote importerto make it easier to move large note libraries to Microsoft’s free note-taking service. I think this move challenged Evernote’s user base, many of whom were suddenly looking at other note apps that they could use for free. However, I do also understand the backlash to Evernote’s pricing change: it wasn’t announced alongside any significant new features, so it just looked like a price increase on both paid plans, and a sudden limitation of the free plan that so many people were enjoying. That was pretty generous for a company whose income comes from a subset of paying users. Previous to that price change, you could use Evernote across as many devices as you wanted, as long as you stayed within the monthly upload limit.
This opened the service up to a lot of criticism from free users, who were actually getting a very good deal from the service. Last June they increased their pricing and put some harder limits on the free accounts. Evernote has had a rockier time in the public eye in the past year.
