@m360 – what do you use it for ? I tired it (it was offered free) but then deleted it. I use Calendar and Notes instead with sharing via iCloud account. Happy to re-visit.
I have the paid version now (£2.99 a month) so have it on my phone as well.
I use it for loads of stuff:
Clipping web pages, articles, notes etc for anything from stuff for Uni to gadgets for bikepacking, like a scrapbook of websites. It’s handy because when you clip an article, for example, it saves it with the full link, and active hot links in the clip.
I take photos in it a lot: documents, map-boards, notice board memo’s, business cards, etc.
I also scan/photo personal documents that I can then file away if I ever need the original, or bin. So rent agreements, receipts, etc.
Recently I emailed tickets for a film festival next year to my evernote account. Yeah, I could find them in my email, or print them, but if I lose them or forget them it’s dead easy to find them in evernote on my phone.
And there is the key – searching! Evernote is so damn easy to search. The above can be done in lots of ways, I know, but searching is what makes Evernote so good. The paid version has much better search features. It searches hand-written notes, business cards, map boards, etc.
I’m know that I don’t use it to its full potential, but for me it’s like a giant scrap book that’s super easy to search, on both my phone and laptop.
Not for everyone I guess, but I am a fan 8)
