Unfortunately, Evernote doesn’t seem to be designed to have a team of people working together.
But often Notes apps are also used as a central hub for a whole team to work on a shared project. Typically, most of your notes are for personal use meetings, plans, to-do lists, projects, etc. Search is important, but it is not an organizational tool.Įvernote also suffers from a lack of collaboration options. A notes app is okay for dumping thoughts as long as it also offers the tools to make it easy to organize those thoughts and make sense of them. They’re designed to let you put down lots of small nuggets of information or ideas, and then you can completely rearrange them and structure them into a cohesive, hierarchal structure. But this is where Mind Mapping apps shine. This structure isn’t necessarily a horrible thing sometimes you need to get something out of your head and down on paper. From my experience, it’s less of a place to organize your ideas than it is a place to dump thoughts. I also believe there are some superior alternatives that may not have as much exposure, but have a better, more user-friendly platform.įirst and foremost, Evernote is a disorganized app. In my opinion, though, I believe that Evernote is severely lacking because of some user-hostile design decisions, and because of the way it’s structured as a notes app. The other thing Evernote has going for it is that people who use Evernote do a great job of evangelizing the platform to non-users. It’s probably one of the more well-known note taking apps, and it has a couple of very attractive features: It’s free to use for most people it’s easy to dump large amounts of information into from a variety of sources it’s cross-platform-you can get an Evernote app for just about any smartphone or computer. In this blog post, I’d like to tell you why this is so important, and why you shouldn't trust your data to Evernote and should choose a better notes app.Įvernote is very popular. Unfortunately, the bug completely deletes attachments from saved notes, which can be catastrophic for many Evernote devotees. Fortunately, this bug is limited to the MacOS version of the popular notes app, and it doesn’t affect any text notes. This month the Evernote team sent out an email to its users about a critical bug in its software. But my job as an IT professional is to recommend the best tool for the job to my clients, and Evernote has enough issues that I feel it’s worth my time to dissuade my readership from relying on it as a part of their workflow. In this case, I’d rather write ten blog posts extolling the virtues of OneNote rather than write a single post presenting the case against using Evernote. I’d much rather write about things I’m passionately excited for rather than write about things I’m against. This blog post is hard for me to write because I’m not typically a negative person.
