Indeed, the developers have already submitted a bug fix update and have another one in store which should address even more bugs and introduce new features. The first iteration of Evernote for iPad has been developed in a rush to submit the app for approval, it doesn’t have all the features you might expect from Evernote and it definitely shows great room for improvement. But thing is, thanks to the iPad version Evernote makes much more sense to me now.įirst of all, let me say this straight up: it could be a lot better. Perhaps I wasn’t just ready for it? Who knows. But like I said, I had a problem with the Mac version the first time I tried it: I found the UI quite messy and I didn’t manage to get along with the system clipper and tons of desktop features. Looking at the big picture, Evernote is so popular because the service is good, works fine and it’s cross-platform. The free service lets you store up to 50MB of data per month, while the Premium version brings the storage space up to 500MB per month, together with better file types support and enhanced security. You can organize all your stuff in notebooks and tags, search and apply filters to keep everything always under control. If you’re just beginning to consider a note-taking app, though, OneNote and Evernote are equally (bad pun alert) noteworthy.For those who don’t know, the purpose of Evernote is that of allowing you to build your own digital scrapbook made of notes, pictures, links, sounds, whatever. (See my recent article, “13 Evernote Tips for Businesspeople.”) For now, I’m still sticking with Evernote, because I already store a huge amount of information there.
(Evernote is also mostly free, though some advanced features are behind a paywall.) OneNote syncs across devices nicely, and the service has been available, in some form or another, since 2003, so it’s unlikely that it will disappear, as Springpad did last year.Įvernote’s probably not going anywhere either, given the large and growing ecosystem of apps built to integrate with it, not to mention its devoted user base. Microsoft recently made it free to use OneNote across all platforms and devices, including Windows PCs, tablets and phones Macs iOS and Android.
The app’s straightforward interface is easier to learn and navigate than Evernote. In short: OneNote has improved since I reviewed it nearly two years ago.
