It seemed that the app was catching up with other services. The service failed to keep up with the trend of team-based collaboration or knowledge management space. Instead of improving the core experience, the focus got diverted to other business avenues leaving the main product in a state of limbo. But despite having so many benefits, users faced many problems with Evernote.Īlthough developers periodically released new features, the long-standing bugs were ignored. It can be your digital file cabinet, note-taking tool, project management system, journal keeper, and more. There are reasons for Evernote being so popular among users. In this article, we’ll explore some note-taking apps and show you the best Evernote alternatives. There were many bugs and inconsistencies with the note editor across the platforms, notes were getting vanished or worse corrupted, application response was slow at times, and privacy issues. It was not able to meet the expectations of common users. The service was a huge hit, but as time passed by, the company failed to iterate on the product development. Evernote lets you capture anything to create personal space for all your ideas and access it from any device. I see your point about deletion of an account, and Evernote should be better at that.ġ7 years blogging.The concept of having a “backup brain” that would enable you to store, organize, and retrieve information is a novel idea. I wanted to join, but that’s not possible from a German IP address. It’s not that they don’t have it!īy the way, how do you like your YouTube from a German IP address? As said, I was in that MOOC from Mr Alemanno, and at one point he had a Google Hangout. Especially for services that are originally from an English speaking country, I really am annoyed when they offer me the local language. I want to choose the language, if possible. Now, I do understand a fair bit of German, but that’s not the point. What is familiar, is that language issue. Seriously, though: you should be able to delete your account and all the content. I use it extensively, and can’t imagine why you want to leave it anyway. I love that service to the point that I’m a paying customer. As it is currently, from the user point of view, this entire process leaves a lot to be desired! Now of course there must be caveats to this – if I had shared notes with others, or others had shared them with me, there must be a way to deal with this when an account is deleted. And does a note deletion really mean it is deleted? Or only from my list of documents? However here too I have no idea what data, as a user, Evernote still has stored about me. Googling around further leads me to this Evernote support page in German (I can’t get an English version as Evernote sees I have a German IP address and thinks I therefore definitely need German language support, and doesn’t allow me to change language either from a menu or changing the URL – a further usability failure) that tells me that I need to delete each note I have saved separately, change my e-mail address listed at Evernote to one I may never then need for an account in future, and then to deactivate my account. Yeah, so I can prevent myself from ever having access to the account again, but Evernote still has access to all my data, indefinitely? That strikes me as a major failure. The screenshot above is for the closest Evernote has to an account deletion page – but it actually describes a permanent account deactivation, rather than a deletion, and it is also a deactivation without the prospect of reactivation. Only with Evernote you cannot close your account, at least not properly, and that worries me. It’s not necessarily a critique of these services as such, but I think that if I am no longer using a service it’s better I close the account. Old accounts with services I no longer use are being closed for good. I’m doing a bit of online spring cleaning this week.
