Evernote is not be the perfect solution in it's space. Many users complain that it crashes often and/or won't even open up for them. Their Optimal Character Recognition (the founders expertise in) is amazing but slows down their program. Could be a case for less being more for users that just want to take text and picture notes and then sync them.
Evernote is bloated and the desktop versions are ugly and over complex. After test various note taking
apps, Simplenote (http://www.simplenoteapp.com/) is my app of choice: clean ui and web sync. A nice review can be found here:
Your experience has been entirely different than mine. I've never had any problems with Evernote in two years. Granted, I'm running it on a Mac, maybe that makes the difference. Evernote on the desktop and iPhone make a for a powerful combination.
Evernote also deserves major kudos for frequently updating the app and each one makes it even better.
I've never had EverNote on iPhone work, ever. I spent a week trying to get it to recognise text in various labels on different items, one of its touted capabilities, with a zero percent success rate. I uninstalled it shortly afterward.
That may have been an early release. I stand by our article and my own personal experiences. Evernote is a fantastic note taking app. The latest version I just installed is lightening fast. The Mac client is solid. If you are in the market for a note taking app, I highly recommend it.
