CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Functional and useful, Evernote goes beyond its architecture and is also interesting. It's a true three-platform play: it works very well, and somewhat differently, on desktop computers, mobile phones, and over the Web.
Evernote is a good note-taking application. If you have the Evernote application running on your camera phone, it will automatically upload your snapshots to the Evernote server, creating a useful archive of them. But the killer feature is that it also does OCR on your images so you can find them later by searching for text in them. Use this tool to snap pictures of products you see in stores and want to remember, to grab whiteboards in meetings, and to take pictures of people with name tags at conferences. It's one of those utilities that might just change your life.
Everything you do on your phone and on your computer gets synchronized to your Evernote account on the Web. Since it synchronizes as soon as you log on, and regularly thereafter, reinstalling the software or losing data because of a crash are nonfatal problems.
Do note that the Web-based text editor isn't keystroke compatible with the PC-based editor. It makes switching between the two experiences confusing. The free version offers 40MB per month for uploading and unpredictable OCR performance, while $45 a year gets you a 500MB a month allowance, priority OCR, better security features, and support.

Version: EverNote 2.0.0.261
"I've found this really useful"
Pros: Easy to learn how to use, it saves new notes automatically, far more flexible than something like notepad, I use it as I would a pad on my desk, keeping links, quotes, cut and paste website articles/excerpts that I came across so as I can access them later on for work I am doing, virtually instant access to any notes you wish to make. Very easy to remove any notes too.
Cons: None so far, not that many bells and whistles if you're looking for an all dancing, all singing application, but I wanted something fairly simple with some flexibility, and this suits me fine as it is.

Version: EverNote 2.0.0.261
"Easy, versatile program - better than sticky notes all over your desktop"
Pros: Easy to use and very versatile. Many different kind of notes all in one place. My favorite feature is the find-as-you-type search feature. Copies clips from text, web, photos, spreadsheets, etc.
Cons: Need to pay $49.95 for shape- and handwriting-recognition features.

Version: EverNote 2.0.0.261
Pros: Very simple program but powerful despite this. I changed to this from a stick note application because of the multiple categorisation and search facilities. This is particularly useful when cross-referencing categories. I use it to link tasks to their status, customer and team members working on the note. Excellent when you are talking to a team member or a customer to quickly identify any other items that would be useful in the conversation.
Cons: I haven't been able to try the freehand notes and the OCR facilities as I don't have a tablet PC or suitable input device so cannot comment on these aspects.
