Thats something I would happily pay for.

I read about the ads in the desktop version though and I’m completely turned off.. Sorry but i don’t want to look at ads all day.

Two version. Let us buy one version (one time payment) that will be OFFLINE ONLY -with- local recognition.

Other version can be an ONLINE/OFFLINE -without- local recognition, and MONTHLY subscription.

Otherwise Evernote is doomed. Trust me.

No local image processing, however, is a deal killer. I just can’t see uploading receipts and other potentially private data up to the cloud for processing.

Sadly uninstalling.

I think this is great…

But I hate ads, they are really annoying..I will use for work definetely!

Thanks

Second – in the iphone app, there’s no way to clip from websites. Please add a browser/search inside the evernote app to resolve this problem.

It seemed like the first version with ads made you close it every time you opened the application, which would have been annoying. Checking it out now, it looks like you only have to close it once. As far as I’m concerned, that’s as good as there being no ads. So now I turn them back on once in a while to make sure I’m not missing something.

I don’t like ads in sidebar.

Love this product. But I have to tell you – I DEPEND on local recognition for several uses of Evernote – please bring that back in some form – even limited. I’d planned to add other family members and upgrade to premium, but without local recognition, I have no reason to now. My family project requires it.

Regards,

Not so keen on the ad box either, but I guess everyones gotta make a buck.

I’ve gone back to 3.1.1034 for now, if I’m forced to upgrade and there is no local image recognition, I guess that will be it for me and evernote.

What’s the point in moderation then?!

I have been meaning to upgrade to Premium because I realize you guys need cash to stay alive – and I don’t mind paying for software.

However, I’m an attorney, and the documents I want to index contain other people’s information, and there’s no way in **** that I’m going to send that to your servers. I’m sure you’re nice people and everything, but there are too many ways something can go wrong.

I am disappointed. I may (or may not, depending on the alternatives I find) use Evernote for personal projects, but for work it just became useless.

It may be that I’m trying to use Evernote in a way that it wasn’t intended to be used – but I don’t see how it’s practical to have people uploading tens or hundreds of megabytes of images to your servers to be indexed. Computing power is cheap enough (and processing can be batched) so I see how that’s plausible, but given your current storage/transfer limits I think image processing locally is the only option for me, privacy/confidentiality issues aside.

As to ads, your yearly fee for a premium account does not work for me either. Since I am mostly using EN for personal textual notes, I do not need any of the premium features. I am seriously considering going back to One Note. Please come up with a more diversified fee structure.

But the thing that upset me most was the updated merge command that now adds these gray boxes and other stuff. I typically clip paragraphs from the same webpage and merge them together. I cannot believe that you left out the option that controls note merging.

Disappointing.

It’s poorly placed and w/o warning!

Also Evernote has been getting SLOWER AND SLOWER.

It’s becoming more like crippleware lately. Is premium service supposed to be faster?

Also why do you keep dropping features that were common to prior versions? I am still missing 2x features thinking they would come back. I had to carry a thumb drive around back then but at least my notes were MY notes!

Ugh, I’ve had enough, going to look for other note taking software.

But no local indexing? What in the world are you thinking?

I certainly won’t put my medical information, business receipts, income tax scans or other similarly sensitive images in the cloud.

Looks like I’m back to MS Onenote 2007.

Was thrilled to switch to Evernote so I could lessen the grip of Microsoft’s tentacles, but waddaya know, Evernote’s even more insidious.

And to bill it as an upgrade worth paying for!

Get a set of brains to match, whydoncha?

Please, be cool. Everybody here want the succeed of Evernote and be happy to use it in general.

Thanks.

I am a convert from google notebook and will now have to seek out an alternative… too bad.

Anyway, thanks for good app

1) Where is the side-by-side view in Windows? I hate the top and bottom view. This is a MUST HAVE.

2) Put the tags below the title in the Windows version like the Mac version. I know it’s only one tag but annoying as heck when using Windows and Mac on a daily basis.

The Mac client is far superior. Hopefully from the blog entries this signifies the Windows client isn’t going to be a low priority in the future.

Thanks for the great product. I know some users are hating loosing local image search but for me that’s not a biggie as I sync my notebooks to my iPhone. If I didn’t, I could see how I would have more local notebooks.

Great work on the fantastic iPhone client (and previous update with local notes).

But more adware?! Not on my boxes. I’ll miss the image recognition stuff a little, but will gladly forgo it rather than have yet another nag added to my life.

Bye.

But…
The free-version ad screen blew that out of the water. It’s placed to interfere with the tags. It doesn’t just sit there, it’s an actual loss of functionality. In all honesty I would have preferred reduced account space to the ad box. Yes, you want to monetize the free version, but something about its placement comes across as a big “eff you” to the users of the free version. Most people are going to use the free version before upgrading. Reducing its functionality may not be the way to go.

I’d happily pay $45 for this program. $90, assuming I use it for 2 years? No. I am not sure what I am renting there. Permanent storage on someone else’s servers? I don’t need that. All I need is syncing between computers. Image indexing only when I am on-line? That’s another net *loss* of functionality.

I can certainly see where some people would find these useful features, enough that they would pay $45/year or $5/month ($1 for 100Mb of storage!?). Unfortunately there are a lot who don’t need that. I am already renting third-party server space, I don’t want more.

You have a great product, but I am not sure about your pricing structure. Onenote is bloated, clunky, and the tagging is a trainwreck. But it is more economical over the long term. Even if it doesn’t do it well, it does what I need. All the useless crap on it that I don’t need? At least I only paid for it once.

1. Make client side image processing available as a post-download add-in. Don’t maintain it, just offer it as is – 90% of people are perfectly happy with it (like me) and aren’t very comfortable with Evernote (or anyone) having complete access to all imported images, no matter what their privacy statement says (like me).

2. Float the ad box & make it always on top. This allows it to be moved around WHEN it gets in the way for someone (like having a 10″ screen).

Outcome :

1. Everyone stops getting narked with ‘Local’ notebooks going the way of the dinosaurs.
2. Atombook users don’t have the ads preventing them from actually using the software.
