![]() This negatively impacted me, as I had kept paying because they had been making years of promises to fix bugs that are STILL not fixed in Legacy. Yes, I think Evernote offended all its users when they refused to fix bugs in Legacy they had long promised to fix, and instead forced out a buggy, broken mess of a pre-alpha called V10 and forced paying customers to beta test without pay. The definition is "To be offended, upset, or negatively affected by something" Isn't everything people do for "personal" reasons? This time: no price hikes: Ĭan you clarify what you mean by "personal"? It's an idiom that has never made a lot of sense. So maybe Evernote can hang on to one part of it's value proposition- fanatic fans of the brand.Ĭase in point: The dishonest claim the OneNote has no tags (they insist they proved it despite zero evidence.) ĮDIT: Another day, another dishonest claim by another Evernote supporters. They deny without evidence, and when you prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, they don't admit it. I could compile a huge list of people here who refused to believe that Evernote's competition has similar features. ![]() But that may well be working for them, based on how many people are so into the brand they routinely lie about its features and the competition. Their many data issues seriously eroded Evernote's risk reduction value proposition. The price hikes, lockouts, and endless nags (to paying customers!) ended their price advantage, and Onenote's free full version up to 5GB and 1TB (plus all of MS 365 Office for the price of Evernote) made Evernote look way overpriced. But the disastrous launch of the buggy mess of V10 reduced both accessibility and convenience, to the extent competitors can match or beat them on both. ![]() The question is after years of fail, can Evernote ever win that value proposition back? I am doubtful.Įvernote will always deserve a place in history for helping pioneer brain extension software, but it is giving up so much ground to a huge batch of competitors who are sprinting far ahead of the old elephant, which is barely limping along, hobbled by self-inflicted wounds.Įvernote used to be first in class for five essential value propositions: accessibility, convenience, price, risk reduction, and brand/status. After spending over a decade with Evernote as my primary brain extension and paying for it when I didn't have to, I find its current moves inconsistent with holding onto any part its former value proposition.
