A brilliant piece of software, but if you use OneNote, your eyes are closed so don't worry about it

Here is a great website that help you to make the most of Evernote:

You get premium for a year from O2, then you have to start paying, one of the benefits of Premium is

Load notes faster on mobile devices by keeping notebooks offline

which kind of implies that the free version loads notebooks slow, which is certainly my experience ... and the startup time on my phone can be an issue ...

Ah - I confess I am a fan of OneNote on Windows (took a while, but it won me over). I thought you had to subscribe to Office 365 to get the Cloud version, but if not, then thanks! Will DMOR.

Not anymore. You can share the OneNote file on OneDrive or another cloud service such as Dropbox - OneNote syncing best practices. OneNote for desktop (OneNote 2013) is now a free download on Microsoft OneNote | The digital note-taking app for your devices.

Another vote for onenote. Even better now you can embed excel spreadsheets in it as well.

[woohoo]

+ 1 for Onenote. Also there is an app for taking pics of receipts, whiteboards etc and it magically arranges it so its more readable and uploads to your onenote. I wet my pants when thinking about it.

I've had it with Evernote with its bloated and complicated UI and constant nagging me to upgrade.

Anyone recommend an alternative? should have these attributes:

- Capture text notes, as thoughts occur sitting in meetings and so forth. Don't need photos, voice, audio blah blah

- Seamless cross platform support, accessible from IoS phone, Android tablet and Windows PC and the web.

- Free.

- Uncluttered and responsive UI.


I've been using Google Keep, which is 90% of the way there, just no IoS support ....

No idea what you mean about bloatware, as for updates, have you tried turning off "Automatically Check for update"

I think its bullet-proof system, even more so that O2 users get Premium for free

Simplenote. Has a web interface and there's a Windows app called ResophNotes you can use with it too. Text only, lightweight.

All the proper peer-reviewed research states that Evernote is not bloated and almost never needs updated.

I've been using OneNote and now it's free now on Windows (both desktop and ModernUI versions), iOS and Android.
