Phil Libin at the Evernote Blog:<\/p>\n
\n I got the wrong sort of birthday present yesterday: a sincerely-written post<\/a> by Jason Kincaid lamenting a perceived decline in the quality of Evernote software over the past few months. I could quibble with the specifics, but reading Jason\u2019s article was a painful and frustrating experience because, in the big picture, he\u2019s right. We\u2019re going to fix this.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’m a big user of Evernote in 4 ways; the web-clipper<\/a>, the desktop apps<\/a> (both Windows & Mac), Skitch<\/a> (again, both Windows & Mac) and the iOS app<\/a>. Here’s my honest opinion on those four:<\/p>\n
\n
- The web-clipper crashes a lot, regardless of platform. If Chrome is hanging, and it’s not Flash, it’s usually the Evernote web-clipper.<\/li>\n
- Both desktop apps are pretty solid in my day-to-day use. <\/li>\n
- Skitch has come a long way, but the Windows version is still awful. Really bad.<\/li>\n
- The iOS app had a big redesign in iOS 7, and for the most part I agreed with the design direction. However, it was crashy at launch (it’s been better lately), and is still far too slow to launch. I wouldn’t trust it to record audio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Props to Phil Libin for writing that blog post. I really hope Evernote make 2014 a Snow Leopard-style<\/a> no-new-features<\/em> year for them.<\/p>\n
