It doesn’t integrate with any apps other than via the ‘share’ option. It’s simple, provides very basic formatting capability with tables and checklist being about the extent of ‘additional’ functions. In attempting to overcome this situation and continue to take notes on the iPad, I tried a number of options. Although not a biggie, it’s a limitation for cross application integration. This is the same if you’re using a note to reference any online material, go back to the note and try to find where you were while reading…aaargh!!! This is friggin’ frustrating.Īnother aspect of Evernote also causes a bit of grating is the lack of support for markdown syntax processing.

You then have to scroll down to the point you left off…which Is fine if that’s a scroll to the bottom. The BIG BUG is where you’re in the middle of reading or writing a note (in the middle of a conference or webinar), you switch away from the note to another app, then back to the note, and guess what the note has scrolled to the top of the page. The problem (and the reason for this post) is the crappiness of the Evernote iPad app with no sign of a resolution on the horizon. I’ll log into the desktop or the laptop in the evenings or weekends, but predominantly use the iPad during the work day.

I got a new iPad in late 2018 and have been using it as my main work tool since. I still have an account but it’s the free version used mainly for emergency transfers between myself and my family members. I used to pay a subscription to Dropbox but stopped when they moved away from supporting encrypted Linux folders. I use IFTTT (with varying degrees of success) to forward attachments from Gmail to Dropbox.although limited success over time as a result of inconsistency in billing providers.

I use google mail as a mail provider and have set up a number of rules to forward incoming emails to Evernote where I sort them into relevant folders on a monthly basis – Accounts/Income/Expenses/Receipts. The web clipper is also incredibly useful for storing your own copy of web content that may or may not be around for longer (e.g. Examples are IFTT and Gmail integration, the scannable app and the Skitch screen-grab app. Overall it’s been pretty good with a few integration features that really expanded its’ use case. I’ve been using Evernote for general note taking and document archiving since about 2012. I’m predominantly an Apple system user (iPad, Mac Mini Desktop, MacBook Pro, iPhone).
