Evernote Review – 10 reasons why you should download and try Evernote

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Recently I have been struggling to keep abreast of all the things I need to enable me to blog more effectively. It always seemed that the various elements I need to write an article were stored either online, in a browser or in different folders on my computer. An important link would be stored on Delicious or in a bookmarks folder I had forgotten I created, an image would be stored in the image library I have started to build up and any research notes would be stored somewhere else.

All of this was making wonder just how much time I was wasting navigating through folders and opening and closing my bookmarks manager. I asked myself if there was an app around that could help me better manage my research and notes. There is. Evernote.

It does exactly what I want it to and more, and best of all, it has a free version for users who use less than 40 MB of space per monthly cycle (premium users can store up to 500 MB of data, but it comes at a cost of $5.00 per month).

I have been using Evernote for a couple of weeks now and there isn’t anything I don’t like about it. I use the Evernote desktop app for Windows and it works like a dream. Maybe I will come across a few problems as I start to use it more, but, at the moment, everything is great and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to keep lots of different types of data in one file.

Evernote is available for the following platforms:
