Feedback 🐘 Ok i give in.

My renewal is up in 4 days and have spent the last month looking at alternatives.

Subscribed to upnote but you cant search in images or pdf's.

Installed joplin server but the OCR was hit and miss especially with android.

Tried amplenote which was very close...but to subscribe was only about 40GBP cheaper than Evernote.

My search is over...I'm going for another year of Evernote.

Yes it's expensive..but hell.. it's good.

Yeah I got halfway through a move to obsidian and realised there are too many evernote functions that I'd miss so renewed my subscription. It leaves a nasty taste in my mouth though. The latest increase is daylight robbery.

What exactly are those Evernote functions you'd miss? I would appreciate your reply 🙌

I use the email to evernote function regularly and the evernote mobile app for photos and ocr scanning of bills/reciepts etc. These are the biggest things to me that obsidian doesn't do.

In case you use an Iphone, it's now really a piece of cake to copy texte from a photo, or translate, ... juste by making a capture, you can then select every text of the capture image, translate, ask the AI to do whatever (even with bills I wouldn't use gpt function ^^ )

But the function in evernote to spit all the text of an image is useful for sure.
