There is a reason no one has ever tried to use two scroll bars for one axis before and it made navigating longer notes simply impossible, which had me almost screaming in frustration during mid-term reviews. Navigation was both counter-intuitive and difficult.I take notes because later I know I’m not going to remember what is in them, without tags I wouldn’t know what to search for. Putting in enough tags to make class notes useful takes forever and not doing so makes notes impossible to find. I do like tagging, but doing so in class is a waste of time. Tagging my notes was a waste of time compared to the ability to recess notes in OneNote.Manipulating indents was a huge pain, because Evernote created them as a set of spaces.Also, I found that once I’d created a bullet, increasing the indent was an exercise in annoyance and using enter to exit out of indented lists was counter-intuitive. I missed half of my first class just trying to figure out how to add bulleted lists without copying and pasting them from another program.That plan nixed, I went on to use Evernote in two out of my five classes. This just didn’t import into Evernote in a usable manor. OneNote uses a system recessed pages and my average notebook has sub-pages within pages within tabs. The first thing I tried to do was import some of my old OneNote notebooks into the program. Evernote, I figured, should be targeted towards the student market segment, so it should work just fine. Then I installed Evernote and decided to split my classes between them. So, I put OneNote on my new computer and restored my last backup. I decided it would only be fair to try the two products, side by side. Evernote’s ability to sync up to the web was so attractive that I considered buying a subscription right away. I hadn’t backed up all of my OneNote directory and to lose as much as I did was horrifying. However, right before the semester began, my aging Acer laptop literally melted down and I lost an entire summer’s worth of notes. I use Microsoft’s OneNote for everything from work to play and its database goes deep. OneNote has been my digital life partner since I first discovered it and I consider it the one piece of essential software on my computer. There was one problem, I already use note-taking software. Find” and “remember everything.” This sounded pretty cool to me, even without an iPhone. Actually there are more problems than just that, but the core of the issue is that, for a program that has the word ‘note’ in its name, it is pretty bad at just that.įor those of you not in the know, Evernote is an application for Macs, PCs and iPhones that is built for users to “Capture. The problem with Evernote is that it is absolutely horrible at taking notes.
