Evernote Post

What did you like most about using Evernote to take notes in class?                 I like using Evernote because it is very user friendly and easy. The whole app is organized well. It is simplistic and eliminates the stress involved with transferring documents and pictures to other devices. I also liked that it was through the internet so you could never lose your notes. Another benefit to taking notes on Evernote is that I can access my notes from my computer at home or from my Droid. Taking notes on Evernote was nice because we didn’t have to write out everything by hand. This is beneficial to me because I can barely read my own handwriting. Overall I enjoy using Evernote and will continue to use it in my life. What problems or limitations did you encounter while using Evernote?                 I do like Evernote’s simplicity but I would have enjoyed a few more options. All of my notes look identical which is confusing at times and very boring. I would like Evernote to be a bit more like Microsoft Word which has plenty of fonts, colors, and bullets, to spice up notes. One pet peeve of mine about Evernote was that when taking notes in bullet form, if you wanted to make a sub-bullet that was not possible. I like to do that in my handwritten notes to make a broad bullet more specific. However, it could not be done on Evernote. Evernote was great on the iPad, but I found myself rarely looking at my notes on other devices. Especially school computers where it takes forever to load and is a hassle. Do you have any other feedback or suggestion on making Evernote better?                 As I previously stated I would love for Evernote to be more similar to Microsoft Word. I also think it would be beneficial if more students and teachers decided to use it so online note taking could be universal throughout the school. No one would ever lose their notes again! However that could only work if teachers allowed us to use our smart phones in class or if everyone was given an iPad. I am also not really aware of all the possibilities of Evernote. To me it is just a fancy way to take notes which can only be written in places with Wifi. It would be useful if Evernote had some kind of memory so notes could be taken absolutely anywhere. Then once internet connection was available the notes would be saved onto the internet and not onto the internal memory.
