• Handwriting Note Sketching: Automated scripts to convert rough lines into perfectly straight lines and circles makes life extremely easy for note-taking. I have always enjoyed the capability of writing notes directly in the Evernote software using my Wacom Tablet PC's
• Organizing Notes: Not only can notes be organized by notebooks and notebook groups, but one can also tag notes to organize relevant thoughts/projects within the same notebook.
• Related Notes: Automated system which reviews the contents of current notes and recommends related notes in your notebook. I cannot tell you how many times I've forgotten about another note buried in the archive related to some projects I'm currently working on.
• Note Searching - Easy to search through documents, handwritten notes, photos, and PDF documents stored in your notebooks to find exactly what you're looking for. My search hasn't failed me in eleven years, I can always find a note/thought I'm looking for.
• Cross-platform accessibility: This was the largest draw for me originally. The ability to jot a note on my work PC, and have access to those notes on any device, even a smartphone with no internet access (offline mode activated).
• Note History: Excellent feature added eight years ago which tracks note changes over time. It's been quite handy to recover data accidentally erased and remained unnoticed for weeks/months.
• Excellent clipping application for PC: low resource usage and I appreciate how different hotkeys allow the user to chose how to take a screenshot (save to Evernote, save to desktop, save to clipboard). I cannot even estimate how many times per day I use the Evernote screen clipper function.
• Note Synchronization: Notes are always synchronized so the most recent version is presented across all devices.

• A versioning system of the work done or the editions that have been saved in the files, or a tracking of changes between one version and another would be fabulous
• An improvement that would be asked would be as previews or suggestions of the type of file that could be beneficial to use in an edition
• The redesign of the panels is that of the analyzed document, the edition and the changes in my opinion need a resizing to have a better view of the work

• Formatting was a complaint of mine for a long time. It is not as robust as Microsoft Word, but it is improving.
• The ability to do simple calculations. Say you have a list of ten items and want to sum the cost - that cannot be done in Evernote automatically.

• The system facilitates working life in information management. An order of magnitude faster than self-recorded recordings
• Now all the information in one place: notes, business cards, scanned documents, contracts, saved web pages. And a unified search system! It is very important
