so folks in today's video i'm going to be going over the latest evernote progress and
updates i'm going to be giving you an overview of where i think evernote is heading the good
the bad and some of the future potential that evernote may hold and i also want to share why i'm
still using evernote because i get that question quite a lot and hopefully i can share with you
that today before we begin today's video it'd be great to have you as a subscriber we do plenty
of evernote features and also productivity tool features as well so please do make sure to check
them out below make sure to subscribe and hit the bell notification too so evernote recently
released something called tasks and it's available through early access on the sidebar a lot of
people have known about this update and it's definitely a great new addition to evernote seeing
as there hasn't been any updates in the last few years but evernote since they have had the new
ceo ian small have definitely improved overall now i want to show the first positive bits talk
about the negative bits and then summarize because there are negative bits and and there are positive
bits that i think should be highlighted so the first positive elements of evernote's releases
has been that they're releasing stuff tasks and home have been the biggest additions to
evernote in the last couple of years and they've definitely felt in place at evernote as abilities
that extend your productivity definitely tasks isn't anything new we've seen this inside of
tools like ample note and other tools that are in the productivity space and even ample note going
further with their task score tool so evernote aren't introducing or making the wheel here
but they're definitely adding something that needs to be added they're definitely
chasing the market in some capacity which is great news this is something we need with evernote
i think also their release of home was a great concept after initially thinking it would probably
be useless i've actually become very accustomed to it and think that what ian was saying about
the widgets potentially being the real killer or the apps inside of it being the real sort of
movement that evernote or face that's definitely exciting as a concept and something i'll speak to
later on in this video so let's flip to the bad side evernote 10 definitely introduced a fair
amount of bugs to people who are using evernote now the previous editions were pretty stable but
this new version seemed to have caused a lot of problems for people that were trying to download
evernote on different devices it sounds like there were a lot of stability issues a lot of crashing
issues and some of them are still going on from what i read in the comments reddit and on twitter
and it's something that the evernote teams seem to know about because every other or every two
weeks or so there seems to be an update squashing a few bugs that are very specific to the problems
that users are facing so there's definitely an issue in general but i think that comes when you
then tend to move a lot of stuff and in the last two years evernote seem to have moved a great deal
including their whole cloud platform and also some of the major stability and function structure of
evernote so talking about the future side of stuff i think the customizations and widgets on home
are really going to be the step forward this is where you're going to have more of an experience
than you'd expect inside of evernote evernote will hopefully leapfrog the market with this just for
the sake that they have the potential at adding things like machine learning and tools that will
take your evernote account a lot further just by using this from the home so widgets can do a lot
more than expected maybe there will be an api for this in the future but that level of customization
is definitely the future of evernote and i see them adding more and more features like
tasks that compete with other applications in the intermediary as a way to catch up with the market
before they potentially leapfrog it in the future now all of this is speculation i think that home
is definitely really well placed to being a companion to your productivity and it's something
that i think ian knows is got a lot of potential after chatting with him in our last conversations
he definitely mentioned this as something that was key for the future so one thing that people ask a
lot of is why are you using it francesco how are you using it in a daily basis now i am planning
a my evernote tour video on my own personal youtube channel however a lot of people ask me why
i'm using it above say notion now i am still using notion for work but primarily i'm using evernote
as my personal notetaker the main reason was because i got to a point when i was using notion
that i thought i might as well just slim down my workflow into evernote because i was already using
evernote in the background so it's very primal and very simple i was actually just wanting to stick
with one application and narrow down my use case for both into that this one app in this case i've
been using evernote for about eight to nine years so it made more sense going back to it so i have a
definitely renewed sense of optimism with evernote especially in the last three to six months these
new features and additions have changed the way i look at evernote and i've definitely been using it
more often that's probably because i drop notion but at the same time i feel more comfortable on
the platform and impressed at some of the changes they're making as a service i definitely see
evernote having the potential leapfrog in the market it'll be interesting to see whether they
are able to but i definitely am impressed at the way ian has brought the company from for
example from a situation where they were really struggling to now being a bit more interesting
i feel like that is a good position to be in for evernote right now anyway folks hopefully
