Synchronisation between home MAc and work PC has been faultless. I think sometimes a cloud based system can only be as good as the wifi and links between. Me too.

I can take notes of basically anything, shopping lists, research projects, and more! I am only using evernote on my browser and my android phone, but there are no problems, bugs, or crashes ar all! The syncing proccess is also very fast and reliable for me too! I love evernote and I am now considering getting the paid version.

Kept asking again and again for my username and password. OK. Did it, Changed them. Still took me back to the same page where I could download it again. OK. I'll uninstall and try again. It sounds that good. Uninstall began at 1237 on August 12. Ran and ran. Stuck on "Gathering required information." After four hours, still stuck with the green pulsing line at about 80% finished. My network went down sometine around 1250, so maybe that was it. Tried to uninstall again nine hours later, network now up and running. Gets stuck on "GRI" again. Waited forty-five minutes. I surrender. Windows 7 on a Acer Aspire notebook running lots of memory and lots of hard drive capacity. Finally did a System Restore which ran painlessly and got me back to my machine without it.

Or maybe they changed it. Thanks for pointing that out.

The flexibility it affords for keeping track of bills and creative bits and bobs all in one place really makes it a winner. Good Review only one correction, free users can search for text in PDF. I just did a search for "insurance" in the free version of evernote and it brought back my flight invoices in pdf format. I have really found Evernote indispensable since I began writing part time.

The fatal flaw is the virtually non-existent export. Exports as HTML, loosing all tags, OCR, etc. This is the only reason Evernote is not beating Dropbox. Much better than Dropbox in some regards, but totally unusable in others. And their tech support sucks. Clearly just trying to get you to go away, rather than trying to solve your problem.

Android tablet has been chock full of bugs, from failing to install to failing run without connected to the network. I mean what is the purpose of sync if you cannot run their app without being connected to the network? There latest windows copy is also failing to sync even though I can access the web version of evernote. It still is failing to sync with notes that I've committed while typing this. I'm slowly losing my confidence with software developers and software test @ Evernote. I thought Evernote was a good idea, but I’m finding a surprising number of bugs with their software.

Really not helpful at all. Now looking for an alternative. Have to agree. left running for more than a short while, almost every other edit I make results in the Evernote Windows app crashing.
