All that remains is their Win32 desktop app, which has been ported to the Microsoft Store via the desktop bridge. Unfortunately, due to problems the company faced in 2015, they stepped back on their commitment to their various Windows applications, including the eventual discontinuation of their Windows Phone 8.1 and PC touch (8.x) versions. Evernote, on the other hand, with its stream of notes, is far better suited to keeping snippets, quotes, articles for future reference, especially when properly tagged.Įvernote, as with OneNote, is available on a wide range of platforms, ranging from full-featured PC programs to mobile apps and web access. The structured organization of notebooks, sections (folders) and pages within OneNote is a logical environment for keeping information that you access frequently or within certain contexts. Some people, myself included, actually use both daily. In the end, it often comes down to personal preference as to which system you choose.

Evernote, however, is also very popular, passionately used by many, and offers its own set of advantages, one of which is a powerful tagging system for storage and retrieval. OneNote is a powerful app, one to which Microsoft is deeply committed, and provides a structured-approach to note storage. Microsoft enthusiasts probably gravitate to the former since it is pre-loaded on Windows 10 devices, and part of Office.

While there are several note systems available, the two leaders in this field are Microsoft OneNote and Evernote. One of the biggest productivity cases for computing devices is note taking and organization. If this is you, take a close look at Nimbus Note, now available as a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. He reports on the background for the app's existence, how it works in practice, and tips on getting your data from Evernote itself.Įvernote users on Windows 10 Mobile (and otherwise) may be disappointed with the lack of serious app support from Evernote, and therefore interested in a third-party alternative that provides the same features and benefits.

Guest writer Lloyd Moritz brings us a review of Nimbus Note UWP, a worthy replacement under Windows 10 (including Mobile) for the likes of Evernote.
