Evernote - Excellence!

I have been using Evernote (not an affiliate link) for nearly two years and really appreciate it. My favorite feature thus far is the web clipper - it's an app embedded in your web browser with a button you can use to clip web pages. You can clip the entire page, or a portion of it, or simply a screen shot. I have another blog - https://vaccinedepot.blogspot.com and use Evernote to save clips of webpages for blog posts. You can also use it to write draft blog posts. 

There are three levels available - Basic (free), Plus ($24.99/year) and Premium ($45.00/year). I started with the Basic, but quickly went with Premium because the price is so reasonable and I wanted to be able to save items (almost) without limit - with the Basic plan I would bump up against the monthly limit, with the paid plan I never have, though I suppose it is possible depending upon how you use it. You can upload up to 10GB/month with the Premium plan, but there are additional functions that come with each level above Basic. 

I have needed to contact customer support on a (very) few occasions and have been very happy with the service they provided - the issues have been resolved quickly and I found them to be very responsive and helpful.    

Even if you are not a blogger it can be very useful - it can be a great place to keep recipes for easy access. I also like to use it to store contacts/business cards - a quick scan with my phone's camera and done! I don't need to have the card continue to clutter up my wallet or my desk. 

Once an item is in Evernote it can be organized into Notebooks. You can also assign multiple tags - so between the Notebooks and Tags searching for an item is easy. 

I suspect that if you try Evernote, you will like it!
