Evernote on the other hand, has established itself among more seriously users who love its offline support and straightforward, powerful interface.
The result is an app that looks like the offspring of all three popular services. Perhaps the most striking difference between the Spring 3. The company appears to have taken cues from the digital pinboard for its latest look. Everything from the notebook backgrounds, to the way photos are displayed feels more grown up.
The comparison to Pinterest becomes apparent when you look at a notebook in the gallery view. Photos, if included in a note, are displayed prominently as tiles.
However, unlike Pinterest, each image must be large enough to fit the space or the quality is compromised, which can make some notebooks look a bit ugly. Like its predecessors, Springpad 3. Unlike previous versions, the new app plays up the ability to search for something to add to a notebook.

True, the streamlined aspects of Evernote and Pinterest may have their appeal, but nobody wants to jump between applications if they can have it all in one package. By diversifying, Springpad may be holding itself back in the short term, but after they work out the kinks and make a layout that is easily navigated, they will jump ahead.
Hi Ryan! Glad you enjoyed it! Hello, i feel that i saw you visited my weblog thus i got here to return the choose?. I am attempting to to find issues to enhance my website!
I assume its adequate to use some of your ideas!! April 24, — pm. How much did Springpad pay you for an obvious advertisement. If you were truly objective and did just a little research, you would find that not only does the vast majority of current users disagree, but they are out right pissed at Springpad for this move. Just as Apple thought they knew best in the early nineties so goes Spring Pad until they learn there lesson.
It only makes you look like an asshat. As for the rest of your comment, there are definitely enough users making noise to get Springpad to notice and try and act on their complaints — you may have noticed bits of conversation regarding that and the fact that Springpad handled the change rather badly here in the comments. So yes, enough negatives to make an impact, but not enough to change the landscape.
Catch is a good service. Much closer to Evernote than the old Springpad, but definitely taking steps to differentiate itself.
A closer alternative for those who want task management in a pretty and free app would be Wunderlist or Wunderkit. They are a bit light when it comes to information capture, however, so you may need to supplement. Same goes with Producteev, which is a personal favourite of mine for task management. Nor do I believe presenting them with absolutely no instructions will retain current users. I believe they took an original app and then tried to copy various business models to make it more popular.
Furthermore based on your responses, you will never convince me that you are actually using this app. I use Springpad quite regularly, actually, but I stopped using it as a task manager well before the change.
I never found it to be a good app for me in that respect, so I dropped it and moved on to something else, choosing to use it for its strengths as they related to my workflow: visual bookmarking, occasional collaboration, and as a shopping assistant. It more than makes sense that the people who use the app to manage their workflow are shocked, angry, and ready to jump ship, especially when many woke up one morning to find their data gone — even if only temporarily.
Springpad lost the trust of many users in one fell swoop. If they can pull up from that nosedive, though, to believe they will attract more users. At that point, I will at reasses if I can use it. I think it is another issue that even after the backlash, I have still not seen much in the way of communication from them.
Their rating in the app store is plummeting by the day. Hopefully, they regroup and communicate their vision better to users in the future. I emailed them personally because I lost so much data and at best I got a terse response. In the meantime, I will try your task app suggestion. I agree that it is all about communication at this point. Some documentation and use cases would be helpful as well. I may do something like that in the near future. Daniel, himself, is a good resource, and generally more than willing to share what he knows.
Who did you contact at Springpad? My experience with their support is pretty positive, especially with Katin. It could be that you caught someone suffering from an overload of angry emails — not that that is an excuse, of course. I would agree that previously they have always responded in pleasant manner. So maybe it was someone who had received several hostile emails. It was definitely not Katlin. Katlin is always nice. I will let you know if I have questions about Producteev.
Thanks for your help. Capturing items in both web and mobile is slow…which is a shame because the android app was very quick before. It just needs some tweaking for usability and it would be ahead of most paid apps in my opinion. Thanks for the comment, AJS! I am definitely in agreement with you — hopefully other will hang in there, too. April 28, — am. April 28, — pm.
Evernote is a great and now better alternative to SpringPad the latest version. I never got around using Evernote as I loved the old Springpad. Now that I have transferred everything to Evernote, I find it a great alternate app. Probably in some ways even better than the old Springpad.
April 30, — am. Thanks for weighing in, Buzz. Evernote has definitely added some flexibility, but it is not capable of doing half of what Springpad can do old or new. That said, however, it is still the better place for general note taking, and it uses the power of minimalism to great effect. How did you find the transfer?
Did you email everything, clip from Springpad web pages, manual copy and past, or…? Evernote has a great web interface. I just kept my phone open to the Springpad note on my phone in question and typed it into the Evernote web application. May 2, — am. May 11, — pm. Pinterest is visual social book marking. Full stop. Pinterest does not support: tagging items categorising items ie. I love Pinterest, but it really is about book marking and the social stuff.
It is also nowhere near as good for collaboration as either Pinterest or the new Springpad. I could never convince him of the useful-ness of Evernote or Pinterest yes, he tried both he just wanted to use shared folders in Dropbox all the time. We have started planning a Europe trip using Springpad now, and even he admits it is useful!
Now, I understand that if you were using this heavily for your own user- generated notes, or heavily for task management, the new design might not be as powerful. Thanks for this, Telisha. Please keep us updated is things change in either direction for you. That too for free. Personally I use a dedicated task manager for tasks because I need speed of entry for new tasks and calendar integration for the way I work. I love the fact you can now filter which notebooks you can now see on your screen by category or tag, in theory anyway.
Collaboration might not be for everybody but it will certainly be useful for many. Thanks AJS, I am glad someone else shares my sentiments! It truly is leading the pack in the all-in-one solution IMO also.
So for me, the new Springpad has allowed me to replace 4 apps with 1. Depending on the features they bring out in future, I could potentially cull another 1 -2 iPad apps as well. Neither Evernote, Pinterest, or Dropbox ever allowed that kind of streamlining for me. The addition of OCR would be fantastic — the one thing I want from Springpad though, is the ability to open a note in its own window, especially by desktop shortcut.
Very important for my personal workflow — on a computer, anyway. Thanks AJS! I agree with your assessment. I do understand the issues some people were having, but overall, I still find the update a step forward. Just visit the Google Play store. Check out the recent post 3. And see the installed graph which dips hugely after this 3. May 12, — am. Checklists, which I use as packing lists, are still not searchable for items.
June 11, — pm. Agreed with most of the negative points. I am frustrated too. However, my love towards Springpad still intact. June 15, — am. Two months into Springpad 2. I have learned to reluctantly live with the limitations of the new version compared with the old version. I have even considered using some of the sharing features now to push some stuff out to others without having to add a step of creating an e-mail.
In that sense the new features are a plus for me. I have found that for accessing info and creating new tasks or checklists the Springpad Android app actually functions exactly like I want the web app to function. It is a HUGE productivity feature. Filing something you clip form the web using either the extension or the clipper should be a lot easier.
The Mobile app does store data offline, so that is some solace, but it would be nice to work on a bigger screen. When you create a task with a due date you cannot set a specific time and date for any reminder. ALso, task due dates and reminders are not flowing to Google Calendar, so I end up having to manage two task systems. This lack of integration with GCal is how I stumbled onto Any. Instead when I need to find something I simple use the search function.
I still use SP. I just have to use it differently. And I cannot do all the things I used to be able to do with SP. I sort of fell like I took my car into the shop to get a tune-up and when the car came back they had taken out the back seat and the radio.
The engine runs well — better than it ever did. June 15, — pm. NIce description of some of the issues. I never used the old version of Springpad and was attracted to the various feature of the new version that supports private sharing and collaboration. The new tool is, in theory, exactly the kind of tool that I need to reduce the set of tools that I require to support collaboration on the front end of projects and potential projects. Unfortunately, the interface is often inconsistant making the mastering of the tool much more challenging than necessary.
Worse yet, there are deficiencies — in fact I would call them glaring bugs — when using the iPad app that totally ruined the experience for me. The people that I wanted to collaborate with me over this tool, would not tolerate this kind of UI. They are all heavy users of Apple products for a reason. July 4, — pm. I HATE that new version. A search for that brought me here…. June 26, — am. Or, you can just manually type in a new note. Everything else fades into the background, on purpose.
As we become more mobile, and our files and ideas confusingly live in the cloud, or on another computer, or wherever, having a series of simple digital mood boards sounds like an appealing way to get organized.
