Transpose: A structured alternative to Evernote

Your experience regarding sync is odd - the model I use Evernote in, is I take notes on my laptop, and then, just before slapping it closed, I CMD+S, wait for the sync Icon to stop spinning (usually about 10 seconds) - and then slap my laptop closed. Then, while I'm walking, or in a cab, or otherwise not connected to my laptop, I bring up my iPhone, Click on the sync button there - and after a few seconds, I'm up to date. I've been using Evernote pretty consistently like this for the last year+, and I'm struggling to remember if I've ever had a sync issue.

You mention that you have taken notes on the IOS app - I've never done that, so that might be one difference between us.

I do have a paid membership though, and I recently downgraded from Premium to the new $2.70/month "Plus" category. It will be interesting to see if there is any impact to sync speed.

Mostly my experience is similar to you but I have seen the delay in sync a few times recently. I was a Premium customer for a year or so but their lack of a proper Firefox extension (back in 2013-14) made me switch to free. I upgraded to plus again recently.

This reminds me of how bad their Firefox extension was for a year or so. They introduced new version of clipper (6) for Chrome, Opera and Safari but Firefox stayed at 5.9 for almost a year. They had a long forum thread about this but took too much time! As a paying customer, I hated that and still feel that for a company with main focus on note taking and clipping, they should have been faster.
