EverWebClipper for Evernote - Clip Web Pages App Reviews

tl;dr - Works perfectly, negative reviewers are clueless or just impatient. I must say that Im rather confused by the negative reviews as this app works exactly as advertised. My guess is that most of the reviewers are clueless as to the complexity of replicating the desktop web clipper in a closed mobile system like iOS. The instapaper bookmarklet instructions are very similar (and do a similar function) though this app has FAR more capabilities. This has been exactly what Ive been looking for for quite some time. The full web pages come through to Evernote tagged and in the folder I want without requiring any keystrokes other than bookmarking the page. Here is the thing, if your expecting just to download the app and go your going to be disappointed. You have to connect it with your EN account and then do the minor hack (easy process) to make the bookmarklet work in Safari. Im running it on iOS 6.0.1 and, like I said, it work as advertised, as expected, and as needed (and no, theres no chlorophyll in this review).

Im looking at all the negative reviews and am scratching my head thinking, really? I followed the well-documented instructions, and it worked exactly as described, and quite well I might add.

I could understand the directions for making this work! Total waste of money. I hope they upgrade this so the directions are clearer. Not for the average iPad user, unless they do this.

Pretty easy to set up and use. Im liking it so far!

If you know how to use it correctly and effectively it works pretty well. The format of what is clipped is not entirely perfect but if you stick with styled its close. PDFing a website would be nice. Readibility integrated would nice good too.

Set up difficult. chinglish instructions difficult to understand. SUGGESTIONS; find someone who can do a better job at transliterating your instruction to English.

Why is it that really smart people, forget to find someone who can write English to create documentation!! 1. The Instructions do not tell you how to actually set it up, I have been a user and sometime coder of IOS from the start and I am totally confused. It asks you do do something IOS cannot do. 2. It never actually tells you how to work it. Oh you can fiddle with it and sort of get it to do some things in an convoluted way, sometimes. But it is far less painful to do it manually. SUGGESTIONS 1) GET SOMEONE TO WRITE UNDERSTANDABLE INSTRUCTIONS. Not understandable by the author, understandable by a user!!!!! 2) Seriously rethink your idea of charging money for something incomplete and poorly documented, some people might consider this dishonest!! I CERTAINLY DO NOT APPRECIATE SPENDING MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT WORK.

Either get a service unavailable message or the Evernote login box wont size properly on screen

Feel compelled to write a review to say that this app works just fine. Installation, as others have already said, is no more difficult than any other bookmarklet from Evernote, Pocket, etc. I appreciate the ability to set clip style, mobilizer, etc. This app works better than the current free Evernote bookmarklet as it does not require you to frequently sign in, the EN solution would not render the settings window properly, etc. Do agree though that some web documentation would be nice but it isnt that complicated.

I am with everyone here who likes this app a lot. The instructions are indeed straightforward and the app works exactly as advertised. You just need to be aware that theres a little bit of a lag after you clip so you need to be patient until you get the alert that the page has been clipped and then can fill in the header information.

This product does not work upon down load. Neither does it work after following the expectedly obtuse directions. The five-star reviewers admit as much and reference work-around and hack. That is not a five star product. Give YOURSELF five stars for being the geek who hacked and worked around to get this criminals useless product to work.

They have two apps, one for iPad and one for iPhone. They both use a custom bookmark and custom URL. HOWEVER, they dont use the same URL, so you need to make two bookmarks, one for each version. If you buy the iPhone version, you can run it on your iPad just fine. And since you dont really need to interact with the app much, the smaller app isnt a problem. Save yourself a couple bucks and even more headache of remembering which bookmark is which.

Does nothing.

Cannot make this work after a painful installation process and several tries. A total waste of money.

I can confirm the observations of other reviewers that this does not work. There does not appear to be any way of getting a refund either.

This guy just stole money from me. This app doesnt work. It feels like it almost could work and I was determined to figure out what I was doing wrong in the set up process .... Spent WAY too much time with no luck. What a WASTE. And so expensive. REALLY TOC???? And now I know not to buy any of your other apps as well. Dont trust TOC

I believe this app is fraudulent. Nothing to do with Evernote, yet gives access to your Evernote account. Do not buy. If you do, revoke access ASAP. I want my money back. I welcome contact by the creator if this app is legitimate, then I can write a better review!!

Most websites just dont work well with this. Particularly mobile versions -- and the developers made their clip box so big that "save" falls either to the left or right of the available space, meaning that you cant push save. Very frustrating the particular way idly doesnt work. Eliminate a few options on clip, slim down the entry box, and this could be a great app.

The installation of the bookmarklet is a pain. When you click in the app, it is supposed to install the javascript that you have to edit during the setup. It doesnt. You try to copy it out of the app so you can paste...you cant. Manually entering it is a challenge. Once you manage to get it set up, it works sporadically. Sometimes when you try to save a page it will open in the app but about half the time it doesnt. If it does open the app, part of the time it doesnt transfer the data over (URL and Title). Trying to change notebooks to save the page to fails. Or the save itself times out. Could be wonderful but it isnt.

I was really enjoying this app to get recipes into Evernote. Suddenly it started crashing all the time, and I cant even get one clip in.
