   I, personally, prefer Notesnook because it is more user-friendly, and has a better UI for desktop and mobile. Notesnook being a newer app, there are some bugs though the developers are very fast with their responses and fixes, and you can even chat with them in their Discord.

   I switched to Joplin after 10 years with Evernote which used to be god in the early days) Then along came Notesnook which seemed better an dit has been, but recent problems which are seemingly difficult to solve kinda make me wish I had stayed with Joplin. Its easy to move from Joplin to Notesnook, but not back it appears. NN will not export to .jex.
