- Unlike Turtl, Evernote is 1) unencrypted/not very secure privacy-respecting 2) has lost user data in the past, both by software and security errors, 3) closed source (less trustworthy than Turtl), 3) doesn't support linux, 4) feels different on each platform, 5) feels bloated and slow after you put in a sufficient number of notes, 6) The company have and can again make privacy-violating changes to their privacy policy. Turtl is in beta, but aleady infinitely preferable. JohnFastman • Mar 2017 • 15 agrees and 6 disagrees

- Google Keep is part of Google's range of services that enable Google to make money through harvesting your private information, including your notes, location, search... Turtl is encrypted and cannot do this. They cannot harvest, lose or give away readable versions of your notes. Stay away from Keep. JohnFastman • Apr 2018 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees

- Nimbus note is an Evernote rip-off and it does nothing to protect your privacy: it stores your data in every bit as unsecure and unprivate way as does Evernote. Turtl, on the other hand, is open source and uses end-to-end encryption, so cannot lose readable versions of your notes to hackers, govt, etc. JohnFastman • Apr 2018 • 0 agrees and 3 disagrees

I have a love hate relationship with my turtl.
I love it on the desktop, but on the phone I keep getting login errors. Yes I am using the correct password. I can login on the computer but on the phone, half the time it doesn't work. Nor does it keep me logged in as it is supposed to do.
