Introducing Offline Notes on mobile
Guest Anibal I. posted a topic in Community Announcements,
Hi all,
Make sure the info you need is always available, even when Wi-Fi isn’t. Now Personal, Professional and Teams users can select specific notes to access when their phone or tablet is offline—without having to download an entire notebook.
That way, you'll never lose access to vital information or documents.
To make a note available offline, swipe left on a note in the note list then tap the green download button.
To see all your offline content in one place, tap the “Offline” tab in the sidebar.

Roundup of our Q3 updates
Guest Anibal I. posted a topic in Community Announcements,
Hi all,
Since our last updates roundup, we've been burning the midnight oil. In the past three months, we've launched or upgraded a bunch of features that will help you organize your life and accomplish more.
Mostly, we've brought in a variety of time-saving shortcuts, but there are a couple of productivity boosters in there as well. Here's the Q3 rundown:
Just drag to tag
Tag your notes quicker! Simply drag a tag from the sidebar or the tags menu directly into a note to apply it to that note.
Manage your progress
You'll now see a progress bar when executing several actions at once (like deleting notes or editing tags), so you can see at a glance how far you have left to go. Even better, if you change your mind about it, you can cancel the actions mid-progress.
Get to your preferences faster
We've made it easier for you to adjust the app's settings by combining them into one big Settings menu. You can instantly open the new menu by clicking Cmd + , on Mac or Ctrl + , on Windows and Linux. And if Settings is already open, you can use the same shortcut to close it. Or just open the menu by selecting "Settings" from the Evernote title bar dropdown.
Open your shortcuts faster in iOS
Our latest iOS widget shows you a list of your top shortcuts from your home screen. Find the one you want and open it in Evernote with one tap.
Get around faster on your tablet
We added a mini sidebar to make it easier than ever to navigate the app on your iPad, tablet, or Chromebook device. Now you no longer have to pull up the main menu to access those tools.
More keyboard shortcuts
Cut your working time even more, thanks to keyboard shortcuts on Android/Chromebook tablet and iOS/iPad. And if you use an external keyboard for your iPhone or Android device, you can use them there as well!
Give these new features a try and discover how much time they’ll save. We’ll let you know when our next round of improvements is ready for prime time. Until then, make sure to update to the current version of Evernote on all of your devices so you have access to the latest and greatest.
To see the full list of all our recent enhancements, check out our archive of release notes. If you’re interested in how we deliver updates, read this article to see how we share new releases with our customers.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Take care!

Roundup of our Q2 updates
Guest Anibal I. posted a topic in Community Announcements,
Hi all,
Since our last roundup in April, we’ve added improvements to help you cut down on the busy work and focus on what’s really important.
This includes new functionality to help you tackle recurring tasks with less effort, find what you need faster, and take action in the app with fewer keystrokes, clicks, and taps. Here’s a rundown of the biggest enhancements we made in Q2:
Make your recurring tasks easier to tackle — One of your most requested features is here! Tasks is more powerful than ever with the addition of recurring tasks. You can now schedule repeating due dates and reminders for your tasks. When you mark the task as done, Evernote automatically resets to the next due date for you.
Take action in Evernote, right from your iOS home screen — All of our latest widgets can help you tap less and do more:
Actions Bar: One tap starts a new note, opens the camera, or creates a new task. Perfect for capturing fleeting ideas and moments before they slip away. You can even search for an existing note right from the widget.
Notes List: See a list of recently updated notes right on your home screen. A single tap takes you directly into the note of your choice, so you can access existing information and add new content in fewer steps.
Tasks List: Check in with your tasks at a glance and open any task to access its details with—you guessed it—just one tap. Note that the Tasks List widget is available for Personal, Professional, and Teams accounts.
Ready to save some time? See how to set up a widget on your iOS device.
Android user? We see you. Here’s how to set up widgets on your Android device.
Linking just got easier — When you think about all the on-screen navigation it takes to add a link, it’s actually pretty cumbersome, but now there’s a more intuitive way. Simply copy a URL, highlight the text in your note you want to link, select ‘Paste,’ and voila—link added! We love how much time it saves, and we think you will too.
If you like stacks, you’ll love this — Stacks are a great way to organize related notebooks, but now there’s a way to find the information in your stacks faster: filter by stack when searching within Evernote or using the filtered notes widget—and find what you need with less guesswork. Note that this functionality is not available for Teams customers yet, but we’re working on it.
These are just the highlights from our recent updates. There’s a lot more where this came from. We’ll let you know when we release our next round of improvements. Until then, update to the current version of Evernote on all of your devices to make sure you have access to the latest and greatest.
To see the full list of all our recent enhancements, check out our archive of release notes. If you’re interested in how we deliver updates, read this article to see how we share new releases with our customers.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions.-

Recurring tasks are now available!
Guest posted a topic in Community Announcements,
Hi all,
I’m pleased to announce the launch of one of your most requested features: recurring tasks!
This new capability makes Tasks even more useful, helping you manage all those regularly occurring to-dos – from weekly project updates week to bi-yearly dentist appointments – with ease.
When adding a due date to a task, you’ll now have the option to make it repeat as many times as you want. Preset options like “daily” and “weekly” are available, or you can set a custom interval. When you mark a recurring task as complete Evernote automatically resets to the next due date for you.
Recurring tasks is rolling out on Mac and Windows version 10.40, and iOS and Android version 10.35. iOS, Mac and Windows customers can get the latest version today by heading to the app store or by using the direct download from our website. For Android customers, the update will roll out over the next few days and will be available to you soon.
Special thanks to everyone in our Early Access Program who participated in the beta and shared thoughts and suggestions on recurring tasks. Your feedback helps Evernote continuously improve.
Learn more about recurring tasks on our blog. And if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to @Anibal I. directly.-

Offline notebooks, new iOS version.
Since this week's updates, my offline notebooks were cleared, and the process of restoring them is glacial, I don't think a single notebook is available offline anymore, despite several hours leaving it running with the display always-on. As far as I can see offline notebooks - a key feature - no longer work, which also makes the app a little slower, as everything has to be fetched from the web. Have others been noticing this? I have seen nothing in the forums...is there some trick to make the process of saving notebooks offline work better?

Okay, that's enough for me this round
Since v10 came out, I have used Notion as my main day to day app, while keeping Evernote as my repository of data. Every couple of months, I come back and check it out. Until BS took over, that was mostly a waste of time. After BS, things began improving fairly rapidly, so I began spending more time with EN. Finally, a couple of months ago, I thought I was back to stay. The mobile app finally did what I needed it to and the Win Desktop app was snappy and responsive. The only problem I had was Internal links failed about 20% of the time.<br> <br> Then, they started releasing updates and fixes. The fix for internal links took the failure rate from 20% to 80% rendering it useless. They released 2-way sync on calendars which if I understand correctly, is not working for anyone. Today, I opened mobile up to check my grocery list at the store and got the dreaded update. It ran for an hour and got to 8%. Then I had to take a call. I didn't close EN, but obviously it wasn't in the foreground. The update started over. It's been running for over 2 hours now and is up to 27%. After complete uninstalls and deletion of data, on its worst day, it never took more than a half hour. Sorry, I need my phone. I know I can modify the settings it doesn't time out and run it overnight, but frankly, it's not worth the trouble and effort.<br> <br> Keep the cards and letters coming, folks. I'll check back in a few months. If by some miracle of managerial foresight, BS has someone following these forums, maybe just spend an hour or two testing the software before release. Just an idea. later

Introducing image transcription: you can now extract text from your images, including those containing handwritten text, with ease.
From the 10.103.3 Release Notes: I think I like the feature, but I'm not sure I like the how the popup bar obscures part of my image. It's also kind of jarring for it to keep popping as you scroll through a note with a lot of images. The way it's implemented now, you definitely can't miss it though which is maybe what they are going for. (Reminds me of the the short-lived AI Edit popup button: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/151154-requests-for-option-to-toggle-off-ai-edit-and-edit-note-toolbar/)<br> <br> 99% of my images don't need image-to-text transcription either so it's kind of an annoyance that it is so prominent. Maybe after a few weeks or so we'll hopefully see it make it's way to the '...' button menu after clicking on an image.

Audio Notes
Over the past month, I've started using the Audio feature to record notes and journal entries, since I've found the transcription tool to be fairly solid. However, over the past couple of weeks, the audio notes have become unreliable from a tech standpoint. Here are glitches I've encountered recently: - If I'm recording a note and the display turns off, the recording will sometimes stop. If it turns off and I notice it right away, I'll see the red microphone icon lit up on the lock screen and I can go back in and see that it's still recording. But, after an indeterminate period of time, the recording will stop. What's worse is that the recording will just disappear. Evernote will show the entry in my notes, by default labeled Audio, but my recording isn't there. - This morning, I was recording and paying attention to the screen to ensure that the display stayed on (I went into my iOS settings to change the AutoLock setting from 1 minute to 5 minutes to help prevent this issue). However, when I saw something that I wanted to take a photo of, I stopped the recording and opened my camera app. When I went back to Evernote, the audio file wasn't there. I really want this to work, but I'm frustrated by these bugs. If you're walking and recording for 10 minutes and then find that Evernote stopped at some point and didn't save what you did, the whole point of "Never Forgetting" is undercut. I realize that I could just pull in a file I recorded with Voice Notes, but I'd like to keep all of this under one roof. Jeff

Problem with Latest Evernote Release – Spreadsheet Updates No Longer Reflecting in Notes
I'm having an issue with the latest Evernote update that's caused me to waste a bunch of time. I regularly use a PDF tracking spreadsheet that I open directly from a note, make changes, and save – Evernote would always update the note to reflect those changes. Until today. Now, when I update the spreadsheet, something odd is happening. The note no longer updates as it should, and the thumbnail preview isn't refreshing, which has always worked flawlessly until now. So, cheers to whoever’s behind the scenes messing this up! You've really done a number on it. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Alternative to Evernote? After 6 Years, am so Done.
I've used this app every day for 6 years, but I feel like all it does it now is squeeze things smaller and smaller, and constantly try to wring money from me. To start with it was free, the main reason I used it for my novel project; I never needed premium features, it was great the way it was. I'm quite poor and paying for an (expensive) app is a luxury I cannot afford. Suddenly there was only one note allowed per notebook. Annoying and kinda pointless as a 'notebook' but at least my loads of old notes remained. The relentless, unyielding pop ups to upgrade to the paid version seem to be more and more frequent with every login, and are officially getting on my nerves. The features just keep getting fewer for those who can't pay. Suddenly I can only use one device? Nah that's it, I'm out. Unless things change, it feels pointless using Evernote at all. Sorry Evernote. If you're going to push away low income people, you're going to lose a lot of users :(
