Anthony569 0 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The new upgrade or whatever you did is a disaster. The app lags, the interface is horrible, the app crashes, and I cant even sort by notebook? I never had any performance issues with Evernote prior to this update. What happened to not fixing what is not broken? It seems like many others are having similar issues so I hope you can fix this soon as many of us don't want to waste our time posting here to complain. By the way, it is impossible to figure out how to contact any of you. You actually want me to pay for a broken service to have the privilege of emailing someone that can help me? Link to comment

beaker353 3 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Could not disagree more EdH. I don't consider a boiler-plate/non-technical/non-helpfull response to a obvious coding bug a week and a half later, excellent. Even by Microsoft standards that's pretty much suck. They did this to themselves by releasing a product into the wild that had no business being there. Bugs of the stature that we have seen in this v8 release should have never made it out of the beta team. -EM Link to comment
tassiecelt 57 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Again, the issue was finally fixed not only by reinstalling but revoking all devices and signing back in. Since then the iPad version has been working fine. note, this tip came from this forum NOT from tech support, so no credit to Evernote for being helpful. i can't help wondering.... I was opposed to their involvement with Google, I had a feeling something would go pear shaped. Maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment

I meant to infer the people that man the @EvernoteHelps account were, in my experience, top notch. Given you aren't paying for the product, I don't think you have a huge platform to stand on to complain that their support mechanism isn't up to your standards. Support is one of the more costly things technology companies have. Link to comment
beaker353 3 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 EdH, you would be incorrect. I've been top level paying member for going on 4 years. I wouldn't be putting up a stink if the features I was paying for worked as advertised. Be careful what you assume. -EM Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,524 Posted January 26, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted January 26, 2017 If the features you're paying for aren't working, I'd recommend sticking with the support team and getting through the 'boiler plate' checks patiently. It's standard with any support case to check all the obvious and boring minor issues first and save the root and branch rewrites until there's obviously no other possible alternative. Link to comment

beaker353 3 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'm guessing then you are a Evernote fan-boy. "Evernote can not do wrong", right? Getting in communication with support/development and the support/development having half a cue are two VERY different things. I have four easily reproducible bug tickets currently unresolved. One of those goes back to late July 2016 (ticket #1746790 if anyone cares). It's likely some combination of incompetence, simply not enough support/development staff for the workload, and apathetic staff. I've worked on both the support and development side of software and hardware so I know standards that can be met if a company is motivated to make it a priority for their users. These days it seems public shaming, like this forum, is the most effective way to motivate a company to take care of their dirty laundry. And I will continue to make a fuss until they start making product stability a priority over adding features. Features draw users in at a much slower rate than major functional bugs will drive them away. Link to comment
