Hi all,

Thank you for your continued feedback. We released v8.0.3 a short time ago to address several top issues including the crash on launch issue that many users were facing after updating from v7.x.

After v8.0.2 was released, we realized that the app was crashing before the crash data was getting to us - so while we fixed our top known crasher, we unfortunately hadn't fixed the crash on launch that was affecting many users in the Evernote Community. After getting some crash logs directly off of devices from some affected users, we have fixed an issue with upgrading from v7 to v8 that affected many users that would not happen for those who deleted and reinstalled the app. 

What's fixed in 8.0.3:

  • Fix for crash on launch affecting many users
  • Note list sort by Title is now using the correct sort order
  • Notebooks in Stacks (in Shortcuts list) are now using the correct sort order
  • Tapping on a Stack in Shortcuts now opens a note list with all the notes in the Stack
  • Regular View: Tapping any note in the note list of search results no longer jumps to the first note
  • Searching from the Notes tab highlights search results in note editor
  • Searching from the Notes tab by tag no longer shows notes in the Trash
  • Duplicating notes with ink images allows modifications to the duplicated ink image
  • Updates to Reminders no longer change updated date
  • Imported file from document picker should be placed at the cursor
  • Offline notebooks progress bar is shown in recent notebooks section
  • Offline search banner disappears when connection re-established
  • Highlighted text is now synced properly
  • 'Add Notes' field of Biz Card note no longer goes away after deleting its content
  • Many other bug and crash fixes

You can download the Evernote for iOS app from the App Store.

As always, please let us know what you think.

Cheers!

Just upgraded to 8.0.3

EN still asking me to enter my iTunes password. I'm on iPhone7Plus.

Same problem for my wife on iPhone6sPlus.

Same problem here - on iPad mini and iPhone6S (both latest version of the app and iOS)

In the old iOS version and also in the new version are for a long long time the Czech letters not fixed in the notes titles and list items titles. And still no fix for that so far. Just embed also a "Latin Extended" for the font you use for note titles titles (as you do for the body font). Looks really ugly in local environment. I've submitted a ticktet (ticket# 830283) in the past, bud still nothing is happening :(  See the screenshot.

Although I do not suffer much from this version, the app does become slower and slower until I delete and reinstall it.

Although I have complained that Evernote 8.0 should be launched, I don't expect the new design should be introduced in a hurry, at least, to avoid the killer bug like the crash.

I suggest the company can tell us that they are working hard on the new version, but not that 'coming soon' marketing strategy! You can explain that redesign needs time, although this can be risky in terms  of competition, but I'm sure your reputation can be saved.

8.0.3 crashes on startup on both iPhone and iPad. I'm on the latest iOS and iPhone 7 and latest iPad. This should not be happening. 

Same issue. Embarrassed at a meeting when was unable to access any meeting materials via iPad Pro 9.7" or iPhone 7+ both on latest iOS after updating this morning to 8.03. Just told my IT director to nix looking at EN for enterprise.

Restarted both devices. Issues remain. Uninstall and reinstall is a next step but really, anyone who has a job and depends on your product cannot make that the standard.

What's driving me crazy with this new release is that it keeps asking me to sign into my itunes account. I have to put in my password. ugh!!

Also, I detest the fact that you took away the ability to scroll down my notes with the alphabet on the side, so i could tap down to the "s" notes, for example. This has severely slowed down the efficiency of the app. New releases should not TAKE AWAY functionality, it should ADD to it.

Until this is all fixed, can we please have the option to return to v7. It was stable and worked just fine. Personally I don't much care for the new UI so for the sake of an interface change I didn't need or ask for, I get an app that not only continually keeps asking for an Apple login, but every time I go back to EN on my iPad, it tells me the app crashed and would I like to send the report to EN!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Dear Evernote Team

 

I noticed a sharp performance drop when writing with the apple pen or scrolling up and down -- on the iPad Pro. Is there any way you can bring the app to the performance levels of version 7 again? In the past, it "felt" like using a paper and pen; this feeling is lost now with the performance drop. 

 

Please help!

 

Kind regards, Martin

First off, I would delete the EN app. Restart your phone/pad. Reinstall EN app. Cross your fingers.

Not keen on this idea. I have a large volume of offline notes and a slow rural 4G broadband connection with a data cap. What I need is for EN to stop busting things that aren't already broken. What started as an aspirational dream to create a 100-year company seems to be degenerating into the flash then crash model that we see all too often in the technology sector. Sad really, it had so much promise.

I'd back off from offline data for now.  Concentrate on getting the app stable and when that's resolved, download your notes

Just out of interest, how much data?  I'm wondering if there's a breaking point

I am deleting my account - the updates, the crashes, the repeated need for my iTunes password - today was the last straw - it crashed during in important presentation - I reloaded it later in the day - now I get friggin pop ups every time I click on a note to try the Presentation Mode and use Google Drive - and it will NOT go away.

I've been a long time user - but you guys ruined a good app

I have advised dropping the offline data which will eliminate the cost/time of the download

I said "reasonable option" but "reasonable blanket prescription" would have been better wording. Many civilian and EN folks have said, "just reinstall from scratch" without pointing out the loss of un-synced data and without pointing out the need for re-downloading data. Not all users are savvy enough to recognize when a workaround option will cause data loss or waste valuable data usage.

FWIW, I was one of the "crash-on-start" victims of 8.0.0, 8.0.1, and 8.0.2. Finally, 8.0.3 (mostly) worked on my iPad. It gave a popup about EN crashing. But after I send the error report it behaved ok. 8.0.3 even (mostly) worked on my de-phoned iPhone 4S. It had been failing with all previous 8.0.x releases on the 4S.

So I've graduated to the "not completely failing every launch" group to the "launching but failing but mostly working" group.

But I'm really getting tired of the whole repeated Apple login bit. I haven't seen an explanation of why EN is demanding that. The stumbling launch bit isn't very enjoyable, either.

Is there any light at the end of this tunnel? So far, I've just seen difference shades of black.

If at any time the Evernote development team gets to disable any version prior to version 8.0; Or Apple's development team, when upgrading iOS, will determine that versions prior to 8.0 were unusable, as there are several alternatives: 1) Try to hold those versions of Evernote earlier than versions 8.0, in some way; 2) If that is not possible in any way, since those who prefer the versions prior to 8.x, we could migrate to another application without canceling the Evernote subscription; 3) Do the same as in option 2) and cancel the subscription; 4) Make that policy change to disable an application on the part of Evernote and Apple (when updating iOS, that can happen at any time), because that policy has no practical sense and still commercial sense. Companies do not lose money if users keep an old version of an application, as that would cause us to continue (in the case of Evernote, for example) with the subscription without migrating to another application. Otherwise, at least in my personal case, if I can not use the version of Evernote that I want to continue using and I CAN NEVER have the option to CHOOSE all the options I want to configure (my home screen in Evernote , Present mode, etc.) or retain the option I want for my UI, I have no other alternative than to cancel my subscription. I do not know if this option is the one that is best for Evernote SHAREHOLDERS if this becomes more widespread ... I think they should think about it, do not they?

I agree with Bikernz. Reinstalling from scratch is not a reasonable option. First it burns any un-synced data on the device. Second it forces a reload of all that data that has been cached on the device. For metered internet users (like B and me) squandering our limited data to compensate for a clumsy update is unacceptable. For EN to suggest is inconsiderate and cavalier. Finally, if you have more than one device struggling with post-update crashes, forced downloading (times N devices) multiplies the negative impact of the upgrade (apologies to the word "upgrade").

Thanks 

Curado...

Everyone is getting the same issue with the requests for iTunes passwords.

For your notification issue, I suggest opening EN and selecting the Notebook drop down. Select "Reminders" and then open the reminder that has a present or past due date. This may clear your notification.

True ... but I suppose a massive migration of non-conforming Evernote users NOT ONLY with the user interface or the options of the old versions of Evernote that have been dropped, but with the CURRENT PERFORMANCE of ALL versions subsequent to the 8.0, I think it could be described as a disaster for THEY. Anyway, with this user interface, there are better applications than Evernote. For example, Bear, which I am already using and to which I am subscribed and whose subscription is cheaper than subscribing to Evernote, with a difference: WORKS CORRECTLY.

P. S. Still using Bear occasionally, just as a "training" for a hypothetical migration, I still use Evernote on 99% of the occasions and I still LOVE Evernote UNCONDITIONALLY. That's why I'm still subscribed to Evernote. I would really like to know what are the technical, practical and commercial reasons why Evernote (essentially Evernote) does not enable the OPTION to use the updated application and, at the same time, to choose to use the previous versions to the updated version (I think when updating iOS, companies that have their applications on the iTunes Store, are not in serious trouble if they support the old versions of their applications, even if those old versions may lack technical support). For the same reason, is it technically complicated to enable those options that have been dropped and to be able to configure "old-fashioned" Evernote in an updated version? Would that be commercially damaging to the company? Would that be technically harmful to the application or too cumbersome to do? Truly, I would like to know the answers to those questions.

(Just posted this in the App Store - reproducing here)

 

Hi all,

 
This is my 7th year using Evernote and my loyalty is flagging fast - I'm ready to bail.
 
In the past I've raised issues regarding the editor, it's strange behavior such as typing off screen, odd line spacing at times, appalling table function, constant hanging when pasting from innocuous sources like Outlook email, lack of fundament functionality such as format painting or paragraph markers  all of which others must experience as well and more - *but* everything else seems to get an overhaul except the core of the application.
 
I've recently been using One Note for work and the editor in One Note  is a polished piece of work compared to Evernote.
 
This afternoon, the Evernote app upgraded on the iPad & iPhone and the User Interface has changed - apparently for the better but right now a piece of information I need can't be accessed - on the iPad or iPhone. I had to go to the PC to find it. I can no longer tell if a sync is in progress. Why a note shows up in the left pane but is blank in the right pane needs me to stop what I'm trying to do and figure out the new UI.
 
If I didn't have so many notes, many of them  with encrypted parts and hyperlinks, it'd be in the bin by now.
 
For this type of change to be a priority over a total rework of the core note editor seems to highlight that the Marketing/Product Dev people have a very strange set of priorities. If they disagree, put out an honest survey asking Evernote users what they love/hate/want regarding the editor *and* if the UI really needs to be tweaked as a priority over the editor.
 
I'll go for a walk around the block before I see what's going on with the new UI but I'm *really* disappointed with the Evernote team responsible for the UI changes and management's lack of vision in sorting out the editor. 
 
Wrong direction folks - totally.
 
Bart

Sad 8.0 update. Sad note editor bugs on iOS/Windows/Mac apps. Not renewing my EN subscription after this month. I will spend A LOT of time to move my work to the Microsoft's note editor. More reliable and its free.

OK, so like an idiot, I just updated to v8.0.3 on iPad, and now the app crashes so consistently that it can't be opened at all. I'm really trying to keep loving EN, but you guys are making it hard. Fix please?

 

UPDATE: I managed to solve this problem (which occured on both iPad and iPhone) by uninstalling EN and reinstalling. I'm not quite so aggro now. :-)

You are right Evernote Web is not supported on iPad browser. But, try CHROME (for iPad in App Store) and use the pull down menu (right top corner) and you'll see that you can open a Desktop session. Then Evernote Web will open on your iPad (mine is Pro). Not very friendly, but a good work around, better then nothing I guess.

Thanks to both. Yes, it is better than nothing and because of that 

Evernote should provide easy direct visible access to it at http://evernote.com on all browsers.

That and cifip's postings here for these 8.0.x releases should point to the browser alternative for those experiencing difficulty.

The release notes indicate that Evernote for iOS 8.0.3 fixes a crash at startup. But for me this problem actually started with version 8.0.3, while I didn't suffered from this problem in previous versions. The Evernote app is now broken; it crashes every time I tap on the app icon. Even after a restart of my phone. I didn't yet try to complete delete the app and reinstall it. 

I own an iPhone 6 running on iOS 10.2.1.
If the Evernote staff needs additional information from my side to troubleshoot, just let me know.

Once you set a reminder, you will not be able to go directly to the date setting option.

Confirmed - Its a two step process

Step 1: To create Reminder notes, there are three options

  1. New Note: Long press on the new note icon and select Reminder
  2. Existing Note: Click on the ... then Set a Reminder
  3. Widget (currently broken)

Step 2: To set a date, Click on the reminder icon, then click on Set a Date

When things settle down with version 8,
if its still this way you could create a feature request to make it a one step process
You'd get my vote

Come on, EN, this cannot be serious - 8.0.2 worked, I tried to update to 0.3 on one of my Ipads, and - surprise!!! - it is crashing at startup again.

Please refrain from rolling out what is not rolling, or worse, stopping a rolling system (8.0.2).

Pity.

Evernote still has its head in the sand.  This is a MAJOR problem.  Search doesn't work.  Missing notes.  Extremely slow.  Asks for iTunes password every launch.  Those are just the functional problems.  The new layout with the hidden menu for tag searches is baffling.  Can't they just listen and give us the good old app back.  The new version is a huge failure. Paying customers should not be drafted as beta testers and kept waiting for supposed bug fixes.  It isn't just "buggy."  The whole thing is a disaster.

Well, unlike DTLow, I understand the point of not being enthusiastic about re-installing.  It doesn't feel right that users have to perform a hotfix on a formerly working app and to name this "the only method" (basically wasting the time of x-thousand users times (say) 15 minutes until all preferences are set again).

Unfortunately, the way I see it, once we updated to 8.0 we got stuck on the EN roller coaster, and we're not going to be able to get off until EN figures out how to stop the ride.

I don't know why I still check in on this forum, maybe I am the type that likes watching a train wreck.

8.0.3 fixed the search problem but it was a week too late. I have moved on to Bear. I don't like it as much as I liked Evernote 7, but it works and it's faster than Evernote 8 which has glacial performance on the latest hardware. The downside is that it is apple only, so if you aren't all in on that ecosystem, it's not a suitable replacement. But it's way better than one note at managing notes. 

Utterly baffled by the 8 release. It feels like it was pushed out months too soon with no understanding of how the customers actually use the product.

When you build a product that is meant to be the core of people's workflow, you can't push out a release that doesn't work. They needed to pull the 8.0 release immediately and revert to 7. Astonished they have not yet done so. This is affirming my decision to move on.

I have 2 Notebooks. One for Offline access and one with everything else. All is Organised by Tags.I feel Tags are a bit slow to navigate in the new version

What I'm missing are the saved Searches,  i saved searches with multiple tags i regularly use. 

Sort by tag should be possible, and a possibility to inverse the sort order

Reminders on the other hand work much better in the new version, I love the Badge on the Icon

I think there is an alternative. I think you should consider downgrading to an earlier version than 8.0. Unless you strongly prefer the changes made since version 8.0, user jacobberger posted a 4-minute video, in which he indicates how to upgrade to a version prior to version 8.0. The other option, I think is to expand the complaints not only to the Evernote Twitter accounts (all of them) but, as I was doing, to the accounts of those who have decision-making power in Evernote. For example, Nathan Fortin @nfortin That option I tend to think can lead to at least they stop publishing the "wonderful" that is the new Evernote and that they (and others) CLEARLY know the multitude of problems with updates. Here I leave the post where jacobberger puts his video: https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/103411-somebody-please-post-evernote-7181-ipa-file/

8.0.3 crashes on startup on both iPhone and iPad. I'm on the latest iOS and iPhone 7 and latest iPad. This should not be happening. 

Yeps, same for me - a fix to the fix to the fix is needed; now!

What I'm missing are the saved Searches,  i saved searches with multiple tags i regularly use. 

When you press the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the screen you should see your saved searchs.

Strange, I can only see recent searches...

I think I had that same situation when I first installed 8.0, and I believe an app delete/reinstall fixed it. I'm assuming since you posted in this forum that you're on 8.0.3. If you aren't having any of the issues that have been described elsewhere in these forums, then you may not want to do a delete/reinstall. I can think of two things to try to maybe force the saved searches to show. First, save a new search on your idevice and see if your old saved searches appear. If not, from the web or a desktop/laptop version, save a new search. Make sure you've done a manual sync on all devices. If they still don't show, restart your device.

Hi, i use Evernote religiously everyday! One of the most beloved features for me is SEARCH. With each iOS update, it seems like the ease and functionality of the Search feature diminishes more and more. I would like to see the Search feature improve, please! Before, searching would jump to the result, it no longer does this. Please bring back this feature! It is very difficult to scroll through miles of notes while scanning for a highlighted result. Also, I have been asking for a 'find next' option within the Search feature. To my surprise, this is a hidden feature of the Desktop application, so I see that it's totally possible with Evernote. Would be nice to see this implemented throughtout all Search features on all platforms, not just hidden. PLEASE!! &thank you!

My fallback is my backups, or the web platform

You are right Evernote Web is not supported on iPad browser. But, try CHROME (for iPad in App Store) and use the pull down menu (right top corner) and you'll see that you can open a Desktop session. Then Evernote Web will open on your iPad (mine is Pro). Not very friendly, but a good work around, better then nothing I guess.

Great tip! I will give it a try, thanks so much!

Asking for feedback and not responding to 5 pages of detailed and mostly friendly input is a way of communicating that I find strange. 

Why does Evernote run this forum and ask for feedback and then not give any answers? A simple statement like: "we have understood the problem and are working on it" would be sufficient. 

I am using Evernote professionally and always thought EN is run by professionals. This communication strategy is not.

I have recommended EN to a lot of people in the past. I will stop doing this after reading this thread.

Only a fraction have backups or easy access to them. Web not available on iOS.

So access to data is not critical?

Evernote doesn't need a strategy to recover from this?

Just adding my voice to the frustrated masses of people here doing likewise. I don't know what has happened at Evernote HQ but the company has really lost its way. Premium member for 4 years but about to say f**k it and move everything to one of your competitors. 

Endless crashes, App store login request pop-ups, blank ios notes (that are fine on mac and the note is there in ios because it shows up in the preview but when you click into the note itself... blank), awful awful awful UI/UX (seriously, fire your entire graphic design team immediately and start from scratch).

Endless frustration.

Don't get me started on the 8.0 redesign. Whoever signed off on that is a complete moron. Sorry if that sounds harsh but it's true.

Awful use of space, icon positioning, the entire UI is just atrocious. Just objectively bad design choices and lack of attention to detail.

Ultimately it's the CEO who is signing off on this stuff so they should get the blame but I've no doubt there's some lower level managers and engineers who are clueless too. It's astonishing to say, but both the ios and mac apps from 4 years ago were superior in every way.

Here's a tip for the current management: every new product idea you have plans for? Scrap it. At least shelve it indefinitely. Every single one. You need to get back to basics. Your flagship product, a simple note taking app, is a shambles. You're lucky you have a product where moving to another platform is such a pain in the ass to do because I guarantee you a lot  more people would jump ship if it were easier to do so.

Its critical for me.  
If I only had access to one single device/platform, I'd hold off on the upgrade until things shake out

>>Web not available on iOS

I access the web platform on my iPad; as I said, it's my fallback solution
Its not optimized for IOS, but mostly workable

>>Evernote doesn't need a strategy to recover from this?

My understanding is that Evernote is working on resolving issues
They are issuing hot fixes; we're currently at 8.0.3

I had V8 dot whatever running ok. Just updated to 8.0.3 after updating iOS to 10.2.1 and I have the crash on launch issue. This is hopeless. It looks like quality assurance has yet again been delegated without consent to the user community. 

Same here. 

Was running fine until 8.0.3 

Now can't open or use it.

I think there is an alternative. I think you should consider upgrading to an earlier version than 8.0.

You're right, I missed downgrading as an alternative to the reinstalling

There are several processes described in the posts.
They require the use of a desktop computer and iTunes

And of course you can hold off completely from version 8 until it becomes more stable.
Unfortunately, once you've upgraded to 8, your options are limited

I am joining the party as EN user since 2009.
I seem to have caught every possible 8.0.x-bug possible...

After installing 8.0.x the app crashed. Installed anew.
EN slower than before (both on iPhone 7 Plus and iPad 2).
Asking for iTunes Store login each time.
Stupid red 1 on appsymbol.
The new layout feels counterintuitive, but that may be because I am to old fashioned.

I just react here because you have pushed out three updates that are quite buggy.
Have you not tested before releasing?

On 8.04, IOS 10.2.1, iPhone 7plus

  • requests apple ID on every start up of EN
  • auto mode to capture docs works occassionally (used to work every time)

EN these are serious productivity issues that are core. Combined with other complaints from long time users and it points to a big problem. Conversely, I keep hearing much positive from users of OneNote. I am dabbling with it now. I'd rather not learn a new tool. If I  was a freemium user, I would live with it, but I'm paying Premium for both a personal and work account. EN team you are making the tool less functional and stable. More features are not always better.

2) I can't stand the "red indicators" but the new Evernote has 1 indicator "red circle" - been trying to get rid of it for 5 days - HOW !!! ??

I went into reminder view (All Notes > Reminders) and closed all my open reminders

The other option is to turn off the badge notification in settings

Really... I do not know what the REAL benefits of these "updates" are. I mean from 8.0 update. The "speed" is not as they say ... In fact, there are multiple complaints about Evernote behaving slower. The so-called "simplicity" and "quickness" to create a note, is not what they say: In Version 7.18.1, in iOS, I can create a note (audio, reminder, etc.) EVEN without entering the application (iPhone, 3D Touch); entering the application, I can also create WITH A SINGLE CLICK any type of notes. They have suppressed the Presentation option, making it HARDERLY MORE DIFFICULT to read on an iPhone without that option (when it becomes necessary to use that option); deleted the Home Screen and now, at least to me, it was difficult (with the 8.0 and following updates) to find my notes. With Home Screen, I can see ALL OPTIONS and I can decide which one to enter (Shortcuts, Notes, Notebook, Tags, etc.). Also Search (in V. 7.18.1) works PERFECTLY. Words are highlighted without problems when searching and also WITHIN the note (before the 8.0 update). In the old version (which is the one I use, since I could upgrade), I never had (nor do I have now) synchronization problems; I do not have problems regarding "disappear" notes. Finally, the so-called "simplicity", I insist, is not as they say: when I open Evernote, I have a quick overview of all my notes and all the options (as I already said). I think I would upgrade to a new version if Evernote gave me the option to have those features (Home Screen, Presentation, etc.) AGAIN, so that I can CHOOSE how I want to configure Evernote: in the "old" or in the "modern" way.

Despite all my complaints, I will continue with my Evernote subscription because I LOVE Evernote, but IN THE "OLD" version 7.18.1.

Thank you for letting me have a free opinion in this space and for not censoring my criticisms.

I agree version 7 was much more functional and performed better than 8 which is now only a "pretty" capture tool. Very disappointed

For me the app was working ok under 8.0.2.  Now it is crashing on start.

Furthermore, I don't have all my saved searches available in the app.

And once a day it asks me for my Apple Password.

Overall not happy.

My problem and sentiments exactly.  The only question I have as a paying customer is WHEN is this problem going to be fixed so I can access my data?  If you can't fix it, cancel version 8 and roll us back to version 7.

Confirmed - Its a two step process

Step 1: To create Reminder notes, there are three options

  1. New Note: Long press on the new note icon and select Reminder
  2. Existing Note: Click on the ... then Set a Reminder
  3. Widget (currently broken)

Step 2: To set a date, Click on the reminder icon, then click on Set a Date

When things settle down with version 8,
if its still this way you could create a feature request to make it a one step process
You'd get my vote

If you set the reminder there is one more step, not to increase distress, can be set directly before

I'd hold off upgrading to version 8.0 until things are stable

For those already upgraded, I'd recomend implementing this hotfix release; but only if you're sober :)

Severe bug in synchronization. Notes edited on iOS client. Windows client is idle, not being used to modify the note in any way. The original notes contain a number of ink/handwriting images, no text other than some white space to separate the ink.

The synchronization code is making the following errors:

  1. Duplicating ink images. Often the duplicate is an earlier version of the ink image.
  2. Re-inserting ink images that were deleted from the note.
  3. Losing ink image edits. This is the most severe issue as it is non-recoverable. The edits are just gone.

In additition, duplicating the note makes the following error:

  1. Incorrectly converting the ink images to ordinary images (after which it become impossible to continue editing them on the iOS client).
