3 nanomatrix 3 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Wow, I just upgraded to v10. That was a mistake. I found the legacy version, that's better, but still... the developers act like their software is the only thing going on the screen. Get a clue guys, you're a Note Taking app. Stop trying to be a Publishing app. 3 Link to comment

1 Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted January 13, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted January 13, 2021 The good thing about Legacy is that it exports to HTML and ENEX and can print to PDF. Various other apps exist that can read one or the other of those formats, and an increasing number can import Evernote notes direct. If you need to leave, you're covered: the only (slight) difficulty is finding something comparable to move on to. I don't think Evernote can leave their legacy system running indefinitely - while they're not 'supporting' the old apps, I'd guess anyone running new and Legacy side-by-side is consuming more resource than someone solely on EN10. But again - until they can reasonably argue that the new version is truly comparable with Legacy, and some significant proportion of their users are using v10, they can't start to apply any pressure by closing it off. We're here (IMHO) for some months at least. So there's a solid chance that -maybe- the horse will learn how to sing. Since I'm continuing as normal on the last Public version with no intent to "upgrade" unless and until I must, I'm prepared to give them the chance. Plus I see no reason for crossing bridges until I have to - I have enough current issues without voluntarily adopting any more! 3 Link to comment

On the screenshot, you see what I have downloaded, which is the 6+ version. That should be the right version, but when I click on it, it installs the 10 version. However, in the installed programs (second screenshot), you can see the Evernote with 220 MB while the program I downloaded has 128 MB.

For the moment I'd suggest you reinstall the pre-legacy version 6.25.1 - there should be a release post in the forums, or you can download it from this external source: https://filehippo.com/download_evernote/ Then I'd suggest raising this with Support - https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new Link to comment
0 pansovic 68 Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Thanks, it appeared to be Microsoft's setting that directs you to the Microsoft store where I can download the EN, but the latest version. Now back on track with the old version. I can breathe again and move on with my work. Let's hope EN staff will start working very hard to fix the thousands of issues. 2 Link to comment
0 Ju P 2 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hello, "legacy version" is version 7.x The needed version would be the one just before the major upgrade (10.x) so we need version 9.x I'll try to find it somewhere else. Link to comment

If v7 is the public version before v10 then yes I feel safer to install it. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,072 Posted January 6, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted January 6, 2021 On Windows, the counter stopped at 6.25 (which is still a piece of 32bit-software, unable to run a nice dark mode, just to make some folks remember who filled the forum with it. Oh, I neeeeeed dark mode, or I will quit. OK, now you got v10 with a super dark mode: For YOU guys it is staying time !) Since on the Mac 32bitters were disallowed by Apple with Catalina, the wheel turned a little further: 7.14. Nice dark mode, by the way. With v10, full stop, full reset, new release for all apps. They just got the numbers mixed up, it sometimes feels more like a v0.1. 2 Link to comment
0 MeLoveEvernoteLongTime 3 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I cannot believe a company of this size would release such a steaming pile of dung and put out so many customers. I'm running a much fast windows PC than most people ever will on a network connection that is faster than most people have and it's completely useless. Everything I do results in a spinning green wheel. EVERYTHING. Utter garbage.

I cannot believe that people even work with this *****. It is the same for the Android version. I went back to the Legacy version and will wait until the very last moment to change to version 10. But, indeed, it is incredible what they have done with Evernote. They have destroyed a solid product. Then you have all these Level 5 members replying for whatever thing. Are they paid for doing that? How can they not be frustrated as many of us? The whole Evernote thing baffles me. I can't get my head around it. How can you put something like that on the market?

I'm not - it was a terminally stupid move to treat the new version as a General Release. Evernote should have made it a public beta for users to opt in if they were prepared to risk it. However they have rewritten things from the ground up and are on version 10.5 only 8 weeks or so after v10.0... Another 8 weeks might see some real changes - and some users are already saying that the new version is pretty good, though I have no intention of giving it a try as yet. Since the cure for most of what ails the new version is just to switch back to the old one, I see no reason for all the wailing and complaining. Either Evernote will fix this and everything goes back to 'normal', or they won't and you leave. Your choice at all levels, no drama involved. 1 Link to comment

0 Desert Dog 0 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 As I am downloading the legacy version I want to add my name to the list of dissatisfied users. Several features I use are no longer available, I can't find a way to have it run with windows startup, the new tile setup really sucks and they want me to pay more to even try to use it. I would have like to have seen some editor improvements but even that's worse. This is not software anywhere close to being ready for release. Link to comment
0 nking100 0 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I made the mistake of going to v10 on my home machine. So thanks for the link to v6.25 luckily I didn't install it on my work machine so can still work. I do not understand why Evernote did this v10 is Sh*t, the only good thing is dark mode but that's no compensation if you can't use it. FYI if anyone from Evernote reads these forums I pay for my Evernote subscription out of my own pocket, I have MS Notes provided by my company so I could use that for free. You are not making me want to stay. Link to comment

0 Coolohoh 2 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Came here because I had a new work computer, downloaded Evernote and bam, what is this cr@p? I tried the v10 beta previously and found it severely lacking. Now it's a severely lacking general release. Where is the preference/options menu even? How can I set things like creating a new note automatically opening it in a separate window, and having the cursor be active in the Title bar and not the note body? Where's the ability to customise my tool bar? I don't care for the fancy looking home page you created... I use it for work and personal use, and at work I'll only be in my work folder, I won't ever see the fancy home screen. And the bugs... Annotate a few photos and suddenly the next photo is huge ass AND out of place, covering the entire side bar.... I can't live with this! Link to comment
