0 PietroA 15 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I got a suggestion to you users: press the ‘Send feedback’ in the menu and beg them there to switch off alt + s on the Windows desktop app. The developers obviously do not see us here in the discussion forum. If many of us do so, they may notice. 2 Link to comment
0 Paweł Wojtal 22 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I finally find out how to request official support from Evernote. It was so hidden from me that I was not able to find out unless I go to the "Change subscription" menu and fill in the reason for downgrade the subscription. But anyway, with this kind of an approach to the customer I will refine my Evernote needs. 1 1 Link to comment

Latest Evernote greeted me with blank (white) screen and non-functional menu. I already lost hope they will solve issue anytime soon. I wonder how many developers they are currently employing, but not fixing app-breaking bug is not a way to go in a long run. Link to comment
0 Kolmir 162 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 There is no point in keeping a faith in Evernote. They will not change for a better any time soon. They updated their business model with the fast food approach. They only care about the most obvious and unsophisticated needs of the majority of average users. I have already happily moved 80% of my notes to another platforms. This month I plan to migrate the rest, and then cancel my premium and bye bye 😉 2 Link to comment

0 PietroA 15 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I find it a pity that they don’t understand Windows better, but I’m glad that Evernote changed. I think they do a very good job in modernising their software, and I don’t expect that they can incorporate every single old feature in that process at once. For a good story, see: https://www.engadget.com/evernote-cross-platform-note-taking-app-redesign-interview-130026972.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZWNvc2lhLm9yZy8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJmK7KNwtC2R5GOuyQM-6-TAOF7kVpOFm6Hi3Ek-I8zwQuV8GtRD72zbHo2UBOOFPWeJV5_pt2O_qP6eGjGOZ7EoE2ZPZ2h1_B5XH9FmqOWG5tfLHaWYjB7zGqEdnh2O0t5LsheDjyxAHMMveT78YawxQTonDirIl4pdSFduarnS I keep working with the web version until the issue with alt+s is solved in the desktop version. 1 Link to comment

0 Kolmir 162 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 13 hours ago, Barabasz said: What apps have you chosen? I clip web articles which I want to read later to InstaPaper - it also automatically send them to my Kindle PDF's, docs, presentations, etc. -> business related (i.e. in MS Office format) are stored in OneDrive and private in Google Drive/Docs. Then I use links to them in various notes. Most of my notes have been imported to OneNote (full MS Office version) and some (short/simple) to Apple Notes. As you see I have chosen diversification and I'm happy with. I only miss EvN tags a little, but generally OneNote structure is more convenient for me. The best thing is that when I switch between various notes/notebooks/tabs and OneNote always remembers exactly the last position of cursor in the text. Therefore I can work with multiple notes without any scrolling and searching certain fragments again and again. ON remembers all recently used notes and the last cursor positions even after Windows restart. 3 Link to comment

We cannot write in our language any more also in all other softwares that are installed on our PC, not just Evernote. Instead of copy/paste a kind and understanding message to us, please raise some level of alarm to the programming team. Regards, Pietro 3 Link to comment

Legacy is faster, more stable and has more features. No reason to choose v10 over v6.x so far, even if they solve system-wide keyboard conflict with several keyboard layouts (PL-PL included, I am the victim). New Android app is a performance disaster too - before I switched form 3 years old flagship to this year's flagship (with 12GB of RAM and newest CPU) I could barely use it, not to mention 30s wait on app start.

0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,761 Posted February 4, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted February 4, 2021 A user running into this bug (yes, it is one, quite obvious) can install legacy, and be done, until EN corrects it in the v10 client. This starts to sound more like an ego thing than a real world problem that can’t be solved. There are many more deficits in v10 that make users run on legacy than this, most of them concerning ALL users. IMHO EN is doing good to first solve the things that everybody needs, before moving in on the specific issues for smaller user groups. 1 Link to comment
0 Rafal108 25 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 If you take into consideration a) how easy it is to change (they could just include simple switch options like for check spelling) + b) how many people it involves (all EN users from few countries, look at the popularity of this post on the forum) + c) how much it is debilitating (not only you cant write in en, but every program is affected) - it should be made PRIORITY. v10 has features which are not in v6 like colours highlights which for some are essential part of productivity. I dont understand how they can focus their resources on new features like home button where basic features like this short-cut bug or even more problematic - the lag/slow issue is not solved. 1 1 Link to comment

In my perception current activity is cash grab and transition form power-user app into casual user base. Link to comment

If you installed through an AppStore, it may take a little until it has passed the AppStore process. The direct install is available from the EN web site. Link to comment

+1. This totally destroys my workflow. I have to keep Evernote closed indefinitely - not usable ATM. Please, fix this.

Alt + s shortcut (for taking screenshot) blocks the entry of a very important polish letter "ś" (s-cedilla, upper dash). (Evernote 10.2.4, Windows 10)
