Farbauti 50 Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 I just upgraded to v.10 and it makes me wanna puke so much I won't open tickets for each of the many, many issues. I just collected by "best of" (or better "worst of") here: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s166/sh/ba4c0b30-c14f-7a63-a341-ccb370eddbb5/17d21904e85b20c43c3156462b31b777 Going to downgrade now... 7
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,996 Posted November 10, 2020 Level 5 Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks for sharing ... share is not working for me. I think nobody is happy with rel.10. The updates so far have improved the usability, but I have decided to stick with legacy for a while. Too many things still missing, like support for my ix500, send note as email, import folders etc. 2
Farbauti 50 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Posted November 10, 2020 I went back successfully to legacy version 6: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314 Still I cannot believe Evernote has no quality assurance or usability testing at all.... 3

JMJJ 5 Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Came here to see if there were some basic fixes to the disaster that is v10. New version doesn't start automatically in Win10 -- no big deal right? Too bad they took out the tools->preferences-> option box to change basic settings. Can't adjust the behavior on double clicking the tray icon to open the program, I have to right click and go open. (slower) Whoever green lit this release needs to be dropped a few pegs in the organization. I'd be way wayyyyy more PO'd if I was paying for it as well. 2
AdmiralP 89 Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Regarding point number 2 "My screenshot hot-key is gone." in your list of issues Use ctrl+alt+H to bring up the Evernpte Helper to bring up the Quick Note window; at the bottom left of this window there's a "scree" icon, click on that to geta screen clipper cursor to allow you to clip the screenshot you want and ut'll create a Note of that clip for you.
vogelap 27 Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Agreed. Version 10 is a large step in the wrong direction. Seems they've lost touch with their customers' usage and feature requirements. Now they're behind the 8 ball attempting to salvage their shrinking user base. 2
Nanani 9 Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Just went back to legacy as well. No access to preferences is app-killing nonsense. Having red squiggles under every note that is in a different language is ridiculous. Give us all the functionality of the old version before you pretend this is an upgrade.
sbennett3705 3 Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Me too, back to Legacy. Since I integrate EN into my business ($140M with 410 people), I simply can't use v10 due to speed, lack of features, slow use, slow sync. Frankly, I'm concerned if EN can remain my solution into the future since they describe Legacy as a "temporary solution". 2
newwurldmn 3 Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 I just downloaded version10 and reverted back to version 6.25 I am concerned about the viability of Evernote in my workflow since 6.25 will be retired at some point. What's crazy is that with this release the helpdesk is saying it will take 2 weeks to respond to email requests. And there is no chat option. I am on my own to read Evernote's mind in figuring out if my required features are missing or placed somewhere else. If I have to relearn a whole new app, I might as well relearn the app of a trillion dollar company. 1
Patrick74 4 Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 Just adding my two cents here. The new upgrade is terrible. I've used Evernote for years and this is probably the worst upgrade I've ever seen. Simple tasks are now taking twice as long, going to go back to the earlier version and will start looking at other options if these numerous issues aren't fixed. My latest hang-up: clicking on "shortcut" hide the note list so I can't see the other notes related to the shortcut I clicked on. And I see no way of changing that setting. Sigh... 3
cleverusername 20 Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 I've used Evernote for over nine years. I was a part of the beta for v10, and I kept telling the rep that I must have a bad install file. So much stuff was missing, my installation could not be correct. I felt like there was never a great understanding of my concerns, or it always came back to "this is only a beta." Which begs the question, why beta test anything that isn't close to final. I couldn't use the beta version to actually work, so I completely missed the lack of font selection in the editing toolbar, a basic feature which is available even in this forum. I really was surprised earlier this week when I installed v10. I don't know about the other beta testers, but my displeasure was clear. Sorry ya'll; I tried.
Vaaclav 0 Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Thank you for sharing the link to the "legacy" version. I've switched back to it (GREAT!), as the new version is missing a lot of basic things that I use regularly in my workflow. In case Evernote will continue with this approach to v10, I will seriously look for alternatives. The product in the new version is not working for me anymore.
Osensnolf 12 Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Not sure if you all remember TuneUp Media (the program that would clean up your MP3 collection and add tags and artwork, etc), but this reminds me of them. They came out with a "big" 3.0 update and everything feel apart. For them, I think EVERY customer had problems with the release. People were losing years of work and data. It was bad bad bad. It got so bad they ended up selling the company to some of the employees. I'm not sure they ever pulled through it. Very interested case study and read though (but painful experience for those of us who went through it): https://www.networkworld.com/article/2224351/when-bad-things-happen-to-good-apps--part-1.html
vogelap 27 Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 I tried 10.x. Tried it a bunch. But wow, it's just not feature-rich enough, nor performant enough, to be my go-to Evernote. Back to Legacy for me. I hope Evernote uses the time they've bought with Legacy to bring the 10.x version into competitive range of their own 6.x offering. 1
bitkahuna 0 Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 didn't realize i had 10x on one computer and 6x on another, but finally realized the 10x was 'different' and lame. have now put 6x on it, and it's so much better. i mean on 10x you can't easily search within a notebook, wtf? something i do many times a day. evernote, don't know your product managers but they haven't done a good job with this 'upgrade' i'm afraid, and i'm all for going forward in most cases and not one of those "it was better in the old days" types. thanks to this thread for allowing me to get to the 6x installer.
