Jeremy Marketer 5 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The new update is horrible. I used to recommend Evernote to everyone I met and now I'm considering not using it anymore. I can't drag and drop screenshots effectively anymore. One main purpose of paying for evernote was the ability to copy/paste and send emails with keeping the screenshots intact. Also, no images dropped in are visible as images inside the note. I don't think it's worth paying for or using at all without this functionality. Besides the crucial issue with images not transferring properly or being visible, here are some other major issues with the new update: 1. The minimum sidebar menu width is too large. I have many things going on in my workday and I enjoyed the solution of having minimal interference to take notes while working. It now forces "clunkyness." 2. Loading lag is horrible. It takes so long to load and often crashes, forcing me to refresh. This is very bad considering I am taking notes in meetings and important calls, missing critical note taking waiting for Evernote to reload. TERRIBLE. 3. Upon reloading, many recent notes are gone because they did not sync properly. If you're going to Beta test an update on everyone, provide a notice confirmation before we accept the update so we can revert to the previous version if needed; OR get a new Product Manager who knows this already. I have never been so upset with an application I was so happy with for so long. If anyone can share the previous version of Evernote for me to revert and continue my life, please do. 3 Link to comment

I'll also add that the little "HTML CONTENT" fence has me red-faced with anger, introducing a ridiculous new step to make editable. To really make sure you smell the stink of that UI, they hide even the ability to do so. Mouse-overs hide functionality and reduce discoverability. Their only benefit is a cleaner look, which we don't even get in this case because of the HTML CONTENT bounding box. Inanity. 1 Link to comment
heartbeat 1 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I have recommended Evernote to so many people and have bene paying from a Premium account. But sad to say, if things don't improve with speed in the new version, I might me leaving evernote as the slow speed on various aspect has turned 'Productivity' on its head. Doesn't;t seem to matter if i am on a Mac/ iPhone or windows, performance is really poor compared to previous experience. Is there anyway to revert to an older version? 1 Link to comment

For Mac/Windows you can use Legacy version or download v7.14 (you can find it in forum) again. For iPhone, sadly no. 1 Link to comment

I will continue to pay for it as long as it doesn't force me to update. You have rescued me from so much heartache with this link to revert to "Evernote Legacy" 1 Link to comment

lkarbo 3 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Because of one bug and some weirdness I've experienced with the new version, I was happy to see the link to revert to an older (Legacy) version of Evernote. Sadly, I can't run it on my macOS (Sierra 10.12.6). Thanks anyway to those who shared the link. "What bug?" you wonder. Well, when I change one or more images in a Note, the corresponding List View does not update to reflect those changes. One of the deleted images still appears in the All Notes sidebar view instead of a new one from the note itself. Hoping there are fixes soon. Link to comment
heartbeat 1 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks a lot. I am much happier again. Link to comment
