ryhol 32 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi there! Evernote has become quite sluggish since the release of V10.x.. The app itself usually takes five seconds to open on phones with flag ship hardware. Very annoying if one needs to check something quickly or just note down a few words. Search is slow. Fairly often one simply gets a blank page when clicking on any note. The only way of solving this problem seems to be to restart the app. The in-app website browser is ridiculously slow. I don't know who made the decision to release a beta version of Evernote to the public and not have it fixed for months, but I'm very sorry to say that I hope he is no longer with the company. What has your experience been? ☹️ 8 Link to comment
Waldopepper 15 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Yup exactly the same, it seems to take a few seconds for the app to fire up, same to load a note. It wouldn't be so bad but without Home screen shortcuts, I now have to launch the app, find the note I'm looking for then spend a few seconds opening this. Once a note is open it is noticeably slower than in previous versions, particularly around copying/pasting and creating new lines or checklist items. Why were home screen shortcuts removed? So many users have complained about this bizarre decision. This just adds time to everything! Are home screen shortcuts ever coming back? I'm happy to wait around if they are, but if not, I'll just start migrating my notes elsewhere. Could we have an answer one way or the other PLEASE? 3 Link to comment
Leoaragao98 1 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Realmente está absurdamente lento. O pior é que não é só no ANDROID, a versão windows também está bem lenta. Eu tive fazer o Downgrade para as versões anteriores. 1 Link to comment
BobbingBaboon 18 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Updated today to v10.5.1, on two devices. The lag was immediately noticeable. It's on the verge of being unacceptable. The whole thing is flickering, tags and note content appears a full two seconds after I've clicked a note. On flagship devices, nonetheless. 2 Link to comment
matej1990 199 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Yeah performance of EN v10.5.1 is still a joke compared to other apps on my phone. It's funny because release notes contains info about performance improvements: But performance is also an issue in Windows. So I guess this is a multiplatform issue at the moment. 3 Link to comment
BobbingBaboon 18 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Timed it. On my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, Evernote now takes a full 13 seconds to load. On the same tablet, I have a fairly graphics-heavy game that takes 7 seconds to load... In fact, I have no other app that loads this slow. Google Maps is ready before the 6-second mark.

GabPai 18 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It is fundamentally unacceptable, please let's demand that we can go back to the previous version: 2 1 Link to comment
matej1990 199 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 You can go back to v8 and stay on that version for now. Uninstall current EN v10. Download correct version (depending of the devices CPU/SoC) of .APK file here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/evernote-corporation/evernote/evernote-8-13-3-release/ When you install v8. open Google Play Store search for Evernote. In upper right corner there are 3 dots. Click them and uncheck "Enable auto update". 3 1 Link to comment
neomaniacs 2 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) The same for me. I've been using Evernote for 10 years now in a lot of OS (mobile & desktop). I'm used as well to scan and archive all my document with Evernote. From February, the app is very slow in search and in document scanning... it is a such nightmare that I'm using Google photo app to scan now... what a pity. I have a Google Pixel 5 / Android up to date / all my apps up to date. Thanks to @matej1990, it works now. But, I don't understand the method "enable auto update isn't checked" but the Play Store suggests me an update (which I need to refuse each time manually). Is it right ? ++ Laurent. Edited March 29, 2021 by neomaniacs add some details after reading the thread 1 1 Link to comment
matej1990 199 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 In Google Play Store settings there is an option to auto-update all apps on your phone. If you have this turned on, then you have to uncheck "enable auto update" just for Evernote app in Google Play: If you don't do this, your app will soon be auto updated to v10. If you manually update all apps on your phone, then you don't have to do this. Link to comment

The v10 app refused to clip anything, and took a long time (not) doing it! I prefer everything about v8. Cheers, David 1 Link to comment
David McGrath 0 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I have the same issue. Have Evernote issued a fix? Link to comment
trainerdave 16 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 PREMIUM User since 2008. So I've sunk close to a grand into this EN-deavor. Bail out on 10x, revert to com.evernote.google-play.8.13.3.1083330.allArch.6087 dot APK (google where to download the APK or find it elsewhere in this forum. It seems - for some days - EN provided it, and then stopped.) EN v10 android is an acute disaster. As is their newer PC platform. as was Woke Coke (and its New Coke predecessor). I sense noble intentions but inept, outsourced implementation relying on shoddy, disinterested partner tech firms' support. /rant off 1 Link to comment

Vicknotebook 6 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Yes, Android, Galaxsy S21 has been very slow. Had Enote for 12 years now, definitely the slowest response time it's ever had and very bothersome. Looks like other ticket shows Enote service replied that "they are aware of this and developers are working on it" Link to comment
ha-kg 21 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 its like with many other features, "coming soon" "coming soon" is the stand reply since the appearance of Evernote 10, but there comes nothing Hartmut 3 Link to comment

About the basic working of the Android client: I take from the forum that for some users it works good (likewise for most iOS users), some others claim problems. There is no alternative than to feed problems to support. Android is not as standardized as iOS-little wonder there may be configurations that collide with the EN app. 1 Link to comment
Alxa 498 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 For me it is quite obvious that after 34 releases for the mobile platform in less than 2 years, I still see original bunch of initial bugs from the very 10.0: - overall poor app performance and sluggish gui - offline notebooks downloading forever and only with screen on - no background sync, therefore remote changes not synced to mobile - program start and initial sync of homescreen lasts pretty/too long - conflicting the concept of quick note taking on the go - embedded images not shown reliably Most users in the forums here get in touch with support to feed with bug reports as I did a lot...I mean a lot of times.... all i got in 1,5 years is......"known bug"...."soon"...."later".... 🤷♂️ 4 Link to comment
