garthbnyc 1 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 No matter how hard I try, I can't stop Evernote from duplicating my notes whenever I switch back and forth between my Mac and IOS, so I constantly need to scan both to see which is more up-to-date. Between that non-stop issue and the ability to choose my own default font size, I plan to say goodbye to Evernote this week. It's not worth the money I'm paying each month. Link to comment

garthbnyc 1 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 I have? Please explain. Are you saying the issue is jumping back and forth between Mac OS and IOS? That seems off, doesn't it? Thanks. Link to comment

So to make changes on one device and then jump to another, you need to make sure that the changes have been saved by device #1, and have been loaded by device #2. If you left the note open on device #1 it may still be talking to the server by the time you're using the other access - at which point the server has two versions of the note being presented to it your changes on device #1 and some more changes on device #2. At which point it has a nervous breakdown and saves both of them seprately so that you can sort them out later. Better to work on one device and then exit Evernote - which forces a sync to the server. Then move to another device and (ideally) open Evernote - which wakes the app up to sync the latest changes from the server - and then continue working. The mantra is to sync both before and after working on any device, and to avoid having Evernote open on more than one at a time. Link to comment
garthbnyc 1 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 This is super helpful advice. Thanks very much. I'll be more careful about syncing and closing before I switch devices. Any word/advice on font preferences? I so miss being able to set my default font size. Sixteen is just a little too big for me. Thanks again. Link to comment

garthbnyc 1 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Understood. Thanks for the help. 1 Link to comment
