Can No Longer install an APK for a Superior (IMO) Version


Recommended Posts

Ugh and argh, I am SO frustrated.  The newer/newest versions of EN for Android is far inferior to the 8.12.5 version, AND I can no longer install the APK for that version.  Throughout the past few years I was always able to uninstall the crappy new version and reinstall from the APK file for the 8.12.5 version that I had saved to my device for easy access.  Reinstalling from that APK always worked fine until a few days ago.  Now I get a message saying "you can't install this app on your device".  Now I'm "forced" to use EN desktop in browser.

It shows you are trying to install an older version. The latest running legacy is 8.13.3. This version is as lightening fast as the competing apps around - not that sluggish as what Evernote has been shipping for over 8 month since 10.X as their idea of a new modern product.
 
You can revert and install manually by downloading the last stable (legacy) version 8.13.3 from an archive link Evernote support offered to another user (see below). After a complete sync uninstall. Restart your device, deactivate automatic updates on play store (important). Last step is to manually install the apk (you will have to allow this on android if asked). If you keep the old APK in your downloads you can easily try out new versions later and - if necessary - roll back again if the bugs still haven't gone.

This is getting blocked now by evernote. You can download but can't log in.  They are forcing the use of the new version, which I think is terribly slow and a lesser product.

However you can have tech support could you to an exception list for install of 8.13....just completed this myself.

This indicates that you are attempting to install an outdated version. The most recent legacy version available is 8.13.3. This version is extremely fast, comparable to other top apps, unlike the slow performance Evernote has been offering for over eight months with their 10.X series, which they market as a modern update.

It was well announced that the old sync process was removed earlier in the year. Since when the old app versions are unable to connect. No point in adding to a 3 year old post. Nothing will change.
