I just want to highlight this for anyone else who may think they are going crazy: http://evernote.com/download is currently down. It's not you.

Working now...

I wonder what is going on over at BS this week. I guess maybe some of that old unused code they cleaned up wasn't unused.

Why ? Because a website may be offline for a brief moment ? I run a website myself, and from time to time it will be off. Big surprise ? No, just server maintenance or that urgent fix for a zero-day-exploit for an add-on.

Please don’t stop, keep on walking. There is nothing to be seen at this crash site. Just a fender bender …

It was offline for like 6-8 hours yesterday. Plus they pushed a mobile release with a major known issue and didn't at least pause the rollout. I'm pretty disappointed right now to say the least.

I think Apple and Google have a lot more say than Evernote in what is available for mobiles and when.  The page was down,  and now it's not.

At least on iOS you can’t place an older version at the appstore.

Once a release is out, it stays and can only be replaced by a newer one.

On Android you can sideload an older APK which is nice.

If you trust the source, which is risky...

APKMirror is pretty safe.

[gazumped 12,075]

Even Google Play had some malware apps.  I have no idea what's acceptably safe or not,  but we're off topic for this thread - again...

On Android it’s possible to load an older version of an app, but it’s often not possible to update to the latest OS release.

No thanks, I rather prefer the way iOS is handling updates.

Off topic but that's exactly why I use a Pixel. We get OS release updates right away.

LOL we had users here who couldn’t update EN because they were locked into Android 9 on their Pixel 4.

Never had such a problem with my iPhone 6S, build in 2015.

That's not accurate the Pixel 4 launched with Android 10 and is upgradable to the current version of Android, Android 13. That sounds like operator error.

Ah, but the thread is about a dead issue, a temporary outage that was fixed yesterday. It's the wild west here -- a free thread to drift in!

Exactly. I only posted it because I didn't want anyone to clear their cookies for no reason.
