Vitaliy Grinchuk 118 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 1. The application works faster. 2. Visually it became cleaner. I have some comments on two things. 1. Empty space between the note and the menu. I suspect that the developers plan to open multiple tabs in a window. 2. The AI button takes up a lot of space, and taking into account that in Ukrainian the words are already much longer than in English - unreasonably much for a button that I almost never use. I think it can easily be reduced to an icon without a description. I would rate it 4/5. Well, the problem with the web-clipper is still not solved. Smart categorization doesn't work, it works very badly with mail service - the clipper doesn't see the opened email and tries to save all the contents of the mail client. 2 Link to comment
Vitaliy Grinchuk 118 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 One more thing. @Federico Simionato plz, Add a blue border around selected notes when viewing in list mode like in snippet mode. I have good eyesight, but even I can't tell if I've highlighted something or not. The lack of contrast is definitely not about productivity. 2 2 Link to comment

It's nice that they include the old default font although I much prefer Inter. I think there are more reasonable things to complain about. I find that not only is the new UI lightning fast now but even the Android app has suddenly gotten really fast. BS is doing great work and it would be great to see less nitpicking over minor things that honestly in this case make sense for usability purposes. 4 Link to comment

FWIW: If the Android app is also very fast now, then the new UI probably has nothing to do with it. (Adding space and removing contrast seems unlikely to speed things up, in my limited technical understanding.) More likely they've continued to work on the back end to increase speed. 1 Link to comment

Yes I believe they are rolling out RENT as stated in their 2024 "roadmap". But I've also seen UI elements ie animations, get smoother in the new UI. 3 Link to comment

mypointofview 42 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 1. On my larger desktop screen it glares too much, like looking at a large light table. Previously, the dark pane at the left with the list of books helped me focus more on my notes and work shown to the right. So this is a step backwards especially if Evernote claims that this new interface will put my work "more into focus". That claim is like a contradiction! 2. The font of the titles, etc. on the desktop app is now consistant with the web version but they still look somewhat different (less bold) on my large iPad Pro. No big deal but hey... 2 Link to comment

mypointofview 42 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 In the new design, the "Normal" font is not as easy to read as previously. See screenshots of my notes below. New (Sans Serif) – see the jumping "O" letters in the word "PHOTOS" which is not as easy to read: Old (Source Sans Pro) – everything is much easier to read: 1 Link to comment

Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted February 16 Level 5 Share Posted February 16 I have to disagree on this one. The only thing about the new UI I like much is the new default font, which I do find easier to read. I have not obsessed over O in all-caps text enough, maybe. 😁 TBH, I can't see what you all are talking about, but that may be just me. 1 Link to comment

It seems to be a Mac thing and perhaps also because I'm on an older version. I never have font issues with the zillion other apps/browsers that I'm using. 1 Link to comment

I compared your screenshot with the situation on my Mac (High Sierra) and I do not have any space between the note info and the upper edge – on your screenshot marked as 1. Perhaps something was updated in the meantime (your post was February 2, mine here is on February 20). Or it's a Windows thing? Link to comment

I'd still like to see what happens if you actually expand the note (double headed arrow icon at the top left of the note preview). I get the same as @Vitaliy Grinchuk Link to comment
