I have never experienced a software which needed TWO REINSTALLMENTS in half a year. That's why I think it's run by amateurs or kids right now. It was extremely reliable over the last DECADE on every device I've had. Issues started when someone took it over, now it's a software in beta mode. I have a Windows 10 latest iteration. Laptop. It's also not "my issue". It's an issue created by the producer. Are you saying I cannot export my notes?? 3 1 Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,055 Posted July 4 Evernote Expert Share Posted July 4 I think you've been offered assistance. A suggestion of a deep uninstall/reinstall using Revo Uninistaller has been made but you are reluctant to follow through. You can export your notes if you wish. You didn't ask about that previously. Once fixed by the uninstall suggestion you have the option to export your in the app. Otherwise use the evernote-backup process which you can download from Github to get the notes in ENEX or I have used a different application to export my notes as both HTML and Markdown. If you need help with that I can search out the program I used. 1 Link to comment

It's again the first time I am asked to use a 3rd party app to uninstall anything, to make something work. It seems Evernote is really run by completely clueless people.

Evernote Expert agsteele 3,055 Posted July 4 Evernote Expert Share Posted July 4 Your choice how to proceed. The Windows uninstaller is notorious for leaving remnants of a program after the uninstalltion. In the case of Evernote and other programs this leaves debris that can prevent a reinstallation working successfully. If you are not happy using the software suggested you can uninstall the conventional way but ensure that afterwards all leftover material is manually removed before you reinstall. Typically this means deleting the following directories: %APPDATA%\Evernote %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Evernote The directory which includes your Evernote data. If you haven't used the option to store your data elsewhere then that will disappear with the previous directories. Documents\Evernote Revo Unistaller will do all this for you and will be the option suggested to you by Evernote support should you get through. When reinstalling download the latest version of the Evernote software from evernote.com to ensure you move up to v10.95.4 2 Link to comment

Plus I don't actually know if I lost notes since the note count has disappeared. The tag count also has disappeared and that was my only way of telling if search by tag was returning all notes (it often doesn't). I was trying to migrate away from Evernote anyway and I am now accelerating the process selecting apps I would not even look at when I had legacy. The new Evernote is not for me 1 Link to comment

The beginning versions of v10 were MUCH MUCH worse... 😉 I do however understand why peoples confidence is shaken every now and then. I've had the same thing multiple times. Not getting an installation in control in such a way that a reinstall is only needed once every 10 years.......is developed by the same people who programmed the back-end that I trust my data to. "Cloud" doesn't mean it's safe... It's just someone elses computer. How it is developed, with how much care, control, safeguards, fallbacks is what determines how safe something is....... I hope it's a different team or in a different way from the front-end. Be aware, I am slowly getting more happy with Evernote. Like I said, I gave Legacy 4 stars out of 5... I gave the first version of v10 zero stars... When I transitioned (version, not body) I gave Evernote 1½ stars... Now I give Evernote 2½ stars... Please don't look up how many stars I told in some other thread, it might be a bit different. 😉 But with the same magnitude of order in my verdicts. 😉 1 Link to comment

XoT 0 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Hi Doministry & other followers of this thread, I perceived the same problem on both of my Win 11 laptops today - causing a lot of discomfort. This was my solution - the Evernote-APP is now running again on both laptops: Uninstall with the Windows-APP Delete all remaining Evernote-data directories manually (approx . 5). I just clicked through the main drive's tree: program and users folders, particularly the users/roaming/evernote folder - NO specific software ! Reinstall and start Evernote. The Start-Menu now appears as usual. Of course, all local files need to upload again. I assume that this hassel was not intended by Evernote -. something must have happened accidentially. I never had any issue for more than 10 years. Cheers Link to comment

chumpita 0 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Hello everyone! For what it's worth, I was suddenly unable to start the desktop version about two days ago. I tried to use the WIndows uninstaller and re-install Evernote with the latest version x 3 without success. I started using the web version but found it to be slower to copy links, move notes, etc. I finally gave in and used the free version of Revo Uninstaller to uninstall Evernote. In three steps it was able to identify files and folders that were left behind. Overall it took a lot longer than the Windows uninstaller. However, it worked great as I was then able to reinstall the windows Evernote software successfully. It's now working super well again. Evernote has been quite good to me and I'm not certain what I would do without it. Having said that, it's been frustrating losing the productivity time dealing with this. Link to comment

Yeah, so if you choose the bug report option you will not get a personal response. They simply log those and use them for analytics to decide what to prioritize. It's not great I agree. For day to day usage, they expect to outsource to the community or help pages. For account and billing issues they generally respond quickly, for issues that aren't a bug but are actually a problem specific to a user they will eventually respond. For bug reports, they will never actually answer you-- unfortunately there are way too many bugs as we know and they clearly can't keep up with them. It's just not great. Link to comment

Level 5* s2sailor 2,410 Posted July 10 Level 5* Share Posted July 10 In the V10 timeframe I’ve had to go the Appcleaner/Revo route one time that I can recall, and I’ve had to logout and rebuild the local database maybe three other times. Considering how many updates we have had, I don’t consider that bad at all. The Legacy software had a rebuild database option that I had to use numerous times over the years, so I don’t view V10 installation really any worse than Legacy.

That usually means that Support can't fix something without the developers changing the app in some way. Once a request is passed to developers, Support mark the item as closed (as far as they are concerned). Developers work on their own timescale and schedule - AFAIK most resources are still going into server-side changes. so other areas will be on hold. Patience is definitely required when waiting for action on bugs and requests - users need to have faith in the system and either wait for changes, find a work-around or move to a different provider. 2 Link to comment

So it also appears to be related to something messed up on the server side. Link to comment

Links work well at least when the Android app is used and they work well with e.g. Chrome and Ecosia, desktop mode on Android. Certainly not ideal but it happens all the time that certain apps or programs are not fully compatible with some browsers, especially when they are not mainstream. Link to comment

I used to work in radio & TV and had one person call me up one day and say "mate, you really are s*!t on the radio, they should fire you and never let you on air again", they then put the phone down 😂 I always like to put comments to the "Pub Test". If I say this to someone in the pub would they punch me? If yes, don't say it 😂 The note-taking world is a little strange. I get plenty of abusive just for having a newsletter that helps folk use Evernote. Its very odd and very much why the 100 or so other experts don't post much. 5 Link to comment

VincentC 325 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Meanwhile, I strongly suggest using "ignore." Anyone who makes an ad hominem attack wins a place on my list. Also, if a poster has nothing but criticism and never a positive thing to say, eventually I will add them to my list. I appreciate the patience of folks here who hang in there and continue to try to help people who are consistently negative. I can't manage it -- like in the real world, in the virtual world, I prefer to surround myself with people who have a positive view, who are not "outraged," "frustrated," "livid," "infuriated," "incensed," and so on at the smallest things. And, if there were more ignoring going on, I think there would be less of those comments, since they'd get fewer responses. Just my POV. I know others may feel differently. Vinnie 1 Link to comment

Personally I've been visiting this forum less and less, it's mostly people complaining and at least a post or two a week of someone announcing their departure. The discussion is not productive for those who just want to use Evernote, share workflows and tips, as well as get advice. I've been saying for a while that this forum needs better community guidelines, and those guidelines should be enforced. We don't need people announcing their departures (this isn't an Airport) and posts that are overly aggressive should be removed and users who are overly aggressive should be warned and if they continue they should be banned. I participate in a lot of online forums and this is the only one that allows active aggression and personal attacks with no recourse, moderation, or consequences. This is something that needs work from Bending Spoons themselves as volunteer moderators can't be expected to police everything all of the time. 2 Link to comment

amInMarina 18 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Evernote the WORST EXPERIENCE I encountered a problem with access to generating a ticket and gaining access to my previous tickets. It was suggested I could submit a "guest" ticket (as if I were not a paying user). Having done that, back in March, I received a response that they had referred my ticket to the tech group and said someone would "reach out" to me. I tried 3 times (via email and using the ticket # generated as "guest") to get a status/update and they just replied that I needed to be patient. It will soon be August. Any suggestions on how to get a resolution? TICKET#: 3855851 Edited July 15 by amInMarina clarification update Link to comment

My comment is that I agree with the OP. Even attempting to log in to the web UI produces an error currently (see screenshot) and as a premium user ( for my business), I don't expect an auto-upgrade to be so impactful when this is supposed to be a productivity tool. Additionally, your comment doesn't fill any purpose of it's own other than to discipline me in what Evernote cites as a conversational forum. Very superior - very off putting. Plus.. I still can't get to my notes, so evernote really is currently 'the worst' paid app experience (thanks OP!). 1 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,695 Posted July 18 Level 5 Share Posted July 18 Ad blockers usually have their own interface. It should be possible to see blocked domains, and whitelist them there. How this is done is usually found in the ad blockers documentation . Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,695 Posted July 18 Level 5 Share Posted July 18 This is just a conflict of fonts. The %20 stands for a space character. It is not saved as %20 - %20 is just the translation done by the viewer for the hexadecimal code that stands for a space character. It is similar for the other "characters" inserted into the text. The pdf itself is undamaged, this is simply a viewer issue. Link to comment

Arguing about the merits of Evernote on this forum has taken a massive toll on my mental health when I'm really only coming here to offer help based on my nearly a decade of working IT experience and 20 years of being a technology enthusiast overall. I'm going to have to take a step back from anything controversial. If someone needs help using the program I'm happy to chime in but going forward I'm not going to discuss issues or complaints anymore because the interactions are really harmful to my wellbeing. This is me taking a step back. 6 1 Link to comment

The old v8 Android app used to just place a link into the note (as Joplin does) rather than clip the entire page. I can't find any way to turn this off? Link to comment
