  1. Hellow my pink friend (no irony here, I genuinely like you and you helped me a lot on top of that). Evernote v10 when changing tags, when switching views is much, much slower than Evernote legacy. Opening a note in 1-2 seconds compared to <200ms in Legacy is for me a delay which hurts my process. I believe it many times is a multiple of 2 seconds, for new notes, no conversion, fully synced (as far as is possible with the current bug that seems to exist in offline syncing). 10.80.x seems to be hanging also every now and then, freezing up. But that's new. I hope they fix that soon. Imagine I open bursts of notes, like 4 notes, docked to each corner of my screen. Copy-pasting data in between them, changing a bunch of tags, closing them, opening another 2 tot 4, docking them, changing tags, Editing data. Then repeating that process. Then the current Evernote is slow. Slower than my own brain at least. That's not the level I want for a second brain. On top of that, like you said, the multi-note actions, like batch changing tags, or merging are creepily slow compared to legacy. So there are usecases where it is really annoying to use v10. 🙂 But.... The upside... It got much faster, and went from unusable to hindering/annoying the past 6 months for me. I hope next 6 months they bring it to the level of speed I am used to and desire.

  2. So I deleted two comments here because I'm now fed up with schoolyard arguments. If you dislike remarks made here, please use 'ignore' or just move on. Sniping back just continues the aggravation. Venting, requests for help, and grown-up responses welcomed. Anything else, please keep it to yourself.

  3. Sadly? Happily! ♥️ I just hope the community of people like me stays large enough, such that Evernote will keep investing in a faster tool for our usecases.

  4. See ya guys. I'll hang on my other thread maybe, but PE makes this exasperating. No wonder he has 25k posts. Flaming other frustrated members perpetually. Mods, my previous comment still gently but firmly stands. Count me as another out on account of him.

  6. Sadly I'm one of the ones with the 'right' hardware and processes to think that Evernote is outstanding. Everything opens instantaneously - with occasional exceptions of course; but the usual experience is speed. It is getting better...

  7. So others are feeling too and its not just me, i guess. Can't deny, this slow nature does give a bad web app feel currently. And it's not about counting seconds, as a user the overall experience has been bad. I expect bare minimum v7 performance from any update, but it's far from that. Be it opening note, editing it, etc, the entire thing has far lesser productivity than v7. Moreover removing existing features like auto-correct is quite annoying. Why just remove useful features like these. Are there any good alternatives that have been discussed. I have decent amount of notes currently.

  8. The new font is lovely and called Inter. It apparently uses more of the space to create letter so it appears more readable. Nasa apparently use it on some of their consoles!! I wrote a bit about the new font a couple of paragraphs down on this page. https://tamingthetrunk.substack.com/p/a-new-look-evernote-launches

  9. That is an unacceptable note loading time for fast work but more importantly note opening is often far slower than that: I sometimes wait at least 10 seconds for a simple note containing an image to open. Completely unusable. The whole app is slow, laggy and janky. The left hand nav is slow and laggy to scroll and "slips" on scroll. Scrolling through note list is janky and slow. No caching of images which are slow to appear *every time*. No clue what they were thinking coding the app in this way: nothing is local, clearly and everything is simply online; it's a web app feels as slow as a bad web app. Web apps can be well done, eg see Gmail; this one is not. But you may as well use the web app as it's equally slow. There are dozens of posts daily on this forum are saying exactly what I'm saying and far worse, as you well know. You think we're all making this up? You think there's something wrong with all our systems? I'm done explaining this to you: I'm not sure what you don't understand and I can't help you understand if you want to consistently deny facts.

  10. No one gives a ***** fella. I was waiting for how long it would take for you to chime in, less than a few minutes, you never disappoint. One benefit about ditching this garbage software will be not having to deal with clowns like you trolling the forums 24x7

  11. Plus one for the option to turn it off. It feels like each feature added lately is doing a really good job of getting in my way whilst working. I dont mind new things being added, but the option to hide should surely be there from day one.

  13. Recently Evernote Android always opens with the attached start page, inviting me to create various kinds of new notes. I much preferred the previous "Home" page which showed recent notes and other things (I more often want to refer to or continue a note rather than starting another one). To get that page back I have to go through the menu and select "My Widgets". Asking for the "Home" page takes me back to the unwanted "New Note" page. This happens on both my Android phone and tablet while on Windows the Home page is still the useful one. Does anyone know how to get the usual Home page back on Android ?

  14. I don't think it makes any sense to have a "check updates" button/function that doesn't work, but mostly just gives a false impression that your software is up-to-date.

  15. Wow. Not so much. In the early 20 teens these forums were rife with speed complaints. Solution in those days was to upgrade to SSD. Actually, speed issues back in the day were mostly fixed with hardware not software. Just setting the record straight.

  16. I agree they should allow a way to disable the AI popup for those who don't want it. Still, until they do, I find that it pops up above any selected text and is not usually in my way, and if it is, clicking to the right of the button removes it, at least until the next time text is selected. End of the world, no. Inconvenient, yes. AI cleanup was, IMO, a waste of space, but I think the new options in AI edit show some promise.

  17. @PinkElephant : "I doubt you even tried" All I want to do is select text and delete it. Why do I need an AI suggestion for that? I write notes for me, filled with unusual abbreviations and lexicography. AI's suggestions are culled from online sources with the intention of fixing text to make it suitable for others. Great if you need that, but I haven't shared one of my hundreds of notes with another human since 2016. @PinkElephant :"Since it is strictly on user demand, anybody can decide" Turning it off should be on user demand, too. We're all here because we clicked on the widget out of curiosity, or by accident, and now are trapped with it forever cluttering us and forcing extra clicks. Productivity diminishers are bad in my part of the world, at least.

  20. Agreed. I clicked on the AI widget accidentally today on my laptop and now can't select anything in any of my notes without that lousy "AI Edit" popup getting in my way with an inane suggestion. As is typical with AI, no matter how much a buzzword it is, it has no idea what I need or want. I should be able to click on the AI widget and "Cancel AI" should appear among the suggestions. That, and/or a tickbox in Preferences/Settings to disable AI.

  21. Seems like an incomplete search index and|or incomplete sync. We have notebooks with 7.500 notes in sum whereby the biggest contains 1.550 notes and no problem to search within... One idea might be: Try to export the desired notebook to an ENEX file. This will force all notes to be synced during the export. I hope this will also complete the index... But you have to take some time: Exporting thousands of notes is much slower than in older versions 😞

  22. Hey -- I'm an older user and I think the speed of v10 is intolerable. 🙂 I wish I could say it's getting better, but it's not. I uninstalled, AppCleaned, and reinstalled. It still sucks. I spend several minutes of every day now waiting for sync to catch up with me. Because god forbid we be allowed to sync manually. And of course, there's the small matter of offering absolutely no support to customers who are now paying significantly more for the "enhanced" product.

  23. I can confirm the above: When copied to and fro the snippets are always correct. Also, Evernote on iPhone displays no symbols in the codeblock (but I have not tested this extensively). So, this very likely a front end issue specific to the desktop client. Interestingly enough, in the codeblock more symbols get converted than in the text body:

  24. The new version is not a replacement for legacy right now. In every way, the functionality of Notes is better in legacy. On the Evernote side, don't ignore the benefits, or come up with an alternative or bring legacy back to life. All users already using legacy have existing legacy installations. You just need to bring it back to life.

  25. One "interesting" feature is that the code block and inline text converts <= and >= into the correct mathematical symbol but leaves it untouched in the main body of the note. This is exactly the opposite of the behaviour I would expect. My main use of EN code blocks is to store important snippets of code, and although it looks weird, it does always copy back to my IDE correctly.

  26. Apparently work is being done on the code block so hopefully this will be removed. It has been reported that though this seems like it could be a problem, when copied back into an IDE it does render correctly and is not an issue.

  27. You know it all, do you ? Open app from not running to Home Screen: 2-3 seconds. Open random note from notes list: 1-2 seconds. Most activities inside of a note are so fast that you can’t measure them without specialized tools (below a second). I could go on. The v10 apps are in general completely usable and snappy. The only operations that may take a little longer are multiple note operations. Here it helps to take the app offline before running such activities. It seems what’s hopeless are your attempts to pull everything into a negative light.

  28. Agreed. Sent this to Feedback@Evernote.com this morning. Thank you for giving us the option to get rid of the slash command prompt. But now, I have the AI Edit prompt in my way. I want a clean interface for writing my notes. I know you have an AI Edit. There's a big green and purple box in the corner. Can't miss it. Please remove the prompt. It just gets in the way and is at least as annoying as the slash command prompt.

  29. I totally agree with Dave. I do not need any AI Edit icon at all !! Please take it away forever. Its only an extreme annoyance to see the pop up millions ot times a day!

  30. Don’t try scanning right into EN. Either scan into a folder, then use ScanSnap Home and save the file into an import folder. This will take care of importing. Or use ScanSnap Cloud - you can connect your EN account to it.

  31. The latest update (v. 10.81.4) fixes this by removing the extra space. But I totally agree about not wanting AI, and esp. hate that whenever you select more than a certain number of words (or characters) it pops up an AI Edit icon for you to click. It's a small number too. This may be worse than the / command popup.

  32. Here's what the denialist evangelists of V10 don't get. Versions 5 and 6 achieved what all great desktop software does: it felt like a tactile, physical object. A tool that you can bend to your will, that's intuitive and get things done with. Classic versions of Outlook feel like this, as does lots of audio production software I use. It's software for grown-ups not hipsters that's written by experienced software engineers - not outsourced nobodies - who are passionate about their product. V10 on the other hand is like working with software dipped in molasses. Suddenly you might as well be running a 486. It's so so slow and clumsy to use and can't seemingly even cache notes/thumbnails to work faster. It's just ridiculous and horrible. And yes I've tried it on countless fast Windows systems. I've not tried on Mac. Maybe it flies, but I doubt it very much. It's equally slow on the web. Everyone knows it's just a joke except it seems to those with high toleration for awful software. I wish I could tolerate it...

  33. Agreed. The AI features seem helpful for those who need it, but my university & employer strictly prohibit the use of any AI tools— being able to toggle this account-wide with an option that's tucked away in the account settings would be perfect.

  34. I am sick and tired of seeing the AI Edit option whenever I try to type anything into Evernote. My job does not necessitate any use of AI and so I would like to turn off the AI Edit option completely. Let me toggle it off. In addition, I want to be able to edit the note toolbar so I don't have to navigate a menu just to use the highlight tool. Since the AI option got added to the toolbar, no amount of maximizing my note screen will allow the highlight option to be ready to use. Instead I have to keep navigating a menu just to highlight text, which is disrupting my workflow. Please add the above features. Thank you.

  35. People have been complaining about this "new" version for years, it's simply horrible, but Evernote management seem deaf to the concerns. There's just no excuse for how godawful it is, add in the hobbling of the free tier and fresh price rises and it just feels.. icky to me. I ALMOST gave in and paid for a subscription, but within 5 mins of trying V10 again, it's a hard no. Have to seek alternatives

  36. Long time Evernote user. 10 years? Feels like forever. Used Legacy up to the last day. Now on the “new version.” Like my previous experiences, the “new” Evernote is absolute *****. It takes 30-40 seconds just to create a note. Search is painfully slow. The Lag is sooooooooooo bad. I know it’s been said a million times, but it is sad and criminal what Evernote has done to this product. It was a great working product that they ruined. Why did they have to kill the last lifeboat for legacy users? As it functions now, Evernote is an unusable product. Sad day.

  37. You still need a client that is logged in for offline access. It doesn't need an active server connection, but it must have been logged in before server connection was lost.

  38. Yes, I know, I've heard this ad nauseum. But tdeV said he installed/upgraded legacy on a machine that was not connected to the internet. I was asking how, on the chance that *maybe* there's something I, and you, don't know.

  39. Wow, I;m really sorry to hear that. My phone is what I use the app on most, I type in things I need to remember while I'm on the go so I'll have a reminder when I get to a computer. I guess I'm going to have to make time soon to get switched over to a new app. This is absolutely a show stopper.

  41. Yeah maybe that'll work until it logs out, as for me I'm done I signed out and cannot sign back in.. I'm going to delete the local legacy database files and call it a day and start rolling with v10. Good luck y'all

  43. Great solution. A bit off topic, but this also works for those with hundreds or thousands of unread emails who want to go to inbox zero but cannot figure out how to do it. Simply create a folder called "Archive", put ALL your emails - both read and unread - into it, and like magic you have an empty inbox. If you need to find anything old, it's still there in archive, and anything new can either be read and deleted or read and archived. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

  44. personally, I was forced into what I will call "incremental migration" strategy, when I moved from palm desktop / device into evernote due to lack of compatible way of doing automatic transfer. This works for migrating from ANY note app to ANY other note app. This works as follows: - leave all existing notes in your old note app - new notes, you create in new note app - old notes, whenever you need to amend them, copy over to new note app manually and edit over there This may appear counter-intuitive. I was forced into it, and was initially very upset. But in the end, it worked like a charm for me. Because this way, you are also in a way doing housekeeping, ie after 1 year, you will have active notes in your new note app, while outdated notes only in your old note app. This helps in keeping database small, thus faster speed. Also, when you do search, you don't get so many outdated notes also appearing in search. In my case, I had 5000+ notes in my old palm desktop, but after 1 year, I had transferred only 1500 active notes into evernote, and left the 3500 outdated notes in old palm desktop app. 1500 notes coped over 1 year works out to be about manually copying 4 notes a day, which is not too painful (though of course in reality, in initial days, may need to copy upto 10 notes notes a day, and then it starts tapering off). There are some drawbacks like having to search 2 notes app for some time. But after some time, this also reduces. Many may not have considered this as an option. I certainly didn't. but it worked well for me, so am highlighting it as a POSSIBLE option to think about.

  45. An html clip seems like it could have resources like images linked externally in the html based on what I'm seeing with users saying very old html clips are missing images. If the source of the image changes ie <img src="https:///website.com/img.jpg"> then the image in the clip will be an empty space.

  46. What usually works pretty well is to use the „Print Recipe“ option most sites offer. You skip most of the storytelling, and get the plain ingredients and prep instructions. Most of the time it will save nicely as PDF.

  47. In my experience, recipe Websites can be a real mess to access. They want you to go through their endless descriptions and family reunion photos and ad links and videos before showing you the recipe text. But Evernote's Web clipper now allows you to clip in Multi-Select mode, which would let you just grab, say, the title and the recipe. It's really very flexible, but it takes a minute of mousing around sometimes to get it to select just the piece that you want. I would think that those bits of basically just text would be permanent in Evernote.

  48. Be careful. I was just recently told here by forum members that web clips may NOT be a static download. I have several old notes that are missing data apparently because something about the original website they were clipped from changed or was removed. So far, it looks like the affected notes were all stored with HTML format. Parts of the notes are now gone.

  49. Web Clips are a static download. They are stored as they were when clipped. The only connection to the original website is the URL saved in the note. You can visit the site again - which will show the current site. But this doesn’t change the clipped copy. Example: A page is clipped when it showed freely. Later it is moved behind a paywall. The clip will still show as it was - the URL will be redirected to a login page.

  50. @1dufflebag Yeah - hoping they move the prominence of it towards the end of the tool bar once it's out of beta or at least give us an option to hide the button altogether. I've never accidentally clicked it or tapped on it though, but I'm mostly on Desktop and it's probably way easier to accidentally trigger it on mobile I imagine. Did you click the 'Don't show me again' option at one time? Fortunately, I never tapped though so when I tap the AI button on mobile it says "Try AI Note Cleanup (Beta)" and then I can click 'Cancel'.
