Coffee First Thing

It's a weird one, isn't it? I just noticed that the one Android device I have that's still using the legacy version is also sometimes creating notes with a sharable link.

Starting yesterday, many, but not all, notes I create with Evernote's Android app are created with a sharable link. This is happening on several different android devices. I don't want to create notes that automatically have "Anyone with the link can view." I am using the most recent version of Evernote available on the Google Play store. Does anyone know how to stop Evernote from automatically creating a sharable link? Thanks.

You can set up IFTTT to create a new note in Nimbus every time you add a note in Evernote. It's not perfect, but that can be helpful.

The latest version of Evernote 10 is faster. It's still not as fast as Evernote legacy, but it's definitely zippier.

I have Classic Evernote running on two phones, and New Evernote running on two other Android devices. The speed difference is maddening.

I'm having a problem sharing with Evernote 10 for Android. Often, it takes two tries before sharing from one app to Evernote succeeds. I have Evernote 8 on some Android devices, still, and sharing works fine in the old version.

This has happened to me, too, on my Android phone. Notes sync days later.

When the new Evernote first came out I tried it. I hated both the new Windows and Android versions for all the same reasons many others did, including the lack of features that the legacy version has. Four weeks ago I decided to try the new Evernote for Windows and Android again, and I'm sorry, but I've gone back to the legacy version of both. The new Evernote for Android is painfully slow -- it often takes twenty seconds for a notebook to open, followed by another four or five seconds for a note to open. Even for notebooks that are available offline. The new Evernote for Android doesn't always sync and sometimes notes don't save. The new Evernote for Windows is still much slower than the legacy version. I've gone back to the legacy Windows and Android Evernotes.

I've switched from Evernote Legacy to Evernote 10 for Windows. It's slow. Are there any tricks for speeding up Evernote 10?

I had that problem too. I did a reinstall, which didn't work. The following day it was okay.

I've used apkmirror to download Evernote legacy for Android several times without any problems.

Me, too. I'm still using the Legacy version (and on Android.) I'll hold on for awhile longer, and then either jump ship to a different service, or use the new Evernote if it finally matches the old Evernote in features and usability.

I have check for updates turned off for Evernote on all my Android devices. Here's what appears on my Android device.

Now Evernote version 8.13.3 periodically nags me to upgrade to the new Evernote for Android, but I definitely don't want to switch to the new version yet because it lacks many of the features the legacy version has. Is there a way to stop Evernote from suggesting that I upgrade?

Is it safe to run both the legacy and new versions of Evernote at the same time on the same Windows computer?

I remember some posts from when the new Evernote first came out that warned against running both Evernote legacy and Evernote 10 on the same Windows computer. Is that still risky? Can running two different versions of Evernote on a Windows 10 machine harm the database?

Tip: If you get a new Android phone and want to continue using Evernote 8, be sure to turn off auto update right away. Auto update for apps is on by default. I got a new phone today, happily transferred my apps and settings to my new phone, and about an hour later Evernote automatically updated to version 10.

I changed my Google Play Android review from five stars to two stars. I've been using Evernote for eight years and rely on it. Version 10 for Android is less functional and slower. I hope to be able to revise my rating to five stars again.

For me, Evernote has always been my most important app. It's where my ideas go. My important notes. Book outlines. Photos of restaurants I want to remember. Information I need to give my accountant. My kids' medical records. I depended on Evernote. Now I can't. I hope Evernote returns to its former self.

Quick add from the notification bar lets you pull down from the top of your phone to take a quick note. It's described this way in the previous version's app settings: "When you want to capture a thought without launching the app, just swipe down from the top of your screen."

I sideloaded the old Evernote for Android back onto my phone from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/evernote-corporation/evernote/evernote-8-13-3-release/

I use create notes from the notification panel at least ten times a day.

Does this mean that it's not possible for Evernote to add back some of the features in Evernote Legacy?

In the past day, I've noticed several problems with Evernote 10 for Android. Some are bugs (it seems); some user issues. Sharing from one Android app to Evernote often fails. When sharing is successful, you have to click save. In the previous Android version, the shared item (a newspaper article or webpage, for example) would automatically save. Now there's an extra step to save. (This seems to be to let you choose the notebook, but it's an exta step.) The blue edit button blocks a line of a note's text. In my list of offline notebooks, my default notebook is list six times. (This happens on all three of my phones that are running Evernote 10.)

A suggestion in another thread in this forum solved most of the major problems. I'll repeat that tech tip here so that anyone who's looking can find it. (Evernote 10 for Android still doesn't have the ability to create a note from the notification bar.) --- Solution to not saving notes and default notebook issues: Peter, with Evernote support I've find a workaround: - from web version change temporary default notebook to another - close and reopen evernote Android, now you can save with success - from web version change default notebook to preferred - evernote Android still work normally to original default notebook If you delete data of app, you have to repeat steps above. The little problem is that you see default notebook more than one under notebooks, is only grafical issue, app works normally. I hope that will be fix soon, I'm waiting answer from support. Ciao
