Coffee First Thing

Yes, that worked. Thank you. I can save notes.

I just noticed that, too: Images appear as attachments in Evernote 10 for Android. I'm running the latest version of Evernote for Android, updated January 20.

My three phones just updated to the latest Evernote Android version. I am having the same major problems on all three phones, a Pixel 4XL, Samsung Galaxy Note Ultra, and a Sharp Aquos. These problems include: * New notes don't save * My default notebook does not show up in the notebook list * My default notebook does not appear in shortcuts (even though it is there on my desktop) * I can't make the default notebook available offline * I can no longer write a quick note from the notification bar * I can no longer add a note or notebook to the home screen

My three phones just updated to the latest Evernote today. Notes are not saving on any of these three phones, a Pixel 4 XL, Sharp Aquos, or a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Not a single note has been saved.

You're not alone. I found OneNote too complicated. I see Evernote 10 is improving on a regular basis. I continue to have hope for Evernote. (Especially if they give us the ability to put shortcuts at the top.)

I wish I could give this post a thousand likes. Make Evernote better, not weaker.

I use Evernote Legacy, and I'm thankful for that. But Legacy's days are numbered. No updates, no fixes, no security bugs will be repaired.

When Evernote didn't take into account with version 10 is that for many people, Evernote isn't a luxury. It's a necessity. We rely on Evernote. Going from Evernote 6 to Evernote 10 is like your car suddenly having only two gears, no air conditioning, the radio doesn't work, and the windows are stuck in the closed position.

Nimbus looks to me to be the closest Evernote replacement. There are a few features that I'm used to in Evernote that Nimbus doesn't have, but I'm pleased with their roadmap. Nimbus' web version is robust.

Evernote is a essential and vital app, and its features, prior to version 10, made it unique and irreplaceable. I don't know if Evernote's developers and executives considered how essential Evernote and the way it worked prior to version 10 was. I relied on Evernote being reliable.

Nimbus has web access. Nimbus is missing some features that Evernote has, but then again, the new Evernote is missing features that Evernote has.

It's funny you say that. For me, too, Evernote Legacy is the best alternative I've found to Evernote 10.0. I have my fingers crossed that Evernote 10 becomes as capable as Evernote Legacy.

Send an email to Evernote works! That's great. Although it's a few steps, that's a good way to take a note completely hands free.

I'm a huge Evernote user and fan, and also hugely disappointed by Evernote 10.0. Its lack of features makes Evernote 10 unusable. (For me, these include no keyboard shortcuts and not being able to move the shortcuts to the top of the app.) If Evernote renamed version 10 as 10 beta that would go a long way toward inspiring confidence.

Last week, when I said"Create a note in Evernote XYZ" the note was created and saved in Evernote. Now that doesn't work. Notes are only saved in Google Keep.

That's correct. I have a few key notebooks that I always sync for offline access, which Evernote lets me do. With all the other alternatives, I have to choose either to sync no data or all of it. And all if it is a lot. For that reason, none of the Evernote alternatives appeal to me.

As far as I can tell, none of the major Evernote alternatives let you selectively sync notebooks with an Android phone. (I don't know about iOS.) Like other other long time Evernote users, I have a lot of notes, which take up many gigabytes of space on my PC. If I were to sync my entire notes database with one of these notes app, it might use a prohibitively large amount of storage on my phone. Alternatively, not syncing at all slows down note loading and means that I can't access notes without a data connection. I hope I'm wrong, but as far as I can determine, these apps don't have selective notebook syncing: OneNote Joplin Notion Zoho Notebook* Nimbus *Zoho is the only Android app, other than Evernote, that lets you quickly write a note from the notification bar.

One limitation to Joplin seems to be that when it comes to keeping notes on your device, it's all or nothing. There's no serve/cloud access. My Evernote database is 14GB, which would take up a lot of space on my Android phone and especially on my Chromebook.

There's one drawback I've noticed with Joplin. All the data is stored on your local device, be it a PC or phone. If you have a large notes database it's going to take up a large amount of storage. I was hoping to try Joplin on my Chromebook, but my data file is over 14 GB, which eats into my Chromebook's storage.

I've only been using Joplin for about thirty minutes, so my exploration is still in the early stages. I'm not a fan of markdown either. You can turn markdown off and use the WYSIWYG editor, which is more like Evernote. But when you turn Joplin's markdown editor off, you see this warning: "This is an experimental WYSIWYG editor for evaluation only. Please do not use with important notes as you may lose some data! See the introduction post for more information. TO SWITCH TO THE MARKDOWN EDITOR PLEASE PRESS "Code View"." Joplin has many features I need, but, unlike the Android version of Evernote, Joplin doesn't give you the ability to add a note from the notification bar.

I just started exploring Joplin. Thanks. Compared with OneNote and Notion, Joplin is a lot less complex, easier to use, and more like Evernote. I also like that the Android app was updated just a few days ago, always a good sign. I'm still hopeful that Evernote 10 will be as feature rich as Evernote 6.

I'm exploring Notion, but some of the features I love about Evernote are missing from Notion: Notion doesn't let you create a note from the notification bar in Android (creating notes quickly is important to me) No OCR No location tagging of notes created on an Android phone Notion's create a new note keyboard shortcut in Windows (control-N) conflicts with Google Chrome Notion doesn't have an "all notes" view The Android app doesn't have the ability to create photo notes (though you can share a photo with Notion and add it that way) I'm going to continue to use the legacy version of Evernote for awhile. It works fine and I hope that over the next few weeks, Evernote 10 will become more like Evernote 6. I've been an Evernote Premium user since 2008.

I agree. Fast note creation (with keyboard shortcuts) is something I do in Evernote at least a dozen times a day.

I was delighted to learn that Google Assistant now works directly in some Android apps, including Evernote. You can create a note in Evernote simply by by telling Google Assistant "Create a note xyz," where xyz is the note. (If you have more than one note-taking app on your phone, you may need to say, "Take a note in Evernote xyz.")

I'm not ready to abandon Evernote, but even on the list of what's coming next to Evernote 10, I don't see keyboard shortcuts. I create a new notes and paste into notes all the time in Evernote 6. I'm looking at Notion, just to be safe, in case Evernote 10 doesn't become complete. Notion's different and far from perfect. (For instance, the Android version of Notion doesn't have the ability to quickly create a note from the notification bar.)
