I said as an Electron app these days, it is a resource hog and on macOS just plain ugly. I also made it clear what I specifically use a note taking app for. BTW I have as much right as you 5-star wonders to post with whatever frequency I want. @Dave-in-Decatur What is the deal with your Evernote fan-boi signature 🤮 ?

Yeah, Evernote was a great note taking application with no real competition (I used it for technical notes with script programming). Then an update broke text formatting (dot points and indentation) and was never addressed so after 12 months I moved on to OneNote where at least text formatting worked even if the searching was pathetic. I understand the economics of an Evernote having to maintain only 1 code set with Electron, but the final product for end users is slow & crappy. For macOS users the Evernote experience (as an Electron app) is just jaw dropping ugly.

I did the latter, probably about 5-6 years ago. Have used OneNote since then. OneNote searching is foul but at least it is not a resource sucking, awkward Electron abomination like Teams, Visual Studio Code & Evernote.

Yep. Let's remove everything that sets macOS and the applications that run on it apart. The electron framework is a POS of truly atomic proportions.

Thanks @Paul A. I found the thread. Background .. I was searching on nested Notebooks / Stacks and looked around this forum. I was reminded that Evernote's foundations are build on Stacks, Notebooks & Notes and to consider nested Tags as an alternative. You would think that Default Nested Tag Searching (AND or OR) would be a configurable option but no. I have past experience with Evernote breaking existing core functionality with version upgrades (moved to OneNote about 5 years ago as a result) and see that QA of new versions is just as much an issue now as it was 5 years ago.

Evernote for Mac 10.1.7 and Evernote for Web are not displaying tagged notes correctly. Below is Evernote for Windows 6.25.1 showing a couple of notes against a selected tag correctly. Below is Evernote for Mac not showing any notes against the same selected tag. Evernote for Web (Mac Safari and Windows Edge) is the same as Mac .. not showing any notes against the same selected tag.

Refer to: Evernote formatting is buggy and terrible... is it just me? Post created Jan 26 2016. People still responding as late as Nov 24 2018 (Yes that is 35 months). Why are bullet points / numbered lists suddenly completely broken? Post created March 27 2018. Last reply, before mine, was Dec 18 2018 (almost 9 months). As usual, the Evernote apologists dish up the same tedious dross for a product that has had basic formatting bugs for almost 3 years. Evernote laid off 15% of its work force in Sept 2018 in the face stalled paid user growth so I wouldn't bank on the bullet point functionality getting addressed any time soon.

I know exactly what you mean @NicoLove not that it makes the slightest bit of difference. I am paid up and did submit a bug (about 9 months ago) on the formatting issue, Evernote acknowledged the bug, advised it had been sent to Developers AND THEN CLOSED THE TICKET. Don’t worry about the smart arse comments from @DTLow or the defensive Evernote fanboy @gazumped

Sick of zero customer service for really basic formatting bugs ... spent about 4 weeks moving 6 years worth of daily notes to OneNote. FYI OneNote not perfect either but bullet points and indents at least work.

I use latest version of Evernote for Windows at work (not browsers) and confirm the depth and spacing of bulleted items gets completely wrecked when one returns to a note. Has been this way since late 2017 & raised a ticket at the beginning of 2018. Evernote support acknowledged the issue, advised they had passed it to the developers and then CLOSED the ticket ... seriously no bullshit ! OneNote 2016 still not ready IMO (but everyone has unique note needs) ... OneNote issues noticed very quickly: no removal of hyperlinks, no search / replace, no ordering (ascending / descending) of section groups, sections or pages and Mac / Windows OneNote applications look completely different (Windows is way out in front from a user interface perspective). Too bad, otherwise I would be an ex-evernote customer.

gazumped: Evernote in the latter part of 2017 had a number of functional text formatting features and copy/cut & paste worked fine. Then an update version was released that rendered the text formatting features and copy/cut & paste not 100% functional. Fine ... these things happen, albeit rarely if there is any sort of QA system to confirm functionality of existing features BEFORE an update is rushed out the door. The remediation of long-standing existing features that have been compromised by an upgrade should be addressed with highest priority. Instead, we have seen 2-3 version updates in 2018 and the core functionality issues with those existing features remains. An Evernote acknowledged bug should NEVER be closed until it is resolved - passing a verified bug to developers is NOT resolving the problem. This is cottage industry stuff from a multi-national company with a capitalisation figure that must be in the billions with development muscle to match.

We are not talking about "editor enhancements". We are talking about basic formatting that works with version x and becomes broken with version x+1 and stays broken with versions x+2, x+3, x+4 ... there is no serious under-the-hood messing around when existing functionality becomes broken. Apparent (at least to me) that very little QA happens before a new version is released. QA for new versions is as simple as a check list of line items of all existing Evernote functionality and each line item is tested and confirmed as "still functional" or confirmed as "not functional". I mean how hard is it ? Look at the formatting in the attachments below. Screen capture 'before' with formatting OK: Click on a different note, then click back to the original note, formatting now stuffed per screen capture 'after'. I actually submitted this as a bug, it was acknowledged, the ticket CLOSED with advice the developers had been notified (who closes a ticket without it being resolved?) and 2 versions later the problem remains.

gazumped .. try typing in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft and see if the hyperlink is correct. Not only that but printing same to Canon MFD results in the hyperlink lines being strikethrough the text. Absolute PIA and automatic hyperlinks should be optional in settings somewhere.
