  1. Thank you both, Gazumped and PinkElephant. I have tried the paths that each of you have suggested.
     o Support has no solutions, aside from returning to the legacy product.
     o The continuous flow of releases has done nothing to improve the speed, which for me has been the biggest issue.

    The idea of corporate/customer communication is that I could be much more inclined to patience if I felt that our concerns were being hear and acted upon, with some evidence that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, I know that talk is cheap. That doesn't make it unimportant.

    So, yeah, taking action ourselves. I am currently evaluating Nimbus Notes.

    My personal view of it: Nobody forced you to apply v10 right away. Legacy was and is available with all functions on which you build your workflow.

    Actually, eric99, the did force me. First, they made the v10 change without notice (or warning about how bad it was). Then, when I backed down to the legacy version, they again some time later switched me back to v10 without notice or approval.

  3. PinkElephant, my post was to address Evernote management about their lack of empathy for users' concerns over the speed. It strikes me as management not trusting users themselves to have empathy and be reasonable in turn when we have good information on which to base our decisions.

    I am speaking from using Evernote on modern 64-bit up-to-date Windows 10 PCs, as well as latest version Android devices. Waiting up to 10 seconds for a button/hotspot press to be acknowledged in any fashion is unacceptable.

    Huh! Maybe that could be part of the solution. If there were some way for action requests to be immediately acknowledged, "I'm working on it," even if it took some time to complete. A huge problem is the uncertainty, "Did I actually press it right," "What is wrong?" "Did it crash?"

  4. So many people have so much invested in Evernote. I've been a paid subscriber for many years. Perhaps that is why Evernote management feels that they can afford to simply ignore everyone's concerns over the snail-like speed of version 10.

    My most frequent use is to grab-and-go with some information to archive or organize later. Evernote used to simply Do It, and I could get on with my work. Now Evernote calls attention to itself while I wonder what has gone wrong and when or if it will respond.

    Someone bet the farm on the Javascript-based technology. So now they just hunker down, trying to ignore the withering criticism, hoping that they can introduce new features (restore old features!) and improve the speed fast enough, before users abandon ship and find a suitable replacement. 

    We users would be much more patient and understanding, I feel, if management directly, forthrightly addressed the speed issue. Then keep addressing it until it becomes a non-issue. As things stand now, I've no idea whether management cares, how much they care, what priority they are putting on fixing it, whether it will ever be fixed to any significant degree.

    There is an "offline" data copy stored locally    
    Identify the folder(s) and back up   

    Windows          C:/users/<youraccount>/appdata/roaming /evernote
    Mac                     /Users/<youraccount>/Library/Application Support/Evernote

    Got it! Thank you. For me it was at C:\Users\david\AppData\Roaming\Evernote\. 

    A helpful utility tip, something I use all the time, just as to quickly locate this folder, is Everything by voidtools.com. A super Windows file search tool.

    Thank you, DTlow.
