I'm happy for you guys.

The problem with using a taskbar pin instead of the system tray icon is that it's considerably slower to open that way. Opening from the system tray opens as fast as when the program is just minimized - unless, of course, you have to faff about with right clicking and choosing from a menu. Just minimizing the program is a work-around, but that kind of sucks too, as then you have it taking up space in your taskbar unnecessarily when you're not using it. The old behaviour of opening quickly from the system tray was perfect.

Appreciate the reply. This still seems unnecessarily convoluted. If I have several stacks and I want to search one, I have to go to the Notes view, then filter, then choose the stack, then go to search, and enter what I want to search for. Or I need to save a search for each stack I might be interested in searching, and then go to the appropriate saved search. In the legacy version, you simply click the stack you want, and then search.

I thought three years after this new version was introduced, I might be safe to finally upgrade. Appears I was wrong. I search within stacks constantly, and having to type out the whole stack name in the search box every time is insane. I'm sure it'll never be fixed though, just like the mobile apps will apparently never again have the ability to even select multiple notes. Worst company ever.

I've had a support request open with Evernote for over a month on this. They've confirmed the problem, but haven't yet fixed it.

Turning the setting off and back on did nothing, so I guess reminder emails just don't work anymore? Surely this isn't the case for everyone or I would see more complaints.

My account is set to receive daily reminder emails. I just double-checked the setting. And yet the most recent one I have received was a week ago on March 1, despite having reminders due on multiple days since then. The most critical feature of a reminders app is to SEND THE REMINDERS. I will try turning the emails off and back on, see if that gets it working again. I sure am getting sick of Evernote consistently failing at the most important things a note taking/reminders app should do. Releasing these new, incredibly slow, feature-poor versions is another example.

I tried side-loading the old APK, but it just hung when I tried to log in, so I'm not sure whether it's still possible.

I mean, just look at the pages of recent reviews in the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evernote&hl=en&gl=US&showAllReviews=true Historical average 4+ stars; since v10 release, the median review is one star.

The new v10 Android app is indeed painfully slow. Just trying to open the shortcuts menu in the sidebar regularly takes 7-8 seconds. That's ridiculous, and I'm not sure it'll ever really improve, since they've done away with local data. In the old app shortcuts where just there, because they were stored locally. Having to fetch the list from the server each time isn't a good approach. Likewise with the old app I could select several notes in one notebook and move them all to another. That was part of my daily GTD workflow. Now there's no way to select more than one note at a time, it takes extra clicks to move them, and they don't even move instantaneously, again I assume because everything is an API request and callback. It's great and all that now evernote developers only have to work on one app with wrappers for each platform, but what's the point if that one app is fundamentally broken? It is indescribably frustrating to get hit with 'updates' that make the user experience worse in every way, in the name of making things easier for developers.

Not only do we need the top list view back, maybe they could finally incorporate reminders into that view, so we wouldn't have to constantly toggle the view to see the reminders list...

Thanks, and sorry for the duplicate. My preferred view is actually the Top List view actually—I always have to toggle to the Snippet view just to see reminders. So since it only happens in snippet view, I guess I'll just toggle to card view for that purpose instead! Thanks again.

It appears this may be intentional, but it's a real drag on my workflow so hoping it's an oversight, or could be re-thought. As of the latest update, when clicking a reminder in the windows desktop client, the list automatically scrolls to that note. (Whereas before it would open the note in the note view pane, but would leave the list scroll alone, at the reminders.) Since I'm normally trying to go through several reminders at once, it's super annoying having the list jump down to some random location (based on when the note with the reminder I've clicked happened to be updated) rather than stay with the reminders section. And I'm not sure what the benefit is, since you can do any dragging or other operations on the note from the reminder itself.

From my point of view, this comment is the key to the whole issue. If tags for shared notebooks were automatically placed in their own distinct namespace by default it would solve the problem of tag pollution, removing the motivation behind the current limitation. Plus, it would really improve the tag auto-complete experience (both in the main programs and in things like the clipper), since if this option were chosen, those shared notebook tags could be suggested for autocomplete only if that notebook was selected. (And so you could feel free to create a large number of tags, which is often valuable for shared (read: work) notebooks, without worrying about bogging down your personal tagging process.) In the meantime, a workaround to that problem is to add a unique prefix character like % or ^ to all tags in a given shared notebook. If you have many shared notebooks, you can use the same prefix character for all, followed by the notebook name. Another option if you decide to go the route of using keywords instead of tags is to keep a master 'keywords' note listing all your 'official' keywords in whatever structure you prefer. Of course, these sorts of manual processes are more prone to error.
