  1. I guess this is the incentive I need to move to a different system. I was able to email reminders to Evernote then check them off in the reminder list when complete. It's much more cumbersome to do that in the new version. I looked into tasks, but you can't email a task into Evernote.
  2. Shouldn’t both versions be installed on your computer?
  3. I was content with the old desktop app but very unhappy with the mobile app for iOS and was looking forward to the all-new and improved version. Then I read the forum comments.
  4. Thank god! Now I have something I can use while I search for a replacement.
  5. I've been a Premium subscriber for more than a decade, and this update is a disaster. It's normal for people to grumble when a new version of an application comes out, but I'm missing features that were integral to my workflow. I created templates so I could enter multi-paragraph text without adding/removing extra line breaks when moving content in and out of Evernote. Those templates don't work anymore, taking away what was already a cumbersome workaround. I can't check off Reminders in list view. No preferences menu?
  6. New product? Funny, the "about" screen says I'm running version 10.1.7. I got emails and in-app messages urging me to "Update now." And "Evernote Legacy" is not Coke Classic, it's a legacy version that is no longer supported. The apologists on the forums are doing a great job of damaging the brand when they make excuses and tell paid subscribers like me that they're wrong for wanting this feature or that, or such-and-such an issue is not really a flaw, it just means you don't understand the program (funny, I thought the iOS app, for example, should be more useful for, uh, taking notes). I've been using Evernote for more than 10 years. The new desktop version is missing features that were essential to my workflow. Maybe not enough customers used them to justify including them in this version, but I'm not "wrong" to want them..
  7. Paid subscriber here. After 10 years, I'm starting to look around for alternatives. I just can't believe there is still no reasonably simple way to increase spacing between paragraphs so that you can actually distinguish them as paragraphs. I have to insert extra line breaks--effectively adding blank paragraphs--to make the text readable, and then they have to be removed if I'm going to repurpose the text in some other application. This forum's browser-based rich text editor--the one I'm using to type this very post--understands the difference between paragraph breaks and line breaks. I hit Enter and get a paragraph break. I type Shift-Enter and get a line break. But asking this of a full-fledged desktop application is apparently too much! Other people have asked for this obvious feature, and some replies are all like, "Whoa, Evernote isn't a word processor, man." But there's already lots of formatting frippery in Evernote: Bells and whistles for table editing. A dedicated toolbar button that makes code blocks with monospace type, borders and shaded backgrounds. I'm not asking for advanced word-processing capabilities in Evernote. We're not talking about advanced typography here--kerning, leading, indentation or anything like that. I'm just looking for common-sense support of a basic feature of English-language text.
