Welcome to the forums. Please be aware that we are other users here, not Evernote staff, and cannot "give back" anything. That said, I use Evernote v. 6.25 on one computer. I am not having any problems with sync, so it is still working. You may need to contact Evernote support about this: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. They may just tell you to install the latest version, but perhaps they can offer some suggestions to fix the sync issue. Have you tried using the Web client by going to https://www.evernote.com/? Yes, it's the new version, but at least you can check that your notes are intact, and perhaps work with it till the sync problem with the Legacy app is resolved.

Make "Notes view" a Home widget
Dave-in-Decatur replied to boneycur's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
On my Home page, I have a widget that appears to be part of the default setup (see below). If you don't see it, it's available (title "NOTES") in the Customize dialog. Besides Recent and Suggested, the word NOTES with the green arrow is a live link to the complete list of notes. In case it helps. -
Web clipper: Task. How do I turn OFF this option?
Dave-in-Decatur replied to TdeV's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Hmm, I'm on a much older version of the clipper (in Opera). That would explain why I'm not seeing it. -
Contacting customer support / complaints
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Mel v's topic in Evernote General Discussions
You have my sympathies, but these forums are mainly user-to-user, though Evernote staff may look in at unpredictable moments. When you contacted Evernote, did you do it through https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new? That should get you to someone who could process a refund, or at least keep it from auto-renewing. Or have you tried just deleting your account, after exporting any useful notes? -
So, in the spirit of clearing up confusion, you are not addressing Evernote here. You are addressing your fellow users. But I doubt that you are confused on that point. As you know, then, we cannot actually fix what it is that you want fixed. We cannot even understand what the problem is, since, despite repeated requests, you decline to say how many devices were involved, how one or more of them came to be left on overnight, what Evernote clients were involved, or anything else that might point toward the specifics of what happened. So all we can do is sit here and receive your withering scorn. Go ahead--I'm wearing SPF-80 scorn-block. And a ski-mask, just in case. As long as we are all wasting time here, perhaps I will indulge in an imaginary analogy. I used to belong to the Soup-of-the-Month club, until one month they sent beef and noodle instead of chicken and noodle. I was so incensed that I canceled my free subscription. That was two years ago, but I continue to call them up once a month to tell them off. I have to buy a new burner phone every month to keep from being blocked, but I get such satisfaction from my triumphs that it seems worth my while.

Web clipper: Task. How do I turn OFF this option?
Dave-in-Decatur replied to TdeV's topic in Evernote General Discussions
At what point in the web clipping process do you get this prompt? I've never gotten anything from Web clipper about Tasks. I don't have any tasks, but I don't know if that's why. -
That's helpful to know. If all you need is online storage, and none of the "fancy options" involved in creating notes that are more than labels for attachments, then $35 does seem reasonable. For those who use Evernote primarily to make notes, IMHO it was under-priced even when it was set at that level some years ago.

What plan are you currently on? I take it that its features are what you need, and upgrading to one of the current plans wouldn't offer you enough added value for the cost. IMHO Evernote has been underpriced for a long time, and the need to increase prices and move people to current tiers has produced some understandable irritation. But even grandfathered plans may need to die sometime. (Is that why grandmother has that smile on her face?😁) Yet Evernote is not threatening to kill them off, only nagging people to upgrade/update. The nag is the price you pay in order not to have to pay a higher financial price. At least that's how I understand it.

Blue dot on menu
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Dave-in-Decatur's topic in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
Thanks, @Boot17, that's probably it. A really useless piece of non-information, if one uses quite a few reminders, as I do. I'll get used to ignoring it. -
Blue dot on menu
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Dave-in-Decatur's topic in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
Yeah, I was thinking that. But I just went through all the settings categories, didn't see anything new, and the blue dot remains. A very minor mystery, but a mystery. -
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (I'm a stylus fan). Exiting the editor is instantaneous. A couple times I have seen an edited note retain the green needs-sync label in the Notes list, even though checking on another device shows it has synced. Forcing a sync removes the label, but it's disconcerting. Taking a pic was again essentially instantaneous for getting the pic in the note, exiting, and syncing. I'm pleased with the performance so far (almost entirely at home with a good WiFi setup). But I'm remaining alert.

Have You Discovered Import Folders?
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Dave Edwards's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Dude, not going to repeat my previous comments. Just reporting the post. -
😲 I've just upgraded to v. 10 on Android (with a new phone) and haven't seen this yet. But I know there are reports of serious issues, so I'm crossing my fingers.

Or take a sec to make sure a note has finished syncing before you shut down a device.

I just got a new phone with Android 13 and upgraded to Evernote v. 10 (my old Android 9 couldn't install it). I like it overall, as I'm used to the features on other devices. But I'm disappointed that the quick note feature from the notification bar pulldown seems to be gone. As others have said, that was very handy. There is a "simple note" that seems to be the same thing, but created from a homescreen widget, which is much less convenient than just pulling down wherever you are. Am I just overlooking it, or is this feature still missing?
