  1. Evernote's support contact page is here: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.
  2. For a direct route to the Evernote support contact page: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. As noted, it is for paying subscribers. If you're on the free plan, since this would have a long-term effect on your use of Evernote, paying for a month's worth of subscription might be worthwhile, even if just to find out that the problem exists within the Electron framework.
  3. Does Notion not have any export feature at all? I ask out of ignorance.
  4. I find that it works for me, using Opera or Firefox as the browser. What browser are you using?
  5. And since this only seems to be happening in Chrome, it may be that something changed in Chrome rather than in Evernote.
  6. Replying to a 2-year-old post about iPhone problems in order to discuss current problems with Android may not be the best way to find a useful discussion. There is a forum specifically for Android, and there are a number of threads there about problems syncing or saving in the current Android version: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/forum/718-evernote-for-android-issues-versions-100-and-above/.
  7. Note the item at bottom left (from the Evernote Web app; Windows desktop app is similar):
  8. I've had this problems many times in v. 10, though I haven't associated it with tags, which I don't use very much. It would be worth breaking this out and starting a new thread with it, to see how widespread it is.
  9. 😄 Sadly, no, since I don't have it yet! I'm sure I will continue to use subject-oriented notebooks, simply because I'm used to it and my mind (I do not speak of "the human mind"☺️) works that way. Beyond that, I've been compiling a lengthy Evernote note on this subject (and have added this thread to it), and will have to dedicate a few days to considering and maybe experimenting with possibilities to figure out what I want to do.
  10. Very interesting post. I'm not on anything Apple, so I can't comment on the substance, but I'm sure others here will chime in. I do absolutely get not stressing one's spouse with a new tech platform! My only comment would be that I would be OK with Evernote supporting Markdown, but very unhappy if they moved to Markdown. I don't want to have to learn Markdown when Evernote's formatting capabilities work fine for me. Lots of people who post here do work with Markdown, but I would not think that a high percentage of Evernote's customers do. So supporting it as an option would be great, but not making all users use it. IMHO.
  11. Thanks for this. I use notebooks, tags not as much, but I haven't created my fully systematic approach yet. My work would want a different structure than yours, but you present an interesting way of using the available Evernote features as tools for getting at one's work.
  12. If you'd take a look at some of those 4K posts in which I have "cloaked" myself, you'd see that I mostly come here to try to help people with Evernote problems, and engage in some interesting conversations. And that I recognize Evernote's shortcomings when I perceive them. The pricing is not a shortcoming for me. Obviously it is for you, which is perfectly reasonable for you. The statements that the price change is "insane" and amounts to "price increases, with no commensurate addition of features" are your opinions also, but presented as if they were fact. A couple of us in this thread have addressed the latter, but you have not cared to defend it. And by the way, whatever I say here is in no way a "dismissive approach to customer service" on the part of Evernote, since I don't have any connection to Evernote other than being a user. So, to sum up from my point of view: you came in here swinging, and got swung back at. You don't care to understand who the people in the forum are or how they conduct themselves in it. Yet you know who's a "troll" based on their refusal to regard your personal experience and opinions as the only valid ones. FWIW, I share your apprehensions about Bending Spoons. And I'm glad that Evernote has generously offered you a pricing concession, so you can continue to explore and hopefully enjoy Evernote's developing features for less than the rest of us pay. No doubt my just deserts. Sigh. But you've accomplished one thing here. I'm done responding to people who come in to announce their departure from Evernote as if they were the last barrier between EN and catastrophe. It aggravates me excessively, which is on me. Better just to spend time offering what help I can.
  13. This is a good point. the Webclipper settings don't make any reference to the default notebook at all. It would be helpful to raise this with Evernote directly (we're mainly other users here), either through a support ticket if you have a paid subscription, or using the Feedback feature (which I think is only available by clicking your account name in the Web app).
  14. Personal aspersions aside (I guarantee you I am vitriol-free), why not lead with this kind of detail? Perhaps I have just gotten sick of people who come into the forums specifically and only to announce their departure from Evernote as if this were a vital piece of information for Evernote and its other users. I find Evernote, for my purposes and in comparison with other tools I subscribe to, such as the Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster dictionaries, a good value for the money. If it's not worth it to you, it's not worth it to you. That doesn't make Evernote's pricing actions insane, just something that should likely have been initiated long ago an carried out more gradually.
  15. Yay, another announcement in the public square of someone leaving Evernote! If this is supposed to be a complaint to Evernote, this is not a useful place to make it. The forums are user to user; as a paying subscriber you can create a support ticket (https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) and tell Evernote directly. If it is a warning to other users, well, they were likely to find out on their own and in plenty of time anyway. If it's a request for help and advice, which is what the forums are for, there's really nothing other users can do to help. In the least-likely case that it's an invitation to offer our opinions, mine is that Evernote's only mistake was to leave it underpriced for so long, and especially to grandfather in outmoded pricing structures. Hence what appears as "price increases, with no commensurate addition of features" is, in my view, actually a lack of price increase at the time many new features were added with the changeover to v. 10 -- a bumpy process, to be sure, but one which gradually led to a more consistent interface and features across devices and platforms, and added features like the home page, tasks, etc., before any significant price increase. Oh, and by the way there's inflation and supply chain issues raising costs on everything for everyone around the world. Evernote can't escape that either. Of course, the new interface, home page, tasks, Google Calendar linkage, improved filtering and searching, etc., may not be anything you need enough to be willing to pay what they're worth. In which case, bon voyage, enjoy whatever app you land on, hope it works well for you. But, thunderous as it must seem to each of the person or two who make these announcements from day to day, anyone's leaving Evernote is not a matter of widespread interest among other users.
  16. People sometimes wonder whether Evernote staff read these forums, and if not, why not. I'd like to suggest that one reason they don't get too involved here is the dueling demands of some who say, for instance, "Evernote, don't try to be like Notion!" while others say, "Evernote, why don't you catch up with Notion?" I have to assume that Evernote has its own course laid out, and they really need not and should not be distracted from it by trying to balance out responses to inconsistent complaints from users, including inconsistent claims about what is fundamental. Part of Evernote's brilliance is its flexibility for a great variety of purposes, which can only mean a great variety in what we, its users, consider "fundamental."
  17. Dude, you came in here to report Evernote not working for you, even though you don't use it anymore ❓ , apparently not to get help, but just to cop a 'tude about not using something that you're trying to use. People might be pardoned for wondering what your point is. And for pointing out that your individual experience with Evernote is just your experience, not a comprehensive report on the service. Annywaaay.... Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, frohe Weihnachten, feliz Navidad, and may all your Zoho time be ho-ho-ho time, and may Evernote just float our boat.☺️
  18. I'm seeing the same as @PinkElephant. Going to any notebook makes it the "default" search location, with "everywhere" as the other option.
  19. And what method for saving the article: Web clipper on a desktop or laptop, sharing on an Android device....
  20. I can't swear to their reading habits, but Evernote staff hardly ever post in these forums. Not never, but hardly ever. These are basically user-to-user forums, and since you have a paid subscription and want to give Evernote a piece of your mind, why not do so directly to them? I didn't say the update notification happens only to you; I said it happens to you "and many others", but also not to myself and many others. I keep Evernote open constantly, because that's what it's for: to take notes at a moment's notice, to make those notes available on multiple devices and platforms, and to serve as a repository of such notes on which I can draw as needed. I'm in and out of it all the time. I don't feel sad about it a bit. My Dell Inspiron Windows 10 laptop is far from top of the line, but keeping Evernote around doesn't drag its performance down. And I don't get popups that interrupt my work, though I don't know if keeping EN open is the reason or not. I don't know if this will solve the specific problem you're having, but in the release notes for the latest update, v. 10.50.10, it says, "In the past, a screen would pop up annoyingly to let you know when an Evernote update was available to you. But now it'll wait patiently in the background until you're ready." So maybe they've addressed this issue, even if they haven't responded in this forum. OK. I'm tired of being yelled at and yelling back. Truce. Good luck with Upnote, if that's your choice, and may it serve you well.
  21. Just for the record, I use Evernote Web in MS Edge sometimes. I just checked and could view my largest notes (either by size including attachments, or by length) without any freezing. So it's clearly happening a lot, but maybe more in Chrome than in Edge though, and maybe not at all on Firefox. So it may be a Chrome issue rather than an Evernote one. Have you looked in Google support forums to see if there are reports there?
  22. You seem to think that coming into this forum, yelling and cursing at Evernote, and announcing with a flourish that you are leaving them, somehow teaches Evernote a lesson. But it's user-to-user in here. YOU ARE NOT VENTING YOUR FEELINGS AT EVERNOTE HERE. You're venting them at me, another user like yourself, and at others who come to these forums to try to offer a little help, and sometimes a little perspective. IF YOU WANT TO YELL AT EVERNOTE, DO IT HERE: HTTPS://HELP.EVERNOTE.COM/HC/EN-US/REQUESTS/NEW. Gee, that felt ... no it didn't. I have never once had my workflow interrupted by Evernote popping up an update notice. Not once. I don't think I'm alone either. What those of us who live such charmed lives find so annoying is the angry assumption that what happens to you happens to everyone. Why it happens to you and not me, to many others and not to many other others, I don't know. Maybe because I keep my notes program up and open in the background, because that's what it's for. (Gee, did I just make an assumption there?) But no one here is trying to hand out insults. Except you.
  23. On my 17" laptop screen, I can shrink the Evernote window to take up less than 25% of the screen. With the note maximized (sidebar hidden) and text zoomed out, I can see a fair amount of text. I often take notes while on Zoom, with the Zoom window itself reduced.
  24. And when you uninstall, many folks here recommend using Revo Uninstaller or the like, not the default Windows uninstall, which may leave scraps behind.
  25. Leaving the iPhone aside, when you use the Web clipper there is control over what you save: the article as such, a "simplified" version, the entire page, etc. Experimenting with these is generally your best bet. I say this in general terms -- I'm not on Twitter, and don't have specific experience there.
