Just to be sure we're understanding your question correctly, I think you're asking whether attachments (not just the text of a note) are stored locally. The answer is yes, I believe, attachments are incorporated into the content of the note in Evernote's local database on your computer, though not (I believe!) as separate documents. And they are also uploaded to Evernote's master version of your note database (in the "cloud"), unless the note is in a local (unsynced) notebook. This implies that if you attach, say, a .JPG file from your computer to an Evernote note and sync it, you could delete the original .JPG from your computer and still have it stored in Evernote.

So it is: "NEUE FUNKTIONEN: Fehlerbehebungen und sonstige Verbesserungen" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evernote&hl=de). I wonder how it is listed in other languages. This makes it all the more necessary that some kind of indication regarding this be placed within the app itself. Same for the new feature allowing creation of notes from the lock screen, which is even more deeply hidden in the release notes (as "Customize Evernote notifications you care about from Android system settings"), as I described here:

@mikelisa, I find that it can sometimes take a really long time to download a complete Web page if it is complex or the connection is slow. Do you have a pretty fast, solid connection? It sounds like you're saying that no matter how long you wait, you never get a clipped page to show up in Evernote on Android. Is that correct?

Well, maybe I just don't know how or what to do, but I have the dickens of a time getting anything on my phone to print to my networked HP printer at home. Maybe I should try again sometime; it was so clunky and unlikely to work (and so different among different apps) that I gave up on it pretty completely awhile back. That said, a save-to-PDF function within Android Evernote would be really good to have, as has been requested here: and here:

To be sure, the Google Play blurb does say, "Adjust the note text size for better readability." That's why I went looking through the app to find how to do it, but it took me awhile to stumble onto it in Settings. So I'd agree--they really need to promote this within the app itself.

This thread began January 29, 2015. I count 4 responses from Evernote employees in it.

This is a good idea, and has been suggested more than once. If you haven't yet, please click the up-arrow at the top of this page to support it. One further thought, though. Do you know what that one single line of code would be? Me neither. Who knows, maybe it takes more than one line. Maybe printing from Android is not all that simple. It is possible to ask for the app to be improved without making unpleasant assumptions about those who have to do the work.

Some good news on this! The recently released Android app v. 7.13.1 indicates in the release notes on Google Play that we can now "Adjust the note text size for better readability." This seems to be the scaling to which @May Allen refers. The release notes don't say how this is done, but I've found it. Tap the 3-lines menu at the top left or the 3-dots menu at the top right of the app's main screen, then Settings > Notes; scroll to the bottom of the dialog and, under Editor, you can adjust the scale between 50% and 200%. This scale setting applies to all notes; but the same dialog can be accessed within any note from the 3-dots menu, then Settings (a scale setting made there will be global across all notes on the app). This setting affects display only; it does not actually change the text's font size. But when the text is scaled larger or smaller, it does flow/wrap properly, unlike the pinch zooming action.

Is the issue you're having specifically about editing the spell-checker? If not, in all honesty, so that your discussion can get more traction, I'd recommend just starting a new thread and listing the specific problems the spell-checker is giving you in Windows.

@sjt, it does seem to be taking a long time to implement what ought to be a simple feature. However, last year sometime Evernote changed their Android editor to a new, Chrome-based one. Its features were very basic from the beginning, but they have gradually been improving the formatting capabilities. I presume that this is the reason it's taking so long to get to this, since it has to be done within the overall context of a common editor across all devices. Assuming, that is, that they do intend to get to it eventually!

Very interesting. There's actually a thread going on in the Windows forum just now on a related topic. Someone there might find this helpful; you might post it there.

Quite right. And there I am happy to leave it.

On my PC, I can hover the mouse pointer right over the little arrow or triangle that collapses and uncollapses the notebooks list or tags list and get a count to pop up. I don't actually have to click it. But I do have to be very precise about getting the mouse exactly over the arrow, not over anything else in that header. If this is not working for you, I'd suggest exiting Evernote entirely (use the File menu, then Exit; the red X-box only closes the interface). Then restart it. That often cleans up flaky program behavior.

On the desktop PC, did you try the method that @Austin G suggested just two posts above yours?

This post has nothing to do with Evernote, which stores notes on its servers and updates them to any new device. @sofietaslim. No special transfer procedures or software are needed. I've reported the post.

Well, there's "You are forcing me to quit Evernote just because of your incompetence to realize a feature for which I am waiting and hoping like for over 3 years now - with no changes or improvements on your side at all!"; and "My whole evernote experience is getting a pain in the *** because of this storage issue and will make me quit evernote premium sooner or later (I believe probably sooner)... and it is your ignorance that is forcing me to." Accusing people of incompetence and ignorance is pretty insulting, as is presuming to know their motivations. I participate in several software forums, and the Evernote forums are the only ones where people talk like this (and I will acknowledge, @ph.w., that your remarks are far from the most aggressive that I have seen here). I don't know whether this says more about Evernote company or about the wide variety of users it attracts. But it's very tiresome to read, even when I realize, of course, that it is not directed at me personally.

@ph.w., the people you are ranting at and insulting here are other Evernote users like yourself, not Evernote staff (who only drop in occasionally). This is a peer-to-peer forum. It is not fun to take one's own time to look in on a forum and see if someone can use some advice, only to get yelled at about someone else's supposed incompetence.

@Andrew1956, I just opened a .docx file on my Android phone using the default editing app for such files, made a change, and saved the file (with a new name). I then had to attach this new document to the note manually, which was somewhat cumbersome since I had to find it in order to attach it. But I did succeed, and when I synced the note and checked it on my PC, the new, edited document was there. It's not a perfect system, since you can't simply edit the attachment and have the edits automatically appear. I guess these limits are necessary for Evernote to work within the Android system. But it can be done. I don't know how this compares with OneNote, though.

Welcome to the forums, Pastor. I certainly understand the problem. (I still print out my sermons, in 14-point Arial, 2.5-spaced!). But please note the message posted immediately before yours (May 1)--it may be that Evernote is not ignoring the issue, but just trying to get font sizes to work right across all those platforms at the same time.

@Carl-L-ND, many thanks for pointing this out! I've been using that version of the Android app for awhile, including the formatting bar, and I totally overlooked the line! I needed it just this morning, and had to copy/paste from another instance of the line elsewhere in the note (with the attendant copy/paste formatting issues). Never again! Feeling so "d'oh!" . WRT the original request, for a time/date stamp, I wonder if there is an Android OS issue that makes this harder to do. I realize that I don't have any other apps on my phone that can do this either (e.g., a doc editor, S-Note, Color Note). Are we asking something of Evernote that is not realistic on Android? If anyone knows anything about this (e.g., an app that does insert time and/or date), please chime in!

Hello, @Hisham7, and welcome to the forums. This is a problem that has been raised frequently by users writing in a number of right-to-left languages. I gather that at one time it did work (it's interesting to hear that it worked a couple of months ago; most people have been missing it for much longer than that). I would like to do some right-to-left typing sometimes, and it's very frustrating that Evernote has not made this a higher priority. Obviously, it has to be implemented in a different way for each platform. But the requests have been piling up on all platforms. Here is a sample:

@Bye_H8er, welcome to Evernote, and to the forums! I can see your screenshot fine. It looks similar to what I see when I use the Web version of Evernote. There's no microphone or paper clip; the only way to add an attachment is to drag it onto the note. However, what you're describing ("a microphone icon or a paperclip button in the formatting bar") sounds more like the freestanding Evernote app or program. Attached below is a screenshot from the program on my Windows desktop. Note the microphone icon (red arrow; for recording audio) and paper clip (green arrow; for adding attachments). That's what you're looking for. There are versions of Evernote for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and I guess Chrome OS, since you found it in the webstore. Be sure you're running the app you downloaded, not the version in the Web browser. (I know zip about Chromebooks, so I hope that actually makes sense on your machine!) Hopefully you'll see the mic icon there.

Just to note that I only just recently did the update to 6.5.4, and I did encounter this bug, but only if the note is opened in a separate window, not within the main Evernote Windows program. I did the Tools > Options > Note, disable Set new note focus to title" workaround. Glad to know it's fixed in the next beta, though. @Sire, please note @Austin G's remark that this is a new issue, separate from the one reported last July:

I haven't tried it very much, but I've found Evernote's automation of business card scanning to be somewhat hit-or-miss. It often has to do with the formatting of the card. If it's portrait rather than landscape, for instance, or has an unusual layout, or is two-sided, there can be issues. IOW, if a business card is designed in any interesting, post-1959 fashion, EN may have problems with it. Again, in my very limited experience.
