And, just to make a point that should be obvious but may not be, some of us continued using Legacy for a year or more as v. 10 slowly progressed, and then finally found it to meet our needs and are not looking back. The "improvements" are actual improvements for us. This is not to say that features and ways of working in Legacy are not superior for some people's needs, only that working with v. 10 is a better than acceptable option for others. There's no need for either group to consider the other unreasonable.

I just want to thank folks for the reports on the problems with v. 10.59.5. My laptop does not yet offer to update to it from 10.58.8, and I will refuse it if it ever does.

I see this sometimes (for years), and usually find that clearing cookies in the browser (sometimes just for the past hour, or for the past day to be sure) and then reloading the tab will get it going. Somehow Evernote Web, even through a wholesale redesign, seems to choke on its own cookies.

Just for a bit of clarification: those who are experiencing this issue should raise tickets with Evernote support: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. These forums are populated with other users who do the best we can to answer questions, but cannot solve serious technical problems, as this clearly seems to be. Addressing "Evernote" in a forum post is not really addressing them; only a support ticket can do that reliably. Google Play reviews may (and probably should) or may not get their attention. But multiple reports of the same issue certainly will.

Hi, and welcome to the forums. Take a look at this thread, which discusses what seems to be a related issue:

Hi, and welcome to the forums. Do you have access to a computer where you could log in at https://www.evernote.com/client/web? That is the browser interface to Evernote, and will show you the actual state of your notes, independent of any issues on your phone. Also, since you are a paying subscriber you can access Evernote support: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

It may be that your database has become corrupted. That's a very odd-looking screen. The best bet would probably be a complete uninstall of Evernote (Revo Uninstaller is recommended as being more thorough than Windows uninstaller) and then reinstalling. It will take a little time for your notes to download.

FYI, there is an entire forum devoted to Android issues, where this has been under discussion: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/forum/718-evernote-for-android-issues-versions-100-and-above/.

An ongoing thread on the issue in the Android forum:

Now that the problem is solved, I will just say that it took me awhile to realize that the last word of the topic title here is a typo for "screen". At first I took it to be an erroneously formed past tense of a certain verb, yielding a reasonable description of the situation. 😉

Aha! I haven't had the file permissions issue, but have had the no-shortcuts bug, and now the latter is fixed in v. 10.52.1 The strange thing is that I tried to do it a few days ago, with the same version, and it failed to work and crashed. I haven't updated the app, so that's a bit of a mystery. But it does work now. In fact, it places the shortcut on an existing home screen (rather than making a new one) and takes me immediately to that screen, which is better than any other app I've seen (but I may not have seen enough of them).

Yeah, I agree that the date interface is not ideal. I'm sure there are various challenges in creating such a thing, another area in which the actual human brain seems to have figured out something that it and it alone can do almost intuitively. But using the given interface for normal changes of, say, a reminder on a note is not something I find terminally distasteful.

Yes. I also find that a wrench is a terrible hammer. ... With mild apologies to the several people who have explained to me the importance in their workflows of making a date field do things it was never designed to do. I understand that it seems that this should work, because it did work in Legacy, or something like it does work in something else. I just don't understand why that seems realistic. A waste of time to try to explain it to me again; my brain is not wired so as to grasp it.

... and the checklists will show up as useless bulleted lists in the older Android app. It's a well-known problem.

Just to be clear, the forums are primarily user to user, so there is not really a "you" on the other end of this. I personally think the idea has merit, but the best way to let Evernote know is to contact support: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

Ah, got it. Thanks. For me, the auto-rotation happens seldom enough that it's easier to just close the app to fix it than to have to grant camera permission every time I use it.

Hi, and welcome to the forums. Loss of content has been reported pretty widely, unfortunately. Take a look at threads in the General Discussions forum: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/forum/53-evernote-general-discussions/.

Promotional spam reported. Another triumph of I over AI!

Evernote definitely supports it. What I find is that I can sketch or write or a few strokes (S-Pen or finger), then it stops working. @E.L, welcome to the forums. Please look around for the existing threads on this to get further information, and post there.

So they are ... which is pretty much true of all software-related forums: they are there for people to report problems and complaints. But there are also a good number of people on these boards who think Evernote 10 does some important things that Legacy didn't and couldn't (closely similar interfaces and appearance of notes across platforms, use of headers, etc.). Of course, every time we utter this opinion we get called fanboys....

Good catch, @MvdH. If it persists, simplest thing might be to get the note as you wish it, then copy its content to a new note before it can revert to the cleaned-up/wrecked version. You'll lose the Note History but obviously that's not doing you any good at the moment.

@Maru1, I just tested in the Android app, and if you put it in Notes view (or Tags, or whatever) rather than Home and then force close the app, it will start up in that view next time. That view will persist after a phone restart too. It's not obvious, but it is possible to avoid the Home view if you don't want it.

Is that in Evernote or Android system settings? In Evernote, the only camera setting is "Save photos to photo gallery." On my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra on Verizon with Android 13, there's also no setting like that. (There's a "Camera mode" setting, but it only has to do with whether it automatically starts in Photo or in the last-used mode such as Video.) Every Android version/phone maker/service provider seems to have different settings.

Just want to say that I agree overall with @PinkElephant's assessment of @soundsgoodtome's list. There are a couple of actual known bugs in there, especially involving images. Several items are just wrong--shortcuts or something that have simply been changed, or are actually still working. Others are design decisions, again IMHO a matter of re-learning habits that, after all, we had to learn in the first place when we started using the older Evernote. A great deal of it is "Evernote should be a perfectly compliant native Mac app"--because it shouldn't need to work on other systems? Because they should go back to programming 4 or 5 apps for different systems? Everyone has their own perspective (and their own limits on what price they'll pay for stuff that no longer works the way they're used to). Hope you'll find something that does work better for you. But the last month or so Evernote has had way worse performance issues than anything on this list, and if -- if -- and when they get those fixed at last, it has a chance to be a really great product again.

Ah, OK. I know nothing about Linux, but now I know one cool thing it can do; except that Evernote doesn't know how to work with it.
