Same issue for me, I have 3 PCs with windows client on them and one the search is totally broken. A full notebook of 100 notes, type the letter e and you'll get 2 notes come up, on other client you'll get 90! I'll try that rebuild when I'm next on that PC, but I thought I'd post anyway as it might be something systemic causing the issues.

I accessed my personal subscription renewal page in account settings

Thanks for this, I did the same and it also shows $69.99US, so at least I can keep going at the same price (which I think I will and give Ian a chance to bring this years work to fruition).

Seems the plan pages need some tweaking though, showing $9.99 with no indication of currency (is this AUD which would make the price okish, or is it USD?) and no monthly option shown on the surface is a marketing blunder. Hope they can fix it, and it isn't an indication of things to come, the last thing EN need right now is anything that discourages new subscribers.

Hmm. This is what I see in Australia. URL is https://evernote.com/intl/en/compare-plans

Maybe this is AUD. which makes it more reasonable, but that would be USD$6.79 so I wouldn't think so. We're used to paying the extra for exchange rate and then a bit more in Australia, known locally as the "Australia Tax". 

I've been an Evernote lover (and hater on the bumpy bug ride) for 10 odd years, premium the whole time. But as the product has suffered many well documented issues I've found myself using Google Drive much more, as well as taking my Task/Project management to Todoist (even though Evernote can do a reasonable job at this for me). Whilst I'm appreciative of the current move to stabilise and improve the product, and share the progress, it seems to be moving veeeeery slowly.

As my premium subscription nears renewal I'm considering if I do indeed renew it, or just go basic and reduce my use even more. I've been paying $70USD the last two years, and I saw last year they 'slashed their prices' as reported by the Verge.

Looking now at the Evernote website, I see the price is $9.99 per month (USD I assume) and no discounted option for annual. So am I safe to assume my renewal will be that (perhaps it will be lower as I might be grandfathered into some plan, who knows)? Anyway that price works out to AUD$175p.a. here is Oz!!

Now I love Evernote and want it to succeed, but the current offering is not worth that price.

I find "Web" in the title ominous, possibly foreshadowing the future of development at Evernote

Exactly what I was thinking. I really wonder if the future is focused on the web interface and then wrapping that on various devices like Notion does. Sure makes development easier and the experience more consistent.

Great to see these videos though, well done Evernote. I look forward to the next one!

I'm noticing some CPU usage as well. Doesn't matter if I have the main EN window open or not, the task bar and background tasks are doing something continuously eating my battery...

This is on my Surface Pro 4, Windows 10, running Evernote 6.15.4.7934 (307934) Public (CE Build ce-53.4.6770).

My other Windows 10 device, my home built PC, is running the same version of Evernote and is not doing anything even with the Evernote main window up. 

I don't like this at all. This is a concern. I don't want Facebook anywhere near my data!

Another low tech or manual solutions is when you fill out a diary note, just set a reminder for 12 months from today. It then surfaces itself on that day. I've been doing this for my journal, is often interesting!

I too am frustrated by Evernote, but are you really saying your problem is the UI? Not the text editor bugs, problems with sharing, missing notes or workchat? You're team is going to explode with frustration because it's not pretty enough? Or am I missing something?

For me the issues are the constant bugs.

1. Windows editor bugs with cursors jumping around,
2. Windows inconsistent behaviour especially with check-boxes, bullet lists and indenting (and combining these, OMG!),
3. Windows drag and drop of files in and out of EN works one version and is broken the next, also often places files not where dropped,
4. the sync issues,
5. The Windows app freezing for seconds at a time, and sometimes just closes itself
6. The android app display reminders in the list when there aren't any
7. Android app notifications come up if you change the reminder time in another app before the notification time was due
8. Android app widget shows ALL future reminders rather than just the same as the app settings (it used to mimic and worked fine)
9. Work chat is useless.
10. Tagging of shared notes doesn't work (ie I can't tag notes in a notebook that is shared with me)
11. Saved searches is missing some key functions like AND and OR's (you're forced into one or the other)
12. Bugs in saved searches, sometimes it displays things you don't expect, hit the same search again and it is correct
13. Still can't have more than one layer of stacking notebooks or stacks
14. No native google calendar integration (Cronofy works ok, but does shift my reminders by minutes at times for no reason)
15. Doesn't have the editing and tagging functions within a note like OneNote (which would be very welcome)
16. Rick click menu in tables is different to in normal editor (ie no access to right click, attach files in there)
17. Google integration is hit and miss, sometimes it displays rich links, other times just shows error
18. I'm sure there is more I can't think of right now...

Sure there are probably three times this list in features that are awesome with Evernote! I've used it for almost 10 years!! But it has deteriorated so much in recent times. At a time when other products have improved to the point they can take it's crown.

I'm moving on too. Transitioned to Google Drive where I spend a lot of time anyway. Using GQueues to integrate with it which gives me the tagging, task creation, collection from web clipper and emails etc. GQueues is a quaint little product, underrated in a lot of ways. Could do with a design refresh, and I always fear the small business factor. I like the look of Notion, it has a lot of potential, I'll watch it with interest. As with Evernote, I want it to be great!!!

+1, not sure why something simple like this hasn't been fixed. Been there far too long.

Also pasteing checkboxes puts them into another checkbox, so you have to delete it and recreate the checkboxes. Very annoying.

Same here, driving me NUTS!!! 

Bugs like this in the editor disrupt work so much I've been considering the alternative ie OneNote!
