  1. This is the Quick Note window when clicking on the 3 dots: Quit Evernote is the only choice that appears.
  2. Regarding the widgets: Not seeing those choices anywhere either. I've looked at the Quick Note menubar item on both versions (on both Macs) and clicking on the 3 dots only gives me one choice: Quit Evernote. So, it's just not there for me. I also don't see any other way to create a Quick Note, at least not in the Clipper that's installed in Safari. (That was another thing I had to completely delete in order to install the latest version.)
  3. Regarding Check for Updates, I don't see it on either version (not under the Help Menu and not anywhere else).
  4. @PinkElephant The only thing behind the 3 dots for me is Quit Evernote. (I'd love to see a screen shot because I've only ever seen Quit Evernote for the 3 dots on my end.) However, before your reply, I looked at my MacBook Pro, which is running Big Sur (as is OP), and the Quick Note there is perfectly fine so decided to completely delete and reinstall EN, which cleared up that problem, so...faulty pref file? Who knows? That also kicked the version to 10.8.4 but weirdly you can't get EN to see that 10.8.4 is even available unless you do what I just did: complete re-install. (I would love to know if there is a way to set Quick Notes to go to a specific notebook. Seems to default to Main without any choice.)
  5. I have the same problem and it's definitely not specific to Big Sur because I'm still running Mojave 10.14.6 and Evernote desktop client version 10.7.6 also cuts off the bottom of the panel making it impossible to save quick notes from the menubar as the screen shot shows.
  6. OK, that's very helpful. Thanks for the detailed reply. I do a manual update of apps so may have avoided some of the earlier pain you described (and experienced). It does seem like EN could make the syncing part smoother/easier but maybe that'll happen later. I will say the upside is the sharing part is nearly instantaneous since I'm not waiting for it to also sync, which I now understand thanks to your explanation. My biggest worry is letting the shares build up and forgetting to go to Evernote for the syncs. Seems like a potential big gotcha.
  7. I seems to me that before 10.2 I was able to use the Share Tab and know EN would reliably get all my notes (usually from my RSS reader News Reader) to EN. Then, sometime 10.2 got installed and I assumed syncing would continue but then discovered they weren't. This morning, still using 10.2, there was a message saying the iOS client was syncing 13 notes but was unable to and that's when I had to delete 10.2 to force my iPad to install 10.3. But, more to your primary point... I don't remember needing EN to be open (and running in the foreground to initiate a sync) to make syncing work. When did that become a requirement? That's the thing I (now) don't get. Hence my question about whether this is some kind of work-around for a newly implemented change in iOS architecture.
  8. I want to add a hearty second to NightStalker's complaint: Since sometime in December, I had naively been syncing notes from my iPad to Evernote only to discover in the past few days they never synced to my master Evernote database. This morning, I discovered version 10.2 on my iPad Pro was stuck trying to sync 13 notes. I discovered 10.3 was available and after restarting my iPad, could not make the App Store recognize an upgrade was available, so was left with deleting and reinstalling Evernote, which did bring it to 10.3 but at a heavy cost: I lost those 13 notes. Then I discovered, as NightStalker rightly points out, a new, cumbersome and annoying procedure to get notes to sync has been implemented (if you're using the Share Tab). Why, oh why, does a technology for which its reason to exist is to literally synchronize notes making it so difficult to do exactly that? (It feels like a major work-around for a possible Apple-implemented security issue but would like to hear from someone at Evernote as to why this user-unfriendly procedure is now the norm. The most-recent reviews on the App Store of version 10.3 are shockingly bad.)
