After getting burned a while back because I upgraded to a virtually non-functional EN version, I now try to wait a few weeks for things to settle down & see how the new version has been received. After 6.10.x, the feedback was fairly horrible - easy version to skip. I'm now trying to evaluate feedback for 6.11.x & am getting a similar vibe. Although it appears to be 'better' than 6.10.x, what true advantages does it have over older versions? Since my current version (6.4.2.3788) is perfectly functional for everything I do, the risk/reward for upgrading doesn't appear to have a good return. Am I missing something? In reading various threads, I've learned a new term: rightgrading - one that I would have hoped 1) didn't exist & 2) that EN, the company, should abhor... Ron

Ditto. While this experience has been incredibly frustrating, hopefully it will serve as a major reminder to not update any app, program, operating system without doing some due diligence (& definitely not within the first 2-3 weeks).

In an attempt to formalize this comment, I've suggested that Evernote actually utilize beta testers >> here:

A few years ago, Evernote implemented a new version & it was an absolute nightmare for users. After a period of time & a number of updates, they implemented many user suggestions & made the app functional once again. To show their user base that they learned nothing from that debacle, they did it again with ios v8.0 (& v8.02) >> see this thread for one group of examples: More than one user has suggested (or volunteered) to be part of a beta-testing corps for Evernote. This is something many companies do & often helps find significant issues before software is released to us, the poor, unwashed masses. I suggest that Evernote implement a beta testing program utilizing a significant number of volunteer testers to vet their software prior to release.

v8.0.2 crashes on startup on my iPhone. Give me a rollback. Give me something so I can function!! I really thought EN learned it's lesson with the new version debacle a few years ago - obviously not! Lesson 1: First - Do no Harm!, Lesson 2: repeat Lesson 1. Aaaargh!!

Someday I'll learn to come to the forum BEFORE I update. Evernote v8.0.2 crashes on startup in iPhone (even after restarting). Aaaargh!!! I really thought EN learned it's lesson with the new-version debacle from a few years ago >> First >> Do no Harm ...

Good call on the corruption. I copied the contents & created a new note & was then able to add new hyperlinks. Hopefully this isn't saying something bad about the status of my entire Evernote database. My ticket: 952485

Note is not that large - I have many other much larger ones. Articles clipped with Evernote are probably 5-10 times larger. I just checked my monthly upload limit - with one day left in cycle, I'm barely even registering (1% of max limit). I'm disappointed that Evernote support have never responded. I sent a follow-up email after ~2 weeks --- crickets.

For the past few years, I've used a note titled 'Misc' to host small tidbits of info that really don't fit elsehere. Naturally, this note has a number of hyperlinks (~84) Recently, I went through the process to add another hyperlink & when I was done, I noticed that it didn't take (there was no hyperlink). I tried a few more times & none took. I also noticed that the last few hyperlinks I added did not take - aaargh. I then went to another note & added the hyperlink without an issue. I created a support request ~3 weeks ago but have heard nothing back. I've searched in Evernote online help & here in the forums & have found nothing about a hyperlink limit within a note. Is there a limit to the number of links I can place within a note? - Windows 7 Pro - Evernote 5.8.3.6507 (274507)

Yes - this would be excellent - I feel strongly that an easy-to-use manual sync is necessary. Over the w/e, I had my 1st data loss. Thankfully, it was only a few lines. I don't know what happened & I was unable to duplicate it. In general, I am quite happy with the upgrade (even though I'm usually in the camp of 'If it's not broke - leave it alone'). Hopefully, the decision-makers will listen to our requests & make the changes.

Just read six pages of this thread & a few others as well, checked the blog, checked the KB, etc. I have not seen an answer posted on the sync staus. Since I go back & forth with multiple devices (& sometimes in areas w/o internet access), I need to know whether notes have sync'd (without having to visit each modified note to check). I saw some notes that some people have turned off background updating. Does that provide an option for manual sync? I know that I'm not the most observant person in the world - so hopefully I've overlooked something.... Ron
