Like many users, I also use bullet lists. I have not noticed any issues in the two days since EN auto-updated to the new version.

Roughly how many bullets in a note does it take to have noticeable slowing occur?

Please fix this Windows Desktop Evernote Performance issue, that got really bad at about version 10.68.1.  I normally use Evernote every day to create notes, but now it's not even usable because it can take about 10 minutes just to generate a new blank note.

Interesting (& sad) to hear. Thankfully, I don't have these issues and (knock-on-wood), EN has been functioning very well on windows with the new versions coming out every other week or so. Hopefully you (&/or EN) can figure out what's wrong because I don't want to even think about moving to another program.

[quote]I was force to update to newest version some days ago, stating the old version will be unusable.[/quote]Ditto - but about 2-3 weeks ago. I have not had the issues you mention (knock on wood).

My main concerns are:

- version updates are now automatic. I'm not a fan of this with any app/program. I prefer to wait a while and see how the new code functions.

- there is no manual sync. This is mostly from my long history with EN and getting conflicting notes (and the time-consuming issues of sorting them out)

Overall, the functionality has been very good. Sometimes when I switch from Windows to iPhone, there will be a lag in getting the iPhone up to date but generally things are going in the right direction. I hope everything continues in this direction.

This thread does a decent job of sharing experiences similar to my own - duplicate notes, taking forever to sync, losing data, etc.

I've now started to create a new note when not at my desk. Then I'll deal with putting the information where it should actually be later in my Windows version (legacy).

I'm going to explore using the notes app to do the same thing as I find that when I'm outside, I'm reluctant to even open Evernote due to all the issues.

How far this software (& company) has fallen in the last few years is truly sad.

iPhone SE II, ios: newest version, Evernote: latest version

You don’t tell anything enlightening …

Running EN 10.32 on several iOS devices I can only report the best (with ideas on how to make it still better).

Yes _ I realized as I was writing that it was just a general sharing of frustration. However to make it useful would have required: 1) a lot of writing in 2) a Windows thread (ie: not ios) so I opted to leave it as a general post of unhappiness. Suffice to say that most of the issue(s) revolve around sync (or lack of or not knowing for sure when it happens). Just after my original post I had **another** conflicting post - aaargh!!

If they can cure their Android app...

I recently updated my iPhone & had horrible experience(s). Hopefully this was/is isolated ...

The latest version of Evernote 10 is faster. It's still not as fast as Evernote legacy, but it's definitely zippier. 

Thank you. This may slow down my need to search for alternatives.

On a different (but related) note, is there a list of Legacy 'features' which do not appear in v10? (like offline notes, clipper(?), etc). Since EN will only highlight stuff they *have* in v10 & not the stuff they took out, I can't count on them for this list. I suspect that it's somewhere in the forum but likely in individual complaint posts.

The other solution ...

Care to share what you went with? I'm saving the various options (in an EN page - LOL) for when I'll potentially need to make the move. I don't like the current level of uncertainty but moving to another company's solution also brings risk.

Tangentially.. I haven't done a systematic survey, but in recent days I've noticed that my note links are no longer working. (Formerly created in legacy, trying to use now in legacy)

Just tested mine (Legacy) & they're working. Links are in the top 5 most important things for me in EN. Did I read somewhere that links don't work in V10???

Evernote v10 has a default limit of 50 notes per export if you do this by selecting NOTES and then exporting but there is a way around this. Export by NOTEBOOK.

Is the same process used for exporting from EN Legacy?

I actually used export in enex format because I was moviing to another service that supported that format on import   

Are you trying out a new service or officially moving?

The Legacy product can be downloaded from https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote

Many thanks! I've now got it installed on the new computer - for how long - no one knows. I'll just have to deal with learning curve, slowness & lack of useful/comfortable features once they take the Legacy version away. (Hopefully, the competition sees what's going on & starts to create better options with easy migration).

It's such a shame when companies lose their focus and make decisions that are counter to customer satisfaction. Some time in the past two years LastPass did something similarly idiotic. I thought I could wait them out but after a month or so, I gave up, did my homework and moved to another password manager.

I recently built a new computer and had saved the URL to directions on how to return to the legacy app. Now that I'm up on the new computer, I find that the thread with directions has apparently been deleted.

Is it possible for me to get the legacy app on my new computer?

 btw  The latest Evernote product (v10) no longer supports Local Notebooks   
         The Evernote Legacy product still supports Local Notebooks

Is this also true for mobile? I'm frequently in locations with no internet access (no phone service at all), if I cannot have my notes locally on the phone, they are completely unavailable (not good!).

Side question (as I'm searching for the answer elsewhere on the forums): is it still possible to go back to the 'Legacy Version'? I bookmarked the directions on how to do it and now that I'm on a new computer (& need the directions), it appears that the thread has been deleted.

Older thread but the question remains relevant. I just had an issue w/ EN that required me to kill the program in task manager. I noticed that the program was still 32-bit, so started to search interwebs to ensure I'm not running an old, feeble version. This thread gave me my answer & provided a bit of an education along the way (many thanks to prior posters).

However, now I'm curious. Is there a rough timeline for a 64-bit Windows-based Evernote?

That works, thanks. Did discover a workaround: upon initially opening the note, press and hold inside the note. That puts the cursor there and selects that text. Then one can abort then stay and navigate at the front (top) of the note. Thank heavens for these forums.

Yes - thank you for this workaround. As others noted, it started with updated to ios 12.x. The workaround is a lifesaver!
