Yeah... this is my challenge as well. Obsidian is great...but seems to be a learning curve and people are saying "If you tweak it" which already sounds complicated for a 57 year young ADHD Guy like myself to relearn a new dog trick.

Then perhaps they shouldn't have fired all the staff over here until they were able to handle the problems that are happening. I appreciate the link to see the status. (not something that seems to be jumping up and down for others to easily find) Although the complaints were coming before the reported layoffs, that would seem to indicate they had problems already and Bending Spoons just didn't care and said F-It, Your fired. We need to stop paying people. That Bending Spoons does not respond to the 3 other requests I have put in to different contact locations at their company kind of shows their Long Time Set-Up company is already bad with customer support. So it is only going to get worse in my mind.

All good suggestions. I will try it. I have just one MacBook and iPhone and iPad. Don't have the legacy open except when I need to print something and you can't get it to properly print on the new stuff.... BUT as to getting an Instant Auto Reply... that isn't the problem. That I (and others) don't get any further follow up, even with multiple re-contacting them, that is the REAL CRUX of the problem. No Communication. No help when things go sideways. They have fired all the staff without letting us the paying public know they will have some bumps as they reduce staffing, move the servers to their own country and really don't give us any justification for the price increase as they are saving money on staff now (less staff).

Notes take a minute or more to open now. It’s consistently taking more time to open and not getting better on my side of things. And then I have asked for help repeatedly on multiple forms and at multiple sites from the company. And I’ve received no help.

My original post was asking for suggestions of other apps in the one that I was considering.. So your comment about my attitude and response. Was responding back to them not doing what I originally asked. But instead being fanboy, waving Finatticz, just acting angry towards me. True I can sometimes come off as abrasive in my words when it’s in text. But in person I’m a really sweetheart of a guy. I already stated at the beginning what my issues were. They have it stopped working appropriately. It was take a minute or more for each note to open up. That I was receiving no response or help back from Evernote since they fired all the staff. That there are reports out there that other people are also having the same problems. And the list of things that the other app does, are very similar to Evernote. That is why I posted it.. I am sorry that my use case is underwhelming to you. My mind only boggles it what amazing things you’re able to accomplish. That this dumb mortal can barely dream about much less comprehend.

First off you manipulated the way you posted my language and did it in a way that was being basically an A-Hole response. So don’t play the doughy eyed innocent. it did not answer my question that I put out there originally. It was just being a flag-waving fan boy of EN. and not anything more than that. Certainly, I was not complaining that they moved to Europe. I was stating that since they fired all the staff in America, that the app had stopped working properly for me. That I was not getting any help responses back from Evernote. That I noted that there were more and more people complaining that, Evernote staff was not responding to their help inquiries. And I was asking other people who are probably searching around for alternative apps, due to the pricing increase and the lack of function happening. If there were perhaps other apps that were like EN besides the ones I was considering.

Thanks for actually doing what no one else seems to of done at the moment. Actually, give me a suggestion. Instead of getting all defensive and rally behind EN without listening to the reasons I am looking to move. Because the app has stopped working properly and people are not getting back to me or others to help fix things. You might research bear as to you will not be able to do folders (at least act is a complaint I saw on one persons review on replacing EN with Bear instead... also, Bear is only Mac Based, if that matters to you at all)

And how long ago did you try this? I am doing a seven day trial. I’ve imported notes. I’ll try exporting a note. If you tried this a long time ago then your complaints may not be true anymore. Did your AI check it out for the current stuff? Because I’m not finding that in any of the reviews I’ve been looking at. And then you got triggered fast. I asked for alternatives, not for people to ***** and complain to me because I’m making a choice for change. And choose not to stick with an app that no longer seems to give you any support, that the notes take a minute or more to access. Things just start NOT working on Evernote anymore. So you say I should stay in a broken marriage as well? no matter how bad it gets. Because they’re could be other better people to have a relationship with? I think the world is about choice.

Well @gazumped, I already mentioned I’m looking at Nimbus Notes that is pretty much a duplicate of Evernote as it is. But with actual support, with the less expensive subscription price, imports Evernote, quite easily, and you are not waiting a minute plus for each of your notes that you access to open up. It includes to do’s, and a clipper app, and I can scan into it. As well as access it on my computer, on the web, on my iPad, on my phone. So I was just wondering if anyone else had an alternative solution beyond that particular one. And I’m glad that you aren’t having issues with Evernote and you don’t mind that you don’t get any kind of support feedback, no matter where you write them. Evernote, bending spoons site, Twitter, I have tried them all contact them And if you look in forums you will see others are having problems with Evernote as well. But as long as you’re fine with a less responsive app with non-responsive staff. And paying more money for less services. You have fun as well. But after 10+ years. I think it’s time to make a change.

JUST Updating the facts as so many responses have been not answering the question but being Defensive about my thinking of moving on from EN. So I will state I do not take it lightly to be moving my whole system to another app. I Have been an EN User for well over 10 YRS and Paying PRO Prices to support them. I was a big fan of Phil's who started the company. And I was sticking with the company when he left and the internet was abuzz with 'EN Is Dying'. SO, what seems to miss most responses is - My Current Notes now take 1+ minutes to open. I have written support and get tickets saying they will get back to me. BUT as of several weeks and several times contacting Evernote Support I keep not being answered and now all of Evernote Staff in the US appears to have been fire., I am beginning to suspect that Bending Spoons is run be a heartless AI with video projections of people. (People missed that this was Sarcasm... so let me now make it clearer #Sarcasm... there, now no misunderstandings, maybe) So with No Support Response and my notes access problems getting worse, I am starting to look to alternatives that are close to Evernote. So far Nimubs Notes seems like a good Evernote Like Alternative. But open to other suggestions. Please list your app choices and the reason for your choice / maybe some of the functions the alternative app provides. Please DO NOT attack me because I am looking at other options. I realize there are Fanatics out there for so many things, including EN. So try to recognize that I am making this inquiry because I cannot get support and the app is not working properly. BUT if you choose to attack, then give actual FACTS with Links for why is so wrong with my choice and not just state Rumor or Speculation about Nimbus Notes if you Don't have Actual Experience with it. Please DO response if you have an actual alternative app suggestion and why. I figured there are others looking at possible alternatives and were still on the forums. SO I Thought I would ask Evenote Users that might have some two cents advice to give. NIMBUS NOTE PRODUCT OVERVIEW (Just listing some of what they do just like Evernote) All-new note editor Groups, workspaces, folders, and subfolders Public links to share notes, documents, images, and videos Various collaboration features Document search and image recognition (OCR) Set colors to folders and notes Reminders Send emails to Nimbus Note Screenshot and screencast tools AND UNLIKE EVERNOTE... They let you do folders within folders within folders and let you color code the folders)

I am looking at Nimbus Notes as my new Evernote. It is like Evernote before it got super complicated and less expensive. PLUS you can do multiple folders within folders within folders if you wish… Unlike Evernote.

I too have been having issues. Yet now that I hear Bending Spoons fired everyone from Evernote, and the list of complaints of no one responding to and actually able to fix the issues of Paid Clients. I am losing faith and as my Paid Renewal date fast approaches, I am starting to look at Nimbus Notes as Evernote’s Replacement.

I too have the problem. It also is present in another 3rd party app as well Intuit Quickbooks Self-Employed. So does this me 3rd party people aren't being supported?
