    If you are on the current version, and something is broken, often a full reinstall will fix it:

    Delete the app, dump all data when asked

    Switch the iPhone completely off. Wait a little, switch on again (Apple logo must show)

    Reinstall the app. Log in, and let it go through the initial syncing before using it.

    Should do now ...

    yes, unfortunately I can confirm re-installation may fix problems. I recently ran into a problem not being able to remove URLs within a note text (using three dots menu and then "remove link" didn't work, nothing happened) on iOS only - Support asked me to re-install the App (I don't like this approach in general and due to many offline notebooks that need a re-download then again...). But, after re-installing the Apps, removal of URLs did work - strange, but it happened...

    please add some more support for Trackpad (e. g. two finger swipe in notes list to delete an entry like Apple Mail does)

    @Shane D.and there is no way to delete a note using Magic Keyboard because it‘s not possible to scroll through the menu after pressing the three dots to reach item „delete note“ at the bottom (scrolling using two finger gesture is not supported, I‘ve to touch the screen instead) - **Update: there is a small handle to extend the menu using Trackpad + hold + move to reach the menu item

    What Evernote calls "Notebooks" seems to function like "folders" when using Windows File Explorer and what Evernote calls "Stacks" seems analogous to "nesting" Folders.  However unlike Windows or even earlier, DOS, Evernote only allows one level of nesting aka stacking.  When I complained about this earlier I was told that the major way to organize Evernote is via "tags" and yet as Evernote has evolved the tag function seems to have stagnated or even now has reduced functionality.  1) Tag access is located below notebooks access and the position cannot be moved.  If tags where that important perhaps they should come first? Second, on recent versions of Windows Evernote access to tags is limited to a single column in contrast to earlier versions of Evernote when I could bring up a multi-columned page of tags.  The single column makes it very hard to organize tags in a logical structure.  So that even though Tags can have multiple nesting levels, it it hard to do this given the limited access to a large group of tags in the most current Evernote versions -- at least the windows versions.  Finally I have no clue as to what the "HOME" toggle is good for.  I have gone into it and except for the scratch pad it seems to have no useful information - yet it comes first and cannot be relocated to a more subservient position.  

     

    I use notebooks only to share a group of notes with others. I don't use them to organize any note, I'm using Tags. The issue I have with folders is, many notes could reside in several folders or notebooks - so, where to place them? no issues with Tags - and being able to drill down searches by selecting Tags is super efficient.

    I also have only a short number of nested Tags (being able to minimize space in the UI by open / close the list view) - groups, nesting - don't need it at all.

    There are tags in any application with search. They are plaintext tags. Use any uncommon letter combination before your tag, and you’re all set.

    e.g. qqAct for action, qqCar for cars, qqFollowUp, qqTax, qqUtilities etc. Then make a search for “qq” and get a list of all tagged records, or search for a particular tag. An added advantage is that these tags can be added both to the note title  and to the individual text lines. And they can be used across multiple apps - you can tag an email, a note, a spreadsheet, and find all records using Windows Search or Spotlight.

    This way, you can use tags in any app or service, and they will be useful even after you move the data to another service.

    this is exactly NOT how tags should be supported by an App - that‘s the reason why some people (those who rely on real tags) miss the legacy tag filter (gone in V10) - if they‘re just a bunch of ‚special‘ text blocks I would go without them.

    It's strange that asking to be able to display Reminders on iPhone, by the most current dates displaying first,  is so difficult for the Evernote Team to provide, especially since this was available until recently. Why would anyone want to see a display that shows a far future Reminder (say scheduled 2 years out, in 2023) first on their display view? So, the Evernote Team (as they often do) have taken something that was working perfectly well before, and broken it. Could we please (please) request the Evernote Team to un-break this display, so we can see a Reminder display order on our iPhones with the  most current due date FIRST? It would be greatly appreciated by many. You could also get innovative and actually give us an option to sort this display order either way (no, this is not difficult to provide). Thank you in advance. Meanwhile, I'll be also looking for other alternative apps, that try hard to give us the functionality and flexibility we need (and deserve, as customers). Thank you       

    this is exactly what I see here - the most current due dates are at the top - as expected. The only issue I have is, those reminders without a due date are the most first ones followed by those with most current due dates - I‘d prefer the see the „without due date“ reminders at the buttom.

    After 12 years on Evernote I have decided it is time to move on. It has the widest feature set of any comparable application but for me it fails and the most fundamental thing and that is finding a note quickly. Having tried both Apple Notes and Simplenote I can get to important notes in a fraction of the time it takes to open Evernote on IOS, and even on Windows. The wide feature set just seems to make it too slow.

    you are a PREMIUM user and you are able to replace Evernote by using Apple Notes? sounds strange to me. Either Apple Notes has tons of new features I’m not aware of or you‘re paying PREMIUM for nothing. 🤷

    Search doesnt seem to be working ...When I create a new note ... close it, and then try to search for it, it doesnt not find it ... finds only previous notes with similar words.

    Why is this this?

    I wish I could just go back to use a previous version of Evernote

    just retry it - it may take a few moments until the server search returns the needed result (initial index of new items)

    So, now "Search" doesn't work at all? Using iOS version of Evernote 10.4, iOS 14.4 It just spins and spins and no results are given.

    Evernote has become more and more worthless. So very frustrating.

    no issues at all* with searching on any V10 client.It is super fast and reliable.

    *) with the exception of shared notebooks from others to me on iOS - have to check this again someday

  9. what exactly do you mean by "revisions"? just changing some parts of the .doc by typing text or is this specific to follow-up (track changes) changes only? could this make a difference? not sure...

    I'm using a lot Pages and Number documents attached to notes, as DTLow mentioned above, and do not have any issues to get changes saved back to these attachments. I just close the window of Pages or Numbers sheet and all changes are applied to the Evernote note attachments automatically.

  10. Update/Workaround: the app doesn't freeze - I can close the main window and then after calling e. g. menu item "create new notebook" the main window is back incl. the "change reminder settings" dialog.

    see this problem more and more, cannot change existing reminders, I can see a white box (this seems to be the reminders setting dialog window) and a never-ending circling green circle, nothing happens any more - I've to quit the app and after re-start I can change the reminder; until the next time seeing the problem...

    Be aware... there appear to be some bugs with this (unannounced) release.  I have had it lock up a few times when trying to change reminders... hopefully they release a fix when announcing the new version.  Is there an easy way to return to a prior release version?

    I always keep the downloads for later use in an archive folder - or use a backup / restore solution...sorry, no other hints.

  12. the only thing I do miss is a real tag filter (currently it‘s just a list of all known tags) to drill down the notes list by tags in use. Setting the GPS location in notes details on Mac is missing, too.

    On my 3 - 5 years old Macs it runs pretty good (= fast) since recently updates; on iOS you need, indeed, a fast device.

    I don‘t use any encryption on EN - those data is stored on a different tool.

    Legacy version has been retired here 🙂
