I noted the Web Beta isn't a part of the "Evernote Betas" section of the forum. When will that be added?

I have my tags set up in a hierarchy by type (Date, Places, Topic etc.), when filtering by tag in Evernote for Android it only shows the top layer, not the tags beneath. It should allow for either expanding the hierarchy, or typing in a tag with auto-fill/prediction to easily find the tag I want to filter by.

This is probably something already being worked on, but the Web Beta client doesn't show Tags in Favorites. I use tags to organize my classes, and I make my current class(es) favorites so I can easily access notes, I can't do that in the Web Beta. In the screenshots you can see that MPM357 Project Performance tag is missing in the web beta. Please add Tags to favorites in Web Beta.

Sorry for the light details, it's the web clipper extension on my Chromebook.

Every time I try to use the Web Clipper I get the pop-up to log in, it's successful, and the popup goes away, but the Web Clipper never comes up. Every now and again I'll get a dialog box saying that my browser might be blocking cookies, I've double checked everything, nothing is blocking it. I've cleared all my cookies and reset my browser preferences, and un-installed and re-installed the Chrome extension. This started a couple days ago, not sure what happened to make it not work.

Tables in the app are super narrow and do not expand to fit the display size. Screenshots of issue on my Pixel 3 XL and my Chromebook. Version 8.9.1 on both devices.

@Shane D. SInce there is a new section of the forums just for Beta's, why isn't the Web Beta listed there?

I don't use tag's much for things like non-fiction books, as the different chapters are their own subjects the note title is enough of a description for me. I'll do a few generic tags, but I don't go crazy. The only tags I use for school is the class name. Then each note is titled for the topic, eg, Wk1 Discussion board, Wk2 Defining Project Scope, Wk3 HW Project Charter etc. Search is really easy, I select the one tag for my class, and all of my notes pop up, then I can search within that class. The only thing I go tag heavy on is articles that I've saved in a dedicated archive notebook. I use an asterisk * instead of star or favorite, and subject(s) for example:

What phone do you have?

Google won't reply to your feedback, it's not a two way tool. If you want that I'd suggest using the product forums. https://support.google.com/assistant/?hl=en#topic=7546466https://support.google.com/assistant/community?hl=en

Try saying "Save a note to Evernote" then let it ask what the note is.

There's several ways to get there. The easiest is this: On your phone launch Google assistant, swipe up to view your Assistant inbox, tap on your profile in the top right, settings, slide over to Services, find Lists, you should be able to pick Evernote as your default. If this doesn't work, try saying "save a note to Evernote... test", that should change your default back to Evernote.

Hence the feature request. Obviously the OCR can see, and highlight text after a search, I see no reason why it cannot then perform a copy/past function to "grab" text from an image. Again, the feature request.

I switched from Google Keep to Evernote because Evernote overall is way more powerful. The one feature I sorely miss from Keep is the ability to use OCR to grab text or handwriting from a picture and turn it into actual text in a note. This is incredibly useful for recipes, handwritten to do or checklists, homework notes, meeting notes, basically, this small feature is super useful. Evernote already has powerful OCR, and can search text within an image, I'd like to be able to pull the text out of an image and into an editable note.

I would recommend making an individual note for each topic. Professional Development (Stack) > Stanford Machine Learning (Notebook) >> Logistic Regression (Note) This is how I have my "library" stack set up. I have a notebook for each book, an individual note for each chapter. Library > Book Title >> Chapter 1: The beginning

To sideload an APK, users must specifically disable security settings, which is not something any respectable company or developers wants to do.

Right, so, you want to be able to choose your own security from a company whose service you use, and you want updates from that company, but not security updates, even though said company had had issues in the past with security? That's not how this works. Secondly, I feel like this thread is everyone freaking out that their notes will suddenly disappear and their work will suddenly burst into pixelated flames. Evernote still works on devices running Android 5.x. The only change is that you will not be receiving any updates past Evernote 8.5.3. If you want to install the APK manually, here is a link to a (IMO the only) trusted APK site. APK Mirror is run by the guys over at Android Police. (I am in no way responsible for what happens if you decide to sideload an APK) https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/evernote-corporation/evernote/evernote-8-5-3-release/

It would be great if I could Pin notes to the top of a notebook for quick access whenever I go to that notebook. I know there are shortcuts, but I don't always need constant access to a note(s). 1) If I visit that specific notebook, like my school notebook, I could have my main project pinned to the top, and when I leave my School notebook, it's out of the way. 2) Sometimes I want to edit a note, but not on my phone. If I could Pin it, it would be at the top ready to go when I got home on my computer. 3) To do lists in different Notebooks. I don't want to have 3 to do lists saved to my shortcuts, but if I had one pinned in my Personal, Work and School notebooks, I would still have quick access to them. I'm sure others can think of plenty of other use cases.

Unfortunately, Evernote does not support mobile web. Side note, my feature request that Evernote have a progressive web app, would alleviate this issue.

Confirmed that my Amazon Kindle Fire 8 HD (2017) is based on Android 5.1. Evernote used to work on it, but the 8.6.1 update killed it. Pretty sure there were API changes with that update.

Right, it's two years old and was released with an OS version that's four years old. Google stopped supporting Android 4.x this year, I'm willing to bet that support for 5.x will be dropped next year. Samsung shouldn't of released a new tablet with an old OS version. On the other hand, I agree that Evernote allegedly dropping support for 5.x probably wasn't the best idea. The Evernote 8.6 update killed support on my Kindle Fire, and it's based on Android 5.1.

Even the Evernote Blog has an article arguing for using Notebooks and Stacks as the main organizational method, and tags as a filtering/search supplement. Each has it's strengths, but the potential behind Stacks is being restrained. https://evernote.com/blog/stacey-harmon-michael-hyatt-wrong-organizing-evernote-tags/

They probably dropped support for API level 22, which is the API used in 5.1.1. I don't know why, probably restrictions from the API, or a very small set of users no longer target that API it isn't worth supporting anymore. Developers dropping API support for older versions is regularly done as a part of app maintenance. If Evernote is planning a big update. if there "is a lot more to come in the next months and even more in 2019", dropping API support for older devices on preparation for a big refresh would make sense. Either way, quoting a bunch of stuff from a former CEO, complaining that it doesn't work with an old tablet, and bashing the developers is not s productive conversation. This forum is here to try and help users, not to throw shade at Evernote.

Disagree. Google is going full speed ahead with Web Apps. Full APIs and with Chrome 71 they're bringing even more PWA to mobile as well with the ability to register as an app to share to. Since Chrome is the most used browser in the world, and Microsoft just announced that Edge will be based on Chromium, PWAs are definitely a band wagon that companies with Web platforms need to jump on. Edit: or in my case, I, like many others, use a Chromebook as my main computer. A PWA could mean that Evernote would have a "desktop" app for Chromebooks (and Linux users too). Chromebooks are quickly gaining in popularity, having a web app would be good for usability, but for Evernote, it would be good marketing.
