    I've been an Evernote user since 2012 and a premium subscriber since 2014.  I use the Mac client (v7) on my work machine, two home Windows machines on 6.25, my phone (iOS) and iPad Pro.  I've been using Mac at work since July and been loving the dark mode.  The functionality seems to have some odd omissions versus the Windows client but nothing I couldn't live with.  I came to this post after googling for the copy/paste issue from Outlook, which for a while I thought was user error (I've been getting used to MacOS keyboard shortcuts) or a setting.

    So I didn't even know there was a v10 version until googling.  I got excited for a minute or two... then I started reading the feedback and got worried. 

    I've got 3700+ notes , about 3000 of which are work related.  I'm very concerned about the time and effort involved in migrating them to another platform, and the cognitive effort to get used to it.  I just don't have the time for that right now!  A while back I tried to migrate to OneNote due to restrictions on my old Win 10 work laptop, and it was a disaster.  The import mangles the notebook stack/notebook/note structure and doesn't do multiple tagging!   

    So I'm now thinking I'll have to find something else.  I'm yet to find something that meets my requirements.  Having recently paid my yearly subscription I've now got just under a year to research and switch.  UNLESS some of the things I'm reading here change!  No local notes?? That's ridiculous! My internet is pretty good but if I couldn't refer to my notes during an outage it would be disastrous!  The web version is ok as a backup if I'm on a different device but isn't a suitable platform for the main reference.  This might be the kick I needed to spend some time rolling my own.

    We migrated on Joplin and all ok. Now we are looking for more modern tools. WE are checking on clickup and nimbus.

  2. For a productivity app, you need way too many clicks. Shame on you, Evernote.

    NOW LET'S FINALLY PICK AN ALTERNATIVE.

    I had some decent candidates when before the new CEO, the Evernote had sync and speed issues. It's time to exit this indian-style-of-working and stop accepting productivity loss as a way to go. 

     

    I just paid my annual subscription, so plenty of time to migrate my data. Unhappy me, they don't deserve my money anymore.

  3. Thanks for the reply.

    On one desktop, I didn't sync, so I could see for one note that it was stored in another notebook instead of the inbox. Last modif date was Dec 2019. So after the sync on my desktop, this note got moved to the inbox. I also have a lot of empty, "untitled" notes (merged notes?).

    Strange all this.

    Now, I have set the Evernote sync as background process on my phone, so it will sync the whole time.

    This is definitely a sync problem with some old notes from 2019. I use Evernote for years, and syncing has always been a bit of a problem for this software.

    Re-installing the app is maybe a good idea...

    Thanks for your support Pinky 🙂

  4. Hello,

    I have a strange problem. I have multiple devices with Evernote installed (Windows, iOS). On one iPhone, I do not use often the app, so it it sometimes closed for months. On my other devices, my inbox had 30-40 issues only, and sync are done all the time.

    When I open the app on the old iPhone, it syncs again a bunch of old notes to the server, and I end up on other devices with 301 notes in my inbox instead of 30-40 (all dated by today). These notes have been sorted in other notebooks,  but for a strange reason, the old iPhone uploads again some notes in the inbox. Often these are old notes. I do not know what selection criteria he uses.

    I have to spend time again to organize these old notes in their respective notebooks again. At the end, all devices are synced with 250 new notes.

    In case my device is synced in background, I have no sync problems. It is only when I have a device that is not synced for months, where I have a problem, and I end up with old notes.

    Anyone has seen this error where old notes gets restored ?
