Yes I am addressing other users. Sorry but I have tried contacting EN on numerous occasions and find it a black hole. Does any of the feedback posted here ever come to their attention?

Right now I plan to let my paid subscription lapse when it finishes and will not renew until this fundamental issue is addressed. This failing makes the app incredibly cumbersome to use. Every time I begin a new note I must 'select all' and change the font size to one that is large enough to be readable on my iPhone. (Even then, when I hit enter to start a new line, the app reverts back to the default tiny font.) That hassle is a game changer for me. Right now I have switched to using my Word app for notes. It's not optimal but at least I can set a default font, the most basic of features one would think. Wake up Evernote. You're losing customers.

Same here. It doesn’t work. This is basic functionality we’re talking here. Is this even on the Evernote radar? Do they even read these discussions?

Of these three I've found number 2 to be the best work around. If your attachments are photos they will convert. If your attachments are voice memos, sorry but there is still no way to retrieve these files. They are permanently locked in to evernote. I've abandoned using the built in audio recorder and have switched to using a hand held digital recorder, which gives me files I can easily upload into Word. But again this creates more work for me because I have to make sure my audio files are coordinated with the correct note in EN.

He says, dripping with sarcasm.

It's not a word processor it's a note taker which makes it only all the more imperative that they have some kind of a functional export system to get the document into a word processor. This is one of the biggest downfalls of an otherwise very capable application. The fact that they have never recognized this or begun work on a solution, is just mind boggling.

Your answer, along with most of the others above, begs the question: why is the solution always a work-around? Mature applications identify these kinds of problems and get to work on solutions immediately. From what I can gather here, this problem is not even on EN's radar, not even a priority. Not even some sort of acknowledgment like yeah we know the problem exists and we're working on it. Instead we get lame Mr. Fixit type advice. Nothing personal. There's a lot that's good in the application. But it's time for EN to step up to the plate and demonstrate they are listening to their users. Not listening is what gets applications (like Twitter) in trouble. Thanks for the tip on AudioNote though. I'll check it out. But there again, if I find it useful do I really even need EN?

While taking notes I like to audio record certain portions of the meeting/lecture, either to document the speaker's style or to have a record of a speaker's tone & salient points. Or maybe use them in a multi-media presentation. There are many reasons. Currently there is no way to get these out of EN and into MSWord, or a media editor. This is big. A sophisticated export function can handle this task. A crude, brute cut & paste operation cannot. Using a third party app to do what EN should? Again, more unnecessary work. My work flow begins with note taking and proceeds to word processing. I think most/many users have the same or similar process. For EN to not provide a simple efficient path between the two is a deal breaker for me. I think I will try using Pages for awhile. It is cloud based, allows for sharing work between users and provides a smooth transition to the next stage of Word processing. These are fundamental work sharing tasks. Can it really be the case that EN doesn't think they are critical!/! I'm dumbfounded.

Cut & paste? Really? That's a kludgy solution at best. What about formatting? What about audio notes? What about photos? Believe me I've tried both cut & paste and HTML export/import. They both require extensive re-formatting of work already done in EN. And a complete loss of audio recorded. If Apple's Pages can give us export to Word, why not Evernote? Believe me it is a big deal. No one wants to have to redo work.

That answer in facetious. MS Word is the de facto standard for WP on PCs. Thus it should be a top priority. Evernote is great for taking notes but not for heavy document processing. You need a word processor for that. Not making it as easy as possible to export your notes into such is simply a glaring omission. And for many a deal breaker. Evernote may have other business reasons for not implementing this "must have" solution but certainly not the one you stated. Until they make this path from En -> MSWord easier, EN will remain a hobbled application.
