I also agree. Due to the work environment I'm in it is better if I use Microsoft TODO and I would like to import my current Evernote Tasks. For this I would need a CSV with all my Evernote tasks.

I have 20k notes. A lot of potential for messy changes.

Is there any risk? I fear it will mess with my tasks, which are not supported by legacy. I use tasks a lot and I depend on them for my work.

I think it is very related and it shows that the system is not coherent now. Probably tasks live in a separat database, that's why the behaviour is different when you work from the pane or from a note.

I have been using folders to organize my notes for almost 10 years. Now, I need to change to tags, because I want to determine the context with the tag and the team/person with whom I share the note with the folder. This means I have to tag more than 10k notes, and then move them to the new folders. This would mess all updated dates and create great havock. I'm blocked. I cannot apply this change due to this design decision which breaks with the behaviour of legacy Evernote. What should I do? p.s. Furthermore, I cannot edit tags to more than 50 notes at a time, which is also a huge pain.

Everything goes into Evernote. I document all my work, so most large tasks have a note. This is several new notes a day.

Yes. From time to time I uninstall the app and reinstall. It works fine for a time, but then it slows down. Notes seem to sync, after a long time. Tasks never sync correctly.

Yes, but the old Evernote worked very well on phones with limited resources (those that phones had at the time) and now this is not the case. So, it is not only that cheap or old phones are slow, the current software trends are horrible in this regard and computers are becoming slower despite more powerful hardware.

It is sync, not retrieval and tasks. Tasks seem never to be synced. I often open notes and they don't load and I often can't find recent notes, because they have not been synced yet. Concerning note creation, I could not say, as I always write them as e-mails in Gmail and send them to my Evernote account. The last time I tried it was too slow. Same for scans, I now use Microsoft's Offiece Lens and e-mail the results to Evernote. That is sad. I guess I should try again with Evernote directly, but I don't want to lose my notes because the didn't sync and I often I'm on a rush when I need to scan something, so I did not have time to try. I have kids, so no time at home for play with the app. I need results and thus I use the workaround that always works.

Let's not convert this to an Android vs iOS discussion, because it isn't. I fully understand why the new Evernote needs more ressources and why the chose the Electron way. That I understand. Concerning the performance on Android: yes, probably it is lower on Android than on iOS due to how the platforms function at the software and hardware level, but I have many other apps that work well on my old Android phone. I think that there is some wrong with the specific implementation of Evernote and I'm sure there is space for improvement. Other complex apps work well on my phone. A final comment: this situation is sad. Evernote became popular because it was great on phones! I used to use it all the time on older phones, before the transition to the new Evernote, and I'm very sad I lost this. It's frustrating to have to write Evernote notes using the Gmail app (I send emails to my Evernote account). I guess Evernote should send us a new phone every year, so we can use the app, because I have no budget for yearly upgrades! 😉

OK. Thanks. On my ThinkPad (4 year old) it is okay, a little bit slow sometimes, but ok. The problem is a Xiaomi A3 (Snapdragon 665 2GHz, 4GB of RAM).

I am a long time Evernote user and there are currently 20030 notes in my account. I wonder if this may affect performance. Currently, I use Evernote on Windows and Android. On Windows it is fine, a bit slow, but fine. One Android it is too slow, to the point of not being very useful. I wonder if general performance would improve if I reduce the number of notes, maybe by splitting my database into two accounts. p.s. I started to think about this when I discovered that the developers Obsidian Notes state that their app is optimized for up to 20k notes. So maybe Evernote faces similar changes.

I'll explain you an escenario where this is affecting me negatively. Currently, I have all my ~20k notes sorted in a multitude of folders, each one for a project. Now, as I'm collaborating with more and more people, I want to change the system. Now I want to use tags for projects and folders for sharing. So, I would have a folder for personal notes, another for notes shared with a team, then a folder for notes shared with person A, and then another folder for notes shared with person B. Making the change, implies moving almost all my notes. This means that they all will have the same "updated" date and thus everything will be mixed up when notes are sorted by last edit time. This is a mess. So yes, organizing notes should not update their date.

This is great! Thanks! 🙂

I'd like to have an idea of how it works.
