I don't seem to have the right to vote for the moment...Evernote team's revenge? Enjoy Christmas Gazumped! (PS I had no idea about all that privacy stuff. I always feel like it's a battle we have lost whatever happens...but it seems not.)

We are all "reaching out" to Evernote, which seems to be the latest corporate-speak for "email". It just sounds so emotional doesn't it? Reach out. Wow! But you can do all the reaching you want, Evernote is hiding in a cupboard. Enjoy your Christmas in there, Evernote!

For optimism...Go Gazumped! I'm with you all the way!

It's a secret sensor developed by bored engineers. It detects a high level of dissatisfaction with the product and makes predictions accordingly.

yes...it would be nice to see a league table plus a request for those who have never voted to do so...

You have received an acknowledgement of your request (29th June). There won't be anything else. Some people think that that is more or less enough. They will basically tell you this: you have made the request and been thanked, people have voted, Evernote knows that people think the tool is important and that is what this forum is for. You should expect nothing else because Evernote is a business and they naturally may have other priorities beyond those of individual users. In any case, we should not expect them to give any indication of whether a highlighting tool is in the pipeline as that would mean giving information to the opposition. And what would we say if something went wrong and the promised tool never appeared? If you want something better, they suggest, use the stand alone version for Windows or Mac. They may well be absolutely right. But that does not make many of us feel any better. Fingers crossed for an absolutely new Web version some time in 2017!

Nobody knows anything ian. We never know. The requests pile up. people vote for them, there is the occasional note of thanks from an Evernote employee with maybe a vague promise or a "thanks"...but the months go past and nothing happens. We get told that all of the work is going on "under the hood", which may be true but has nothing to do with the features that users are writing about here. It is a pretty depressing situation, to be honest,.

That question. If you get an answer to it, I'll take my hat off to you!

They have other priorities... https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2016/09/14/evernote-comes-windows-store-edge-outlook-app/ Where the big money is...

No. It doesn't hurt. It would, though, be nice to see this now and again: "You have voted for X...and here it is."

Does voting for something actually produce results? I have not been following how people have been voting so I am actually in the dark about this one.

It received 7 votes in this thread. The thread was begun on October 31 2013 and the last post was written 6 June 2016 273 replies. Those engineers must be having a tough time finding a solution. Pity, because a lot of users make reference to headaches etc. Maybe there is no solution. But if that is the case, we won't be told. Better to keep us hanging on. Otherwise we might just go elsewhere. The whole web version story and the repeated lack of attention to users requests is shameful, really.

Well, that would be good news. But why don't they tell us about it?

Haven't you noticed that almost no requests ever result in anything changing on the Web Client? This page is full of pleas for features to be added or improved, most of them under thick layers of dust and concealed by enormous spiders webs. Most users give up after a while, realising that Evernote will do whatever it does (if indeed it ever does anything) whenever it wants to and not before. I keep writing on this block because I hate the idea that the company might think it can fool all of the people all of the time. They seem to operate under the premise that the average user has a mental age of 10. 'Fraid not.

Force feeding Rob.

Plans? We should be so lucky! Check the date of the last build release. A quarter of a year has gone by. Plans?

Nobody knows why things aren't on the new version. Not knowing is an intrinsic part of the Evernote experience. The default mode for this forum is: Detect a problem/lack ------> comment on it -------> live in permanent hope. We users live in a state of chronic ignorance. We are like cave dwellers searching the skies for the arrival of a comet.

Indeed. But they are taking their time....

A lot of these negative reactions to the Web Beta would not appear if Evernote came up with some kind of detailed declaration of intent in response to requests and complaints made on this site. But that has not happened. And I am not sure that it ever will, as it does not with Google, for example. Things don't work that way. Maybe the organisation is overstretched on the technical side. Maybe the amount of Web Beta use compared with the stand alone version on Windows and Mac machines just does not justify the investment required to hurry along Web Beta improvements, even apparently minimal ones. But boy has progress been slow! Companies like Evernote or Google make the changes that they think will boost their profits. That is the name of the game: there is no other. Capitalism is capitalism. And the changes that do come down the tube now and again may or may not coincide with the desires of users. It's a lottery. We should be used to it by now and will just have to be content when the occasional update hits the spot. Above all, patience fellow posters... signing out from Madrid.
