I truly appreciate the effort the new team has been putting into Evernote. Frequent updates/fixes. I was skeptical at first, but I'm happy to say that the product is definitely worth the price. I use it all the time, both as a Windows app and on mobile.

Red, I hope this is only an occasional issue. I have recently noticed this a couple of times on Android. But typically closing the app (sweeping it off the screen) once or twice and the note comes up. Interestingly I can see part of the note in the search results that bring it up. There is usually no issue with it, but I have seen it once or twice in the last few weeks. This -could- simply be an Internet glitch, where the data is "stuck" somewhere between server and user. This remains much less an issue with current versions (they are still issuing regular updates) than it was in the past. I am not trying to be a yes-man for the Evernote team. I really find Evernote invaluable, and hope it continues to improve.

Happy to say I'm not posting here to complain. This thread hasn't been appended-to in some time, which is a good sign. I was initially not pleased with the price increase, given how buggy Evernote was, and also wondering if the new owner was simply milking the user base for profit. I was investigating other options; then I got a discount offer and renewed Evernote. Seems to me now that the product continues to improve, with a seemingly endless stream of updates/patches - none of which has damaged/lost any of my data FAICT. So here's hoping that the Evernote team keeps up the good work. So far I'm quite pleased with where the product is going.

I suggest that you report all issues to the Evernote people. Seems like every other time I open the Windows client, there's an update. This leaves me thinking that they are serious (for a welcome change) about getting this thing right. I hope I'm not wrong about this!!!! As do many of us, I live in Evernote so much of the time, and have found the desktop, browser and Android versions to be improved (Windows 10 / Pixel 6 Pro).

OK will try that! Hoping that either the reload thing goes away OR I get some kind of status report of why the hangup.

October 5, 2023 - Android app, Pixel 6 Pro, fully patched, stock ROM. LATEST version of the app. Some notes take FOREVER to load. I sometimes FQ and try again. Saved some IMPORTANT info to a note and ONLY THE TITLE survived. Body info was completely missing. Luckily I still had the data, so I needed to re-enter it. Evernote needs an option to SAVE and REFRESH a note which could be used optionally. Self-explanatory: It should save the note and refresh the screen to show it's saved.

I have taken the $6.50/mo offer for EN Personal (does all I need and has stuff I don't need but there you are). Good for the next year. Hoping to find a usable alternative by the end of the 12-mo sub. NoteJoy negatives: Search issues as noted previously, and no serious offline mode - I think you need to specify just what notes you want to use offline. This is effectively useless. OneNote is a sync nightmare so it's out of the running for the time being. FAICT, fat chance of Microsoft actually fixing this.

FYI Now that I'm on the free version of EN, I just got another offer, good until 9/7, for 40% off, or $6.50/month.

Haven't seen him on this thread.

As I said, that kinda speaks volumes. I don't recall an "official" forum (in which I participate) where some company representative or another doesn't take an obvious interest. This here ain't Reddit.

To me, the fact that anyone from Bending Spoons or Evernote isn't making comments here is notable in itself. No pun intended.

EN could easily have been sold because of its profitability or perceived market potential. These kinds of things happen every day. But yes indeed, folks airing their grievances is fair play here. Just hope it doesn't stray into abusive ranting, which does no good.

It's not that I don't like OneNote. It's simply not completing the sync process. All my EN notes are in there, but there are constant sync errors. I have a case open with Microsoft, but that's moving along much too slowly. We'll see.

Noted (no pun intended) again and again: One size does not fit all. The EN price increase is to me predatory and unacceptable, so I've switched to the free version, but have migrated all existing notes to NoteJoy and OneNote. Putting all new entries into NoteJoy. Previously-reported issues with OneNote sync are still not resolved, and NoteJoy works fine except that its searches are sub-optimal, also as previously reported: If you enter two words in NoteJoy search, you'll get back ALL notes that contain EITHER of those words, and not only the notes that contain BOTH those words. A pain but I can live with it for now. NoteJoy support says they're working on this, but I won't hold my breath.

I understand about the erratic results. Forgot to mention, as this was only a recent thing with me. Had to close and re-open the Windows app for results to be OK. Takes seconds on this machine so it didn't bother me much. I'm now on the free version, plus still checking out NoteJoy, and putting all new entries into that. Aside from the search issues (annoying), it seems to be good.

Negative comment on NoteJoy searches: A search in NoteJoy for (for example) microsoft browser will return ALL results containing microsoft OR browser, NOT just notes that contain both words, which is what EN does properly This is a huge minus for NoteJoy. They tell me that they are planning to enhance this search capability, but I'm not holding my breath.

@philrodo You're being all-too reasonable. Wacky of them, huh?

OK then. I am quite pleased so far with NoteJoy. Logged into EN to cancel my sub, effective in a few days when the annual agreement renews, and ONLY THEN do they offer me 40% off. Too little-too late. Sorry Folks. Switching to EN free version for as long as it still works, but will be entering all new notes into NoteJoy. The rest of you who want to stay with EN, try canceling and check the radio button for something like "too expensive" and see what happens. Should go without saying, but I won't fault you for wanting to stay with EN - as if it's even my place to do so. I'll try my best to come back here and comment on any negative issues with NoteJoy (Solo version $48/year - app is installed now on 3 devices, plus there's still Web access). Edit: Hey, here's another plus for NoteJoy - runs instantly on FireFox; EN on the web only runs on Chromium-based browsers (I believe) AND can take some time to load. And just for fun, I also opened it successfully and ran searches in Internet Explorer, which I have "tricked" into still running on Windows 10 - IE is needed here for a legacy app or two that refuses to run in IE Mode on Edge.

Ya. Silly me (really). I thought you were talking about Microsoft Teams. I should been paying more attention.

Not sure Teams is an apples-to-apples comparison. But isn't Teams bundled with most if not all Microsoft 365 subs, and is much less than that?

The Solo version of NoteJoy seems to be just that (Solo), and the price is right. The EN price increase is just too much, especially given the much less expensive competition. It's not that I can't afford it - I can, but the increase ticks me off, and the EN program has been balky lately on top of it all. This is not the way a company should treat what might have been its still-loyal customers. My total notes database is under 200MB and currently just over 4K notes. NoteJoy maxes out at 5GB for $4/mo. I've now been using it for a few days since importing my EN data, and am impressed enough to keep it. All my EN data is there, and it looks and works fine. I have the ENEX (EN Export file) if needed and also have the full EN database in OneNote (which is still not syncing properly so it's just a backup at this point). There are now 5 days until my EN sub rolls over to monthly (so I have an escape plan), but so far if all is still well I'm not even going to let that kick in.

@s2Sailor Thank you. I did not see this option until I looked for it after your post. This is indeed an option. I have no issue exporting the notes as a group. This clearly obviates the need to find and install legacy EN as well.

EN to OneNote: Current versions of EN only allow you to export 100 notes at a time. You'll want to download the legacy version 6.25 of EN. It reads the EN database just fine and allows you to export all notes at once. You select all the notes and export them, making sure that you select the option to not export tags. This excellent free standalone Windows program will do the import for you into desktop OneNote from the resulting ENEX file (Thank you Stefan!): Evernote2Onenote - Stefans Tools (stefankueng.com) BTW EN 6.25 will live alongside the latest version of EN on your Windows PC, but it will nag you to update it. Just ignore that for the time being. EN to NoteJoy: NoteJoy does not require you to export EN. It can log into EN with your credentials and bring the notes over. The free version is limited to 100MB of data. I needed the $4/month version, paid yearly. That maxes out at 5GB, but I have well unter 1GB of notes at this point after many years of EN use. The issues syncing OneNote continue, with all suggestions that Microsoft has made proving useless. NoteJoy might just end up being my choice, also considering that it's now paid-for.

Current versions of EN only allow you to export 100 notes at a time. You need to get the legacy version 6.25 of EN. It reads the EN database just fine. You then select all the notes and export them, making sure that you select the option to not export tags. This excellent free program will do the import for you from the resulting ENEX file:

My OneNote account is having constant sync issues with the EN data I've imported. It's fine on the machine I imported into but cloud sync and hence sync with other devices is incomplete. I've noted this here recently. Looking into NoteJoy. I still have a few days until EN renews, but I've already switched EN to a monthly plan. Will almost certainly be out of EN, however, by renewal time. Bending Spoons, your greed disgusts me.
