I would love to have something like this too.Discovering a note that you completely forgot is fun, sometimes powerful and can lead to new ideas. I wish the notes were numbered, so at least I could generate a random number in Excel and go to that note. Even that would work. To generate something close to this, I select ALL NOTES view and scroll to a random location to see the notes in that section. Or select different arbitrary tags from the tag view to see what it would generate. But of course, it is not as random as it could be when you are selecting the scroll location or the tags since subconsciously I would make choices without even noticing.

This is "General" discussions, so I would think you should be able to comment about the forum as well, since it will be Evernote related. Go for it I say!

I understand and get that. But if the software is not usable, meaning losing content, cursor disappearing etc. that is opposite of the mission statement (or whatever you want to call it)....remember everything. Every department will have different priorities and they will not match mine at all but when the CORE value is not working, people should switch priorities. So when it is about the core function of Evernote which is working as a note taking app, is not operating properly, I would expect priority shift. I am not talking about feature request, or an inconvenience, a core function. At least, that's how I operate in my business. When there is a safety violation or an issue, my priority is already dictated by that. Core problem. One might argue that, those versions are still working etc. To me they are not unfortunately. Cheers!

When I was reading the blog post, the 225,000,000 users made me think of something.... I feel like there is a lot of good feedback / complaining and bug reporting here in the forums. So I say, why are they ignoring some of these stuff? Thus, I looked at the numbers: There are 437,856 posts according to the 1st page in the forums. Assuming, each of these posts are by individual users (which they are not, but let's assume for this argument) 437K/225Mil = 0.19% So are they treating it 0.19% of the users are making suggestions and 99.81% is content?!?!?! Of course, there are the tickets and the twitter accounts that receives reporting too which I don't have any numbers of. In short, I wonder if having 225 million users providing false confidence to some executives about the product. To me, if you used any of the Windows versions 6.8 thru 6.13, you would really think about the quality of what you are releasing. If my team was producing that kind of obvious mistakes (we don't deal with bugs in construction, they are mistakes...COSTLY mistakes I must add), I would really stop and reconsider a lot of things. Nonetheless, maybe a little of the subject, but that's what made me think of. The new logo is nice, I get the marketing side of things, but what makes marketing great when the product matches the marketing quality and the efforts.

Unfortunately, you cannot just change the tables and not change your version.

Everybody threatens to leave Evernote to go to Google Keep or other apps. Someone is coming to Evernote from Google Keep! It is a nice change around here, positive post. What was not working with Google Keep for you? What made Evernote attractive over that? If you don't mind sharing of course.

The ink note feature is indeed limited and it is not great. When I had an iPad Pro, I was using Penultimate app which would integrate with Evernote nicely and you would have all your handwritten notes in Evernote. Its interface is really nice too, you can select type of the page, zoom in to write more precisely etc. I don't think Penultimate has a Windows version, thus I would recommend looking for an app similar to it and that would talk to Evernote nicely.

Has anybody messed with Tangle alpha so far? I created a note or two so far. Importing from Evernote is not perfect for formatting so did not really spend too much time on it. Anybody?

6.7 was working out for me as far as photos, images disappearing goes but this happened the other day: Out of the blue, these screenshots I had went away and the note history does not show any previous versions. Save All Attachments options did not work this time either. I am still scared to upgrade to 6.13 or 6.14....frustrating but I chose to remain on 6.7.

Welcome to the forums. I assume when you say you bookmarked a page, you used the web clipper and clipped a page as bookmark into Evernote. Is that correct? When you save the bookmark like that, Evernote will list the link as it is in your address bar and search will find it with no issues.

Hate to see a fellow Evernote user go but if it is not working out for you, so you have to find something works for you for sure. I am curious to find out about your Notion use for sure. That app intrigued me for sure. Nonetheless, good luck with the new system.

Notion seems really strong and has a lot of features for sure. It has aroused my interest and I am looking into it. But it is definitely not a simple app. Over the years, I started to value and understand the significance of "simplicity" for sure.

I use the CTRL + ; for the date and time stamp on Windows app everyday when I am updating my notes and I would love a button in the iOS app for the same. Rebellions are built on hope...we all should keep on hoping.

So far, I've found the Linkedin Profile Context the most useful. It sticks out better than the others because of the profile photo. The other notes show random snippets so it is hard to decipher on the fly. You have to take the time to read the title etc. to see if it is really relevant. Now I am looking an receipt from the grocery store pharmacy, the context shows me 6 notes that are receipts from the same grocery store. Nothing genius there at all. But my note with the receipt mentions the ear infection I am dealing with, and I have other notes about the doctor visit I did and the medication photo with the Rx number etc. So if it was pulling those notes, then I would say that is brilliant. Pulling other receipts is very straight forward. Make the connections from the content to the other notes, that's where the "making connections easily" comes to play in my opinion. Hope this helps.

I agree, it does come down whether you can justify the cost vs. the value. Everybody's needs and usages are different. When it comes down to pricing, one way I look at it is how much is it costing me per note. So I create 14.41 notes per day in Evernote (2018 year averages so far). It was 12.36 last year. I pay $69.99 per year so that is actually $0.19 per day. Which means I pay $0.013 to store a note which includes very important financial information to historical cost data for construction projects to travel plans to lessons learned from anything. That is a little over A PENNY per note basically. So when I look at the value I get out it, it is so worth it. I save my personal time which costs a lot more than that per minute if I was to look for information etc. So my justification for premium is definitely worth what I am getting out of. Are there issues and frustrations with the app and service? Of course, there are but again what I am getting out of the subscription outweighs those issues. If it comes to a point, it is not then time to look for something else. Nonetheless, the point I was making was that there are always different ways of looking at cost vs. value, it comes down to how you justify it or not. The point was definitely not to say you are wrong or anything.

Completed. The who question "What do you take notes on" (or whatever the phrasing was) was a little not clear to me. Like on type of app or the things you take notes about....I assume the "about" is the one you were going after.

I never had that problem as I generally use the iOS app to retrieve info quickly and not edit much. I keep the editing and adding to the Windows app most of the time. So I just checked to see if there was a way. It looks like iOS opens all notes the very top view and I was not able to locate a setting for it. Moved your topic to the feature request for iOS so it can be voted by others.

Voted. Especially after seeing Notion app can do these simple calculations in their tables it made me think that I can have my statements or expenses in a table like a table of content and it can add them up for and I can have links to other notes. Now I keep tables for things in Evernote but then I also have an Excel file saved in that note so I can do the summation etc. Would be nice to have one table period.

Honestly, I do not remember any single time that I used the Context feature and said wow this was great. And evidently, I have it turned on currently. (Just checked and realized). From what I can remember, it was never finding anything that was really related or that was not so obviously related. Now, I am going to turn it back on to see if there is some value.

stack:"1 - Business Notebooks" This is one of my stacks and I need to use the "" in the windows app since it is not just one word. So if you are searching in your stack, use: stack:"Topics for Botany Book" in the search box, then type in the keywords or other criteria you are searching.

I used OneNote before using Evernote heavily. It is a good app for sure especially when it comes to formatting and inserting anything you want anywhere within the note. But OneNote still gives you a certain structure you have to follow with notebooks, sections and pages. And the size of the page is similar to how we always have interacted with word processing software. Paper size format. Evernote does a better job there for me. Yes you can create the similar structure with notebooks but you don't have to. You can have a minimum number of notebooks and handle everything with tags. I think tagging is better in Evernote although it is kind of nice to be able to select and tag a portion of the note but that was getting to cumbersome for me. Of course one advantage of OneNote that it will talk better with the Office 365 products. Like suggested above, when it comes to retrieval and searching Evernote does a great job and is superior. Having used both, I am happy with my selection of app for sure.
