@jFog It completely (no: COMPLETELY) escapes my imagination how somebody can build his work performance around a tool that is Free, and because of that may change the conditions of use any other day.

Well, hundreds of thousands of businesses are using free version of software to run their business. And there is nothing wrong with that.

I'll give you an example - Docker (i do not know if you know it or not, but it was a big deal in dev wold), a wile back they restricted their free version to limits a company I know was not able to using going forward (several hundreds of developers).

Did the company regret that one day in the past they went with Docker? No. They used it successfully for years and then they just switched to an another solution.

Why they did not feel the pain?

Because Docker communicated the change way ahead and let their users to choose what to do.

In my case - I learned about the change in the middle of a meeting when I tried to create a note to record the meeting minutes.

On top of that Evernote is impudent enough to charge $130 for a note taking app!
In the world where Adobe Photoshop + Lightroom costs $120 and full MS Office (including OneNote!) for family costs $99...
... and where Evernote is incredibly glitchy and slow.

This was what caused my frustration.

This is a disaster,
I am a paying Evernote user (for personal use) and Free user for my work computer.

Evernote just locked me off my work tool by not allowing me to create more than 50 notes (of course I have more).

They did not even send a heads up.

It's become slow and glitchy more and more over the last years, just last few days I've been experiencing severe issues with search.

Surely I won't pay and I will stop paying for my personal license.
Then once I am switched to OneNote - I will convince to switch my wife who is also a paying customer and just few days ago mentioned how frustrated she is with the new cost hike.

I am so frustrated!
That's it for me with Evernote, once a good app.

OK, so I did the reset and it did not help, this lag has been inconsistent, I can type for some time now and then it starts lagging and then back to normal just to start lagging in 30 seconds again. I see the same behavior still.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

@PinkElephant I do not have "Keep data when leaving" in the Preferences menu, is it the same as "Save Data at Log Out"?

Thanks for the advice @PinkElephant, I will try that, but I am a bit skeptical because I've got my MBP M1 just recently and I did a fresh install on it (not TimeMachine) so everything including EN was brand new with fresh local databases.

I do not have a lag neither on Windows nor on Android phone (at least I did not notice on one so far), but both my macs - old MBP from 2015 and new MBP M1 Pro - skip characters or/and show what I type with a delay in notes with 3000 words. Probably even less, I did not try to find the threshold.

The issue has been described here already, the core of my post - Evernote team does not care about the quality of the product anymore.

3000 words is not that big of a note, sorry but this can't be an excuse.

I do not believe it is not possible to solve technically, especially because it was not an issue for me on Windows and is an issue on a Mac.

Evernote used to be an amazingly useful piece of software - simple and useful.

Now it is bloated, full of useless ***** (see "Home"), ruined features, slow piece of garbage, I can't believe I am still paying for it.

This bug is a perfect example that they (Evernote team) no longer care. How bad can be a bug that does not allow to use normally a feature that is in the name of the product - NOTES! It is pretty freaking bad!

I have quite a few large notes that I am editing once in a while for years, it was not a problem on Windows but for some reason ON A MAC that always was a "home" platform for Evernote... I can't do it. It's just not usable.

This is sad, this is how good products die because of incompetent management that probably does not use their own product. I do not think this is an engineering problem, there is just not enough product care to bring it to the good shape.

Sad.

I am having this issue - as I type I see that the text appears with a delay and often some characters are getting lost completely.

I am using the latest macOs and the latest Evernote versions as of today. This is incredibly frustrating and makes the app unusable.

PWA would be great for those who use Evernote on Linux.

I started to use the new web-client actively today and I am sad to report that it loses changes in notes.

There is no way to provide you the concrete steps except:

• Open existing note
• Edit it
• Click another note
• Click back on note you just edited
• => Changes are lost, the edited note is in its original pre-edit state

If it happens to a note I can repeat it over and over again until I refresh the page completely.

Hope you can fix it soon,
Thanks.

@tkarika we'll hopefully open the new client to Opera users in the near future.

Great to hear this.
