Well, @PinkElephant, you're quite notorious over on the EN Reddit threads. I'm not the first you've sent away. I'm thinking maybe you're really a subversive trying to bring down EN? Either way, good riddance.

Well @PinkElephant, your responses and general attitude provided the final push for me, and I'm jumping to Obsidian, which is awesome! Thanks! and Goodbye Evernote!

Well, @PinkElephant, once you start discounting other's use cases and legit concerns about performance, your posts become unhelpful, and show that either you're an employee (in which case disrespecting paying customers), or a fanboy, defending against all comers. Either way I guess this thread is over.

Nope, tried tasks. Didn't work for me. Too complex, reminded me of Asana, which is also overly complicated for what I need. Sorry. It's simple @PinkElephant, make tags sortable and get performance usable and it's back in the game. Otherwise no dice.

I use tags heavily, and have a to-do priority system based on them. For example, active to-dos are tagged: 1- Now, 2-Next, 3-In Progress, 4-Later, 5-Waiting on others I have shortcut saved searches that bring up each list based on those tags. I also have a rule in the saved search for 1-Now that includes any notes that don't have any tags, so I can quickly dump new stuff in there and it shows up on that list to be categorized further. This rule has always worked in Windows Legacy, but there was a long standing bug in the new Android version (non-legacy) where this search didn't work. That has been fixed as of my latest testing I started last week. For more than a year I didn't update my Android app because it would break that search. Within each main 1-5 grouping, I have secondary tags like @Email, @Call, @Errand, etc. That way if I have time for phone calls, I can quickly sort the group and see all the things I need to follow-up with a phone call. Same with @Errands. If I am leaving the building, I can quickly see what I can do when I'm out. Without the tag sorting, I can't quickly sort by those "method" @-tags. I could create additional shortcuts for each combination of Priority and Method tag, but my shortcut list is already long, and I already have to scroll on my Android widget to find them.

That's great if the app is usable, which for me right now it is not. Maybe that will change. If it doesn't, my subscription will end in favor of something else.

Yup. Probably Electron or similar platform and its usual sluggishness

@Boot17 I have a Lenovo P51 with 64GB of RAM and 2 SSD drives. The thing can run Photoshop, Lightroom, and a Linux VM without breaking a sweat. I don't think my machine is the issue. My plan B at this point, unless V10 improves, is a different notes platform, unfortunately. I look about every 6 months, and there are several with would be a pain to move to, but not as painful as v10 is right now.

I understand v10 is the supposed future, but it is slow to the point of unusable for me, and the lack of sort by tag is a showstopper for me. I open Legacy after using v10, and it screams in comparison. I'll keep using the legacy version as long as it exists I guess. Thanks for the responses.

Thanks for your help. Neither of these worked. I also don't see where you can edit a saved search to see what might be giving the app fits. You can only edit the title. This new version is really lacking IMO. I hope the legacy one stays around

Thanks I'll give that a try. But first, how do I back it up? Just copy the database folder? Edit: I don't see where the repair option even is.

Interesting. Well the searches work fine on the legacy app and the Android current version. The new Windows version has different rules? I guess I wouldn't be surprised as the Android version had similar issues until recently. I avoided upgrading until they were fixed.

Sticking with the Legacy app unless folks have answers to these things: 1) Several saved searched/shortcuts are missing notes that exist in the Legacy app 2) Warnings at the top of the list after clicking a shortcut say "Invalid Notebook" and "Invalid Tag" (attached) 3) Can't seem to sort by tag I got this far and bailed. I don't have time to sort through a bunch of bugs if the Legacy app works just fine. I'm just worried Evernote will ditch that at some point. Does the new version work well for most people?

@agsteele Regardless of whether a ticket is warranted, it is good to see that others here are having the same issue. That is still helpful.

Already did, and I've run out of patience frankly. EN tech support has always been pretty useless when I've tried interacting. I'm done for now.
