Currently all information in the home screen has a fixed height. This makes some of the reading experience awkward and some feature not usable. For example, I attempted to pin a note with tasks. It only displays 2 and a half tasks. In many ways I want to use this home screen as a ways glancing and reading multiple documents. If I use it only for the purpose of clicking on a post in order to view the entire thing, then it may as well be only a list of items instead a a UI card. I also know I can scroll but that can make the reading experience awkward as well, depending on the amount of text. I feel like we need something easier to glance at. The height is too small for the content I want to read

It's overdue, I believe. Hopefully it's not a terribly complicated request. The current code block feature has always felt so incomplete. Hopefully we can move forward with that.

How do I remove the pop-up AI Edit button?
estevancarlos replied to estevancarlos's topic in Evernote General Discussions

When I highlight text, sometimes a pop-up "AI Edit" button appears and it causes interference. Specifically it produces strange results when I'm editing tables. I'm unable to select my highlighted text afterwards. This is on Windows 11 with the desktop application. I'm also not interested in the possibility of accidently clicking the button as it's not a feature I have an interest in using. There could be SO many different contextual menu options that could pop-up and I don't see why it's only "AI Edit" every time we select text.

I find that I can't use the reminder feature well enough due to a lack of VERY obvious notifications. I understand there are notifications but I need something that rings or bright vivid color on top of the app. Perhaps a bright red icon. I have mistakenly overlooked notifications I set for myself and as a result, completely forgot about the specific item. In my opinion, the desktop app could use a banner at the top that notifies the user or better yet, a bright Icon on the left hand menu. Anyone else feel the same way?

I think we need Macros now. Let me describe some interesting ways it can be used by comparing it to another application, Cubase. Cubase is a music program for multi-track recording. It has a very unique feature that allows you to automate and trigger macros. For example, you can have a track with audio. You could assign a key command that triggers the following logic: - If any track contains "some specific word" - then color the track to "some specific color" - AND mute the track We need something like this in Evernote and frankly it would be a better approach than AI since it allows us to be more specific with our needs. For example, I have many notes I've failed to tag with a specific tag. If I want to tag notes that contain a specific term I have to do the following: search the term, select many notes, apply a tag to them. It can be tedious. Here's what I imagine we could do instead - We have the ability to save searches and use advanced search syntax - We should also be able to assign a task to this such as "Apply tag" and then save the entire thing as a macro - Then we can assign a key command to the macro In Cubase they call this Logic+Macro+Key Command feature, "Logical Editor". I think it's something Evernote should consider.

I misspoke. I don't mean Evernote's subscription model is a problem. I'm referring to their dramatic change in pricing model. With Waves Audio, going from a one-time fee a to subscription was a problem for many. In my opinion, I would expect an 80% increase in price from Evernote to be equally disappointing.
-
Well, in the audio engineering world that I'm a part of, the customer base complained when a company called Waves Audio went to a subscription-only model. Well, there was an intense backlash. Waves Audio retracted - https://www.musicradar.com/news/waves-plugin-subscription-service-uproar Based on what I'm seeing in Evernote land, that doesn't seem to be how people feel about this, which is surprising. However, sometimes companies do respond to user complains.

It's sticker shock. Whether or not they've increased their price over the years, it's unreasonable to do it on one fell swoop. As I mentioned elsewhere, I can't justify paying this cost when compared to other software subscriptions I have. So now I have the inconvenience of learning a new note taking tool and altering my workflow. I think that's the problem everyone is facing. Increased price OR inconvenience. I've already cancelled. Although I may look into their educator discount.
-
Just cancelled myself. Sorry Evernote. I need a few less features for a better price.
-
I don't think Evernote realizes what this new price point is competing with. There are important software subscriptions I have to consider for my work that are at the same price as Evernote now. Evernote is supposed to help me stay organized but I'm not going to pay this kind of price as though it's critical.

It's novelty and greed. There's nothing inherently wrong with AI but at this stage most people are so unfamiliar with the concept that it's all buzzword and novelty. I say this as a person who is involved with related technologies.
-
Yeah, I'm trying to find alternatives as well. I wonder what market research they've done that convinced them to make these changes? Most of us probably just want efficiency and not necessarily _more_ features.
-
I'm sure everyone at the Evernote offices are eager to continue their research in AI but I doubt many Evernote users were eager for any AI-related features. If all you're using it for is to make grammatical suggestions or improve search, then it's overkill. With that removed, then I believe you can reduce your price increase. If anyone agrees, please voice your concerns.
