  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Just cancelled myself. Sorry Evernote. I need a few less features for a better price.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. My primary concern is that it's an unneeded cost. We're paying more for something I suspect won't make a meaningful impact.
  11. 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.
  12. Yeah, I also don't see the point of this price increase. Evernote basically _just_ creates a better, streamlined, user experience than Google Docs. There's also no need for the buzzword "AI" as a part of their new features.
  13. By several I am referring to probably 3 notes. I took photos of business cards. I don't see it showing up. I wrote the contact info of this one guy. I don't see it. You have to understand this never happened to me when I was using version 8 on Android for several years. I only recently updated to version 10 and I have all these issues. No exaggeration at all.
  14. I spent several minutes looking for support and this is all I could find. Where do I send a support ticket?
  15. I am missing several notes from a networking event. This was such a critical event that I just have to stop using Evernote now. After more than 10 years. This is crazy.
  16. Something similar has happened to me. In fact my performance on my new android phone has been so awful it's hard for me to pinpoint single problems.
  17. You may be surprised to know this but the revenue they get from premium users is likely used to develop their "free" software.
  18. I just attended a critical networking event. Now I can't find notes in which people wrote down their contact information. This is mission critical and I will definitely unsubscribe if this isn't resolved within weeks. I also can't copy and paste text. When I copy text it cuts it out. Then when I try to paste it, it's not saved into the memory at all and as a result doesn't paste. In other words... it deletes! I've lost text as a result.
  19. The integration is good but it's a less developed task tool for obvious reasons. It's very new. There are better tools for the price point out there.
  20. Great comparison. Thanks. I would add though that Evernote's task feature is probably _blegh_. I can't take it seriously so I don't consider that a selling point. If you're looking for tasks, I recommend Todoist in that it has baseline/minimum task features most of us would need. Maybe Evernote will get to that point eventually.
  21. Are those the primary differences? Or do you know of other major differences between the two softwares? Based on what it looks like, they seem like nearly identical paradigms. Is that the case? Just curious.
  22. Well, what I'm saying doesn't contradict what you're describing. The designers of any software have to manage what counts as an important notification and what is a less important notification. For example, major updates may require a pop-up. Minor updates could be a more discreet message.
  23. I'm willing to categorize this as an edge-case, feature idea BUT I think it would be interesting. Google Spreadsheets can function as a database. Currently I have one setup with details about networking and people I've met. I want to propose features from a Evernote+Google Sheets integration: Evernote pulls data from Google Sheets to display in a table within Evernote. Evernote can generate notes from rows or columns from a Google Sheet Content in Evernote can be generated from specific cells in Google Sheets One reason I propose this is because Google Sheets provides computational and mathematical features not available in Evernote. In fact it may be better that Evernote avoid those features all together. It's probably better to simply pull the data from elsewhere. We could have spreadsheets that calculate costs and values. As the spreadsheet changes, it could update within notes. I've attached a screenshot that is not entirely related but it shows a very creative use of pulling spreadsheet data. This is actually a design program, Figma, pulling spreadsheet data. I just want to show the creative options that are possible.
  24. I understand what you're saying. Some companies have different update strategies. For example Microsoft has been very aggressive for years now which is partly due to their messy Windows XP/Internet Explorer days. I would suggest that Evernote should consider some less pushy updates. Some software companies offer small update reminders. I've attached a screenshot of Ableton Live displaying a very discreet update reminder. In my opinion, Evernote does not need pop-ups every few weeks.
  25. I'm confused by the UX intent behind the tasks being inside of sliding sidebar. It automatically squeezes our written content within the narrow sidebar. It also shows us a recently opened note on the right hand side. This adds to visual clutter especially since it may not be related. Currently I use Todoist for tasks. It provides a more focused experience. I've attached a comparison. I'm not sure how it is for others but when I'm making tasks I'm not necessarily concerned with my notes. So I don't want to see them while creating tasks.
