F@@@k you in the head, Evernote developers. It pisses me off totally, how slow it works. Madness.

And I've got only short text notes. Nothing but text.

Everything is slow except this pop-ups offering discount ONLY NOW (but keep showing up all the time)

Just f""k you in the head

Have you ever considered using the Legacy version? I'm using it and it works fine. Save yourself some grief....and don't be so rude and disrespectful.

Anyone out there have any experience with TheBrain, possibly as an alternative, or supplement to EN?

One solution I use is to stay with the Legacy version until they fix v10.xxx. 10 has been horrible about a lot of things, but it does seem to be slowly improving, which is a glimmer of hope. I have them both running at the same time to compare operations.

Well said, OrbWeaver......

I have had 2 Premium accounts for years. When I first saw the V10 I was overjoyed. For about a day. Then after a few weeks of hoping it was just a bad dream I realized they were serious and this was no practical joke. Both accounts are now cancelled, one expired last month, the other in a few months. Been migrating away and am almost done. Perhaps in 5 years I may look back at EN but it's useless to me now so I have to move on.

Just curious, but why didn't you just stick with Legacy 6.25.xx?

I tried Nimbus when they first started up. Was no competition to EN back then and I felt uneasy sending my money, not to mention my data, off to Russia. They may have a Cleveland office now but they were Russian then. Even after I cancelled my subscription  they went ahead and kept billing me. Had to cancel my card to stop the charges to it.

Ok, good to know. Still evaluating, but I'll definitely factor this in. It seems pretty robust in its parallels to EN, but haven't worked it hard yet. As far as sending my data to Russia.....If they really want it, they can probably just buy it from China....hehehe

I've pretty well resigned myself to EN Legacy. It works, and I'm happy with it. I'm using Nimbus in parallel and it seems like a good backup plan if the brilliant minds that guide EN decide to mothball Legacy. I'm hoping some day they wake up, but at this rate, they're moving towards snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

16 hours after you posted that about 10.5.6 update, neither my 10.0. whatever or my EN Legacy show any updates available and say I'm on the latest version. Another win for the EN team?

Well, Ian Small's article is somewhat comforting. At least he admits that there were mistakes in the expectation level, a huge understatement. I never saw an expectation level, just a horrible software release that, according to a major release meeting traditional standards with expected issues, we got a barely functional, feature stripped disaster. Combined with an almost compete lack of support or even comment, they sent a lot of their long time power users off into space. OK, done for a while. Grabbing big comfortable chair and bag of popcorn to see how this train wreck repairs.

You are stating it is slow, lagging, whatsoever, without details.

OK, so I go ahead: Win10, i7, build 2012 (yes, 8 years), 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Just a good, solid office PC. EN is running fine, no real issues.

Possible improvements from my experience:

• Run from an SSD
• Enough RAM
• If possible, connect via cable, not WiFi

You have GOT to be kidding us......"without details"?? And then... you have the audacity to suggest some rudimentary steps to address a situation that did now exist with the previous version that sounds like something out of Computers 101 from 30 years ago. Do you work for the company? If so, then you should have all of the details you need if you all have done ANY research on this at all. And that could be as simple as running it on a couple of computers and see for yourselves what a piece of poo V10 is instead of trying to be dismissive about the issues. And if you don't work for the company, then don't insult us with asinine  posts like that. SERIOUSLY??

Sorry for the rant, but this lack of response from the company and the dismissive attitude about all of the people who are having issues is just mind-numbing. They take a really good and functional, responsive program, totally hose it, and then sit on their thumbs.

I have never complained about an upgrade in my life.

I run a company, and probably have told everyone I know how great Evernote is.

Today is the first day I'm considering leaving and going somewhere else.  The current version of Evernote is nearly unusable.  I can't right click.  I can't access shortcuts, I can't even rename a notebook.

Does anyone know how to install the old version of Evernote?  Do they still offer it for download?

Given how much of a fiasco this new one is, I imagine they have to allow us to at least have the option not to upgrade?

Per some previous msgs, it's here https://filehippo.com/download_evernote/6.25.1.9091/

Many have gone back to it including myself, and most share the same sentiment.

Dear Evernote Management....

WHERE ARE YOU? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU...We DESERVE to hear from you! You need to fix this gosh awful mess. We are your PAYING customers. Step up to the plate.

I am back on the original version, relatively unscathed. Another aspect of the problem here that would be well advised to note by the EN team, is that they set an expectation level of a new, improved, faster, bla bla bla version that in fact was just the opposite. That's in no way a good thing to do to anyone, much less with the added trauma of "OMG, can I even undo this". All of the adjectives to describe this fiasco have been pretty much used by many users, so I'll restrain myself. Done properly, this could have turned out much, much different with a good experience for everyone. Hopefully, this will be a learning experience and could still end well, but a few fixes to speed and other items is not going to be acceptable to a huge number of paying subscribers. It needs to be a continuation of the legacy features and an upgrade, not lipstick on a pig. OK, done with this. I've wasted more than enough time with this unnecessary disaster

Hi All,

Just wanted to let you know that we are tracking your reported issues.

Additionally, I've created the Mac equivalent of this thread here:

 

You are "tracking" reported issues......From what beta testers are saying, they have been reporting issues all along and nothing has been done. It does no good to "track" issues unless someone takes action and fixes them. This infliction of ver10 reminds me of the Coca-Cola debacle of years back when they released the "new" Coke and ended up eating it instead of customers drinking it. And there seems to be a bit of a cavalier attitude from the EN team, flavored with a bit of arrogance that users would complain. This is going to be a disaster. Just sayin'...
