i have no option to delete tags on my Pixel7-Pro running Android 14. 

Ugh and argh, I am SO frustrated.  The newer/newest versions of EN for Android is far inferior to the 8.12.5 version, AND I can no longer install the APK for that version.  Throughout the past few years I was always able to uninstall the crappy new version and reinstall from the APK file for the 8.12.5 version that I had saved to my device for easy access.  Reinstalling from that APK always worked fine until a few days ago.  Now I get a message saying "you can't install this app on your device".  Now I'm "forced" to use EN desktop in browser.

In IOS, I can share notes using the Share>Email feature
Are Android user's restricted to urls? Check your share options.

I also share notes in their native html format; I thought that was a standard format.

I don't usually convert to PDF on my mobile device; using my Mac for that.  We do have a couple of methods in IOS 

So EN Android version10.14 (which I actually detest, and I think I'm going to go back to one of the 8.something versions soon) the "share via email" option is available from within a note.

Thanks for nothing. In one swoop you have completely destroyed my workflow and 7 years worth of an information database.

Many moons ago with the idiotic limitation of 250 notebooks I was forced to go the tagging route. That took a whole weekend to re-organise 3000+ notes. BUT once set up it did work well and no longer a limit on a high level entity. 

Today that's all gone - colour coded tag tiles gone. AND when you go to a tag area and create a new note you are bounced to ALL notes - the new note is not kept with the tag set. 

OK so I thought I'd look at Notebooks again and moving notes within tag to a Notebook - oh no the data is lost - brilliant how can that possibly happen!

This is a complete waste of space - and I am now looking at moving out of Evernote to something else - I just hope that the receiving software can read in Evernote data.

you can export EN notes to the "Notion" app, they have a web-client and android/ios apps.  the export process is pretty straightforward too.  currently I'm paying for BOTH EN premium and Notion's basic, non-free tier, which maybe means I'm not using my tools in an "ideal"fashion", but at the moment it seems to be working well enough...

i can no longer edit tags from within a note in the new version of the app...i can record my screen to show this... or....? 

Well... More than 2 years later and we're still having this issue  :(

Unless the design team decides to drop the side list option  😦   
For the latest in UI design, we have v10 implementation in IOS

 btw; Top List is better than Side List

disagree, but interested in why you think/feel that way.

I was just curious if the change in functionality was intentional, or if it was a bug.  It was (ironically) "convenenient" (as far as conveniences related to inconveniences go) to be able to ask EN to try to clip again instead of "forcing" me to go back to the website and do it myself....oh well.  Adaptation....

Hi, sometimes notes fail to be clipped, not a huge deal.  But I recall in the past there was an option on Android (whether or not the clip had failed) to "clip again".  EN would ask "what went wrong?" and would present me with (if I recall correctly) three options: "clipped ads instead of content" (or something like that), and then a second option that I do not recall, and the third option was "something else".  I do not see any options to "clip again" anymore.  Pizel2XL Android9.  Is this intentional?

my temporary (hopefully) "solution" has been (sometimes) to clip just a bookmark instead of the full page, and then clip the full page from desktop later.

Hi.  Top left of your Android screen there should be a green tick (check mark) after you make a change to the content.  Tap the tick and it's a left-arrow,  tap again and you're back to your note index with that change saved.  If you're doing something different,  you are not saving the note after editing it.

Evernote doesn't reinstall or reindex notes.  If you reinstall the app and log in,  it will check in with the server and download a search index from there.  If you don't have a solid network connection that could take some time,  but - unless you opted for lots of notes to be 'offline searchable' - your entire notes database will not be stored permanently on the phone.

You're right, it doesn't take that long, but it takes more time than it "should".  Maybe I'll uninstall and reinstall and time the process so I can have some data to add some weight to my experience.  Of course, "long time" is a matter of opinion/perception...

But the issue about tags not being saved is "legit", regardless of length of time it takes for notes to populate on a fresh install.  I will try to record that as well, for the sake of data-substantiation.

I frequently have issues clipping from Wikipedia (Android, usually Vivaldi browser, but also FF and sometimes Opera [almost never use Chrome anymore ]).  From desktop clipping is fine but Android bizarrely has serious issues for some inexplicable reason.  "Solution" has been to revisit failed clips on desktop later, but it's a painful situation.  Notion is much better about clipping, but EN still my main tool, for various reasons.  Guess I'll have to look into Pocket again though...

OK we know what client - but really?  You make changes and sync,  and the note is just the same as it started out ???

Having the same problem, I think. Maybe.  Or at least a similar problem.  On Android anyway, not web client.  If I make changes to a note's tags, and then click the arrow to go back (since there's no "save" button), all tag changes I made will disappear.  I think I'll have to record my screen and submit it, I guess....I don't know, I'm really tired of uninstalling and reinstalling EN on my phone, it takes a long, looong time to reinstall/reindex all my notes.

this problem seems to have reappeared.  Whenever i create a new note on my phone, whether or not I add tags before clicking the check mark in the top left to mark the editing mode as "finished", all of the content of the note disappears.  I can record this with a screen recording tool if that would help...but I guess I'm just gong to reinstall first and see if that fixes the problem.  i have sooo many notes though (although none of them are "offline" i guess) that it feels unbelievably inconvenient. 

I know this is not exactly the right place for this comment, but it is relevant.  The "Notion" app can embed YouTube videos and has a web-clipper.  I've started using both Notion and Evernote, although I realize that makes things a little less streamlined....

that mean I have no change ("workaround") to work with my notes with (lots) of tables in it on Android?

I would be satisfied if I could at least work with Evernote Web on Android devices in a browser.

As others have mentioned, it is possible to work with EN wen  in an Android browser.  on many Android browsers you can "request desktop site" and use EN that way.  it is a little tedious, of course.

Here are two screenshots of EN in Android browsers.  one in Vivaldi (Beta) browser and one in Duckduckgo browser.  I'm sure it's also possible in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.

Another Linux user here. I've let my subscription lapse for the very reason that a native client is not available. Being hobbled by the web version isn't an option for me anymore.

Tusk is a great Evernote client for Linux that has regular, dark, sepia, and black themes.

Some time ago I posted a link to a public note I created that has colored letters and numbers. I welcome anyone to copy into their own accounts.  Not a perfect solution, but maybe better than nothing.

I have been having sync issues on and off for the last two years.  Mostly it's just the message "last sync failed", but the notes do appear to be there (mostly).  It is pretty frustrating to see "failed" constantly though. Clearing app cache and/or reinstalling seems to fix sync issues as well, sometimes.

As I read it, it is Open Source so basically free to use.

They just ask for a small contribution in the range of 5$, which for me is sort of a one-time without being a real purchase, because no contract will go with it. But this leaves the option to contribute more or less, whatever you like.

Concerning the confidentiality, it all boils down to whether you trust the other party or not. Since it is open source, you can at least read the code and find out if it contains any problematic parts. Or you can check in the internet for others that have looked it up already. Open source for this reason is usually more trustworthy than proprietary code nobody can check.

Thanks for your response ✌🏾

Hi, I just subscribed to Infranodus a few minutes ago, based on this thread and the seemingly awesome quality of the product, but I also see (I think?) that the product could be used without a subscription? Is there not a "one-time purchase" option?  As awesome as it is, I don't see the value being worth as much as the subscription would add up to.  No offense of course, obviously different people and organizations have different cost-value ratios. Thanks.

I'm a huge fan of the "tiny scanner" app.  Very well designed and feature-rich (relatively). I don't have the pro version, but I will probably get it, now that I'm thinking about it.

Tusk is a great Evenote client that works great on Linux (even though in the link it says for Windows).  Has dark, black, and sepia color themes, as well as default green.  https://www.thewindowsclub.com/tusk-is-a-free-evernote-client-for-windows

I created a note that has colored text that anyone can copy/paste into their own notes if they would like.  Obviously not as good as an internally-created solution, but some users might find it to be at least sufficient for the time being: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s299/sh/418d19a2-60b9-4aa9-b17d-4a377b7b5b56/11775171408a1e3e293ad61a3e285680

Edit: that link didn't seem to work, so one can find it at: https://echoreflection.postach.io/post/color-note-for-sharing-with-en-community

is there much point in contributing to this thread?  Clearly EN is aware this is a big issue, but I'm not sure any amount of comments on forums will expedite the arrival of error-free software updates.  I've been frustrated for quite some time now, I've even somewhat started to think about exit/exportation strategies, (there's an app called "Turtle" that seems pretty good, and Google Keep has several appealing aspects.  Obviously Evernote is super robust, that's pretty much keeping me from bailing ship.  And apps like Filterize and Nixnote 2 also make staying in the EN ecosystem more bearable.  But the syncing on Android thing is very irksome ?
