  1. When starting Evernote on my iPhone I always have to hit the 3 lines in the lower left to get to My Widgets. Is there a way to set this as the default view when opening the app?
  2. App and clipper updates only worked for a while. Back to the same problem - only a few notebooks are showing.
  3. I am now seeing all of my notebooks. However this new "login successful" screen, which I have never seen before, is a problem. I may have up to 80 tabs open that I am working through. I do a save 1/2 way at tab 40, get the login screen (even though I just used it a few tabs before). It refreshes the page, I am thrown out back to tab 80. It is a #$%$#% going back through all of the tabs trying to figure out where I was. The other issue is that clipper keeps changing the default notebook. It keeps changing it to "smart filing" from my "last used notebook" setting.
  4. Evernote 10.74.1 Safari 17.3.1 on Mac 14.3.1 Intermittently when trying to do a web clipping only a few of my notebooks show when I try to select a notebook in the web clipper. The problem is intermittent and inconsistent. All notebooks appear when I try to clip this page. If I change to another open Safari window only a few of my notebooks appear. I have disabled and re-enabled web clipper but doesn't seem to make a difference. I have also noticed a new "login successful" message from Evernote when staring a clipping which I haven't seen before.
  5. Buying a company with the only intention of increasing your revenue at the expense of customers may be typical but it alienates customers as shown in this thread. It can can lower revenues if customers move to other products. Lowering the price can be a way of increasing the user base. Look at all of the offers you see for temporary discounts which go to full price at the next renewal. Think Evernote has done this is the past. WSJ wanted ~$50 a month to renew my subscription. I let it expire at which point the offered to renew at ~$7 for 12 months. At 12 months when they want to up the price again I again let it expire to get the reduced price. Just isn't worth full price since I only use it a few times a month. Can't remember an instance (other than cases like above) where a product raises its regular price 85%. Very bad public relations.
  6. If they are listening to their customers then it shouldn't be pointless. Some product price increases in the past have been rolled back due to customer complaints by companies that listen to their customers. Unfortunately can't find examples at the moment. I suppose we are lucky that in the takeover the product will still be continued. There are many cases where a product was eventually dropped after a takeover. A recent case I remember is Drobo. MacGourmet had wonderful support when it was bought. Now it is a dead product with no development or development support. Hope the new owner shows that they are listening and makes changes. That would show they care about their customers and are willing to work with them which would bode well for the future.
  7. Currently subscribed through the Mac Apple Store at $69.99.
  8. These price increases are the most tone deaf ones that I can remember and I have 100's of software purchases/subscriptions. I can see an increase as everything is going up, but an increase in personal from $69 to $129 is close to a 100% increase. I can appreciate the new features that will be coming. However AI is coming to the Microsoft Office Suite as well and that only costs ~$69. That is a suite with multiple programs with many more capabilities (although in different areas) than Evernote. Looks to me as if personal is now being repositioned to business pricing as that is the single seat price range I pay for business products. Bending Spoon seems to be soaking Evernote customers for every dollar they can, maybe to finance the purchase. I could stomach a 20-30% increase, but almost 100%? That is so out of touch with what is happening with our economy, that is in the U.S. The justification that the increase will provide for all those new features for better customer satisfaction just doesn't fly. They aren't worth the extra cost.
  9. Not sure what Alt key would be since a Mac doesn't have one (control/option/command). No combination seemed to work.
  10. So I wasn't paying attention and I have 16 notes that did not sync to the web or my Mac from my iPad. Given the instructions to save the notes and delete the app I tried to email the notes to myself to save them. The emails were never received. Just a major pain. We really need a "force sync" when something goes wrong to fix sync problems.
  11. I am running MacOS 11.2.1 with Evernote Legacy 7.14.1. When I invoke Web Clipper list of notebooks stacks are listed first, followed by single notebooks. As the stacks are also opened, that means I am having to do a lot of scrolling to get to the notebooks which I generally use. Is there a way to pin the notebooks which I use to the top of the web clipper?
  12. Thanks. Sorry about the venting. Evernote support has been great. So I'll just wait with my fingers crossed that the problems will be fixed.
  13. I'm not sure how to proceed with version 10. On one hand I should use it to find issues that are important to me and report on the problems that I have. On the other hand it is so much more difficult to use than the legacy version. I get extremely frustrated using it. Some of these may be just user errors on my part, but I just want to use the application as I did without having to browse forums to figure out how to do things. 1. After highlighting a notebook, the frame which gives the note name, title, etc. is much harder to read than the previous versions. The font is definitely lighter, but also may be smaller. 2. On the legacy version you have a line of text, a blank line, then the next line. 10 seems to have 2 blank lines . The listing has so much empty space which again makes it harder to read. 3. In search results clicking on column sorts the field. Doesn't seem to work intermittantly in 10. 4. The feature I use most, link to external source, was removed from the note header. Now I have to hit a key combination to get to a page which has the link. 5. I guess I don't know how to search. I highlight a notebook, do a search, and get results from all notebooks, not the one selected. It wouldn't be so bad if you could sort the results by notebook, but due to (3) can't do that. 6. The toolkit line needs to be configurable. The only things I use are text formatting and insert a file. All of the other things like x2 are just noise that makes it harder to use. Same thing for the insert menu. Divider? Checkbox? These are very specific things. Great to support them, but now attachment is that much harder to find. I know a lot of work is going into features that improve the editing experience. I just wish that this wasn't at the expense of basic operations which are so much harder. Creating some screen shots to show the text problems I found another issue. I can't shrink V10 search results frame to the same size: For some reason these screen shots are not what I am seeing on my screen. The text for both is much darker and larger for some reason. Although this isn't the right forum, the IOS app now in some cases is also unusable. If I have a note that is larger than the page I can't scroll down. Well, I can scroll, but as soon as I take my finger off the screen it scrolls back to the top of the page. I have to scroll and not remove my finger to hold it in position, but this only works for short notes. Again something changed which makes the IOS app very difficult to use.
