Obsidian has Nested Tags! And they are Real Nested Tags. Evernote kinda has a Parent tag but you have to manually move child tags under the parent tag. In Obsidian when you first type the tag - that's the way it is, no followup maintenance is required. I find I'm doing so much less TAG maintenance in Obsidian, than in Evernote. The reason I did not switch to Joplin was because it lacks nested tags.

That's what I've been doing, slowly migrating to Obsidian. I started in January 2022, when it became clear that Version 10 on Android was very low priority, even before BS came along. I could not sync from Android to the desktop and Evernote stopped working on my Android phone for 2 weeks. Version 10 was just too unreliable. I continue to read reports about Android users losing notes and notes not syncing in the reviews, even today!! So I still have Legacy working on Android and my Windows PC, right now. I'm not logging out on either platform. I have Evernote Firewalled, on both platforms, so it can never attempt to connect to the cloud. It's working just fine!! I'm not planning to migrate to Version 10 on my "production" devices and will slowly migrate everything to Obsidian. I HAVE exported everything to .enex files and HTML files - just in case my Legacy apps stop working. My biggest issue is getting tags converted to be compatible with Obsidian tags AND the issue where the EN Parent Tag, NEVER GETS exported to the .enex file!!&^%$#@!! So I've been learning about SQLite Database tools, so I can directly update my tags in my .exb database, BEFORE exporting all my notes.

o-b-s is Obsidian. obsidian.md is the web page help.obsidian.md is a good place to start. That's what I have been using for 2 years now. I LOVE IT!! I have successfully imported my Evernote notes into o-b-s but my evernote tags look like *****, so I'm working on resolving that. I used a lot of tags in Evernote with a special character and haven't found a tool to convert my EN tags to Obsidian tags, yet.

As CalS has recommended MANY TIMES. I AM NOT LOGGING OUT OF LEGACY EVER AGAIN!!! THAT'S HOW YOU LOSE ACCESS TO your legacy notes. I hope to keep access to my legacy notes, even after 3/23/24 and potentially keep access until my PC dies or my Android phone dies (which I think I'm prepared for). I do have backups and have exported to ENEX and HTML files. I haven't found a good solution yet for importing my notes into another Application. I have too many tags and no good solution for converting them yet. Contacted the developer of ExportNote and hoping his app will help me import my tags into Obsidian. I have my firewall configs ready to turn on, the week of 3/18/24, so that legacy doesn't attempt to connect to Evernote in the cloud. Some of us have other things going on in our lives other than focusing on a 30 day notice from Bending Spoons!!^%$#!! BUT GOOD TO KNOW that logging into V10 and changing your password helped!! Bending Spoons actions and support are sure not convincing me to stick around! Whew!!! : (

Yes. It's syncing for me too. I submitted a problem ticket but got the usual NON-RESPONSE saying check your version number and reboot your PC. They never followed up to say they fixed something. But clearly they DID fix something!!

It stopped syncing for me too in the last few hours. I never got the banner!!! (I have been using Obsidian for 2 years now - so I don't run EN that often anymore.) I at least got the email on 2/23/24. NONETHELESS - WHAT IS THIS??? THEY SEND AN EMAIL SAYING WE HAVE 30 DAYS - THEN THEY CHANGE THEIR MIND AND DECIDE TO CUT US OFF THE NEXT DAY???? I did export everything a few months ago. I still have 3,000 notes in Evernote, that I do NOT want to lose. BUT Evernote's klugey Tag Hierarchy IS NOT EXPORTED in a way, I can import it completely to Obsidian!!&^! I found a tool called: ExportNote that would export EVERYTHING including the complete Tag Hierarchy, but did not get a chance to run it AND PLANNED to run it, before March 23rd. I've since heard BendingSpoons shutdown that interface recently, as well!!!??? Bending Spoons communication has been HORRIBLE!! Big Vendors NORMALLY give you one to two years notice concerning a hard shutdown date - at least 6 months notice. Somebody must be hurting - wonder if BS is going bankrupt or something??

I have been able to sync using the legacy version on both Windows 10 & Android 12, ever since January 2022. BUT I am very careful to not logout on Android or my desktop PC. It's actually encouraging to hear that you were able to login again and start syncing!! I had major EN sync & search problems in January 2022. Then I made the mistake of re-installing the legacy EN Android App (listened to one of the Apple Fanboys). That's when I saw the writing on the wall and started looking elsewhere for an alternative to EN. Now, not only do I use the legacy version of EN, but I consider the data in EN to be "legacy data". Once EN cuts us legacy users off from access to the Cloud, I plan to use the legacy version without sync. I always backup my desktop EN database & executables manually. Since Jan 2022, I have been using Obsidian for 99% of my notes. Hoping to get all of my EN data imported into Obsidian soon.

I am running Evernote Legacy 6.25.1.909.1 (309091) under Win 10. I did receive messages for about 3 weeks in August, informing me that I was running an old version of Evernote, but I just ignored the messages and they went away. The legacy version has continued to run just fine. Since the whole database resides on my PC. I'm hoping I can continue to access it, on the PC, even though, I can't access the cloud version. I also like to reference Evernote notes on my Android phone. I just downloaded my primary notebook, so I can access it offline on Android. I moved on to a different PKM app, almost 2 years ago, after I lost access to my Evernote Notes from my phone, for 2 weeks. So my most recent notes are not at risk to be lost by Evernotes buggy software. However, I have not exported my old Evernote notes yet. I hope Evernote allows us to continue to access our notes offline in stand alone mode, even after they cut us legacy users off, from syncing to the cloud.

OBSIDIAN ALL THE WAY FOR ME!! - Tags are absolutely critical for me and Obsidian handles tags REALLY WELL - so much better than Evernote. - Searches - Obsidian is SOOO FLEXIBLE with its search capabilities: Regular Expressions, Saved Searches or Bookmarks can be sorted in alphabetical order - WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN TOO HARD FOR EVERNOTE TO FIGURE OUT??? Or organized in folders and sub-folders in any order you wish. - Templates - REAL TEMPLATES. Programmable templates. Evernote's templates don't include tags or headers. There's no way to programmatically enter today's date in a header in Evernote???? - Foldable sections - VERY CUSTOMIZABLE THEMES - that allow you to change the view, color and organization of your notes on your screen. - CANVAS option that allows you organize multiple notes any way you like on your screen. - It is open source. So there are lots of improvements being made every month or every other month. - There are lots of developers world wide, who write plugins. I have found the plugins to be very reliable. - Even though this is open source software IT IS SOOOO MUCH MORE RELIABLE THAN WHAT WE HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH FROM EVERNOTE DEVELOPERS , THE PAST 3 YEARS! - Finally the data, folders and files are yours. You don't have to wait 2 weeks for Evernote to finally find the last technician who can still figure out how to get you logged in again and give you access to your notes. - I'm not big into nested folders but I know you can have them with Obsidian. Obsidian's structure is totally based on the file system of the hardware you are using. So you can nest folders anyway you want. I have some nested folders. The one negative is that the obsidian.md web page documentation is not great for a beginner. So getting started can be disconcerting, at first. But you quickly find lots of videos and outside contributors who do explain how everything works, very well. Sending an email to Obsidian is NOT a native feature. I do miss that. There are various recommendations on how to add this capability to Obsidian but none of them are straightforward solutions.

Yes. I am still using Version 8. It works great!

Try following this thread. It took 2 weeks for me to get this resolved but I finally got someone in support who could fix the "please wait" problem. I have been successfully using version 8 now for 12 months. So there is hope!! As someone in the above thread states, if your issue finally gets escalated to: Ana P, then you are in good hands and she will resolve the issue.

WOW!! Thank You for pointing out how bad the Playstore reviews are! OF COURSE WHY WOULDN'T THEY BE!!! This app isn't going to survive with reviews like that. The overall rating is down to 3.8. I don't consider trying new apps unless they are over 4.0 and typically need to be 4.3 or 4.4. I CANNOT BELIEVE a fantastic product like Evernote was allowed to be "updated" with no project plan. When I read the CEO's view that you just let the developers go without a plan - I KNEW THAT WAS BAD NEWS. BUT I HOPED someone would come in and rescue them. Since I upgraded to Android 11, I've seen quite a few apps who have gone downhill and have been abandoned, looks like EN is going to be another one. BUT GIVING UP ON THIS APP, is going to hurt ME A LOT MORE!! : ( FYI. I have not upgraded EN on my primary Android phone, a Samsung Note 10+, either. With a Note 10+ you can now specify specific apps, you do NOT want to get updated automatically. Pull up Evernote in Playstore. Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner. The last option on the menu is: "Enable Auto Update". Uncheck the box beside "Enable Auto Update". It does work. I've had that setting in place for Evernote since last summer. All my apps get updated automatically except for the ones where "Enable Auto Update" is UNCHECKED.

Web Clipper used to work as an ADD ON in Firefox on my PC. Or there was a third party addon that worked REALLY WELL. Why did Evernote break this??? VERY FRUSTRATING! One time I was able to clip the article but it was trash, ads were mixed in. Then the next 2 times I tried, clipper would just spin. I'm now using the ADD On, Tranquility, to format articles. Then I cut and paste.
