Once again, Evernote has presented us with a gigantic bug, this time in the tasks that have stopped working on the iPhone.
The incompetence and irresponsibility of the entire Evernote team is pushing us more and more towards efficient modern apps, which Evernote will NEVER be.

Sounds to me like you should go somewhere else!

I understand completely.

Think of it this way... you have a job you've worked at for a number of years. Over that time you've put forth considerable effort to get where you are today only to decide that new policies of your employer no longer mesh with what you envisioned when you signed on. You make it clear publicly precisely why you're leaving. First to let others know what they might be facing and second-- and less likely-- in the hopes that the employer will recognize what might well be numerous similar complains and institute some changes.

Not unlike why people leave negative reviews for products purchased online-- to let others know and take that info into account and if the seller is responsive, perhaps help them address issues or respond with their side of the story.

i understand what you're saying, but personally wouldn't make a point of publicly announcing why I was leaving a job. I've worked for the same company for 49 years but if they changed policies in a different direction, I wouldn't publicly condemn them but would go somewhere that had similar philosophies to me.

As for reviews, I do give reviews for products to warn people off from bad products and to recommend good ones. I wouldn't however do that in this forum. It is primarily a discussion forum for Evernote users and not very likely a place where potential users would be looking for reviews.

Never understand why people have to tell us they have quit using a program. if you don't want to use it, don't use it, pretty simple. Bon Voyage!

JoshYoung, they moved to Italy not France, so probably not the reason for the change 😀

I guess if we go with your logic on this that the passcode is a useless feature and Evernote shouldn't be concerned about it.

If you have a bad device protection, nothing will keep your data save when you loose your device. The devices content can be erased on too many bad attempts, effectively locking a thief out. Apps (AFAIK) don't have this sort of brute forcing protection.

But anyhow: If a developer detects that an app will either not work at all when used together with a feature (here: Passcode), or can be made working temporarily without the feature, what is the best decision viewed from the users perspective ? Simple: Remove the conflicting feature.

• If you as a user accept that the app is working, but without passcode, you have a working app. Let's call this group A.
• If you as a user don't accept the app is working without passcode, you can easily solve the problem: Log out when you want to disable access. Let's call this group B.

What is the outcome:

• If you take the decision to remove the feature until solved, A can use the app, and B can use the app as well, with some additional effort.
• If you take the decision NOT to remove the feature, A and B can't use the app at all.

If I am not mistaken (I use iOS), the information was in the release notes.

Actually found this video, it was what I had seen.

macfixer, that was it! Thanks so much.

I have import folders; this is different. This is used in a PDF document received in email. I've attached progressive screenshots. If I select "Taxes" for example it goes directly into my  "Taxes" notebook.

I recently read of a way and implemented how to download PDF files to my Google Drive in a folder and it automatically imported into an Evernote notebook. In my case I created a folder in my Google Drive called "Taxes", and when I download a file into this folder, it automatically imports into my Evernote "Taxes" notebook. It works great and I would like to add more Google Drive folders that will import but now can't find the directions to set it up.

I have a relatively cheap Android phone and it works fine for me.

I don't care about the manual sync button if the program is auto-syncing as it should. And I doubt having a manual sync would change that if there is a problem with syncing.

Could you not just remove all of the widgets except Notes? That would give you just your notes list.

Never had this happen. Curios to know what operating system you are using.

Assigning a due date will sort if that is any help.

If all same day, you could assign a time to force sort.

Update, just tried an experiment and using a,b,c did work, sort by title.

That is quite bizarre. I save things to my Android all the time and have never seen anything like that. Typically it populates with the last tag I used and I just have to click it off or change it before I save. My only issue right now is scanning Business Cards.

Must be something wrong with me! I'm running the latest version on my Android phone and the app is working perfectly. Only issue I have had is a delay in my Google Calendar events syncing to my Evernote Calendar on my phone. And it is an insignificant delay. Totally love the work that has been done on both Android and Desktop.

according to the overview, day is the only view option. The month shows if you click on the word "Calendar"

Thanks for your request @s2sailor.  Reminders are a hot topic across a number of different forum threads and social media conversations related to our efforts to converge the UX.  Thread tone ranges from the productive ("what are you going to do with reminders?") to the understandably impatient ("why haven't you implemented reminders yet?") all the way to imminent doom ("oh no! they're going to take reminders away!").  In response to your constructive question - thank you! - let me provide the following update:

1. Reminders are used by a relatively small cross-section of our user population (about 1%, believe it or not).  That's why it's not the first thing we've focussed on.

2. We believe reminders are important.  Partially because some of those 1% are our most engaged users, but also because reminders is functionality that helps you do more than simply remember things, by asking Evernote to surface something back to you at a relevant time, they help you accomplishing something.  And we think that is important.  A better design for reminders might get more than 1% of users taking advantage of it.

3. Finally, as they are implemented today, reminders are one of the most divergently designed functional elements of Evernote across all the devices we support - both from a UX and a functionality standpoint.  Reminders are implemented, displayed, and controlled very differently across Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and the Web.

Part of our journey this year has been about trying to converge the UX across all our devices, so that Evernote users can expect to access a common set of functionality in a predictable and coherent way across all the devices on which they use us.  Obviously, we are applying this as a design principle, not as a design constraint - mobile phones have built-in cameras, and so we need to expose functionality on mobile devices for which there is a less-than-obvious corollary on a desktop system.  The same applies to OS-specific capabilities (eg. Siri, Android widgets, etc.).  But as much as possible, we'd like to make common features - like reminders - work the same way with the same UX and the same functionality across all devices.

The reason we haven't shown anything about reminders yet is because we haven't yet decided how exactly to do that, both for the functionality that already exists and in terms of future-proofing against where we'd like to take reminders in the long run.  When we have a design for reminders that we think satisfies all the criteria we have for it, we'll be more than happy to put it in front of you.  Given the timelines we are on, it's hard to predict at this point whether that will be via a video or through an actual beta release.

And a quick word of reassurance to anyone focussed on the imminent doom scenario:  No, we're not taking reminders away.  We're just trying to get them right.

Thank you so much for the info on reminders. I think if people saw the value in these they'd use them more often. I regularly forward emails into Evernote with reminders set in the subject line, such an amazing tool. 

Is there a way to see my Reminders at the top of my "All Notes" list as it shows on the desktop version?
