Evernote is now taking up 4.5 GB of my small C drive and I need to move it to make my PC work. Since Evernote takes a long time to start up, needing a reinstall every week, and keeps trying to be friendly with me in unwelcome ways, I've reached the stage where I think I'm better off without it.

"Since the business card feature is so basic, I use another app for this task - so for me the discussion is sort of academic anyhow."

Then why are you hanging out on this thread wasting time? This is for people who use Evernote and want the 'so basic' function to work. In case you hadn't noticed, everyone, myself included says it doesn't work. Which is pretty poor for something that everyone is PAYING FOR.

There's no need for a special format. Since Evernote OCR is decades behind others like Google and everything has to be entered manually anyway, just make it an unformatted field, then everyone will be equally unhappy, but can still use the damn software for what it's intended.

I've just updated to the latest version of Evernote, and now I can't enter Japanese format mobile numbers which are ###-####-####. Totally irrelevant brackets are added, making the tool useless.

Fix it, NOW!

Thanks gazumped.

Since my changes weren't on either my Windows PC or iPhone, I restarted my laptop hoping to find the changes where I'd made them, and they weren't there either! I was so glad that I'd copied and pasted them to Word and saved it, based on my reading of other users' complaints about this matter.

I'd love to have the time to open a support ticket, but I'd hope that Evernote employees might be monitoring this forum too. 

The installed version.

Note that the desktop Evernote applications (Windows and Mac) do save your notes to your hard drive.

Thanks for the response.

That wasn't my experience yesterday when using laptop Windows EN on the train with good WiFi. I tried syncing several times before shutting down, but today when I opened my laptop, my most recent changes were missing. 

I'm having the same problem when working on my laptop. I would have lost all the data from a critically important job if I hadn't had the foresight to save it as a separate Word file first, independently of EN.

Who would 'want to troubleshoot the problem'? As a user, we don't want the problem in the first place! EN should at least save the data on the hard drive for a while.

Thanks for making this.

My contacts include Japanese, and unfortunately the Japanese parts are garbled. Would it be possible to fix it so that Japanese is recognized properly?
