  1. Actually I would have liked to see the old version and I was agreeing with Chris Darby's points.
  2. I've been with Evernote since 2014 and initially I loved it, installing it on 3 devices - tablet, laptop and maybe a phone (it's been a long time so memory is sketchy but regardless back then, Evernote didn't have a limit of the number of devices one could have the Evernote app but anyone can correct me). Each time there was an upgrade there would invariably be some kind of technical issue. That should have been my first sign to find another provider where the features would be more stable and reliable. Finally in 2017, I took a hike and I haven't created any new notes but my account still has lingering notes that I have yet to transfer/export. Learned about Nimbus and did register an account but haven't truly relied on its offerings. Instead, it's always been Google who has been steady and true - despite Google's tendency to drop some of their apps, such as Hangout but usually leading to better apps in a more encompassing Voice. Anyhow, I stopped by to check on one note file and that particular file always remind me of the ability to password protect that entire file instead of what some help article states that I can encrypt select content within the note. Welp, I'm not as tech savvy as many of you but I can manage my way around the fundamental features of an app. Every time I right click on a highlighted text, it just pulls up the universal right mouse click menu options with no encryption. To anchor back to your comments, totally can empathize and understand. Don't hitch one's wagon too comfortably to just one platform. Have to be flexible to switch course in midstream. I got myself into a pickle with conflicting notes in Evernote (which working with multiple devices, I can blame only myself for not being more careful in syncing any revision before modifying the same note with another device). Forgot what was the final straw but can't say I want to return except for that one note I still revise every blue moon. Disappointed with the loss of the encryption for an entire note (or I'm in the dark about the new secret method cause what's spelled out in the help article does not work). Then again, Google doesn't explicitly have a password-protection for its files either. But with Google, I do have a suite of various record/document creation and storage apps all tied together. Much as I do hate to admit it (cause I'm not a fan of big tech), Google has served me well. Back to my updating with whatever encryption discussion of late....
  3. Wow, I was wondering why I couldn't edit my encrypted notebook but I could on my tablet (that was long ago though). I thought I had something wrong in my settings or I couldn't figure it out. All along, it was a flaw in the web configuration. And many months and a whole year and half later, there still is no resolution. Unbelievable! Has there been a mass exodus of people from tech? Come to think of it, I'm sort of surprised Evernote hasn't been bought out by a bigger tech company such as Microsoft. Today before reading this thread, I clicked on a popup menu to decrypt (I suppose it was permanent). Now I cannot even encrypt the highlighted text as instructed in the Help answer. So much for that encryption tool. I remember the troubles that cropped up from an updated version where there was a host of problems experienced widespread. And increasingly in a push for members to upgrade to premium subscription, now I'm limited to accessing my account with syncing to only 2 devices. Truth be told, I haven't been using Evernote, as I want to consolidate my notes to Google. Many years ago, there was such a problem with the syncing between devices that too many conflicted note files were created. That caused extra work for me to find the discrepancies in the text. I'm trying to organize my notes and hopefully transfer to an alternative to Evernote. On the upside, Evernote does not delete my account due to a set period of inactivity. Whew!
