I use Evernote primarily on my desktop, MacMini (Late 2014), Catalina 10.15.7. Unfortunately, I downloaded 10.3.7 last week and chose the option of deleting the previous version during the install of 10.3.7 - lesson learned, I should have known better. Maybe I could use TimeMachine to recover as one of the other contributors suggested. Anyway, same experience as Bitsofeight:
I followed one of the forum suggestions and installed the "legacy version" and am running it until I get response from EN tech support noting that the problem is fixed. I had no idea of the other related problems until I read over this thread. I dumped 10.3.7 as soon as I noticed the sluggish feedback on keyboard entry into my notes. I noticed I was putting 4 keystrokes in before they showed up on my screen in EN. Then, I noticed that in 10.3.7 there is a small text notification in the lower right corner of the note that switches between "saving note" and " saved". That fluctuation seems to sync perfectly with the jerky behavior of text entry. Almost as though input is suspended while the note is being updated. I should add that because of my location, my internet speed is fairly slow - 3 MB/s which slows down with other network demands and time of day. However, the speed limitations were not any problem with the previous EN versions. I'm not a techie, just a user who is now forced to look for EN alternatives over which I have more control. I'd put DevonThink in place as a safeguard a while back when EN was in such trouble with people leaving and poor support. While not as advanced in some ways, I know where my data is and that data is not in a proprietary format. I'm now considering DThink for my primary info store. I'm also revisiting AppleNotes to see if I can adapt to the recent release.
Hi,
I have the same problem on Windows 10 with a 100/50Mbps internet connection. The first release I installed was not usable. The actual, 10.3.7, go faster, but not enough.
For me, it's not possible that each change we do (type one or two words, change notebook selection, move notes to other notebooks,...) need seconds to wait for server connection and data transfer. The worst is that in those 1-2-3 seconds we need to wait, evernote is stucked. For a productivity tool, at the moment is sadly not productive at all.
