This new update is, in my humble opinion, an unmitigated disaster. I have never had as many duplicated notes and note conflicts as I have had in the past few days. You can say that EN is automatically syncing but that is simply not the case. I've now made it SOP to close and reopen the app from time to time and I still get conflicts and duplicates, and that is without crossing over between macOS and iOS devices.
Previously I just made sure to manually sync EN after adding a lot of data and also to do that just before closing the app. Now that corporate has removed the sync button (Why? Do share your logic.) there appears no way to force a sync.
I am looking for alternatives. A file folder filled with Pages or Word documents would be less stressful at this point. I don't subscribe to software so that the developers can make changes to a product that already worked, just so I can spend several hours searching for solutions to problems their "improvements" have created.
Yes, I realize that people are resistant to change. This is not the case here, the product is broken. I am actively considering cancelling my subscription.
