Explain to me how we are in 2023 and I copy half a note into another note, then all the images in the second note I copied into are wrecked and I can't see them?  Now I have to save them to desktop, reimport them, etc., and I also can't just simply Undo the Cut from my original note.  Evernote, ONCE AGAIN, for the love of God, get your sh** together!!

Since you're a big fan of information perhaps you'd like to share with the rest of the class your evidence that EN is indeed "clawing back to offer working v10 clients." Because a lot of people keep using words like "slow", "buggy", and the like. When someone complains they find 10.6.9 unusable on a Mac that is in fact useful information. It might not be at the level of detail to help developers fix problems or to warn users which particular features to avoid, but it's not the ****ing job of paying customers to help a company debug software that should never have been released in such a state.

Exactly.  We're not beta-testers.  Obviously Pink is at the very least biased, and probably "involved" with the company in some way.  Marketing/brand promotion or otherwise why have so many posts on this forum defending Evernote's mishaps and incompetence?

I wonder if you are that unhappy what keeps you staying on ?

Probably you should define your use cases, and which features you really need. If you can only find them in EN, maybe take a harder look. If you get them somewhere else, give it a try. To me it makes no sense to say „I am locked in, they have such outstanding features“ and one sentence later blame the coders for all sadness of using the software.

By the way, some of your problems I can’t reproduce (like text glitching away on iPad, or cmd-v not working on the Mac). Text selection is always more sensitive when done by touch control, in any program, and cmd-v is pasting, if there is anything to paste on the clipboard. If it doesn’t paste, there is probably nothing clipped to paste.

Take responsibility, these are your decisions, not anything imposted by others. You are the only person who knows what’s good for you. Whether you stay or you move on - do it with confidence and a smile on your face !

I am a paying customer and have been for many years.  The reason I stay is because there is nothing better out there, without some major limitations, sadly.  I'm not sure why. 

It doesn't take away from the fact that Evernote does kinda suck. It only has to do a few things, it's not some complex graphic intensive software.  It just has to handle basic things like Copy/Paste, and a few shortcuts, and it can't even handle that.  

Just look at all the people having issues with the latest "update": 

Certain Shortcuts Not Working - Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above) - Evernote User Forum

I also discovered Ctrl + B doesn't work on my Windows laptop.  I could give them some slack if these issues only happened on one platform, but they seem to happen across platforms.  So they really do need better coders, and I can say that with 100% confidence because I'm paying for a simple service and I need simple & accurate results.  I'm not paying for a program that lists X amount of features to realize a portion of them don't work correctly.  If I lease a car, I'm not paying for the radio to be broken and the left passenger window to not work.  Yes, the overall "machine" works, but it's flawed.  

Shortcuts not working and glitches are to be expected in versions 0.x - 1.x,  not 10.x...  This is pathetic. 

Nothing works the way it’s supposed to.  I’ve used Evernote for years and it never really got better.

examples:

1. On my iPad, Evernote randomly loses my place in the note and takes me back to the beginning.  
 

2. On my iPad, sometimes when I select text I want to format with a different color, when I select the color I want, the screen glitches and it takes me to another section, and the wrong text is selected and formatted.  I have to undo this change and go back to where I was before.

3. On my Mac,  Command + V doesn’t work for paste.  No shortcuts work.  I have to use the mouse. 
 

4. many more I can’t think of.  For a while I would get errors trying to paste images. 
 

I feel like these should not be issues.  It doesn’t help that they have basically no customer service, just email, which is a waste of time.  The moment something more reliable with similar features appears, I’m switching.  These guys need better coders. 

This happens across 3 computers, both with Mac and Windows. Ever 30 seconds or so, as I'm working on a note, I get this error.  I have to reload the note and scroll all the way down to the bottom.  I almost always have parts of the note missing that I have to redo.  This has been happening for a long time, possibly for years.   What is causing this issue and how come Evernote won't fix it???

I constantly get this error message on Windows 10, using the application.  I've had this problem for years, and across the Mac and Windows PC platforms.  I'm not sure how the software can be so poorly written.  I get this message ever minute while I'm working.  I have to reload the note, scroll all the way to the bottom and re-do what was lost.  It's time consuming and frustrating.   

I will leave Evernote if this doesn't get solved.  Step your game up Evernote, stop being so lazy.
