I have the same problem. I have reinstalled Evernote 8.13.3 several times this year (twice my fault for clicking update, twice google's fault for changing auto update preferences without asking) using the same apk residing locally on my Android. However this time I get the Please Wait and nothing ever happens. So basically I can no longer use Evernote because the 10x version is horrible, especially for offline use (takes a day to download files that only takes 5 minutes for version 8x).

FWIW: At least 2 of the times (including this week) were because when the Google Play app itself was updated, it reset my preferences that were to NOT auto-install updates AND the preference to exclude Evernote app from any updates. It reset to auto-update all apps without asking. So Google is F-ing us over here by changing the Play App settings and then Evernote updating when we don't want it to.

Also, if you let it sit long enough you will eventually get a "registration error - you are not connected to the Internet" which is indicative this problem is being caused on the Evernote server side (since the apk/etc hasn't changed). 

Still using an older legacy version on mac and wouldn't go near the new *****. Unfortunately on mobile the new horrible (beta quality at best) app was forced upon us. After the new android app refused to fully download several notebooks (after a day of "downloading" - even after several steps to try and force it download notebooks one by one [and no they aren't even big]), and the ones it did it simply deleted all the data after opening the app without Internet access (and prompted to login - even tho offline!). Since EN pushed the new android app, it has "reset" itself by deleting the local data+cache several times. I've been an EN user for 12 years and a paid user for much of that time. The main reason I pay now is for offline access on mobile. Now that the new mobile apps are online-first and offline-maybe/can't-rely-on, then what's the point? 

Also, it's funny that support's response to these problems is that, oh sorry it's new software and there are problems. Sorry no, I've been using this software fine for over a decade (well, always keeping to older stable versions anyway) and now you push out some ***** that doesn't work and expect us to keep paying for paid features that don't work? Software companies should be able to be sued when they break paid features of their software.

Anyway, not renewing and its hard since I've used it for so long but its become unusable on mobile. 

Is there any way or any version of the apk (or any way to tweak it) to prevent evernote from updating the apk installed version (without turning off updates for ALL android apps)? I installed the 8.13.3, re-downloaded all the offline notebooks I wanted. Then a few days later when I was offline I went to use the app and all the content was gone, it wouldn't let me open the app since it required a login and I realized it had auto-updated it to horrible 10.6 version. I can't believe... well I can since its evernote... that they'd deploy an app that removes a key paid feature (the ability to download notebooks and use the app offline - 10.6 broke both these effectively). The only reason I paid for evernote was for offline use and they broke it and now I can't even use the version that still works.
