    Liked the Behind the Scenes thing they just did on Tasks on YouTube. Sounds like this is a high priority for EN and I’m glad to hear it. Would love to not use an outside task manager and for me this is almost there. I will dump Things 3 if a couple more pieces are added. 

     

    Same for me. I was trying to use EN for my whole GTD setup for ages and always gravitated towards separate task managers after some months fiddling with complex tag systems, reminders etc. I always wanted to use one app for everything and now EN is getting close to it. 

    I personally need tags more than anything else that has already been mentioned.

    In addition to that some features that have nothing to do with tasks directly, but things that will return the iOS native experience again (Force Touch to create new note/task, iOS widgets, Apple Watch support, some UX improvements …). 

    As soon as those things are available, I am happy to get rid of everything else and rely on EN for my external brain. 

  2. When I have a checklist of items, I can easily place the curser in an item, tap the + icon and task in order to convert the item to a task. 
    However, it doesn’t seem to work the other way around. After having converted an item to a task, I cannot make it a checklist item (or anything else) again.

  3. After giving up Evernote for a while I am currently giving it another chance. When I tried to empty my !nbox notebook I stumbled across the following which really annoyed me:

    Moving a note to another notebook takes a lot of unnecessary taps. Especially the last tap on “Done” is very unexpected and irritating. I would expect that after having selected the notebook to move the note to (because I can’t select several) that the window closes and I get back to the note.

    in addition to that I would need the possibility to select and move several notes on mobile. Here I am not sure whether it is not possible at all or whether I just haven’t discovered how to do that.

  4. Since the last update, each item clipped from the iOS share extension takes approximately 10 sec. to load after opening Evernote. In case I don’t need any of the recently clipped content, that should not be that big of an issue.

    But let‘s imagine I want to annotate clipped content I just added - I need to wait until everything up until this point after last having opened EN is loaded. This can easily be several minutes until the last clipped content shows up. 

  5. Dear @Ian Small, we didn't got to see a video of the Behind the Scenes series since a while. Now that EN 10 is out in the wild and interrupting many users' processes, would it be possible to get a glimpse on what your UX and QA processes look like? Here are some of the questions I would be interested to get an answer on:

    • What kind of UX methods have you used previous to building EN 10 in order to get to know what users need and how they are using the application?
    • What does testing look like? Do you have automated regression tests in place for every feature written in the new codebase? Or are you still mainly relying on manual testing?
    • How does EN ensure that beta feedback (especially regarding critical bugs!) is being taken care of BEFORE a new version is being released to everyone?
    • What is EN's contigency plan handling the mess the new major version has created?

    I guess there will be more questions coming to my (and maybe other users') mind the longer we are waiting on stable versions that can actually be used. I am aware that on Desktop I could still stick to the Legacy version, but I cannot roll back on iOS. I would love to see the light at the end of the tunnel and maybe a glimmer of hope, that EN is releasing further versions without making large parts of the software unusable.

  6. I experienced this issue too a day ago for two notes - none of them new. Edits weren't there after getting back to the note. Also apparently no sync conflict, because EN on desktop hasn't been opened during the time it happened.

    Fortunately, it were only some minor edits and I was able to recall the changes from my mind, so it wouldn't be worth to open a support ticket. The thing is it means that EN is not reliable anymore and I am not able to trust it anymore with anything. I have no Plan B how to handle my system for the transition time until EN (on ALL platforms - I mostly use it from phone where I cannot rollback to a functioning version) is usable again.

    1. You choose the action, the selection of notebooks is opened, you choose it, the note is moved.

    If it would work this way, it would made sense. Step 3 from my outline above requires an additional unnecessary confirmation step. 
    I completely agree with you that there are more urgent issues to resolve like bugs and removed functionalities. I also think that this forum is intended to point out improvements and newly introduced UX flaws. Since I use Evernote for my GTD flow and rely on processing notes quickly, additional steps for changing notebooks and setting tags and reminders are a huge annoyance.

  8. I was just testing search myself with German language. When I search for “Kuchen” (cake) I also get search results for “Küchen” (kitchens).

    From my point of view, that is NOT the desired behavior, because in German Umlaute change the meaning of words completely and when e.g. looking for recipes I don’t want to have kitchen remodeling ideas in between.

    This is not an issue with the new Evernote, this already persists since a while and I doubt that this will ever be fixed. As we see just right now, users of different languages seem to expect different behaviors.

    'The v10.0 release dropped preference settings for notes, replaced with a toggle to enable edit protection

    Please add switches for:

    1. Start in Title
    2. Use first line as title
    3. ...

    Thanks for mentioning that! I agree. I miss that in both clients I am using (iOS and MacOS Beta).

    For everything I capture I usually only need the note title in the beginning. 
    Tags and reminders are filled in later in the process, as well as the note content in case I need it.
