  1. plain text of above: Mr. Simionato, I read your recent blog published on 4/18/23. Therein, you wrote: “Please let us know what you think of the product improvements and additions. Your feedback is really appreciated. You can email me at federico@evernote.com. I can’t promise I’ll reply, but I will read every message.” Since Evernote revamped the program about two years ago, I’ve been writing to the company and receiving, of the most part, stock responses. As a result, I am on a constant search for a replacement in which to place my 8321 notes. Below is what I think of the product “improvements” over the last two years: As an Evernote user for over 12 years, I am so displeased that I have been looking for a replacement. I believe that the 2021 changes make the program much less useful and entirely too difficult to navigate. I tired reverting to “Evernote Legacy” on numerous occasions. The result was not good. The Evernote program's prior version was far superior to the current version, including the three that I use: Windows, Evernote.com, and Android. in the Windows and online versions. As a result of the company dismantling the prior version and its outstanding features, I can no longer look at my list of notes in a notebook adjacent to the side panel without also having to have 1/3 or more of the page cluttered with one open note at all times. This is true in the online version, and the Windows version; and whether one uses the snippet View, the card view of the list; and whether one uses the side list or the top list. This deficiency, for me, is enough to abandon the program. I believe that Evernote would be far more useful and powerful if the company restored the ability to collapse the Note panel on the right of the screen. All that would be necessary is to set up the Note panel on the right (or the bottom in top list view) with an arrow allowing that panel to collapse, as in the SIDEBAR panel on the left. That would allow the user to see the sidebar, as in the pre-2021 versions, with the list of Notes, Notebooks/Stacks, and tags together with a full listing of notes in a notebook — without having 1/3 or more of the screen cluttered with a Note. If I want to read or edit a note, I can open it. I cannot understand why SOME note needs to clutter the screen at all times? Beyond the above major flaw in the program, the Android version is nowhere near as useful as the prior Android version. Aside from the elimination of the useful interface, the program frequently freezes and does not allow a sync or movement of a Note to a different notebook. That is why, after more than 12 years as a customer, I find myself looking for a replacement. Again, if only the Note on the right side could be collapsed, the program would be much more useful. Thank you. Alan Goldberger
  2. Here's an idea: Bring back Evernote Legacy. The program was basically ruined in 2020.With 8000 notes, I am beyond disgusted. Horrible thing to do to customers who have paid for years.
  3. How could Evernote be improved" Bring back Evernote Legacy. With the current web and Windows editions, at least 1 note must be open — and take up nearly ½ the entire screen — at all times. In the prior versions, the layout was such that you could see your list of notes and notebooks and, if desired select a note to look at. Since the past few revamps of the program, approximately half the screen is devoted to displaying at least one note at all times, whether you want to see it or not. This makes not one bit of sense to me, especially since a simple fix would allow the pane to be narrowed down or eliminated by dragging the cursor to the right. Then the program would regain its usefulness. This is why I am looking for a replacement. Other than this major defect, I love the program for the past 10 years. I am hoping that a correction can be made in this regard, so the user has a reasonable choice. Last Spring, I upgraded to Professional because the promo stated that “customization” was available for the home page. This was a severely limited “customization” ; so I returned to my prior level and have been looking for an alternative to EN ever since. Having no way to hide the presence of one note at all times is more than annoying. It makes the program much more difficult to work with than the prior version. 2. I tried to revert to Evernote Legacy for several months; but the lack of support and attendant malfunctions in syncing made it impossible to sustain. Nevertheless, it was superior to the current version. I find that having no way to hide the presence of one note at all times is more than annoying. It makes the program clunky and much more difficult to work with than the prior version. 2. Evernote should allow the Note panel to be removed from view, at least in the "Side View"; or even allow it to be minimized or greatly reduced, so the user can see their list of Notes. I do not see any reason why Evernote cannot enable hiding the NOTE panel on the right side of the list of notes. It takes up far too much space and is unnecessary. When I want the list I do not want half the page taken up by a note. If I want to visit a note I can do so. This was a terrible change and now the note takes up more space than ever.

Thank you. I am looking for a replacement program. Disgusted with the recent changes. They make the program much less useful and entirely too difficult to navigate.
  5. EVERNOTE 2020 CHANGES MADE THE PROGRAM MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO USE IN WINDOWS, WEB AND ANDROID. In his post of December 10, 2020 Mr.Small writes: We are listening to and acting on your feedback.

  6. Unnecesary disaster is right. The new Evernote is not what I signed up for. Everything was fine. I can't imagine why you would strip away the set up for this mess. Horrible.
  7. i downloaded and installed the New Evernote for Windows. Could somebody please tell me how to revert to the "old" Evernote for windows that I have used for 8 years? The new Evernote does not appear to be an improvement at all. I am an unhappy customer.
