Mostly Mac desktop version. Also use it on iPhone and Android.

I had tons of problems with exporting from Evernote. It would skip certain notes and throw errors sometimes. I was gung ho when I started this thread about getting out and just can't because I need all of the data but can't successfully export or move to another platform. After lots of back and forth with the Evernote support team, it still wasn't resolved. There's something about certain notes that stops them from exporting - a corruption in the file, or something. It's one of the reasons that I'm still unhappily stuck in this junk software.

Were you able to import both personal and business notebooks without an issue? (Into Notion.)

Tried that, but it finds another note with a problem. Went through 7 notes before giving up. Submitted a trouble ticket.

To add insult to injury, I can't successfully export my notes. I keep getting "resource" errors. I exclude a note that is causing an issue, and it finds another with an issue. Notes appear fine in the application but clearly there's a problem. Thanks again Evernote.

Thanks for all the input on this. My issue is as much the clunky, busy interface as it is the speed thing. I often have to switch between personal and work notes, and this in particular has become cumbersome. I'm on a brand new, top-end machine with a 2TB SSD - so my issues are not hardware related. It's unfortunate that Evernote continues to ignore this thread and repeated support tickets on this matter.

I understand, but the notebook interface is lousy and the idea of sharing notebooks all over the place doesn't seem like a lot of fun. I can see how it might work for some, but I'm not really excited about a patch at this point. Just need to get out of it.

Yes, I know how to switch, but it's clunky and slow. It used to be nicely integrated. Now it has to slowly reload a new window. Jumping back and forth between business and personal feels like a chore.

This is very similar to my interactions with them. I almost forgot about how irritating the Web Clipper has been, as I'd given up on it.

I'd have to go back a dozen versions because it has just gotten worse with every release. Your interface/UI team should be fired and replaced. Do some user testing, or something. It's horrible. We're all on Macs and increasingly everyone we work with is complaining about it. You guys should figure it out before it's too late. Your software has gone from a business essential to absolute garbage on all platforms. The mobile apps should be dragged out and shot too. Sorry, to be harsh, but it's reality. I have hundreds of notes, and dumping to html isn't exactly easy to manage and import into another system.

Anyone have tips on how to get out of Evernote. I've absolutely hit the wall of tolerance for the tool. The interface gets worse with every update, and my team is about to explode with frustration. Any thoughts on how to get out? I'd like to be able to export into something useful, but the XML and HTML export options aren't exactly easy to work with or useful. (Thanks Evernote - one more reminder that it's time to get out.) I might move to Google Drive, or just Dropbox for now, but I want the notebooks in something more useful. Anyone found an easy path?
