@MRWConnected Are you using a desktop version?  If so, is it Windows or Mac?

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

I imported over 19,000 notes from Evernote into Notion a few days ago.  I was amazed how quickly it worked and I received a $5 credit from Notion for using the new Evernote importer.  However, I'm finding out now that many, many notes did not import.  And it appears to be random, not based on any particular type of Evernote note.  I may try re-importing one notebook at a time.  My largest single notebook in Evernote has 8796 notes and many of those didn't import into Notion.  I want Notion to have a full backup of all of my Evernote notes but if some are missing, it kills that idea.  I'm going to do further research.

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.

No, I don't need to switch; that's just the point. No reloading required; it's all done via sync. I share notebooks to the other account, and they appear as part of that account's environment. I can stack them as needed search works, etc. Switching to a personal notebook when I'm at work is as simple as clicking on it, just like I would on a work notebook. The only drawback is that you can't create tags in a notebook that's shared to you, but for me, my tag set is pretty stable, so it's rarely a problem.

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.

I switch between personal and work notes all the time. I use two accounts, one for personal (a premium account) and one for work (a freebie). I share notebooks back and forth across as necessary: I share a small number of personal notebooks from my personal account to my work account (I don't want personal/private information on my work computer); and most of my work notebooks to my personal account, so wherever I am, I can generally access what I need. On the rare occasions when I am at work, but need something from a non-shared personal notebook, then I can use my phone for that.

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.

I have been a premium Evernote user for five years. Loved this app.  Web Clipper is not working anymore, particularly, the picture copy tool is what I use a lot.

I contacted support a couple days ago, after months of not working correctly.  they said, oh yeah, that is an issue. Staff is working on it. I mentioned to Geoff that it has not been working for months. I understand when google updates chrome, then Evernote has to update and this may be the issue. Yet, every other App I use manages to deal with updates.  Evernote is now 10 different apps in one, perhaps that is five too many.

After a few texts back and forth with tech support, I asked if he had any solution or was their another App that clips photos I could use until Evernote Web Clipper was working again.

He said no, and I said asked nicely,  Why am I paying Premium when I have got no cost Basic service for the last 6 months.  His response was he could send the link to cancel my subscription. I thought that response cold.  I said goodbye to Geoff.

If that is Evernote's solution to a long time customer, it means I am trusting over 3000 notes, files to a company who could care less about me or my money.  Please post if anyone knows a way transition my data out of Evernote?  Or better yet, Evernote CEO, COO, CFO, please get back to the basics of what was a great tool for me to use. I will be glad to spend the money you charge.

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?
