Well, that really is strange! I am using the same version of the app as you, but my text formatting bar looks totally different. And of course, I have no button to toggle it on or off. I am using Android 7.0, so perhaps you only get the button in the even-numbered versions of Android, not the odd-numbered versions?  ha ha.

And Dave, I just saw your post in the other thread where a user recently updated their app who has NO text formatting bar and no button to turn it on! Weird indeed.

Jefito - this is extremely helpful. I went looking for the Evernote tools menu on my Windows 7 Professional computer and couldn't find it. So rather than unnecessarily bother you about it, I did a Google search and found I needed to have the desktop client version of Evernote and that it couldn't be accessed from the web client. So I downloaded it, found the tools menu, unchecked all the note editing options and you won't believe what happened - the A showed up and I was able to toggle the toolbar off on my computer!!!  Now I'm hoping I can sync this version to my phone to get rid of the toolbar so I can see my text while I type my notes. I deleted the number row of  my keyboard to have more reading area but and I  still can only read about 1/2 a line of text while I type. Without the toolbar I can see 3  lines of text plus have my number row on the keyboard.  My phone is Android 5.0.1 and I've been using Evernote with it since I got it a couple of years ago. This toolbar situation is new having just showed up for the first time 2 days ago.   Thank you so much!!    Susan

Susan - did you ever find a solution for your Android version of the app? I see you installed the Windows app and got the "A" button to show up there, but any luck doing the same with your Android device?

I see others above are already endorsing a recommended solution to the problem you encountered on your Android device, but no solution was ever offered. FWIW, I am on Android 7.0 and I have the same problem (see my post above).

Unfortunately, there was no solution found in that thread. 

Before you added your message above, I did add some images of the problem to that thread you refer to, just in case it helps to resolve the issue. I am not sure people understand that the interface has changed between versions. What do you think?

This seems to be a recent change in version 8 of the Android app:

Not in the updated version of the app that installed on my phone. That capital A button was in version 7, not version 8, hence my post.

My Android phone recently updated to version 8 of the Evernote app. Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to hide the text formatting bar, like you could easily do in previous versions of the app.

Am I missing an option somewhere? It seems like a pretty obvious thing to want to do, so I am surprised the ability to hide the formatting bar would be removed on an updated version of the app.

Thanks to anyone who can offer a solution.
