Just wanted to say i truly loved Evernote, ( My team Primarily uses iPad Pros and thats how EN is engaged 24-7) however the slow updates to improve the quality of the iPad Pro app and lack of answering the needs on Evernote Business ( Table Implementation on the iPad Pro is beyond horrible from desktop, for Pete sake the Apple Watch can record Audio in Evernote but not play it in its own player 🤦🏽‍♂️ ) is just becoming to much to deal with. As a team we loved EN possibility, its powerful ability to have everything in one app quick and simple and easy to share with spaces in teams. But every time we attempt to go all in the shortcomings of the platforms lack of updates arise. We are big users of workchat in spaces but its so horrid and a siloed section in the app ( not floating chat and not one that has a note/space ability on the fly ) sharing a space with clients is just insanity. We are huge Apple Pencil users for note taking and wanted to share those notes on the fly while editing them no matter where we are ...Evernotes Apple Pencil implementation is probably the worst i have seen. No lined pages no forever note taking and some of the worst ink i have seen to write down notes on lines i have seen since the iPad was released. The lack of refinement is the issue. Yes i see the videos of whats coming but its been years of these problems and at best we got Dark Mode??? Penultimate become a dead product not being updated for years. Apple Watch App is broken ( cannot play audio even captured from its own player ) Spaces hasn’t had a update to how you communicate with teams ( floating chat ) making it easier to share spaces and notes Seeing updates of peers in spaces is horrible no notifications no understanding of who’s on what they did. Apple Pencil support terrible, no lined pages option and infinite page writing ability ( why differ to anything app when this can just be added just to want to sync back with Evernote) Slow , Slow, Slow Table support on the iPad Pro is the WORST. Want to create a table .....horrible want to edit a table created on the Mac..on the iPad Pro. It’s probably the worst experience I have seen and its not even scaled to the resolution of the iPad Pro when attempting to edit a table. Just a lack of interest in user experience. Evernote has been a long standing fight for wanting updates from me. Now with the new Apple Notes update paying for Evernote business is becoming a chore for my team wanting these updates primarily utilizing iPad Pros to conduct business. We did a test iteration with the current notes and when the nested folders come with iPad OS along with the support for all the above mentioned and real time iCloud editing on shared notes with the team. Apple Pencil lined paged support etc OCR support etc. We just couldn't understand why Evernote waited this long to add more value. From a long time Evernote user for years and 6 business users in spaces migrating our thousands of notes as we speak to Apple Notes i bid you farewell and please update the damn iPad Pro app for future users. Stay Classy Elephant.

But things are not that simple especially for business users like myself who want basic features added or fixed rather to collaborate better with heavy EN usage and content spanning years. If things where simple EN would update their engine to support modern features or even iPad Pros. For users especially those who want EN to do more than Dark mode; its a bit more complex then simply dumping a Dropbox. Whats nice about the younger companies is their ability to add features in a timely fashion. Users feature request X they time table it and it releases. However EN not so much; Im one of the OG EN users when the platform first launched it was an exciting time. However in that time updates where flourishing, the community was busy talking about new features and it the platform was buzzing. Now what i find is EN spaces for instance hasn’t had a meaningful update for sharing. Work Chat is in DIRE need of update. What ever happened to Penultimate ( check out that update version year wise ) We get great updates from the new CEO but nothing is tangible as of yet its all kind of a crawl. Has Evernote become to big to be able to pivot in a world where its competitors are adding features faster then they can have people so eloquently present passive ways to differ a topic? I dont have the answer sadly, What i do know is that Every Evernote business user i know is incredibly frustrated with ENs lack of updates when it comes to collaboration and testing multiple services due this slow ability to act.

That would defeat the purpose of wanting to merge those features onto one platform. I currently use Notability, however one would want the sketch feature on EN to be slightly modified to offer more to utilize one platform. I’m hoping you are wrong and they see value in a simply writing platform for note taking with the Apple Pencil.

How about a sketch tool that has lined pages and was more featured for the Apple Pencil.

But concerning Evernote iPad OS gives no more power to app development than the current development tools in terms of access to metal etc. I’m very frustrated on how Evernote gimps the iPad version.

There is no technical reason why the iPad cannot have parity. The only reason is because the Dev team is treating it like a resized iphone application. If you look at One Note, Bear, Notion they are pushing the limits of what iPad Pros can do while Evernote is treating the iPad Pro rather lackluster in comparison to the desktop. I use my iPad Pro more than my 3K MBP and prefer it to the MBP and think its ridiculous that it doesn’t have feature parity.

Looking forward to seeing work chat being improved and notifications of updates on spaces , notebooks for business users

Will the business Spaces feature be worked on aswell currently we use spaces but dread the workchat and heavily want a floating chat to share EN notes and better notifications of notebook updates and message notifications and grouping of users in chats.

The issue is the app is stagnant which can be indicative of issues within. For Pete sake Penultimate hasn’t been updated significantly since the IPAD AIR!!!! I’m becoming increasingly concerned with the lack of updates.

The issue is concerning considering a MAJOR update of any significance hasn’t been done or mentioned. It’s getting increasingly concerning.

I’m a long time user from Free account to Premium to Business Evernote is not doing significant updates to the product that allow this software to remain on the competitive edge of must wanted features. Things that are making me want to switch to another platform if this doesn’t improve or until BEAR releases a enterprise product. Evernote Business work chat SUCKS a) No notifications like any modern message app b) No floating message icon so you can COLLBORATE AND WORK via spaces? Bizarre omission c) takes a act of congress to add remove users in an active chat. It has the capability to be the perfect in app work chat but it SUCKS and hasn’t been updated to anything a modern floating point chat cliente does within a app. Literally collaborating with iWork or MS Office software is easier than trying to collaborate with work chat. Do you know what we have to do as business users export all EN file conversations to iMessage because work chat doesn’t allow you to do anything spaces is designed to do. It’s insane how bad it is and how bad it hasn’t been updated by now. EN Pencil support: I mean where is the support? Got a bunch of iPads want to take notes and not sketches because its crappy handwriting guess what....it’s incredibly limiting. Not only the writing pencil feature doesn’t allow you to have lined ruled pages and also doesn’t have a unlimited page option to write freely. Oh lets say EN gives the corporate differ to another solution message of use Penultimate. Well guys i have a great realization or you Penultimate hasn’t been updated with BASIC UPDATES OR ANY ATTENTION from EN for over a YEAR!!! That’s right folks no annotation no modern features the app looks like it did with a minor UI refresh for when iPads first came out with the jot script stylus’s. WHY ISNT THIS BEING UPDATED? Apple Watch Support? Well there is none lets say you want to take a audio note on your watch folks guess what....YOU CANT PLAY IT BACK ON YOUR WATCH LMFAO. That’s right the Apple Watch app has been pending a fix since the first gen Apple Watch and we are on series 4 from apple and still cant play a file thats recorded on the watch to playback on the watch speaker. TO DO LIST UPDATES!! That’s folks you take the tedious times to compile a to do list in EN guess what happens when you complete a box IT DOESNT STRIKE THROUGH ON ANY IOS DEVICE PERIOD. Not only that it doesn’t go away disappear or anything. You literally just created bullets for no reason and might aswell used the native device to do list because YOU CAN ACTUALLY COMPLETE A TO DO LIST AND WHEN YOU SHARE THOSE LISTS THE SHARED USERS GET NOTIFICATIONS!!!! WOW!!! Why on Evernotes green elephant hasn’t this been updated? Creating great tables? Guess what not on a iPad Pro Bud!!! Yes you can download MS Office and iWork and do full tables along with infinite cells and rows but on a new iPad which is more powerful than majority of laptops ENs software is so powerful it cannot create a tablet. Buisness users rejoice you pay per user for a product that cannot do a basic table but EVERY OTHER PRODUCTIVITY APP CAN DO THIS? What on Evernotes Green Elephant is going on here? Are you guys out of office indefinitely? Evernote Space changes notifications Do you have a business team that loves to edit things in difffent times; you ever want to keep up with the changes done to your notebooks and spaces well fear NOT you better check ever darn space’s dashboard but EN will give you ZERO and i mean ZERO updates via in app notifications to any Space, Notebook or note. THIS IS TRULY THE DEFINITION OF FACETIME!!! And when they finally come out with a big update...you know the one that encompasses what the users in the forums want....the ones that predate the iPhone 5S that haven’t been updated or the iPad 4 ..EN has your back with DARK MODE You guessed it the heck with all your must have features use the software as is with the comfort of dark backgrounds and lit PDFs that will surely make you forget all the lack of progression of this software. Keep on posting about spaces for personal or any updates IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!!!. By then BEAR will have created a product or anyone else thats roughly 10 years ahead of EN because as much as i love Evernote its simply not keeping up with anything MODERN. Will Evernote EVER UPDATE THIS APP????

I expect judging by ENs lack of interest in updating the product to fix these things we wont see a fix or a update until we all wait for BEAR to release a enterprise version which is soon. EN is will probably release a Darkish mode by then and we all will be complaining the same things for years while they stagnate for some reason thats beyond comprehension. UPDATE EVERNOTE!!!!

I currently utilize Notability, however i could easily not use it anymore if the EN writing feature was literally 1.1% better then it was now at basic writing and infinite page masking in a note book. The bar is very low to just be able to stay into Evernote instead of multiple apps to send back into EN.

It’s not rocket silence to convert the sketch option into a writing based solution. They just need to add more to the core in terms of handwriting recognition. They can easily add writing templates and allow EN to offer Penultimate level writing via Apple Pencil without having to be forced to go out of the Evernote ecosystem. I have never understood why they just dont update sketch to be a writing tool. The same way they integrated Skitch can be applied to EN and a proper Apple Pencil writing feature. I shouldn’t have to export my hand writing meeting notes to EN every time every day simply because the Sketch Feature is unless.

I am experiencing the samething we get ZERO change note notifications in notification center and its VERY Annoying.
