Good to read that Bending Spoon's staff is already into Evernote and taking action and not leaving EN development side by side on their own. BS has some state of the art mobile software on the market. I am really curious and somehow looking forward to what is to come when these guys now get their hands on it. Maybe we finally even get a nice native app on mobile (especially for Android 🙏) again.

With all respect @PinkElephant, we are in the Android sub-forum and what you write is wrong here. Watch your words, please. Android devices running Android 10+ are blocked from using EN8.13.3 installations until you get access granted from second/third level support. You literally have to send them your actual IP to get your devices unblocked. I ran through this process several times after trying out EN10.X for some time. The blocking shows when log in screen does nothing after entering the credentials (discussed in this forum with "please wait"-screen). The blocking occurs after you once used EN10.X with your account. You then only can roll back doing the extra mile with EN support.

I do see this frequently as well since EN updated to 10.47. Previous version does not have this problem. Hopefully devs will figure it out asap.

Hi there, I stumbled over a bug on 10.46 when trying to open a pdf attachment. Normally the in-app view would launch (bad to not being able to chose a decent pdf viewer but at least I could look up the content without downloading the file to the device). Now when I tip on a pdf attachment the Android app chooser launches (I cheered for a moment!) ... but it only shows navigation app (apps normally opening upon gpx-files). Access to pdf gone - only workaround: download. I see this behaviour on multiple devices on my account. Other apps on Android open pdf regularly. Can anyone confirm this? PS: I raised a ticket# 3631765

Creation of duplicate notes on the same device your editing on right at this moment is imho a confirmed bug on Android, nothing you @STM818can really do about. I see this once in a while and - man - we have 2023 and this is embarrasing. But Evernote are developing a new sync mechanism which seems to be on beta right now. So they are programming their way out of that misery. Hopefully these problems will be gone with the sync rehaul.

Thanks for that hint 👍🏼. Nice! Being a workaround that needs a search action you can achieve an in-app-link this way even on mobile, too 🙂 Would be nice if they eventually added the copy-internal-in-app-link functionality to the three-dot-menu within a note as well to prevent cluttering in feature/design-parity (which was on the goals for the EN10 overhaul)

EN for Android handles in-app-links perfectly (created on web or desktop), it simply cannot create them. I once asked support why, and they answered, that they did not add this feature to the app yet. They confirmed the missing feature parity and thanked for my suggestion 😉. But even the irritation naming (at least in german localisation) with "copy internal link" (translated) was never changed to "copy internal web link" (naming parity). Obviously not in scope.

Did some testing on EN for Android 10.46 and could reproduce the bug again. It still shows on freshly created notes (in this case created on desktop). Whereas they show fine on desktop and web, the Android client will not. Oh come on Evernote, we are seeing this for over two years now 😞 But... Bending Spoons got the hand over Evernote and their claim is: Yes we, the paying customers deserve a product at least working as expected. Stunning inside and out would be really cool on top of this. I will measure the product by this the upcoming months 😁

Hi there, In the Android app the backlink icon is only shown if I don't have tags in the note. Otherwise the tag symbol is displayed on top of the backlink icon - I guess because it is not shown as soon as I add a tag to the note. See here in a sample: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s564/sh/99f73c38-d2da-2064-2b4f-c9a5e72dff45/eff99c1729c257bb954570b168cdcc79 Before opening a ticket, can anyone here confirm this bug on their end? Thank you.

Interesting with how much energy EN's ignorance on this simple request is tried to be justified 😅

To be honest my thought was: Man, if this guy has been through all this sh... with EN10 maybe even on an Android device he probably brings the motivation to flip some shifters in a new direction even if this would mean to invest in software development. Am I the only one when thinking that keeping Evernote imprisoned in a framework will prevent the EN service from unleashing its full potential?

It is requested to pin notes to the top of a notebook instead of using work arounds as reminders or the dashboard. I voted for it.

Me too, would be an opportunity for EN to attract the next generation users. But looking on the development the innovation in functionality seems to shift / concentrate on business users. Instead of focussing on stability and a modern sync as first priority, they integrate calender / team functionality. With the restrictions on basic plan none of my family members is even willing to keep the app, after a few of their nag screens. A personal plan for every single family member is over the top in pricing considering the market. For a family use case Evernote surely is not the right product to go for, sadly 😔

The duplication problems @salguddescribes are a design flaw of EN10 in the actual state, creating duplicates while editing on only one device. Seen on mobile as well. We all hope this vanishes with the sync overhaul which was announced by CEO and maybe arrives in 2023. @salgud The only actual solution to prevent this reliably is to roll back to the legacy versions or - sadly - take another note taking app. You are doing nothing wrong, you can expect the software to get better.

Looking at their hiring pages they invest on native Android developers. Maybe there is hope for EN on Android to be a top notch mobile app one day again. Watching the interview I get the impression that imprison an app in a third party framework is rather not the go-for-it in the BS spirit. After already 2 years of misery on Android my fingers keeps crossed. I would not mind BS giving the Android app another (native) recode 😉

Same experience here. As long as the widgets do not get any updates without having to open the app for a good 1-2 minutes manually they are of no use. Really looking forward to the sync overhaul. Hoping they will eventually add background syncing option (as in good old 8.13.3) of the main database (and widgets!). Allowing us to get in sync tasks and reminders on all devices without having to open up Evernote manually on every device. I would totally accept a push sync instead of the polling of EN8.13.3 🤩Fingers keep crossed.

I experience this once in a while as well when handling the device in tilted orientation while screen is locked to portrait. It does not happen often. My solution when it occurs: I close EN, hold the device in portrait orientation, open up Evernote. It opens correctly in portrait. After that I can tilt the device without unwanted screen rotations. It is a little nasty bug.

Every once in a while I am trying it on mobile (Android for sure) and get some of the issues as you describe. Especially the zoom-in and -out is out of control since the beginning of EN10. While on smartphones it sometimes works on my tablet it is mainly unusable. On my devices the sketching features are also very lagging / not responsive. But this is an overall problem with the Android app, too.

Welcome to the club. Just curious: Did you use your account with any other EN10 installation on any other Android devices before or just 8.13.3 running until than. My personal observation is, that every fresh install of EN10 on Android needs a vast amount of time for the first sync building the database on device. I have app. 2000 notes and the initial sync without any offline notebooks lasted app. 1 hour per device, consuming arround 1 GB storage on each device. Keeping in mind, that without offline notebooks the app can do nothing without internet connection you can really question what all this time and data consuming process is all about. If you have MUCH more notes than me, this might even extend the needed time for first install to another level. Unfortunately support never made the slowing mechanics transparent. They excused with the "we are working on the performance issues" to me since the early 10.X versions in Q1-2021. Maybe - or hopefully - this ends with the new sync engine.

Just to add my experience in case anyone is missing the noteslimit-entry in the config.json file: In my fresh 10.49.4 windows installation there even was no entry for notes limit in the quoted config.json file. Nonetheless, I got the 50 notes-limit as well. They somehow defaulted the app to 50 notes. But when I just copied the line from @agsteele's posting into the json-file ... voilà, the limit is now raised to 500 which should be enough in most cases 🙂 . Thank you!

That's why we need fearure parity on windows: have the opportunity to select the realyl needed offline notebooks for download AND show what is already available offline. Until now it is fully intransparent on desktop. @pablovsYou could use the EN legacy win client instead. It downloads the notes much faster.

That is some of my fear too. EN now is already somewhat overpriced compared to what you get for the money in the cloud business. You can get a full featured office solution, with tons of cloud storage and note taking, calendar and task integration for less. We all know the product. If the high EN pricing comes from the cost of the storage consumed by free accounts they should stop or limit that tier and better invest the money in development (especially Android platform 😉). No higher prices acceptable on my side with the current state of the product.

You are free to ask for a refund if EN10 does not serve the advertised features in your case. Maybe support is generous if technical support confirmed there is a bug on their end crashing your paid user experience. So as @PinkElephantsuggested I would start with support first.

To answer the initial question: no. No increased performance noticed the last weeks, now on EN 10.44.1 with two devices. One slow, the second nearly dead slow performance (that is waiting for seconds after pressing buttons in the gui to react). For me still far away from responsive. I mean, the responsiveness I expect from a mobile note taking app as we get from OneNote, Keep, Evernote 8.13.3

Exactly saw the same issue yesterday on a Samsung Android 11 tablet. Tried cache and restarting. But only a clean fresh install could solve the issue. Hopefully this was a one-timer.
