My preference would be on the TOP. Why ? Because if the note is just holding an attachment (like a pdf, as many of mine do), I would rather not like to move around the complete window to find all my elements. At the top, I can today a) modify the note title (spotlight search on the Mac will only find these words) b) enter some short text on top of the attachment as explainer c) set my tags d) select the target notebook. Everything at the moment nice and close together in the control zone. If moved to the bottom, I will have to think about scrapping my precious 32“ display, and go back to something smaller 🤓

@RaeveMy combination is Evernote for the filing, and Things 3 for the follow up / task planning (Mac and iOS only). When you create an external link from an EN note, you can share this directly into a Things note, where it will added to the „notes“-area of the task. The task can be handled completely normal, including repetitive reminders, start dates, deadlines, assignment to a project etc. The original note is always just one click on the embedded link away. This is what it looks like after a link was shared into the Things INBOX (mmmh, planning to bake a cake 😇 )

@Atul MishraSearch is pretty solid, OCR is sometimes off, and depending a lot on the original copy if created by scanning (fonts, print quality, alignment etc.). Hint: If a pdf was OCRed before, EN will not OCR it again. Then the original OCR is decisive for search quality. To test the quality of your own OCR (from an app, software like Nuance delivered with many scanners etc.), create some documents of different print quality with your own OCR and without, upload them, wait a little until EN servers did their OCR, and compare the results by performing some searches. This can not be done directly, because the original OCR will be embedded in the pdf file, whereas EN will not modify the uploaded file. The safest way to recover what you need is adding your own information to a note, be it by a „speaking“ title, tags or text written to the note itself. On a Mac, the Spotlight search currently will only find note text from the titles (no tags, no text within notes). I prefer tagging.

Maybe I have less use for it because my active stuff is in Things, not in Evernote. If I want to follow up on a Evernote note, I create a link and create a Things task via sharing. Things has more options than EN, like repetitive tasks, a separation between start date and deadline, setting up a project structure for a group of tasks etc. Sure this leads to some double information content, but IMHO it works better than try to emulate everything in EN.

Thanks for elaborating. Maybe because I do not use templates much, I have not felt the need to automate this. In general I agree that templates should come pre-loaded with as much information as possible. Tags and title elements seem to be a logical extension of note content, which at the moment is what templates will carry along.

Normally when something like this happens it is because by accident you have created a second account. This can happen easily. No need to panic, your notes will be there, but in another place than the one you are currently looking at. Please check this first.

Would be nice to have for all of us, depending on the use case for sure be very helpful. But I think the world will still be turning, the sun will rise and the birds will sing if it does not happen right now. The priorities of EN are made pretty clear, and it is NOT to push out a load of ill designed, untested and bugged releases. By the contrary, they engage in doing boring stuff like solving a lot of trouble that is within the software we all are using today. I am fine with this approach, even if it means that the multicolor highlighter may be some way down the road, together with other features we all would love to get. But quality over features is o.k. with me. Anyhow, I voted for this feature as well.

Here the posting in total ...

It is for sure not a fair characterization. Ian Small has posted a new information on the editor improvements a couple of hours ago, telling a bit about how they involve users in the different stages of testing, and how they treat the input they receive from the field tests. A lot is of course de-bugging, but with some things they go back and try to include them into the new release. This guy knows what he talks about, and I especially like his repeated promises not to promise, but to deliver, in high quality and with proven features. For me, he is a man to be taken by his word.

??? @CalSYou’ve lost me with this sentence. Could you please give some more details ?

Just thinking loud: With 8.21 they explicitly said they made the app faster. Maybe this needs a feature not yet implemented in 13beta. In the millions of rows of code a modern OS will bring along, betas are often lacking some modules, that are still under construction or that do not fit into the new framework. If un- and reinstalling won’t help, you may have to decide between the iOS beta or using the web version of EN for a while. Or try support ...

OK, but 13 is still early beta. Standard procedure with iOS is uninstall and reinstall from the App Store. If this helps in this case depends whether the app is happy within iOS 13, or not. I am not running betas (have to work on my gadgets, and need a reliable platform), so no experience on that. With the 8.20 I had a freezing / unresponsive issue on my ipad. This I had caused myself, because I had set all of my notebooks to offline before. So every time I opened the app, it started to move data from the server. This was visible by the spinning data sync wheel. Since the notebooks are fully downloaded, the problems are gone.

Same client, no problems, neither on iPad Pro nor on iPhone 6S+. Which device are you using ? When you access EN and have the app open, is there a data sync going on (little spinning wheel) ? Do you have offline notebooks, or all just on the server ?

Is it the same thing as in this thread of the forum ? If yes, you should follow this, because it is already worked on by EN staff. Last statement was that a clean reinstall with the latest version would solve it - but there are newer posts on this.

My status about the OS and app versions is the same. No issue at all. Even if you are not aware of it, you are using Keychain ! It is deeply rooted in MacOS. Simply type „Keychain“ into spotlight search, and open the app. I am sure it will show a lot of elements. In mine, among others there is 1 element named Evernote. Probably has to do with the account / password handling of the app within the OS. To me it seems the message you get has more to do with MacOS than Evernote. Have you tried Apple support on this ? There must be a reason why Keychain kicks in.

Personally I prefer GoodNotes 5. But i agree - any good handwriting solution directly going into a note and staying editable would be very nice. Currently I import from GN as a pdf, which means I can annotate the pdf, or have to go back to GN to edit. That works pretty well for static notes, especially because they are searchable (sort of OCRed), but not for ongoing stuff.

Which MacOS version are you on ? Is it the EN client asking for the Keychain, or does it happen when opening the webclipper (there are other threads around about this happening on the webclipper) ?

No experience with Android. The recent iOS issues got sorted out fine. Maybe the same guys are just now working on the Android client (hope so, a lot of forum traffic at the moment is angry stuff about the Android client).

Here you go: Open that thread, go way down.

You forgot to state that of course you are quitting your subscription, boycott the company and threat to sue them in a class action of all non-replaceable EN users ... Or did you just have a bad day ? P.S. And of course I have voted in favor of this issue, whatever it will help create.

On my Mac, ver 7.10 stacks are there as they have been since I applied them. This reflects to my iPad (ver 8.21) as well. Screenshot is from my Mac, leftmost column. It is standard that you have to remove a notebook from one stack first, before you can put it into another. One notebook can only be part of one (1) stack at any time. Hint: Even if the App Store and the "free" version are told to be the same, after having some problems with the App Store version I was advised to get the free client for my Mac. Since then, problems were gone. Maybe installing the free client integrates the same software by other means than it happens with the version from the App Store.

I used the EN Moleskine notebooks for a while. On scanning with Scanable, I ran into problems. It seemed the function was only designed for notes that ran over a maximum of 1 page. When I had notes running over more than 1 page, it mixed up pages in the resulting note, the function to hold the lower part of the page private (=create a public upper part, and a full page view including the private notes in the lower part) did not properly work etc. To be restricted on one page only was not up to my note taking, so the smart functions for me were obsolete. Support could not sort things out, they did not seem to have real insight into the product. Finally I skipped using Scanable on the EN moleskine edition, and scanned what I had to scan using ScannerPro on my iPhone. This created normal notes with normal pictures attached. To do this, I do not need to buy a "smart" edition notebook for apps. 30€ per piece. They are very nice, good paper, etc., but you can find similar ones for much less. Currently I am still using up the points included in the Moleskine notebooks I had purchased to pay my Premium account, and that is it. On the German website of Moleskine, the notebooks do still appear, when using the search function. On the US website, the search string "Evernote" draws a blank, on the global one as well. So probably the German entity (and maybe some others) are still selling them off. There are 2 versions, one with smart stickers, the other without. Who is interested may give it a try - I assume they ship globally, as long as they have anything left to ship.

1st ***** happens, and who is on the net knows it will happen again (no excuse, just experience) 2nd obviously the reaction by EN was fast and professional 3rd who is using 2FA on his account is on the safe side, and will get notice if his credentials were stolen and used for a login attempt. So far the facts. Now I am diligently awaiting the ***** storm that will arise from those who a) use the same user & PW on several services b) do not know or care what 2FA means and c) think that a PW-Manager is only for the feeble-hearted users among us. P.S. My explizit language got replaced on posting by the stars. Somebody is watching us to only do good ...

If it is just to have it out of the view, you can create a stack called something like ZZZ_Archive, and put it there. The "ZZZ" will move the stack to the very bottom of the stacks & notebook list, and you can hide as many notebooks in there as you wish, resp. as EN allows. But they will still be there, and be visible in other views, and cluttering things up. If it is a notebook shared to you from another person, probably you will not be able to remove it without support from EN. Either try the Twitter address above, or go for one month to premium, which will allow you to contact support directly.

Yes please !
