Try Revo Uninstaller, from the web. When it works, remove everything. Then restart the PC, download from the EN website, install and log in. Once it is open, wait for the initial download to finish before using the client.

Maybe your local database took a hit. You can rebuild it from the server: Go to the Evernote menu, Preferences, and uncheck „Keep data when leaving“ Log out of EN (File menu), quit EN (cmd-q). When asked confirm "Remove Data from This Device". If you want to be very sure, restart the Mac Open EN, log back in, wait for it to run an initial sync. Let the initial download run, and leave the app open. It will take a while to download the full content, for offline use.

You can ask to have your hammer somehow work as a screwdriver as well - or you take a screwdriver right away. Take the photo with your camera app (do you know how many options it has to make better pictures / pictures better ? Functions EN will never have, because they don’t need it). Share the picture to EN, which will create a new note. Add your comments.

If it is mainly the "Recently used" notes that is bugging you, you can simply switch it off in desktop app settings. Furthermore you can specify a notebook (other than your standard notebook) when forwarding an email by adding @myothernotebook right behind the mails title. Then the mails will go to Myothernotebook instead of the default one.

I have already flagged this issue to staff (via DM).

Can you describe your use case ? Any account (except Business, but this is shared by definition) is personal - in effect you just hide notes from yourself.

.... just think about when uploading any pictures of handwriting, that it must be JPG, PNG or GIF. EN will OCR handwriting only when saved as pictures (this means you have a bunch of them in a note, each one a single page). It will not OCR handwriting when uploaded as a pdf.

So you had all the subscription features all the time, features for money - what exactly is your problem ?

You are talking about photos, or about scanned images ? The main use of the build in camera function is probably to scan documents. On a scanned image nobody really knows which fine detail may be important, so they keep it on high quality. Shrinking the file size usually creates compression artifacts, and they destroy readability for the finer print. I have official letters scanned, with the company address in the bottom of the page, in 6pt print, light grey. And still search will find it, even if I search for information that is only there (like a tax ID number or a company registration number). About location data, the photos are embedded into a note. And the note has location data, if the function is active and the note was created on a mobile device. Opposite to location data embedded into a picture, you can even search for this location. If you want smaller picture sizes, use another app (maybe the one build into the OS) to take the picture, reduce the size and upload it. It will then have location data as well. But remember you may have problems with search later on, and this can't be corrected. Or just pay what you use, and you don't need to think about photo file sizes any more.

Go to the EN website, download the installer and run it. If this doesn't stick, maybe your local database has taken a shot. In this case use the app AppCleaner to make a complete uninstall (the Mac uninstaller won't do), restart the Mac, reinstall from the website and log in.

Penultimate is ... OK if you have nothing else. Noteshelf sort of syncs with EN, some like it, others (like me) think it is not the pink. The Sketch function build into the app is made for sketching, not for handwriting. It lacks the typical functions of good handwriting apps, like palm recognition, OCR on input and ink smoothing. To wrap it up, even on iOS I would always resort to a dedicated app for handwriting, and forget about this integration stuff. I use GoodNotes 5, and when done export a note or notebook to EN, complete with full OCR and search ability, as a pdf. I can continue to annotate it in EN - to make changes, I need to go back to GoodNotes. On Android: No idea. But I think it may be still easier to find some handwriting app, than to find one that does integrate smoothly.

Then we are here at the wrong place. Please open a new thread in the correct subforum.

Personally I like to handle my subscription through the iTunes Store, and never had a problem. But your contract is now with Google - EN has no direct access to them. Have you tried with PlayStore support yet ?

If you want to keep Mac and mobile in sync, you need to update. They release new features pretty much at the same time in both platforms. Updating one and not the other can lead to inconsistent behavior. Beside this, not updating is your own decision. I think it is more reasonable to keep the dmg files of the prior version, which always allow a fresh install of the older software. But up to now, with 40 releases and counting I never had to use this exit.

Contact support about it. We are other users, and probably can’t troubleshoot this problem. Edit: As an idea: If you have the disk optimization active on the Mac, probably only a link to the file will be really stored on your Mac. The full content will only be on iCloud. Maybe EN can't force a download to the local storage, and displays an error. Just my 5ct ...

Ask support … We are just other users; walking on water and forsaking the future is Wednesdays only, on new moon in July when the Great Bitter Lake is frozen on that day. This solves the walking on water thing, and it is WAY in the future.

What you mean is called „geofencing“. Activate something when you enter or leave a location. You can send your idea to EN using the feedback function build into the clients.

If you really are still on the legacy EN iOS app (which is this subforum all about), you are on your own. The old client is end of life. If you are on the new client, you should post in the correct subforum. This makes it easier for other users to find the content. Hint: I get my reminder notifications by email, plus a read dot with a number on the app symbol. This is with the new client, and the current iOS.

Sorry to say it bluntly: It makes no sense at all to have notebooks named like this. It is completely beside the point of organizational concepts provided with EN. Use tags, reminders or tasks to organize by dates. Some use a standard title blueprint to sort by date. This said, issue a support ticket if you think a change should be coded. The forum is user2user.

This is only partial true. The documentation for the „Source“ operator is found in this document. https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php However it misses the sourceurl version. I am not sure how much of this is intentional, and how much of it are „Easter Eggs“ created, but not documented by one of the devs who has worked for EN and left in recent years. We know there are people in the trade who love coding, but hate documentation. So yes, maybe somebody needs to sit down and try to find all possible „triggers“ for a search. It must have one place where every search term is passed through, and usually you own your own source code to see into which direction it is forking. The Contains command was documented here, but not in the above document that says about itself it is „complete“ https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313828-How-to-use-Evernote-s-advanced-search-syntax

You can wait for this to happen … An alternative is to get the PopClip Menu bar helper. It has a configurable Date & Time stamp element you can load into the popup menu. It allows to insert a D&T stamp in every application, not only into an EN note.

The basic concept is different: With ToDoIst you manage tasks. With EN tasks you make your notes actionable. This is a completely different approach. It will serve some better, others will stick to their task manager of choice.

… or install legacy - it will never, ever update.

Relevance is this voodoo EN performs on the server. I have never seen it described with the algorithm (probably proprietary). You can try to ask support about it.
