  1. I took a measure. On my iPhone 15 Pro Max "Your Evernote" takes up 4mm out of 15.5cm total screen height. Which is 2.6% of the screen height, not 20%.

    You can take this answer as serious as I take your rant.

    You are long enough in this forum to know that your answers should be directed at

    feedback@evernote.com

  2. No, there is no database debugger.

    You can only purge the existing database, and download it again.

    In general it needs time to download a database. If you switched recently from legacy, and only open the client when you actually use it, it may be the initial download has not even completed.

    Let the client running all the time, in the background. It will take hours and on larger accounts days until the download has completed.

    The GitHub project is a good alternative. Since it fetches all data through the API from the cloud server, it doesn’t depend on the local database.

  3. All correct, and it fits my experience as support manager.

    What I observed (with a raised eyebrow): Last summer BS was hiring for support. This then stopped. Currently they are hiring again, both support specialist and support manager (although it is not visible whether it is for EN or one of the other branches, and maybe they don’t even go by product on the 1st level).

    This is a weird pattern when you intentionally turn a longterm business upside down, technically and in the plans & pricing area.

    What doesn’t match at all is aspiration (documented by a top of the market price level) and execution (by an ongoing support downfall that is now going into the 9th consecutive month, when I take August 2023 as a starting point of the support blackout).

    And yes, that a management issue.

  4. Actually it works on more platforms than EN itself, due to the fact it doesn't need an installed client. You can even install it with minimal overhead in a Docker.

    Everything is described on the GitHub page. On a Mac I need to install Homebrew first (if it is not yet installed). Through Homebrew then the EN backup project is installed. It is executed through the command line, or automatic with a little script that is triggered in intervals.

  5. Support is quite inundated - we as other users can't really help you with this. We can just ask you to be patient, or use the ticket list on the help pages (requires a login) to look after the ticket.

    For the future these steps can make sure your account is safe:

    • Store the 2FA codes safely and where you can access them, for use whenever the dynamic code is not available
    • Make sure your phone is safe, using the different locking options and biometrics. You can in addition set up these measures for the EN account as well if you wish (Remark: I personally don't use it)
    • Use an Authenticator that can be use on several devices, not only on a single one. I personally use Authy as independent authenticator app, synced over several devices.
  6. We should not forget some aspects here: 1) Lower level plans as well keep some users away from the higher level, 2) every account comes with a base cost impact, that does not alter a lot with account sizes.

    If I take a typical low budget account (say 50% of Personal), in terms of the bottom line impact it is not in the middle. It is a lot closer to actually break even, than to the higher level plan. You can probably afford to loose 10 users from such a budget plan, if this means 1 or 2 fully paying users either stay with the more expensive subscription, or don't downgrade over time.

    It's not only the number of users that is relevant.

    What bugs me more is how will be the strategy to actually win new subscribers. "Will be" because currently I mainly see them correcting mistakes from the past.

  7. If I remember well, we had this very same discussion when the Home Screen (ver. 1) was released. EN made the app to always open on Home, and users complained about it until a settings option was introduced. So open with Home, or where you left.

    New team, lost experience, and here we are: Discussions about a toggle for starting with or w/out Home, ver. 2.

  8. The option to set an own standard font size was probably one of the most requested features when v10 launched.

    As we can see today, it has not yet materialized. Send your request to the feedback-address. Explain why it would be important for yourself, and probably for many other users as well. It is not just an issue of aging, it has an accessibility impact for every user with impaired eyesight as well.

  9. The oldest iPhone able to run EN v10 is the iPhone 6S / 6S+. It will go up to iOS 15.

    But I wouldn’t recommend it (had it a while as my backup phone) for EN: It struggles with the app and is slow. OK for retrieval, less for active use.

    I think you should watch out for an iPhone 11 or up. Can be refurbished, but then check the battery or get it replaced if at or below 80% health.
