"Sometimes" only happens in the last time ? Maybe you should downgrade the Webclient, the new version seems to have some funny behavior (not showing all notes etc.) from time to time.

The new web clipper may have a problem showing all notes. Maybe you better go back to an earlier release, and have it count again.

It seems there is something amiss with the actual WebClient (not the beta, the last release). It seems occasionally not to show notes that are surely and safely stored on the server. So consider going back to a prior version of the Web client, or use another client like iOS, Android (both working on server data as well) or one of the desktops.

Good ! Both aspects of it ...

You may think what you think. I think, this forum does not exist to be good PR. It is explicitly user-driven. So sure it helps EN with supporting their SW. For me as a user, it is an opportunity to learn. EN staff reads it, and sometimes shows up to help with some issue. That’s it, and it is not to make PR out of it. The only PR-like stuff are the new videos about what is going on with key functions of Evernote, and these are very tech-driven and valued by a large majority of the forum users (which includes critical comments). If you have a problem, as a paying user you can reach support, either via the implemented function in the clients, or though the option or chat on the EN homepage. It should be obvious that reaching out for support may help on problems with using the app or bugs, much less so on development issues and feature requests.

Just made some tests myself: Evernote, direkt handwriting into a note Apple Notes, same procedure Goodnotes 5, my standard app for handwritten notes To me it seems that with GN5, the handwriting is more legible. Up to what I’ve read about GN5, they use some optimization of the input to straighten out the script. In addition with GN5 I am mostly using the zoom window, which makes the smaller presentation neater anyhow. Evernote and Apple Notes are pretty much the same, I just observed one difference: EN sometimes straightens lines and shapes, which Notes never seems to do. So I am not sure whether they really use the same pencil engine - or EN runs some additional stuff. So I think the sketching in EN is working, but can not replace a good note taking app. What I did not test is how good the OCRing of my handwriting works. With GN5 it works amazingly good, and when you export your notes, you can send the OCR with it to have it still searchable in whatever app you send it to.

Most likely by accident you’ve created a second account. On the desktop, you will still be logged into your original account. Make sure you are really logged into your native account !

Sure it would be nice (got my vote as well). Since the toggle can be switched through the API, apps like Filterize allow for this already today - but for an additional price. You can find the description of how-to somewhere higher up in this thread.

First I think Penultimate is dead in the water. If you compare to other notetaking apps, it is just not playing on the same field. Development nearly does not take place, updates are few, functionality lags behind. My personal solution is GoodNotes 5, but there are others around that perform similar. For sketching I use other apps. Since a few weeks Tayasui Memopad 2 ranks high on my list. It has a very clean, lean interface and since ver.2 has layers that allow for much better control of what you create.

My progressives were set to normal use as well. Then I’ve got a stiff neck, etc. So I happily change glasses when I sit in front of my MacBook Pro. Tell you, doesn’t get better from year to year. So I’ve got me the 15“ Hope they put the 17“ to the market rumors talk about before it is too late. Maybe Tim Cook gets older as well, so he made product managers think more about the Golden agers 😂🤣

Never got to this point before. Reason 1: I mostly use an external keyboard (Logitech), so the virtual keys rarely show. Maybe I will try tomorrow whether the trick works as well with the physical keys. Reason 2: When I copy stuff from the web (and do not use the clipper which I mostly do) I rather use split screen and drag & drop. Will try this as well.

Yes - boom bang boom The move with the carrot trick did it. But only after the second try. So open, move, move back, in EN go down, place cursor, move, move back - everything still working - move, move back - and now it crashed when touching the EN app to move the cursor further. Looks to me as if there is a stack to hold intermediary information from the move, and on the second move there is a memory overflow that creates an undefined situation. If your support tickets are already open, maybe you should add this detail of the carrot/cursor placement to make the follow up easier.

Thanks for the hint. Just tried it several times, on iPad Pro 10.5 / 512GB, iOS 12.3.1, EN 8.21, several apps open, Evernote open, Keyboard up, switch to Safari with 4-finger-swipe, and back, then to other apps, and back, on 2 notes, one with text, the other with a pdf as attachment. No crash. When coming back to Evernote, the virtual keyboard slides quickly down to the edge of the screen, and comes up right away. There must be some other factor in this that causes the trouble.

If it does not show, it is not available. I use my iTunes account for my payments, wherever possible. As I remember, it was possible for EN to do so through iOS.

As a Premium member, you can delete, what you like - you can always go to note history and restore a former status of the note. Only thing: The note must have been saved once, and been synced to the EN server. The note history is always running, for BASIC users as well - but access and restore is restricted to the paying accounts. If somebody on BASIC is afraid to have lost something, one can go for one month to PREMIUM, and restore, because the note history will have covered as well what has happened before. I am using 70% of my EN time my iPad, and have not lost a single note up to now. And if: Note history ! For me, the reason for locking notes is more with shared or business notebooks. There you can control it on a notebook level, but not note by note.

Using Penultimate ?

1) No, they should follow the movement on the Mac. Have you synced from the Mac to the server since moving stuff around ? If you have offline notebooks on iOS, this can create a time lag as well. You will see the download symbol behind the notebooks that are still syncing. Moving a note to another notebook means on iOS /offline that it will sync the note newly to the new notebook. The iOS client will not move it from one to the other, even if it is already there, downloaded to the old location. 2) No, if tags as such are concerned, same question as above. Yes, when tag structure is concerned, because on iOS the tag hierarchy will not show.

Tags should sync without problems. There is just one issue to keep in mind: Tags can be nested in a hierarchy on the Mac. This deep structure will not be shown on the iOS device. The tags will be there, but not in the hierarchical structure. Tagging is a key function in EN, so I would rather give it a second thought. One note can only be in one notebook, but it can carry many tags. I do use notebooks and tags quite flexible. One example: During the year I collect invoices and other stuff relevant for my tax declaration. I am tagging them with #tax and #2019, no matter where they are in their notebooks. When it is time to do the tax declaration, I search for these tags and create a copy of the notes in a new notebook TAX2019. This notebook now contains all my tax relevant stuff for one year. I create a note with the table-of-content-function to make it easier to get an overview. And then I share this notebook with my accountant. He will work on it and prepare the tax declaration. When everything is done, I tag all notes in that notebook with a new tag #tax2019. Then I move the content to an archive notebook, and delete the shared notebook. By this, the access to the data is gone, but I can always reproduce what content has been in that tax declaration notebook in the respective year. This uses a basic though in Evernote: Notebooks are for the overall structure and properties like private, shared, offline etc. For content / information, use tags. If you do not share, hold nothing private or offline, you can live with just 1 mega-notebook, but not without tags. If you follow something like GTD, you can build your whole life around less than 10 notebooks, using tags. If you clean up your tags from time to time (like joining seldom used ones together), you can keep them neat and structured, much better than with moving notes around notebooks.

The easiest explanation is that you were on a VPN tunneling to California, or the network was going through a proxy server there. A VPN must nit necessarily be build from the PC, there are complete networks (mostly company ones) that always use a VPN, often going into their headquarter. Thus all devices linked to that network can use the Intranet, servers and other resources of the company. Home use can be to be able to watch the latest Netflix stuff not yet available from ones home country. Check the date and time of the access, and if you may have linked up to such a network at that time.

If you are on a Samsung S9, this is probably the wrong thread ... There seem to be an issue with the Android client, so please check for such postings.

Generally there are 2 starting positions: One before you get involved with a service. You have everything in the open, no investment into one service, no price to pay when you switch over. But on the other hand you just know what they tell you, and you will not have a solid picture of your own usecase and workflows. The other when you already build a significant structure with one of the providers, have invested time and effort, probably learned about and adapted your usecase and workflow to the abilities of the service you use. At the moment I am making this experience, sort of. I worked with Windows PCs for the major part of my professional and private life, and am just now switching to a Mac. Some things work better, others show surprising deficiencies (like the ScanSnap software for Mac). So pick your choice, don’t worry, be happy. To stay on should be a choice of it’s own, not just gravity. P.S. I personally stick with EN for the time being. 1st it offers solid, reliable and performant service for the money, and 2nd I like what I see in recent management communication and release quality.

Just to make it a little easier than the academic explanation, I tell it as a story: I am sitting at my desk in Germany. Now I am going to attack your account (if I had your credentials, which I don't have, and if I had any intention to do so, which I don't have), but want to cloak my location. What would I do ? Activate my VPN, switch the country to say Singapore, which builds a VPN tunnel from my PC to Singapore, and enter your account data. What would you see ? An access from Singapore. Not good enough, because several data from my PC would be transmitted as well, that could be used for fingerprinting my device. OK, so I use some software that will virtually convert my PC into an Android, Samsung S5, together with all false device and SW fingerprints. Now you have got what you would see later: An access from Singapore with an Android device to your account. In reality I am sitting on my desk in Germany, and use a PC to go and steal your data. This is how it happens (or better: If Disaster Kid is doing it, Pros would rather use automated software to do this, and not use a VPN service but a network of "dark" proxy servers used for the same purpose, but harder to track). Wellcome to the world behind the mirrors, where nothing is at it seems. One last thing: Nothing has to do with EN not protecting your data, but with yourself logging in yesterday in the Internet cafe on an open WiFi / your maybe infected hardware / whatever weak PW you may use etc. Just one example: If somebody infected your PC with some malware, even using a PW-Manager will not help, because for example they can log every key you press, including your user name and PW, make a screen copy every few seconds and send it to a remote server etc. If I were to build my EN access into a fortress, I would use a device know for low risk of attack like any iOS device, enter my account, change the PW into a strong one created on my PW manager on this device, get 2FA up and running, and be done. Which is what I have done, someday in the past ...and what you can do as well (maybe minus the iOS device).

On my iPad Pro I have had some problems before ver 8.20 got released. This solved the „text in search field“ freeze. Now I am on 8.21, everything still o.k. Maybe you should really uninstall the app, then make a complete restart of your iPad (don’t know how to on a pro without a home button, so maybe look up how to do it if you don’t know it either) to really clean out memory, and then do a reinstall of the EN app. It may need some Sync time afterwards until it has everything rearranged (depending on how much offline stuff you have), but then it should work. Regarding presentations: One way could be to download things into an offline notebook, and make the presentation in flight mode. This means you get your slides from the local memory, and there will be no messages popping up while you are making your point.

With PDFs there is the possibility that a pdf already contains its own OCR data. Up to my knowledge these PDFs will not be OCRed again by the server process, they just take the OCR from the pdf to build the search index. The search index then is device-specific and local. In my case I am using a Windows and a Mac client as desktop solutions. If the index of say the Windows client got broken, this will not influence search on the Mac, and if I then rebuild the search index on the Win-PC, it will as well only create a new local index used only when searching on the PC. Only when on the web client, search is done on the server data.

It is especially useful when you clean up your notes. You can both find tags seldom used (some may be important though, others are just near copies of other tags), as you can find notes that have escaped tagging. For me, tagging is important, so I have to keep my tags in line. To see how clusters of notes are related creates a much better feeling for all the information in my Evernote data.
