I also have this issue and can confirm that it is infuriating. I've had discussions with support about it and they've basically said… it happens, and might get better (or be resolved) in the future. Not an enormous comfort. I created a forum account just to post this reply. I love Evernote on desktop, but the dream of using it as a fast, reliable note-taker on mobile has not been a reality for me for over two years because it always reloads when I swap in and out of other apps, which is very frequent in some of my heaviest usage of the app… such as when taking notes on an audiobook or podcast, just like the OP. My ugly workaround is to use a separate app (Byword) for any such note-taking, and then export to Evernote after completing the book/podcast/whatever. I've tried some third party evernote clients on iPhone with a living connection to the database, but they all suck. This is a pain, and means I can't trust Evernote to have everything in it anymore, which is what I always loved about it in the past. I've slowly gone from being an evangelistic user to being a frustrated user (which I've been for over a year now). It's incredible to me that an app which exists for taking notes fails at such a simple task on mobile as successfully keeping the user's note location in memory, so the user can switch into another app and then switch back without losing their position. (To clarify, if the cursor is active when you switch out, it will USUALLY recover thanks to a recent update, but still must reload and "find" that position again, which is slow and seems odd for even a simple text-only note to do this… and if you're reviewing a long existing evernote and don't have an active cursor, tough luck. You'll lose your position in the document every time.) This one incredibly annoying problem holds Evernote back from being my ultimate tool. PLEASE, Evernote. Pay attention to this problem.
