Just for the record since Android is being discussed. I don't use it heavily (mostly lookup not much entry), and I don't much like the new Home interface, but I haven't seen any bugs or extreme delays. (10.9 on pixel 3a) I'm still sticking to 6.25.1 on my main Windows workhorse. Thrice burned, ten-times shy.

Right, nobody is claiming any new problems with the current release in particular. It's the entire re-engineered 10.x series that is broken. The reason for the rising frustration is that we have been willing to cut them some slack for a few weeks or even months while they work out kinks with new technology, preferably keeping the community informed. But now, 5 or more months after the release of 10.x, fundamental problems remain with absolutely no acknowledgement or plan for improvement on the part of the company. Hence the rising tide of disillusionment, and the widespread suggestion to return to the legacy version 6.25 until either the company makes a radical change to fix the breakage (not just adding more and more fluff), or one finds an alternative. The tradeoff, and specification for an acceptable alternative, will vary for different users.

I've been using Evernote for roughly 15 years, and while there have been changes that I liked and changes that I didn't, I've never seen anything like this pervasive collapse of functionality. Does anyone here know whether the Evernote team is even aware of these performance issues? If they are living in an alternate universe with tiny little test demo databases, they may be happily going on in adding cute fluffy kittens to their feature grid while the foundation rots under their feet.

Agreed. -
Hi @celia80302 For what it's worth, I have scansnap set to dump files into Evernote directly via the cloud (so no drag-drop needed), which has continued to work with legacy. (This scanner was originally Evernote Edition but a year or two ago when EN dropped it, Fujitsu issued a firmware replacement patch, so it now has been converted to a standard Fujitsu ScanSnap.) Now that I think if it, this workflow might depend on the scanner having Wifi capabilities, which mine does.

Thanks for the info @OrbWeaver. Presumably (and from brief look at its docs) Joplin does not have Evernote's ability to do fuzzy searching in images? For everything else it sounds perfect. And frankly markdown would be a relief after Evernote's stubborn inability, decade after decade, to allow me to reformat text to my needs.

10.6.9 just released on Mac. The release notes don't mention general performance problems, but it will be interesting to see if this improves anyway. On Windows (my main platform for Evernote) I'm not prepared to take the risk of returning to version 10 until I hear some consistent positive reports.

Please don't hide note list when opening a note from the sidebar

Not changed in 10.6.9 just released. -
On Windows, I just uninstalled 10.5.7 and replaced it with 6.25 from File Hippo (linked above). It's like having a 100 lb stone removed from my back! Starts up in less than a second (vs 20-30 seconds or frozen) I'm leaving the newer versions installed on Mac and Android for now, where I don't use EN that much.

15+ year user, 10+ year premium user Seriously considering abandoning ship. The performance (Windows and Mac) is unforgiveable. And it freezes too so that if it's unresponsive I can't tell whether to wait, or quit and restart. > authors are convincing you to use the older version. I would do this in a heartbeat, but are the databases compatible? I thought that once I'd upgraded and used it for a while, I was stuck?

In the latest versions, the note list vanishes when one opens a note directly from the sidebar. This is so inconsistent -- this does not happen when you click on a note in the notes list. And it makes it very awkward to compare a favorite note (from the sidebar) with a recent note (from the notes list). And the workflow is not at all intuitive / discoverable.

I agree, it seems to be the intended result. But it's so inconsistent -- this does not happen when you click on a note in the notes list. And it makes it very awkward to compare a favorite note (from the sidebar) with a recent note (from the notes list). And the workflow is not at all intuitive / discoverable. Thanks for pointing out the Requests forum.

Windows has "Check all" and "Uncheck all" commands, which I use regularly. Mac and Android do not. As a LOOONG time Evernote user, I find the inconsistency in commands between platforms to be very frustrating (to put it mildly and more politely than I actually feel).
