Am I the only one who finds the lack of comment/explanation from Evernote Engineering on this topic to be frustrating? This topic has been raised and documented repeatedly by many users, both during the Preview program and the Beta program. To the best of my knowledge Evernote Engineering has never provided any explanation or comment other than this statement:
Where did the sync button go?
Evernote has a completely new sync architecture and now syncs automatically across all of your devices.
We don't know whether this is a feature that will be implemented in the future or whether it has been deliberately dropped from the product plan. Given that the presence of a Sync button is a feature of the previous existing product and that multi-device synchronization is fundamentally critical to the Evernote concept, I find it amazing that the issue has been completely ignored.
It is also interesting to note that Evernote for IOS does contain an explicit "Sync" function.
We're listening, Evernote Engineering. Please talk to us!!! We either need an assurance that this feature will be added or we need a more fundamental explanation of how Sync is implemented so that we understand why a Sync button is either impossible or unnecessary. Until that happens, many in your user base will be frustrated.
