A lot of that is possible on the client side, especially now with the common code base. It would be nice to be able to create an encrypted notebook with limited client side only features (searching text etc). Sort of similar to the functionality we had with local notebooks.

I'm also another one who would be grateful if notes and notebooks could be encrypted.

I think Apple's new Advanced Data Protection is a worthy contender. It includes end-to-end encrypting all your Apple Notes among other things. They already had individual note encryption, but this is general to all notes.

Apple Notes has an import feature for Evernote, but of course it's not great. Evernote still has some unique awesome features that can't yet be imported (in my experience). Maybe use both.

You don’t seem to be able to change colors in the most recent version of iPadOS because the button is directly under the new multi screen menu feature.

I'm still getting three copies as well (version 10.16). I think it might have been fixed briefly in the past.

I'm having data loss too. Open a note on my iPad, add a photo, go back into the note and the photo is gone.

The green icon that indicates a notebook is shared doesn't always appear on iOS. It seems like if the notebook is only shared with two people that the green icon doesn't appear.

Or perhaps the issue is if the person you've shared with has changed their email address? (just a thought, doesn't seem likely)

Currently it gives the impression that a notebook is not being shared, when it actually is.

This is still a a problem for me. Hoping it can be fixed.

Sometimes when I search for something short, like "HP", the app becomes unresponsive and I need to relaunch it.

The insert date keyboard shortcut is great, but I can't seem to customize it to include the day of the week like we have in Evernote Legacy.

In Evernote Legacy I can take multiple screenshots and have them appear in the same quick note. With the current version Evernote creates a new note for every screenshot automatically. I then have to manually combine them.

I really find this feature useful when I'm on a conference call or watching a video and want to take a series of screenshots fast.

What happens to you when you try to use it? I was recommended by support to go to System Preferences, Security & Privacy, then the Privacy tab, then ensure that Evernote is allowed under the "Screen Recording" option. Unfortunately, I only have Evernote legacy listed in this area, not the new Evernote app.

Yep, it's allowed.

It's still not working for me in EN 10.5.7 on Mac 10.15.7.

These buttons in the helper aren't doing anything for me. When I click either of them the helper closes, but nothing happens.

The Capture screen button works though.

I take a screenshot (power and home button). Then in the preview I click the share icon and copy it. Then I click done and choose to just delete it. This way I avoid having a bunch of screenshots in my photos.

I then open Evernote and paste it in a note. 

When I take a screenshot on my iPad and paste it into a note, it creates three images. One note containing three images.

I think I'm having the same issue. When I disable making a notebook available offline a popup appears, I choose clear existing downloads, but the switch goes right back to enabled (green).

The biggest issue that I’ve run into with Keep It is that notes need to have unique titles. It’s a small thing, but pretty annoying.

About iCloud: what I really like is that it uses plain folders and files for its storage. So you can open your content outside the app if you want. No lock-in.

Evernote is also good in this regard because everyone supports importing ENEX files. I had some minor issues importing ENEX into Keep It (it doesn't seem to like notes with the same title and increments them). Do you have a solution for version history?

I've switched to Keep It, which has an import function for Evernote (preserving tags), so migrating doesn't take long.

I'm trialing it now with about 1200 notes. It's pretty impressive, I like how it uses iCloud and native sketching. Interesting to compare.

I've used EN since 2009 and thus have a long history with it. I recommended it to many people in all those years. I have had many thousands of notes in it, so I think I'm a heavy user.

I don't want to prove anything. I have no expertise in a lot of areas, but do have some knowledge in few ones, one of which is development. I'm developing since 1983 and have seen a lot of toolsets. I once also looked at Electron and walked away quickly from it. It's very tempting to use a cross-platform like this. It will save you a lot of time.

But if you want to create an app that is excellent and provides a good user experience then the only way to do this is going the native route.

At my work I *have* to use several Electron and/or web based apps. I hate it. It's embarrassing that I need a PC with 32GB to be able to work a bit comfortable, because:

• Teams uses between 800-1200 MB memory.
• Visual Code uses between 600-1000 MB memory (for editing a 2KB html file ....). Opening a 20MB XML file takes 1 minute to load.
• Power BI starts with 1GB memory and after an hour or so working it raises to 15GB-20GB (not a typo) to work with 200MB of data.
• Etc.

At home I use a Mac and can choose what I want, so that's only native. Opening a 20MB file takes 3 seconds to load in the native BBEdit.

Native apps also give you the native look-and-feel and are well integrated with the OS. If I work on a Mac I want apps that behave like a Mac app. Same on Windows.

You may see this as a lecture or see me as someone who wants to prove something. Whatever. I just think EN made a big mistake and I just don't want to use a note taking app that uses 1,2 GB of memory (after an hour or so when you have opened several notes).

I hope that EN is doing well and I hope that its users, those who stay with it, are very happy with it. But I'm out.

I’ve been using Evernote since 2008, but I don’t want to use a slow app anymore and I don’t see how this can get substantially better. When the Electron based Mac app comes out I think I’m going to be done (unfortunately I love the current Mac app). I’m seriously considering Apple Notes. Did you switch to something? I have 11,000 notes organized with tags and notebooks so moving is a big undertaking.

I haven't been getting duplicates in the Evernote app itself since 10.0.2, but I did get a duplicate using Penultimate today.

It's an edge case probably. I have notes with book titles and also notes with English grammar and short phrases. Sometimes I will put content in the body of these notes, but often I just put in a title and add some tags.

UPDATE: This seems to have been fixed the the latest update. Thanks!

I just tried sketching in the latest version on my iPad Pro. For some reason I was assuming that the sketching would be the same as before, but it’s so bad now. It’s really really bad.

I’m really concerned about the direction of this release too. It seems like the main focus is on cross platform development and making it exactly the same no matter what device you’re using. We’ve lost the performance and fidelity that past iOS apps have had. I actually kind of miss the app from 5 or 6 years ago. I certainly hope it all comes together though.

I have a lot of notes that only have titles. This causes a problem because the keyboard keeps popping up. I’ve enabled edit protection, but it’s being ignored by these notes.
