Looking for a simple notepad that updates and is easy to use, like Evernote used to be.

Just need something that works with Android and has an app for Windows. Tried a few but not as good as Legacy Evernote.

Still able to use Legacy on Windows, but not on Android. 

Something that I can use on both platforms that updates and is easy to use.

Any recommendations?

Was able to get this to work, thanks

every time I open my note, the keyboard covers 3/4 of it.

Then I have to manually remove the keyboard.

Do you use Google keyboard

In the good old days, I'd open a note, and read it

Now the keyboard automatically covers 75% of the note, so I first have to remove it to read the note. 

That's progress.

I use Microsoft Swiftkey.

Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks

in the old days, (do you remember the good old days ahh.. they were so nice) you could make a shortcut and go directly to a note from the homescreen.

Now I have to click 3 or 4 times to get to my note, which makes it unusable.

Anyone know how to get around this and get my shortcut back to a note?

Thanks

Thanks, please let me know if you have any problems with this download

.

Thanks for the link.

Is there any security risk, installing this not from the app store?

I get a warning on my phone saying it can be hacked and personal information taken - is this something to be concerned about?

How can I stop the annoying tip of the Day messages IN android Legacy?

I have turned off all notifications but they keep coming

Thanks

What alternatives are there?

I really don't want to leave Evernote, its always been good, and as long as I can use legacy Android & Windows, I'll try to stay with them.

I am only able to stay with Evernote by using legacy Android and Windows versions.

The new Android app is so slow, I can go away and make a cup of tea before it starts, but when it does start, it is so badly designed, I wish I hadn't opened it.

What was the goal of the new app 'Hey, we've got a great app here, everyone likes it. Lets see if we can ruin it'.

The Android update is not an update it is a suicide note. 

For some reason, if I delete then reinstall Evernote, the legacy version is installed, then is updated.

So if you do this, then disable automatic app updates, you can keep the legacy version - which actually works.

Is there any way to get back to the old version of the app?

The new version is badly designed and just terrible.

There is a big blue EDIT box at the bottom. Why?

If I want to edit I just press where I want to edit.

HOW can they take a great app, that works perfectly, and destroy it?

I install Evernote, then put a shortcut to my note on the hone screen - just as I've done for years.

Then 24hs later, the shortcut stops working, the app will not let me put a shortcut to the note on the Android home screen.

So I uninstall and sure enough 24 hs later it happens again. So I reinstall again and again it breaks.

Anyone know how to fix this

Thanks

Here is the broken shortcut and the menu without shortcut.

Thank you

If Legacy goes then I go with it!

I'm using Windows 10

thanks

can you also tell me how to access my note history. i can't find it anywhere.

The instructions say to click on the 3 dots and go to history, but there is none there. 

I have a Premium account but cannot find it anywhere.

tahnk you

I want to view my history but every time I try to log in, it asks me for my Google email address to verify my password.

I don't have a Google email address, thus cannot log in!

This is crazy.

Why should I have a Google email address?

Can anyone let me know how to get into the website to view my notes?

Thanks

This update is a suicide note.

The update is still very badly designed, I'm sticking with legacy until they fix it.

Simple Note caused a lot of problems when I used it last year, it was very bad at updating and always crashing.

I really was happy to be with Evernote, far more reliable.

I'm hoping Evernote 10 will be fixed.

How do you turn off spellcheck? 

Yeah, what do we do, reset the darn thing every time we open the software?

I hope they fix this, as for me, I'm sticking with the old version 

For Windows? Where is it?

Thanks

I was responding specifically to calling out one of the Evernote staff for a "soulless" response, getting into the weeds about how to use other alternative apps (not so much in this thread, but in others), and the attempts to bring legal action or instigate a mass migration away from Evernote. I don't think the *Evernote* forums are a place for doing these things.

 

Agreed

True

Talking about a class action lawsuit is insane, and wrong.

There is nothing aggressive or wrong about talking about leaving or discussing alternatives. 
I have not seen any demonization, or any uncivil language, certainly not on this page. 

Most people here are polite, helpful and genuine. 

Talking about a leaving is not a 'strategy' it is a genuine conversation.

They have made good suggestions, and I have seen no personal attacks. 
If someone has used has behaved badly, they are certainly the exception. I have not seen this.

There is nothing wrong with honest discussion, and it should be encouraged, not called 'negative'.
