I complained about this behavior way back when 10 was first being beta'd. Still hate it. It makes no sense, and adds more clicks to my workflow.

I've been having this problem consistently for several weeks. Often rebooting the app fixes it, but not in the last two days. And I use links a LOT, so this is a serious problem for my workflow. I've been trying to finish my dissertation, and just haven't had time to complain about it yet...

Good to know. I just came to report this. I'm in my last two weeks of intense dissertation work with a hard deadline to graduate, and so have been using Freedom to shut down all internet access. Only to find out that doing such renders a lot of my Evernote dissertation files inaccessible, because they haven't downloaded. This is central, key functionality!!!

After one attempt to do it manually— a search for all files (including hidden files) with Evernote in the name— which didn't work, I downloaded AppCleaner, ran that to clean out Evernote entirely, rebooted, reinstalled, and it was fine.

Well, that did it. I shouldn't have to download a third-party app to fix an Evernote problem, but at least it's back to functionality.

I updated to the latest (10.67.2-mac-ddl-public (20231122160420) Editor: v176.32.0 Service: v1.80.1), running on a 2021 MBP with plenty of RAM and SSD available, on the latest Sonoma build. The update resulted in typing delayed by 1-2 seconds, slowness changing to different notes, and slowness in basically everything. I've tried it in new notes and old notes. I've rebooted the app, my computer, and uninstalled/reinstalled. It also appears that you can't directly file a Customer Support report anymore? So... what's my option here? This is unworkable and I use Evernote for my dissertation. It's death by a thousand cuts, but I'll save those for another post.

Is there a way to tell it what 8 posts to prioritize? I have a couple major summary notes that link to hundreds of other notes, and those would be the most useful to train it on.

Yes, I've had this issue. I image documents (10k+ at least) directly into Evernote from my archival research, and sometimes realize that it's simply not catching everything. When that happens, I actually type the word in between images to make sure it gets caught the next time. Seems like there aren't many other options.

Any comments on this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36609641&fbclid=IwAR3YRlw36bgKlSR3oV9wKNkaIcC0o8eMWBX2-DWS4TkNYph9uOsp0nHBIrQ ? As I'm using Evernote to OCR and search/organize tens of thousands of pages of historical documents for my dissertation, I'm somewhat concerned about Evernote's long-term viability. I've been a paid user— my wife too, also wrote her diss using Evernote— for years. This concern comes on top of my distaste for New Evernote, which killed the tabs (I used extensively), limited fonts, made stupid screen-wasting decisions, and uses Electron.

Well. Ok. Sigh. Thanks.

Evernote 10.31.6 on OSX Monterey I'm in Card view. If I click on a note from a Card, then cardview (the panel of cards between the sidebar and the note pane) remains. But if I click on a note in my Shortcut list from the sidebar, the cardview disappears entirely, and there's no way to browse them. Is this a bug, or is it intended to function this way? Regardless, this is just another thing preventing me from moving to v. 10. I'm firmly on Legacy, but open v.10 every so often to see if it's become less awful to the point of usability for me. It's not there yet, and especially so if this is a design feature.

So, something that's clearer to me now. I'm used to working with multiple Notes simultaneously, and with Tabs gone, the only way to do that is in multiple windows. Double-clicking opens the Note in the main window (replacing whatever is there) before cloning it into a new window, thus giving two windows with the same note, instead of opening the new thing I need *along with* the old thing I needed to keep using. I need a way to open notes (whether new or pre-existing) without making the main Note window pointless. 1. Doesn't seem to work on Mac. However, you're right that there's a keyboard shortcut for it, which is great. Prefer keyboard shortcuts.

I'm running both Evernote Legacy and occasionally I close it and open the current version (running 10.21) just to check it out, try using it. There are several issues caused by the removal of tabs. 1) No way to open a new note in a new window (i.e. right-clicking or something) 2) Similarly, no way to open an existing note from the shortcuts or navigation area in a new window 3) No way to see the title of the current note if scrolled down at all. (Seriously, there is so much wasted space at the top of the notes. I get the name of my Notebook, and that's it. Display the note title and move the Tags up there too already. People who don't use Tags simply won't see any. ) 4) When more than one note is open (i.e. one note in the main app window and a second note in a second window), copying the internal note app link (whether by shortcut or through the menu) often copies the wrong link. I’ve tried this a dozen times, clicking very distinctly on the window/note I want to link-copy. 5) CMD-J, regardless of what window one is working in, the active window, can only change the note in the main program window, not floating windows.

I have an m1 iPad 11", and an iPhone 12, both running the latest versions of iOS and Evernote. Both set to download everything. Here I am at home, with both cellular and wifi connection... and I can't access a single note (apparently, this time, because of DNS issues?) WHY WHY WHY if I have downloaded everything for offline access... is my access to downloaded notes dependent on a connection, or on Evernote's servers? That's not offline access at all! Again, not talking sync. Talking about just access. I've had this so issue so many times in the last few months, and it's infuriating. I selected "download all notebooks" because I need all my stuff available OFFLINE. So fix your terminology to quit misleading people into thinking "download" means you're actually downloading for offline access, and you can expect to see them. When it says "download all notebooks" it doesn't mean it AT ALL.

I'm a Premium subscriber. Updated Evernote on iOS this morning (iPhone 12 Pro with latest non-beta iOS build), and started looking at some notes. They ALL say "VIEW ONLY" at the bottom of the note. WHY?!!!!!

I use Evernote for my archival and other research, and some of my notes can be quite long. I've tried embedding some tasks into the middle of notes. It would be extremely useful when clicking on a task from the sidebar, if it would open the note to the location of the task within the note, instead of just opening the note to the top.

I don't know which device created the alternate/duplicate note. 20 words difference suggests I added an entry somewhere in the note, but then, why didn't it just update instead of forking off as a new note? I have the latest Evernote on an iPhone 12 Plus (iOS 14.5), an 11" 2021 iPad Pro (iOS 14.5), and I run the Legacy Evernote on my 2019 16" MBP (most recent build of Catalina, not Big Sur)

I attended an academic conference recently; there was abundant wifi. Somehow, though, Evernote duplicated and pushed out to all my devices a copy of my master dissertation research note. It's 50k+ words. Moreover, Evernote did not label it as a conflict, but the detailed info shows a difference of 20 words or so. And then, it kept showing the green circular arrow "syncing" icon on multiple notes for HOURS, including overnight. These were small notes, and I was connected to the internet the entire time. I'm frustrated that I can't easily compare these two massive notes. I'm frustrated at the apparent syncing issues. And I'm frustrated at how these are undermining my trust in Evernote's reliability as an academic tool. Been a paying customer for years...

Notion also won't OCR, which is a big problem for me. I do my archival work by taking pictures in Evernote, which then automatically get OCR'd and searchable.

Title says it all. If anyone using an iPad Pro or iPhone with a lidar scanner, have you noticed any improvement in speed or focus when scanning documents?

Problem is, that's kind of impossible. Some things some customers depend upon (tabs, ability to choose fonts) were removed because other users either don't use them, or "need" features like cross-platform identical notes, which led to removal of ability to choose fonts. Making some customers very happy leads to making other customers very unhappy, because we want different things that (apparently) can't be accommodated.

I understand that Evernote thinks it's super important to limit the fonts, because apparently everyone is syncing and sharing notes with all kinds of other people, and cross-platform unity has been requested. Fine. But isn't there a way to allow that to be the default behavior, but also build in a secret power-user setting to allow people to, you know, pick their own fonts? This is a major issue for me, so much so that after years of paying for Evernote, today I downloaded some alternatives to play around with (Keep It looks like it works with my workflow)

There is more to font utility than merely displaying characters "correctly."

I left similar feedback during the beta as well. Long time paying customer. Have convinced other people to use Evernote. It is UNCONSCIONABLE to say "we're not going to let users choose their own fonts. Because everyone is sharing notes with weird fonts, and that's a problem." No. Absolutely, NO. I've been using the current release and the legacy together. Yeah, current release has some nice things. But I will continue using the legacy as long as I can (or until I find an alternate app that fits my work), because I HATE THE FONTS YOU HAVE IMPOSED ON ME! And I don't share notes with anyone but my wife! Why force this on people? Was it really such the dominant use case that you HAD to IMPOSE it on everyone? I'm a historian, with training in the ANE. Among other things, I have some notes in non-Roman fonts in multiple languages. This messes with that a good bit. Just really REALLY angry about this today.

Watched the recent YouTube video interview. The CEO says "we are not implementing tabs at this point... it was not a heavily utilized feature." Which is a crime, on two aspects. First, Tabs are integral and critical to my usage, because I will have open archival documents simultaneously with my notes and research outlines. But more importantly, second, I didn't know Evernote did tabs until maybe 1-2 years ago. And my brother (finishing a joint MBA/MHA and a big Evernote user) and I were chatting, I complained about the removal of tabs, and he said, "Evernote has tabs?!" Clearly, the company has not done a good job telling users this was available, which probably accounts for its low usage.
