Legacy will stop working at some stage - better to get a jump on the change rather than be forced to  use an unfamiliar app to see your own notes...

never! they have taken the features i care about. if they force me, they will force me elsewhere, and certainly not where they want me to go. i have watched this organization make some horrible decisions. my opinion of them is less than zero. either they are not a group i want to work with any longer or the use cases for my company are better suited to another product. if they break a product that is presently working, that i am paying for, i know which answer it was.

I will NEVER move to the new version until custom fonts are brought back. I do not care if things look the same across platforms. I only care about Mac, Windows, & Linux; the last of which this company doesn't even do. If the old app is cut off I will simply take myself and all my employees elsewhere.

Hello everybody!
We are actively working to update more and more customers from Legacy to the latest version of Evernote. Many don't even know they are using an unsupported version, so we are making that more evident through in-app communication and by testing a new update popup on Windows.

As part of that plan, we also removed the H&L article with links to the Legacy versions. The links remain available through Support in case people need them to fix some issues.

The Legacy versions remain available, and the download links continue to work, but we decided to make the download links less accessible at this time.

Hope this clarifies!

I have been with Evernote since nearly day one. There have been more than a few things this company has done that I feel has been executed miserably. There are more than a few changes made to the product I believe is beyond stupid.

This never-ending popup message is a major piss-off. I will never ever upgrade to a supported version unless and until I am once again permitted to use fonts of my choosing. I care not about compatibility with my phone as any device without a keyboard renders the product useless for my purposes.

Either I will get the choice of fonts that I want or they will eventually make a breaking change that renders the legacy version unusable, at which time I will take myself and my employees elsewhere. This company has been monumentally stupid before, like when they tried to remove the "top list" view. They are capable again. 

wow! I just got top list back to learn the complete train wreck the new Evernote is. Since day one we have used our own fonts and have weighed whether or not to completely lambaste the company for their lack of support for a true style sheet, as in you define styles that are referenced many times. Style, as in Microsoft Word and Adobe FrameMaker. Not the paltry watered down html-editor garbage we've had to swallow since the rise of script kiddies. And this refuse goes completely the opposite way, stripping us of the inadequacy that existed (the Windows product was even worse) and replacing it with something completely useless. This is now like some open source Linux project written by a kid in college 10 years ago. I have stayed with Evernote for years because the alternatives are not much better than that open source Linux project written by some kid in college. Well in one swoop they leveled the playing field, only in the wrong direction. As much as I hate markdown, Joplin was just promoted to equal in ability. Wait, no. Joplin didn't change. No promotion.

Do these people understand their market, or the potential market?

What Evernote's success is, is they made the file system opaque, irrelevant. With the cloud back-end, where we save things is no longer a consideration. What folder was that in? Who cares! When we organize our sh-stuff we can organize by notebooks, categories, and tags. It's all in one place to search and view. We need go no further. This was Bill Gates' dream of the Cairo file system that never happened. What should sit on top is a flexible and robust tool with a full offering word processor. It should be the heaping, steaming pile of nothing that was just released for simple needs, all the way up to the power of Word or beyond. I mentioned FrameMaker not because people do super long documents with Evernote. I mention it because the value (or chaos) from the sum of all the documents you create with this tool demands consistency of a highly structured and robust tool like FrameMaker. This is a boat long missed, for sure.

i will believe it when the feature is actually back. someone (or group) inside evernote who i hope no longer works there removed top view years ago only to bring it back when the outcry was so large it could not be ignored. this could be a test to see how many people complain.
