Parity between different OS's and the web is coming slowly...

No format painter yet - please click the button (top left) to increase the chances of getting one...

If you go to AndroidPit's home page and search from there.. http://www.tk8.com/ Try Evernote's own widgets - the list version I mentioned here jumps to note contents real quick..

@Highimscott Thanks for the explication, but I was responding to a specific request that did not include any reference to most of the points you raise. If you check around the forums you'll find plenty of collaboration threads where I and others have already said that Evernote isn't the best tool for real-time collaboration, and that's because it wasn't designed to be. Evernote is not suffering from 'a bug' it's a personal app which allows some content to be shared with others for (if selected) limited editing. Not allowing others to mess with the administration structure (ie tagging) seems like a reasonable protection for the personal user. Yes, others could alter or delete content - but that is recoverable from the Trash Notebook / Note History / personal backups / copies of shared notebooks. Yes different apps have different 'features' - a legacy problem which Evernote is addressing. And yes, Evernote have put up their prices. I must have missed the bit in business school where it says 'always offset price rises with better features'. Basic, Plus and Premium are products for individuals, with (after Basic) paid-for bandwidth that is subscribed by the user. Evernote Business is the corporate version, with more effective collaboration, security features and lots more. I agree with you that there are problems with tagging - hopefully there's a project somewhere looking into it. As you note, there are dozens of competitors out there and if I needed in-house real-time collaboration for my staff I'd be working up a must-have feature list to help identify the top 5 contenders. There are lots of successful swell-established players out there like Atlassian and the ones you mention. They're generally much more expensive than Evernote - even at its new price - but in collaboration, as in so much of life, you generally gets what you pays for.

Sadly adapting the user protections to suit your relatively unusual case would 1) annoy a substantial percentage of the other users of shared accounts and 2) generate around $50 annually in returns. There would seem to be a serious imbalance in the cost effectiveness of this feature...

@Rootman - Another 'work around' which I don't see Evernote being able to stop: you could always have a new basic account on your third computer and share notebooks from it to your current account, and vice-versa. All your devices would have access to all notebooks. But it's pointless worrying about what else Evernote will restrict - just deal with the current situation. Cross new bridges if and when they appear - you're never going to have any blanket guarantee that Evernote won't curtail features again...

Seems to me that most of those are 1) things that Evernote has no interest in doing and 2) more expensive than an EN subscription. If folks prefer not to pay for their 'important' services, and are willing to go to some lengths to keep their non-paying status, I really don't think Evernote will suffer in the long term from their going...

If you follow the other link in @DTLow's post, you get to where he explains that when you log onto Evernote with a new device, you now get an automatic choice if it's the 3rd one registered to your account - which of the other two would you like to remove to use this one? Evernote have already pointed this out as an option - it's not a hack, it's the way Evernote now works. If you're referring to the web page access issue, then again Evernote have said officially that the web service is not part of the 2-item limit. They could still change in the future, but for the moment it's a viable option.

Hi. I use Phrase Express on my Windows desktop for text expansion and inserting dates and times (separately) into notes in any format. PE had an Android version which I also used until my Android developed a bit too fast and left it behind. There's a new Beta version here which may help... http://www.phraseexpress.com/text-expander-android.htm

Mohiomap doesn't actually produce a mind-map layout. It's a different and highly visual way to present your notes, but a mind map it ain't. Note links from Evernote can be added to mind-map nodes so you can jump from one to the other, and mind-map layouts an be saved as JPGs (and in other formats depending on your source software) into a note; you can even save a mind-map in its source format into a note, and edit it from the note (assuming you have the software installed on your device) - just double-click the file name to open it. My MM of choice at the moment is FreePlane. Previous discussions on this include: https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/25608-request-mind-mapping/ https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/53060-mind-map-software-any-that-integrate-save-to-that-you-know-of/ https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/75790-use-mind-map-to-link-to-notes/

It's not a "2 devices limit" it's "more than 2 devices at the same time". Adding in new devices and switching between existing and new seems pretty easy...

Have a look at Evernote Batch. Various features including "Table of Contents - create a TOC for any bolded text in checked note(s). Links are created to that bolded text." http://www.onenotegem.com/evernote-batch.html

One of the basic requirements in database design is 'only enter things once' - because if the details in a copied page change, there are now two places to update it. The way to have a copy of the same note in two notebooks is to have a link to a single note instead. MediaWiki has a feature called 'transclusion' - putting some or all of the content of one document into the text of another. It's a great feature. Evernote doesn't do it.

Hi. You may want to find a different sharing option then - Evernote protects account owners' interests by not allowing third parties to mess with their data unless the owner has invited them to do so by editing/ adding content - strictly using the account owner's existing notebooks and tags. That's the way it works. It's not a bug, it's a designed-in protection.

I assumed it was the difference between the various image options in a mobile camera - 'picture' / 'document' / 'business card' - each of which is dealt with in a different way. In this case 'document' means cropping the image to page edges, adjusting the exposure for optimum OCR, and, well.. OCR..

There's a utility called EvernoteBatch - http://www.onenotegem.com/evernote-batch.html - which I believe will export tags and re-import them*. (Interestingly developed by a OneNote software engineer). Downsides: don't know if its functionality is what you need, and it's a paid-for app; no free versions or periods other than some test data. Edit: Amongst many other things!

Current Androids probably have the same features as iOS - PINS / passwords / gestures / fingerprints...

...and don't forget Mohiomap which is not exactly mind-mapping, but is a more visual view of your Evernote notes and their connections...

Hi. You're right that there's no way to compare note contents in Evernote, though conflicts shouldn't arise that often if you're the only contributor. Can you avoid them by being more careful about syncing both before and after you edit your note? If you check out the product feedback forum for your main (phone?) OS you might like to raise this again to see how many others would agree with you...

Hi. Why unlock the phone with a fingerprint and then unlock Evernote too? Isn't the one protection sufficient? Have you looked at pass code locking? (I appreciate that the link talks about iOS unlocking too - but why do it twice??)

Text files will convert directly to Evernote notes - try drag and drop / copy and paste to see what works.

So why can't you contact Support? How does your note get locked - what messages do you see, where and when do you see these double contents, and what tells you there's a lock on your account? Short of support this (user supported) forum is usually a good place to get assistance, but you need to give us some information so we can help you. If you didn't want the help, then sorry for the situation and goodbye.

I'd just like to wish this thread a happy 7th Birthday - it's been going almost as long as Evernote. Maybe once the company has its finances sorted out after the latest subscription increases readjustments, it will revisit whether developing a client for this OS would be cost effective...

Actually the two device limit might do a bit of good - it should cut down on the conflicting edits complaints when folks dive from one screen to another...
