The UK has some serious data protection regulations which prevent any 'personal data' being stored electronically without suitable and sensible safeguards, and most specifically objects to data being moved outside the UK - with some very precise exceptions. What you do with your own data though, is (AFAIK) up to you. 'Vanilla' Evernote wouldn't be suitable for any institution or charity to record such data about individuals, although it's perfectly acceptable to use the app for products, technical information and the like. Personal data could be encrypted with Saferoom or something similar (get professional advice before you design your complete system around encryption!) but that then makes it unsearchable which is kind've the point of getting your customer base into a searchable context like this one. Better to use Evernote as an information distribution center on any relevant topics, but keep your CRM running on your own local system. The point here being that 'local' regulations around the world are more important to users than any general business or IT principles related to security. There's a whole industry out there of catastrophe insurers who'll insure the business you against losses from hacking or data loss, but things start to get really expensive if you annoy the data protection authorities - I don't think you can insure against their monetary penalties, and that ain't all they can do to you if you get it really wrong... However Evernote is never the bad guy in the UK - if I keep things in my database that get me in trouble, that's my lookout!

Like I said before - it's always possible to 'add' something to a business card note by creating a new note and merging the two together (IME with Windows/ Android). The information won't be laid out as nicely or consistently as before, but it's still all there. You'd have to do some experimentation because I don't know for what combinations of Evernote for Scannable / Mobile / Desktop and the various OS's that would be true or workable, but there would be work-arounds. Us Androids are still waiting for Scannable at all (hint) so there's still development going on, and I'm sure the Devs will take this on board as a feature request. Meantime there's only whatever work-arounds you can find. If a consistent and stylish layout is required, you could try inserting scanned card data manually into tables, or using Templates such as those from Transpose EDIT: (Later thought) You should get the option to save the scanned details to your Contacts, and of course there you can add whatever additional information you wish...

Hi. I can understand your frustration, but due respect - once it starts to be annoying, just stop banging your head! Quite a few of us (I think) use Workflowy for outlines and lists because it does that really well, is available from any browser and can be copied and pasted into Evernote if/ when required. Evernote is improving its editor software, but it still has a ways to go to get something that will work in any support OS on every supported device. I'm grateful for the stuff it does well - for everything else there's workarounds...

Sorry - imprecise answer; I was speaking for the Windows/ Android faction, not iOS.

If you're encrypting text with the standard Evernote feature, I've had no trouble editing content when the text is visible.

I found an 'autocue' app for my Android - something that would scroll variable size text at variable speeds up the screen. It doesn't interface with Evernote, but it would be pretty easy to copy/ paste content from a note into the app to 'play' any text I wanted. (It's also good for video recording when you have to say something complicated, while looking at the camera/ screen.) I'd imagine there's more out there for other OS's...

If you're running a version of Ubuntu, Fedora or Linux you might be interested in these links on Evernote clones http://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/files/NixNote2%20-%20Beta%202/ http://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-software-that-allow-me-to-use-Evernote-on-Linux http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-interesting-third-party-evernote-clients-linux-mac/

Hi. That's not a task Evernote would be good for at present. It's not good at number-and-letter hierarchies, just bullets and numbers - and it's only just getting better at them. There are lots of good outliner packages out there, and if you create your outline in one of them and save the output file, you could attach it to an Evernote note so it can be opened everywhere you have the software to do so. This seems like a 'nice to have' but I'd rather Evernote expanded existing features and fixed all known bugs before adding more complexity to the package.

@DTLow - It appears I may have been mistaken back then. Still not exactly sure how this works, but apparently notes have a UID which the 'new' note links interpret as a web address if you don't have a local database handy, or a link to the actual note, if you do - and that database happens to be the account to which the note belongs, or you have permission to view/ edit it. Basically it shouldn't matter which version of the link you get - but it must matter which app you're initiating it from, because Evernote apps can open the correct version of the linked note, whereas other apps tend to go for either the web address every time, or the local file. I agree it would be much easier if 'copy note link' gave you a sub-choice of a link to a local database or one to the web. Seems to be the usual thing of EN trying to be 'smart' and save you a keypress - and generating reams of confused explanations like this one...

I agree. I have regular meetings at various intervals, and annual events like insurance renewals and birthdays, all of which live in a third-party app at present, because Evernote doesn't believe they exist. Click the vote button above if you agree!

Hi. I don't quite see the incentive for Evernote to develop a new feature in competition with an established market of quite expensive software, only to build the option in at no extra cost to one of their existing products...

Hmmn. There's actually no way to 'comment' a text note - other than by adding new lines at the top or the bottom. It's possible to save some comments in a Word or PDF document and add a commentary using the features built in to the individual apps or to Evernote (for PDFs and pictures only). Or I can imagine that you could create a 'master' note with headings like 'my plan to take over the world...' and some further commentary plus a link to the actual note containing the Master Plan. Don't see why Evernote would spend time trying to annotate a standard note though - how many extra paying users would they attract from this feature?

Hi. Short of taking a new picture of the original, or displaying the note on one monitor and taking a new picture of the screen on a mobile, I can't think of a way to re-process an existing picture. It would be a good feature to have though..

...and if you take the splitting notes up route and generate a lot of smaller notes, just use the Table of Contents feature to create a ToC of all the sub-notes, which you can copy and paste back into the original 'master' note or use as the basis to create one.

Step back to the old version (via settings) and you can merge if you wish...

Hi. To avoid problems (with no disrespect to resellers in general) I'd suggest you renew your existing account via the account settings in Evernote. Try this link to extend an existing subscription - https://www.evernote.com/Checkout.action Depending on your payment method, you may be able to set your subscription to auto renew monthly or yearly from the 'Account Summary' page. There's more about purchasing, managing, or canceling your Evernote subscription here https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208314118 Hope that helps..

What Cal said. Similar non-freezing experience / no long text notes / the odd 300-page PDF (but I don't annotate those) / but in my case no SSD.

Evernote haven't said anything one way or another (and normally don't). Maybe its a matter of conflicting priorities - expanding on @David_Low's point, the former head of tech support at Evernote has said - about something else -

I don't believe there are any 'benefits' to having a locked Evernote when the rest of the device is open to other users. Any locked app still exists as files on the hard drive, and if a user has access to other apps and to the internet, then the means would exist to access the data. Provided you keep your Evernote user name and password secret and File > Exit the app between uses, no-one else can easily access the content. You could take it one step further and use something like Saferoom to encrypt your data. I prefer to use a personal login to access Windows, and leave my family members to have their own access to their own profiles, which they can develop as they wish. That at least means I don't have to log back into Evernote whenever I want to clip a web page. Still - it's up to Evernote to research whether this option would be generally attractive to customers and (maybe) include it in a future version.

Hi. Try going to Evernote > Settings > Search & Storage on your Droid - it's possible to clear local search history and clear Evernote's cache memory, which may help your situation...

Hi. The 27MB will be the app and an index of all your notes, which is all that is stored on any mobile device. Unless you have specified one or more notebooks as 'offline searchable', any notes on the device are stored in temporary memory, and will be deleted when any other app needs that space. 27MB is big, but not huge - I have dozens of apps that are significantly larger. The main concern here is that with increasing storage space being available on memory cards, it should be possible to keep an entire account database on the mobile device, even if - as mine - the database runs into 20GB or so. I have a 64GB SD card, so that should be no problem - but so far the notes database has to be part of the app, and the app is forced to occupy device storage, not an external card. I think this is an Android problem, not an Evernote issue.

Don't think there's a 'trick' to getting around this - you may be able to find a way to delete blank entries in a bulleted list using Word's Replace function, or it may have to be done manually. Either way once you have done it you could attach the word file with the cleaned-up list to the same note, and make any further changes to that file.
