E-NoteForum

Yep, this is on the iPad.

I cannot believe the design team made the 5-button shortcut bar push the entire screen over and take up the entire vertical column.Note content is now squeezed into less than half the width of the screen.This new layout feels absolutely terrible. Notes -- the primary content of the app -- feel crammed into the corner when browsing the note list. Note content should not be the same width as the note list, and overall take up less than 50% of horizontal screen space due to the space mostly wasted by the intrusive shortcut bar.Please roll back this design and let the screen breathe just a little. The current layout feels awful.

It hasn't been updated in a year. Submitting feedback through the app just gives you an error message. The Evernote support Twitter account hasn't replied to a status request about it. This forum is super low-traffic and hasn't had an Evernote employee reply in forever. Scannable sure feels like abandonware to me ...

In the latest Scannable app, on iOS 11.0.3, you cannot submit product feedback. If you go to Settings->Feedback->Submit Feedback, it just pops up an error message that says "Unable to submit feedback at this time." That's pretty bad.

It's ticket# 1836118.

My wife and I were affected by this bug in a shared notebook. I even opened a support ticket on it, but we haven't received such an email despite our account definitely being affected on the one note where I noticed it (though who knows how many others may have been affected). Are other users slipping through the cracks with these notifications as well?

What was the cause of this bug? It might help to know what made it happen, in terms of tracking down notes that were affected. I.e. if it was notes in certain types of notebooks, opened in the iOS client instead of the Mac one, etc ...

Yeah, the offline notes feature is basically a tire fire. Downloaded notes sometimes get silently deleted during regular app updates, and Evernote does a terrible job of downloading them even if you turn off the feature, clear your cache, and re-enable them. It doesn't seem to be able to do much of it in the background, so you just have to leave the app open for extended periods and hope that another future bug doesn't delete them all again without telling you.

This just happened to me as well. I'm a Premium user, but the note in question is shared by my wife from her account, so I don't have access to note history. Reported as bug 1836118.

Simplify formatting is back in the current beta build, meaning that it'll also be in the next public release (barring some catastrophic bug, of course).

1. The warning dialogue explicitly says note content can be visible: "The activity log also contains information about your account, your device, and your location information (if enabled). The titles of your notes, tags, notebooks, attached files, and, if your account was having network syncing errors, some of your note content, may also be contained in the activity log." So either the warning is wrong or you're mistaken about what is included. 2. Couldn't the name/title information be replaced with the note's unique indentifier number or something like that? A quick look at the log shows that notebooks already have an identifier that can be used in lieu of the notebook name. This is just a basic privacy thing; even if note content isn't visible, people probably don't want note titles like "Colonoscopy results" or "Racist things dad said at Thanksgiving" to be shared. I think it's completely reasonable for people to not want to share a huge list of note titles when reporting bugs, especially since asking for an activity log is an almost automatic response to reporting any bug with Evernote.

After seeing this post I put my iPhone into airplane mode and checked to see, and yep … my offline notes have also all disappeared. 'Download All Notes' was still checked in my options, and they were downloaded in previous versions. Very frustrating. Definitely something that should be in the test plan for future releases.

Please add the ability to select and copy text when in view mode. For an app that's all about storing information for later review, it makes no sense that you can't select and copy text from view mode. You can copy from edit mode, of course, but drag selection is pretty buggy and the keyboard takes up half the screen on iOS, so it's harder to select large blocks of text in edit mode. Plus, going into edit mode increases the chances that you'll accidentally mess up the content of the note itself (cutting instead of copying, or moving things around while fighting the sub-par bulk selection).

Agreed. The removal of 'Simplify Formatting' is another "two steps forward, one step back" frustration with the new iOS editor.

For some reason this thread is getting added at the very end of the forum. Hoping this bump will put it on the first page where new posts should go.
