    Evernote for Android version 10.5 Release notes

    in Release Notes (Android)

    Posted

    I raised a ticket telling all bugs that prevent me from getting to working with EN10.5.1 on all of my Android 10 devices:

    - extreme slow performance (app starts 15-20 seconds, freezes, key presses with no reaction)

    - offline notebooks not downloaded, accessing EN10.5.1 offline results into crash

    - images in notes after short usage of the app not displayed no matter how often installed and deinstalled or logged on/off

    As a premium customer I think a functioning app is something one could expect, some functionality (e.g. offline use) we explicitly pay for. I asked for a roll back to EN 8.13.3. I think Evernote should offer a parallel legacy option in play store as with windows until this app gets somewhere closer to "ready". 

    Let's see ...

    I also raised a ticket b/o somewhat different bugs. There's no progress in support. IMHO de-installing the 10.5 v, re-installing the 8.3 v (see in this thread above) as well as turning off auto-update for software is the only way to work with Evernote in the near future.

    Urgent help for the community of Android Evernote Users - How to downgrade

    in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)

    I have two premium accounts and I downgraded using the apkmirror:  https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/evernote-corporation/evernote/evernote-8-13-3-release/ and it worked well.  I am now restored to full functionality.

    Evernote better fix this for the mass of users who may not be able to do this manually. 

    (sideloading apks is risky and users need to weigh the risk reward themselves.  APK mirror is generallly considered "safe" but use at your own risk.  For me, EV is mission critical and I needed to downgrade to be back in production and the reward outweighed the risk.  YMMV.)

    This is a great tip. By old version is  b a c k ! ! !

    In my case, I had to combine it with turning it off the automatic software update, as described by Coffee First Thing.

    Otherwise the new version overwrites the older one.

     

     

    Version 10.5 is an utter failure: you can't clip web content (You read right: the app for clipping web content has an update that doesn't manage to do so!)

    I'm now in week two of update purgatory. The help center and the dev team doesn't take it seriously.
     
    It seems to me that the development team underestimates that the app is a total failure. It is imperative that help center and members of the dev-team take this more seriously.
     
    De- and re-installing doesn't better the situation!
     
    The following problems occur with the new Evernote app 10.5 (1110172) 
    under Android 10.1.0.191 (C431E27R2P5), which is the last version of Android.
     
     
     
    1. It is impossible to clip web content from a range of different browsers and apps. After hitting SAVE in Evernote one of two results are reached: Either, the process of clipping is shown via the moving circle that clipping is under way, but there is no end to this and the app has to be closed. Or: the clipping ends with the message "Clip is saved"
     
    In neither case, the clip is saved, appears neither in the Android app nor other apps/websites of my account. Open and closing, de- and re-installing the app or changing browsers - nothing changes the result.
     
     I clipped an example content and sent the activity log. Silence from the dev team.
     
    2. It is impossible to connect keywords to existing notes with no keywords. Clicking on the keyword symbol neither shows the list of existing keywords nor allows for typing in a new one. Is there already a keyword connected to a note I've found a way to access the keyword file but I haven't checked this thoroughly enough in order to be able to confirm that there will be no error in the future. 
     
    De- and re-installing the app which you proposed didn't do the trick. The error persists.
     
    3. It's similar with switching notebooks or access them. The notebooks I created are sometimes listed (in the left frame), sometimes not. Accessing the notebook out of the notebook sometimes work, sometimes not. If I try to switch a note to another notebook, no list of notebooks is given, the search function doesn't work, and it is impossible to switch the notebook.
     
    4. Formatting notes is impossible if the note is displayed in a field titled "HTML content" which is sometimes the case.
    Image
     
    This frame is not shown when the same note is displayed in other apps/website of Evernote.
     
    Otherwise a note without this frame can be formatted but, compared to the old app, the process is complicated, tortuous, and very slow.
     
    Let me conclude: in my understanding there are extremely severe shortcomings and comprehensive bugs in the functionality of the app. It seems the app is rolled out prematurely and without the proper testing. The piecemeal approach you try with your recommendations won't work if the development team does not look at their own errors more thoroughly.
     
    I again urge you to let us access the previous app as a remedy!
