I've been using v10 on mobile/web alongside Legacy on the desktop for a while (and I always had the v10 desktop as well), but I honestly just don't like the look of 10 and the cluttered dashboard so if I have to make a quick note on my phone I now use Apple Notes. It's true that mixing v10 and Legacy leads to glitches but I was mainly able to live with weird changes to bulleted lists etc. I'm a novelist and screenwriter and I use EN for keeping track of ideas, characters, plotting etc. Because I'm using it in a creative way, it's helpful for me if it doesn't change or do anything too distracting. I find the v10 font too jaunty compared with Legacy and I feel stupid that I can't seem to find a way to change the display (surely I should be able to choose the font I do so much of my daily work in - am I missing where I can do this?) It's also highly annoying that I can only get EN to learn spellings when there are spelling suggestions, but not when there aren't. Although this is an improvement on last time I tried it, when you couldn't teach it spelling at all. I basically feel like I bought a house that the previous owner can come and redecorate whenever they want, but I guess all tech is like this now. For me, v10 just has the feel of a website rather than a sturdy desktop app. Having said all that I tried One Note again today and... Ugh. So I guess I'll be trying to stay with EN somehow... Thanks for all the very useful advice 🙂

I love Legacy and use it every day. You can teach it new spellings, and I like the font and layout and how it works. I don't need my note-taking software to change, so I have been happy to stick with it for the last few years. Then a dialogue box appeared, warning me of bugs etc and asking me to download the latest version - it strongly implied this was an updated version of Legacy. Now my beloved Legacy is gone. The 'update' wipes Legacy and replaces it with the annoying version of Evernote with green checkboxes and a different font - which can't be changed. I really don't know what to do. In some ways I'm thinking I should figure out how to download Legacy again. But clearly it's on the way out. Can anyone recommend a simple note-taking app that does what Legacy did?

This is a link to Evernote Legacy - basically the old application. It's so useful! I can actually spell check and print my notes again. Thank you.
