Oy, Pink Elephant, people are just expressing their frustrations. I, too, have depended on the autocorrect. The removal of this function is glaring. MS Word and GoogleDocs both offer it. I understand why it would drive some people crazy, but Evernote should continue to offer it with a straightforward way to toggle it off and on, depending on users' needs. And those of us who used the program to make rapid notes - like I do when I conduct teacher observations - really do need it. Otherwise, we need to go back to the document and meticulously correct each word w/the red squiggly line. It makes the program close to useless for those of us with this need. It should not be that difficult for the company to bring back functionality that is the norm elsewhere - and which is built into the Mac OS .
I think what triggered some forum members here is intimating it's a "blessing" in general when that is not the case for all. I think that's what seemed sarcastic. Just saying.
Anyway, here is my question - I keep getting the notice re a revised version of Legacy Evernote. I don't want to install the update until I'm sure it hasn't dropped autocorrect and put me back to square one...
Just to add, Evernote's reputation has been deteriorating because of its lack of response to users' needs. I have been a paid "premium" user for years but would jump ship if there were a suitable alternative that would allow me to migrate years of notes. I know that the company has been bought out. I hope that this brings an improvement.
I've written directly to Evernote support, BTW, but have not received any answers to my questions.
