Hi all... Well, I have a personal account since... forever. Over 45 000 notes, on a Windows client (quite good) and a couple of Android clients (not very good). I am considering the switch to a pro account. Why? Bolean searches... My search results are ridiculously long and very often completely useless. I need bolean. But do they work well? Do they work fast?

It is a bit weird and I want to understand how come it works that way. I like before the beginning of the workday, to manage my previous day notes: move them to the appropriate notebook, title them in a better way, tag them. Soft work that I do on my Android client (Samsung S6 tablet). Changing a title is really fascinating. You type the new title, then you have to look at Evernote working on a pace that reminds 1993. The preivous title reappear, then slowly it changes, one character at a time, in slow motion. And if you dare change something else in the note while this very slow process occurs, you may end up with 5, 6 copies of the note, each one a step towards the final version. What is this? What is my client doing actually? Can I help the process because it looks painful!

Notes list - Full width
fredhammersmith replied to fredhammersmith's question in Evernote for Android Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
Yes, sorry, the specifics of my case: Galaxy S6, so not the latest, but not old. 5.1 inches, diagonal (almost 13 cm). From my pov, this is just a poor design choice. Nice to look at, not functional. The same way we can expand a note to fill the screen, we should be able to do the same for a note list. After all, tags lists and notebooks lists fill the screen. It is just the specific moment when we choose a notebook (or the notes panel) that we are stuck with a 3-panel view. -

Not what I prefer, and not very useful, because then you will see only 2 or 3 notes at the same time. A lot of scrolling. -
A tablet, Samsung S6. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s97/sh/3b16ced8-d94b-41c1-b655-9756573ba5ef/4i11am2mkj9gx5a688SOqAZN-fq7horRA1kkkvkKimk84hX0eCFrQFmaow As you can see, the three pane presentation make it very difficult to browse through a notebook and find a specific note. You just don't see enough of the notes' titles.

Annotation
fredhammersmith replied to fredhammersmith's topic in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
So even on iOS... Too bad, OneNote is not bad at all for this. And Samsung Notes is pretty great. Sometimes, it looks better not to offer a function than to offer a very bad one. -

OK. Somebody uses it? I mean, taking notes on the fly with a stylus is great, annotate maps and plans also. -
Is it me, or are the annotation and drawing tools pretty bad on Android? It crashes, the zoom-in feature is out-of-control. Trying to take notes on it is just a bad experience. So bad that I use Samsung Notes to write, than import the "image" in Evernote. Do you use it?

I just wanted to check if other people share the problems I have with my Android clients. Maybe I just need to reinstall Evernote. Or maybe Android Evernote is still buggy. The Windows client is so improved that I am always a little surprised (and bummed) when I go back to my Android devices. Please note I have 40 380 notes and 534 notebooks. My problems: - changing the sort order of a notebook will freeze the app... or it will take 2, 3 full minutes. - when I want to share something to Evernote, it won't work at all the 1st time. Evernote comes to the forefront, and that's it. I have to go back and share again, then it works. I use Chrome. - The same "note creation" may happen the next 5 or 6 times I open Evernote. Evernote just creates the same note over and over again. Generally speaking, the app is slow. I have a Samsung Note 20 and a Tab S6. Both behave the same way.

I was quite critical to Evernote's new releases (Windows, Android) for quite some time, but lately they really improved in a tremendous way. The new Android clipper seems to be working great. I mean: really great. Is it your experience as well?
