I have not been on this board for quite a while -- basically since Evernote made the terrible decision to switch to using Electron instead of a native Mac app. I will NEVER switch to the EN Electron app. I wrote this to @gbarry in Nov 2020, and it continues to be true: @Ian Small, I am so, so, disappointed in, and upset with, you. When you took over as Evernote CEO, I thought great things were ahead. I could not have been more wrong. Goodbye, Evernote.

I just read this 12 days after it was posted, so maybe other comments might mitigate what I'm about to write. "Less than 2% of our users use tags." (quote from Ian Small, Evernote CEO) First, I find this extremely hard to believe (even though I heard Ian Small say those words myself), given that Evernote does NOT support a full hierarchical NB (a la folders) structures. I am astounded! Without NB hierarchy and without Tags, how do these 98% organize their Notes!?!?!? If it is true, I am sorry to say that it speaks very poorly about these 98% of EN Users. They either have very few Notes, or don't have the mental organizational talent to understand the benefit of, and need for Tags. Again, very surprising since Tags are today used all over the place, on web blogs, news articles, web apps, and, of course, desktop and mobile apps. I also wonder what population the "users" are taken from: ALL users, including the free account users, or paid account users? I don't know the numbers, but it would not surprise me if 98% of ALL Users are the Free account users. That might explain some of this.

I'm quite calm and chilled out. It is you who seems to be picking a fight by making your post. Stick to the topic. No one needs your advice and you're not a forum moderator.

Famous last words. LOL

It absolutely was disrespectful. You should know better than to use those type of phrases, regardless of the source or translation. The tone of your post comes across as excusing Evernote. In fact you literally are providing excuses for why we should not be concerned about posting an update that literally says "Evernote for iOS version 10.1 is now available", the key word being "NOW". This is NOT about placing blame, but holding them accountable for doing proper QA of both the app and their posts. Why waste users time checking for an update that is not there. Waiting another hour and verifying the update is really available is only common sense and shows respect for your customers time.

Auto sync between my iPhone 11 EN iOS 10.1 and EN Mac 7.14 is one thing that is doing very well. Takes about 15 sec max, sometimes only 2-3 sec.

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon. The test note I created in EN iOS 10.1 iPhone resulted in DUP Notes, with one of them being blank. Nothing has changed from the pre-Ian Evernote behavior of releasing updates with obvious bugs. Screenshot of Note List in 10.1 Showing Dup Notes The Dup that is Blank:

First of all, I am NOT your "young padwan". This remark is very disrespectful. Quit making excuses for Evernote. Please let them respond to my direct posts to them. IAC, Evernote should have waited until they could independently verify that the update was in the App Store. This is just common sense and good customer service.

OK, the 10.1 update is now available in the App Store. Good News! It fixes two critical bugs that were preventing me from using EN iOS: Now syncs properly from Notes created in EN Mac 7.14. A List Note created in EN iOS is now properly saved (previously it was often lost), and it syncs well with EN Mac. Kudos for fixing these bugs. However, Ver 10.0 should NOT have been released with these bugs, especially after 9 months of EN iOS Beta testing.

@AgnesP, since I could not edit my above post, here is a screenshot:

Actually it is NOT available. The App Store is still showing Ver 10.0.4. You guys should really double-check both the app and the app store before you publish things. Every time we learn what you say is incorrect reduces our trust in you, which is already low due to the many bugs in the initial release of Ver 10.

Roger that! Let's hope the nail will survive and respond appropriately. 😉

Shane and @Ian Small, I hope you guys and the entire Evernote Team are doing well. I have to say that I, and some of my colleagues, are getting very concerned about the health of Evernote. Your "Behind The Scenes" series started out really well, and we had been receiving an update about once a month. It has now been 3 months now since this last update, and nothing posted elsewhere. You guys have been in re-development nearly two years now, so I think it is fair to expect some results to start showing up. I know you don't like to share any type of projections, but I think your loyal fans and supporters deserve to hear from you now. Can you at least give us a status by platform? Which are in beta, and for how long? And it would be great if you could give us at least a preliminary target for the next release. We know full well that it won't be perfect, and may slip, but we need some indication from you. IMO, it is better to give us some target now, rather than continue keeping us in the dark.

Yes. Nothing, NOT one thing, that affects backup and restore has changed with Evernote. If you have any specific questions about the process, feel free to post them. FWIW, I prefer AppDelete to ensure that all files related to the app are removed. I've been using it for years without any problems. I have not checked AppCleaner recently, but when I decided to go with AppDelete, AppCleaner did NOT remove all of the files it should have. But don't rely on me or anyone else, do your own homework to ensure you get the best app for you.

Thanks for sharing. I haven't test your script, but it looks like a very clever script. 👍
