  1. Thanks for validating. The frustrating part about this is that the old widget screen still exists. I can access through settings, but it is also three clicks to get there. Now I have task and calendar buttons that I never use, I use tasks in notes, not in a master list, and I don't use calendar. This release is advertised as reducing clicks, but for me it is adding 2-3 clicks to my most common use cases. 

    Keep the old home as an option or allow made the buttons at the bottom of the new home changeable.

  2. Love the speed of the new iOS mobile app I had forced on me today, but the UI is a huge step backward. 

    I have a tag for important notes. With the previous "widgets" home on iOS those important notes were on screen. Now it is three clicks to get to those notes, notes-shortcuts-<tag>.

    Bizarrely, the original widgets home is accessible if I go to settings-widgets, but no way to return to this as the home screen,

    Love the responsiveness of the new app, but to move my important notes from being on the home screen to buried in three clicks is too far.

    Give me the option to keep the original widgets home that I can access in settings-widgets and I am good,

  3. Had been greatly looking forward to the new Evernote for iOS. The lags in creating and opening notes in the previous architecture were a serious flaw and was thrilled that this new architecture was planned to speed up the entire work flow.

    BUT, unpleasantly surprised at how much functionality has disappeared in this new version. Have not done a complete review, but immediately noticed:

    • share function to clip pages and content no longer captures title and no longer offers the option tag
    • share function takes 5x or more longer to sync the now much less useful clip to cloud than previous version, for at least one note it hasn't worked at all
    • press and hold menu on iPhone no longer supports new note, new photo functionality
    • the URL associated with a note is now buried in menu, note info, very inconvenient
    • no path to cancel creating a new note, only option is to create the blank note and then delete 

    Always shake my head that software developers seem to never understand that for users our highest priority is keeping the current functionality working well. New features are great, but not at the expense of consistent performance from the features we have integrated into our workflows.
