The notice that the legacy app is being killed just went out. My favorite legacy feature is the ability to start a note from the notification bar (see attached): Is there a way to do this in the latest version? I am definitely not interested in the corresponding home screen widget action. That would be too hard to find with all of my home screens and all of my widgets. I also don't want to minimize my apps first. I need to be able to create a note fast - no matter where I'm at on my phone. That's why the notification bar was perfect for that. I will have to leave Evernote if this feature is not implemented or if there isn't an option that is at least as fast as this: Swipe down notification bar Tap add note Home Screen widget (for comparison) Minimize current app Find the home screen where the Evernote widget lives by swiping to the specific home screen containing it Find the widget in the grid Tap widget I just don't need the extra steps to do something so simple. I'll probably forget half my notes while I try to find the widget if I have to do it this way. That makes Evernote a really bad tool for capturing ideas.

I appreciate you pointing me in that direction for a solution, but unfortunately a quick note widget would be too many steps for me. I'd likely more often forget whatever I was trying to save while trying to find the widget. The best part about doing it from the notification bar is that you can do it from pretty much anywhere on your phone. With a widget, you have to hit home and then go to the right home screen where the widget lives. Sure, I could put the widget on my first home screen - but that real estate is being used for other things. In the end I downgraded the app to version 8.13.3 by finding it online and installing from the downloaded apk. If you do this then make sure to turn off auto-updates for Evernote in the Play Store.

I recently upgraded my phone and am devastated to learn there is no quick note from the notification bar. Please remember that it's these unique features that make your app stand out.
