ckohl226 4 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Very disappointed after reading the great press on 8.0 and then downloading it. It is SLOW! It takes seconds to open a note, and then the content doesn't show, just the header. A few seconds later, perhaps 10 seconds, the content pops up. Scrolling up and down the notes screen is extremely jerky. Most of the time it is frozen. It is SO slow I mistakenly deleted notes, and then they weren't in trash!!! I had to boot my laptop offline to recover them there. Prior to the upgrade, I had offline notebooks turned on. Went in and looked, and for some reason they were turned off by the upgrade. Turned on offline notebooks (again) and there is no way to see the progress of the download. Syncing of added notes does not happen immediately as it did pre-upgrade. I am very disappointed at all the fanfare around this upgrade which has now rendered one device nearly useless. Any advice is very welcome. Link to comment

Is the data indicator spinning like crazy at the top of your iPhone/iPad? If so, leave it alone for a bit. It is doing something in the background and that will cause it to operate slowly.It should pick up quite a bit when it isn't doing whatever it is doing. Link to comment
mcgoro 2 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yes, delete and reinstall fixed it. Link to comment
bonedog73 9 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Seems to be working better after removing the app, restarting iphone, reinstalling evernote app Link to comment
mprogram 19 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I have the same problem. Offline notes makes the app sluggish. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Link to comment
ckohl226 4 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I finally got through it. Uninstall. Restart Iphone. Re-install. Then select your offline notebooks that you want replicated locally (or confirm they are checked), set your auto-lock to NEVER, and then let your iphone sit on Wifi for a few hours and all offline notebooks will download. The less you use your phone during this the better. You will see that the notebooks are completed (the bar will complete under each) and then all will actually operate very quickly. Link to comment

There's also a switch in Settings > Evernote for Background App Refresh Keep Everything In Sync This is an example of a super important, super hidden feature. For the first time on iOS, Evernote is able to keep your account updated when the app isn’t active. So, whenever you open the app, your Personal notes are all right there. No more waiting. This feature is also important in the following frequently-occurring situations: Offline Notebooks for Premium users When you use Evernote on multiple platforms and devices Link to comment

No experience - I'm usually plugged in anyways It would be interesting to find out My guess is if you're downloading a lot of data, you don't want to be running on batteries If its just routine syncing operation, there shouldn't be too much impact Link to comment
Mark Jantzen 5 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Reinstalling the app on my iPad brought it back to life! My upgrade was painfully slow like others described. Link to comment
