I've searched for this but cannot find anyone else talking about it, so starting a new thread.
My annoyance was created in early 2014 when Evernote changed the functionality of their checkboxes. I submitted a support ticket in March of 2014, was told it would be passed on to the development team, but obviously nothing in 18 months.
Essentially, when I began using Evernote the iOS and Mac versions worked the same in regards to bullets / numbering / check boxes. All three acted the same as far as formatting, in regards to selecting multiple lines, pressing the bullet / number / check box icon, and the result being a bullet / number / check box at the beginning of each line.
Since January 2014 checkboxes were altered. They no longer act as bullets and numbers do, but only in the web / iOS versions. If you select multiple lines of text, then press the check box icon, the text is DELETED and replaced by a single check box. This does not occur in the Mac Desktop App however.
The second connected issue is if I have multiple lines of text in my clipboard, start a new LIST note, place the cursor at the first checkbox and press paste, only the first checkbox remains, and the rest of the lines are left without checkboxes. So, on iOS and in the web app, there is NO way to take a list of items and convert it into a checklist. I can't reformat existing text into a list and I can't paste text to create a list. The only option I have is to go to my desktop and format my list there.
This is INCREDIBLY annoying. I have clients message me lists of issues that I can't format in the field. Hell, I can't take a grocery list my wife texts me and make an Evernote check list in the store.
Personally, I'm looking very hard at iOS 9's updated Notes app. If that is the case, with all of the other new features (markups, images, etc) I may end up closing my account. PLEASE someone address this! It seems simple and probably often overlooked, but this was one of my FAVORITE features of Evernote when I began using it. The ease of taking bits of information from messages, emails and such and turning them into checklists to complete was HUGE for me! HELP!
