From what I messed with you still couldn’t move the sort of your notebooks. Very frustrating and so simple, I don’t understand.
Still using Evernote since version 1 and I haven’t seen any app that does better article parsing. Plus, they have regional pricing so Evernote comes out real cheap in my country. Competing apps are priced higher.
Quiet happy with the new direction they are making and the updates to users on their roadmap. Hopefully they can restore that feature for power users.

I have gone back to Apple notes. I had a look, it told me I first started using it in 2008!.
Although I am not using it I have a fondness for Evernote and hope it does well. p.s… it needs end to end encryption.

Is anybody else facing a problem with conflicting notes. It’s kinda happening all the time since the upgrade, every time I edit a note on iOS/iPadOS.
I must’ve rolled the lucky dice right with this Evernote update, I’ve experienced ZERO of the problems others here and the r/Evernote sub on Reddit have reported. Not saying this to brag, but actually adding my voice to the discussion: this rollout of the new software seems to be very unstable for many users.

I was a big EV user for a long time. But the failure of the iOS app to preview PDF files in a note just frustrates me. Especially after nearly 2 years of redesign and improvements and not thinking to add such a basic function. Apple Notes can do it and that’s where my allegiance now lies.

Full disclosure I’m a die hard Evernote junkie. I’m super excited about the under the hood changes, but less so about the UI. iOS seems fine, but on the mac Beta I’m not sold. It’s cleaner and easier to navigate, however, they put UI before function. I’ll get used to it eventually.
I think it is possible to like Evernote as a service and dislike the app. I have been using Evernote for close to 10 years and during that time better apps have come and gone, but nothing has matched the cross/platform functionality of evernote. I have never quite liked the app at any time, but despite all the friction, the reliability of the service has been unmatched. I have always been able to get the job done.

I found this interview insightful. I am optimistic on the next 12 months of Evernote. My current subscription expires April 2021.
Note: I sideloaded this interview on Castro so have not seen the visuals.
macOS and Windows versions went up.
No AppleScript on it.
But please be aware that there are a handful of features—such as AppleScript, import folders, and the ability to edit note creation dates—that are not yet available. If your workflow depends on these features, you can continue to use our legacy apps. Be sure to read our release notes, viewable both in the app store listings and in the app itself, for a summary of what’s new and what is coming soon in each release, or check out our Help & Learning articles for Windows and Macfor an up-to-date list.

I just logged on to Evernote on the iPhone for the first time in years and boy, what a mess! I dislike the default Home and just want to see my list of notes and in order to customise Home, I need to subscribe!
The only good thing about Evernote is the web clipper. They really mess up the makeover, haven’t they?

What did I just read - 50 notes max and 1 notebook for free users? The Evernote guy is blowing more holes in an already sinking ship.

The free tier has become basically a “try before you buy” option. I do not exactly like it --although I’m a paying EN user-- but there is some logic to it. A free user with unlimited storage does not generate any revenue other than free marketing, and these Bending Spoons are all about maximising profit. But they may have skimmed too much, because even Notion apparently has a more generous free tier.
We’ll see how that impacts on the product.

I kind of chuckle when I hear free users bemoaning the new changes.
“I’ve put my entire life into this app for 12 years, and now I have to redo everything and move to another service”.
Yeah – or you could – ya know – pay for it?
It’s one thing if people deem the prices to be too high (they are kind of crazy), but to expect them to continue providing updates and full functionality – enough to “run your life” – without any cost to the user is a bit ridiculous.
It may sound harsh, but I would have done this 10 years ago.

You may be correct. When Phil Libin was CEO of Evernote he once said, “the easiest way to get 1 million people paying is to get 1 billion people using”.
In 2011 he said: “In the old days you would spend a huge sum of money getting one million users – a sales and marketing team, a Super Bowl ad,” he said. “But with the freemium model you spend that money building a product and giving it to people, and you end up with the same number of paying users.”
And that "Apple’s iOS platform provides the most total revenue for Evernote, as well as the most revenue per developer hour and the largest number of new users per developer hour. . . . In other words, the iPad is the most profitable platform out there . . . "

EN was flying high in those days.

Doped on venture capital, I guess.
“ With just three weeks’ worth of cash at hand, Libin came to the grim realization that Evernote as a company would not survive. With little money and fewer prospects, Libin agonized about how he would break the news to his team and employees.
It was around that time that Libin received an email from a Swedish user who loved Evernote. The user, whose identity remains a secret to this day, told Libin that Evernote had made him happier and more productive. However, the Swedish user didn’t want to just tell Libin how much they loved the app—they wanted to invest. Libin admitted that the company was in need of funding, at which point the mysterious Swedish Evernote evangelist offered to front the company $500,000.
Evernote was saved.”

It’s only at this late hour that we begin to understand why it was called “Evernote” and not “Evernotes.”
