r/Evernote

Is there any way to use old versions while being able to log into my account?

(idk if the title makes sense, im not a native english speaker and also dislexic.)

So i've been using Evernote since 2012 but sometime in the past three years I made the mistake of updating my app (i think it was on version 6.7 or smth) and since then, and i dont know when it started, it began limiting my notes availability. I used to have way over 200 notes but once i updated i couldnt create a single new note because of this limit imposed from the new system? It used to be my fave note taking app ever but now it just became unusable. I still have my installation pckg file from the old version but when I try to log-in it just shows an error message that it cant connect to the server, im assuming older versions connection to the server have been cut? is there any known way to use an account in an older version or is it just not possible?

Tried to add a speaker to a transcript - and the whole transcript vanishes!

Thank GOD for the ability to RESTORE and copy notes! It saw fine for Speaker 1 and 2 and I could put their names in, but when I tried to insert a third name it had missed - no matter what I do, the whole transcript VANISHES! Like I said, I didn't lose my notes, but does anyone have a clue is this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

Anyone using Evernote for sharing Technical Documents / Whitepapers?

Hello everyone! I am testing Evernote for business use case.
So I am writing whitepapers, research documents, keynotes etc for my business, but I don't wanna share as traditional pdf document because I wanna be able to update & modify the living document whenever I want.

So I am testing with:

  1. Shared Evernote document
  2. Shared Google Doc

Both looks great to be honest but it is hard to decide. The document has mermaid diagrams and it looks great on Evernote as well as Google Doc.

I was wondering if anyone have any similar use case, I am currently seeking a feedback.

One thing I observerd: Images, especially diagrams looks very crisp and high quality on Evernote shared document if you look at on mobile, Google Docs for some reason lowers the quality if you look at a mobile browser, it looks great on Google Docs app though.

Can I use Evernote to write dark fiction? Risk of flagging or deletion?

I want to use Evernote to co-write fiction with a partner because I love the collaboration features and cloud sync. I know there are dedicated writing tools (Scrivener, etc.) but I dislike the interfaces and the lack of cloud storage.

Some of our stories fall into horror/thriller territory, think Stephen King vibes, dark historical fiction, grimdark fantasy. This includes scenes where child characters are harmed or killed (e.g., kids wandering into the woods and not surviving, war/conquest-era violence, etc.). To be clear: this is all fictional, literary content comparable to what you'd find in published novels or rated-R films.

My question: Will Evernote's automated moderation flag, restrict, or delete notes that contain this kind of written fiction? Has anyone here written dark/mature fiction on Evernote and run into issues?

I realize streaming platforms host equivalent content routinely, but I'm not sure how note-taking apps handle this, especially when it comes to violence involving minors in a fictional context.

Any firsthand experience or insight would be really appreciated. Thanks! 🙂

The new dates feature goes to where?

Hi I saw the video of the new dates feature when @ and then a date creates…..something?

The video shows these being created but it doesn’t actually show what the feature does. So if I create a date in a note what happens to it? Does it show up in calendar? Is it a reminder? What is the feature intended to do?

I tested it on mobile all it seemed to do was create an underline, clicking it did nothing so I’m rather puzzled what the feature is and what it is intended to do.

Ai assistant - could it decipher logs?

I like to work in a monthly file with dates in headings, keeps data together. I was wondering would ai assistant be able to understand that?

Ie say

Heading - 7th August
Ordered melatonin.

If I later asked assistant when did I last order melatonin? Would it be able to decipher from the heading the correct answer?

Getting assistant to do grammar check with inline approvals?

Hey I saw on the video that ai assistant can do editing of notes and I can then see those edits and approve them in the document. I’m trying to do this on iPad, is it available on iPad or is it desktop only? Because every time I ask it to do this it just produces a new version on the note in the ai chat window instead of making changes in the note for me to approve.
