Thanks for these updates. I've been using Evernote since 2010, and your recent updates to the app have been improvements, making it easier and faster to use, so thank you.

I never thought there’d be a day in my life where I’d be so excited for software updates that I’d even go on YouTube to follow the monthly recaps! <3

A special "Performance Team" to make Evernote 10x faster?! YES!!! 🤩😎

[RobertFollis]

Fantastic to see Evernote back, responsive and moving forward THANKS

[chatwithmd]

A performance team - a GREAT call! Loving the Evernote progress in the last year, as well as the monthly updates. Thank you!

I love Evernote and has been a paying customer for almost a decade now. Thank you for the updates, it's so great to see things improving in a tangible way.

There are, obviously some things to work on with the Calendar sync (like the specific problem of old deleted Google (sub)calendars from any synced account showing up in Evernote's list of calendars is still an issue), but finally being able to fully use G-calendars in Evernote is truly great! Thank you, it's been an incredibly useful and long-awaited addition.

My biggest issue currently is that ever since a couple updates back, Evernote Android keeps crashing on Android 10 (Samsung phone) when opening any previously saved note with an attached file (be it an image, audio clip, or any other file/ just a long note with text), making Evernote currently pretty much unusable for me on mobile as a personal wiki/my own life-database, when all I can do is creating a short new note. But I've reported this issue to the team, and hopefully, there's a fix coming up soon.

Thank you for the customizable sidebar!! Now I can see only those I use

[DanielBrasilia]

Your guys' communication is outstanding and I'll definitely be taking some items out from my sidebar. Thanks for all the interaction! Looking forward to performance improvements.

Listened to the podcast, LOVE the customizable sidebar--very happy with the way things have been going and the direction things are headed!

[MichaelCahill]

Would love to see an update that brings back single-line spacing; it is ESSENTIAL for visually and structurally formatting text. TIA for taking care of this!

[kipbot]

So glad I came back to Evernote. As you say, we don't all use it the same way, and not every one of your updates changed my experience, but many did. I appreciate the responsiveness and sharing of information. Keep on keeping on!

[smatlanta]

I'm just a casual Evernote user (as opposed to a "power user" type person), yet... even I am loving all of your continuous improvements and upgrades. You're a great team. I also love your monthly "What's New" videos. Otherwise I would never even know what a great job you're doing! LOL

[Philipp_Ravelo]

Thank you very much for the customizable sidebar!
Finally, I can remove all unnecessary items except for notes.

[efstratiosgallopoulos]

Thank you for the updates. I have been an Evernote user since 2010-11 and it is very nice to see the great improvements announced over the last year (including the image transcribe feature), which seem to have brought up Evernote from what appeared like a slumber. Also great to hear about the performance team. Keep up the good work!

[utopiadaniele]

Bravo Federico, ottimo lavoro!

Very happy, being a paying user since many years, to see things moving in the right direction, with a vision to improve users' experience. Thank you guys!

[peterbrinch]

As a journalist who is almost constantly travelling, I would really appreciate a greater focus on the development of the mobile app and especially the iPad app. Craft, Apple Notes, Bear, etc. etc. work almost magically on mobile devices, but Evernote seems like a second-hand product on mobile devices 😢

[PenNBrush]

Amazing, thank you for the update. Especially excited about the performance and its dedicated team!

[Desperatechanging]

I just wanted to say, I've been using EN for over 10 years as a paid user. I really do appreciate the almost daily updates and improvements. Thank you for communicating all the changes and listening to us.

[GeoffreyVanBeylen]

I love these monthly video's showing a real progress but more importantly a real commit in improving the app, which was very much needed after years of neglect.
I don't use calendar nor tasks features 'at all' as I have other dedicated powerful apps [Things, Fantastical...] for this since many years. So the option to remove them from the sidebar altogether and ability to better customise the layout is such a big usability improvement.
Looking forward to those performance improvements as well 😃😃

[SimonPrinsACT]

I like all the updates you are doing !
