Hi everyone. We’ve released numerous updates to Evernote 3.5 for Windows since this post. Please make sure that you have the latest version of Evernote 3.5 installed on your computer. Many of the comments in this thread have been addressed.

Also moved back to 3.1 since the 3.5 became so unstable that it was practicly useless. Both on Vista and Win7.

Just moved back to 3.1. Someone let me know when 3.5 works like they say it does.

Using Evernote 3.5. Am I the only one experience slow response times, even freezing to the point it’s unusable for the moment? When I want to use or find a note, I don’t want to wait 30-60 seconds to have it displayed.

I am having a problem with the notes “disappearing” on me and the right pane going gray. A restart doesn’t help. I had to switch over to the website to edit my notes. I only have aboutr 100 notes at this time so it shouldn’t be a memory problem. It is very strange — this is the first time I have had that problem.

I just want to start with, I’m using this for more than 2 year and it’s made my life (personal and professional) much much easier.
Just updated to 3.5 and am very disappointed. Besides the fact that it looks older in design as 3.1.
-where is the timeline
-why did you guys change the PrintScreen tool
-why cant I view items in vertical scrolling band
-…

Evernote is the best thing that happened to me but this time I really need to say it took a wrong turn. Is this a tease or something??? I know you need to keep things simple but c’mon.

I (and my fellow followers) went back to 3.1

Saved Searches appear to be quite slow. Despite already having a couple thousand Notes loaded, I still want to continue to add more. Excitement about the product is wavering a bit.

I prefer 3.5 in terms of general look. Great work!
However, I’m missing few fonctions badly…

- Full screen note edit. (Which is so neat on small netbook like mine.)

- The clipping “Win + A” would open a small window with 4 buttons in 3.1 : tag, garbage, e-mail and “1 note added”. Most were unecessery, but I’d rather have that “tag” still, which was very easy to quickly “sort out” your new note.

- A quick “tag” button in the main window would also be useful I think, just like it used to be in 3.1.

- Would be really nice to link notes together like wikiwords would do. (Or use brakets [ ]).

- Having the possiblity to put an anchor, which bring you to the specific location in a note.

What do you guys think?
Thanks!

Won’t install on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Edition. Stalls at the Install Evernote window saying Please wait while Evernote is installed. The Status bar stays black, CPU consumption in Task Manager is at zero. This is for 3.5.0.1258 (70948). Version 3.1.0.1225 works fine.

Version 3.1 is better, more stable. I recommend sticking v3.1 for now. I really like Evernote, but I have found many bugs with 3.5. If I format a note one way, go to another note, then return to the original note, it gets messed up sometimes: the first line has extra line breaks, indented paragraphs have extra line breaks and added spaces. This is disconcerting — notes changing by themselves. There are also some bugs with tagging notes, and bugs with sorting columns in the note list.

I have mixed feeling about the interface — sure, it is cleaner, but not enough to overcome the many operational issues: the screen capture tool doesn’t allow copying to the clipboard, the assignment of tags is not nearly as easy as in 3.1, and 3.5 seems *much* slower.

By: P.

I personally don’t like the new interface. I can hardly navigate it and it’s awfully slow (I mean, opening the fonts selector takes like 8 seconds.. on a dual core E8400 with 4 gigs of RAM ?). But while you could get used to it, the new fonts on windows (7) are unreadable. It’s like a junior programmer suddenly heard about ClearType and decided to reinvent it without a clue. After ten minutes my eyes could not take any more and I went back to 3.1.

windows 7 sleep bug here too

By: Teddy Huff

Just using it for a few minutes I can definitely tell you that it is a graphical refresh that looks great. But I can also say that I found these problems:

You once again changed the indent rules: it went from Tab/shift tab -> ctrl+m/ctrl+shift+m -> ctrl+]/ctril+[ which is an unnecessary change.

Indentations actually are broken right now because when you try to decrease more than one step, it forgets what line you were on.

These two things have made the beta unusable for my purposes and I will be reinstalling 3.1. God I still love this software though.

+1 for the black screen on x32 Vista Business (Hungarian).

+1 for the Windows 7 sleep bug. Didn’t see this with Vista and Evernote 3.1.

+1 for the black screen bug when returning from sleep mode on Windows 7. Instead of killing the process, however, I can get it to work by right clicking on the icon in the taskbar (it is on the left side of the taskbar) and selecting “Evernote”. Evernote then responds as normal.

+1 For the black screen bug on sleep on my x64 Windows 7. Would be nice with better formatting options.

Has a LARGE memory footprint… I want to switch to evernote, but onenote uses so much less memory!

By: Dave Yuhas

Dave Yuhas — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 05:52:03 +0000

I wonder…did Evernote management ask Windows users what they want in an upgraded version?

By: Dave Yuhas

Linking notes is probably not going to happen. I read somewhere else that’s due to cross-platform compatibility issues. Shame. Workaround is to use a text string to link notes.

I am hoping that you get through the beta phase soon. I use 3.1 with my work and don’t want to play with beta’s. Great Product

Have reverted to 3.1 – using 3.5 views on a netbook screen (WSVGA) just doesn’t seem to work well, where 3.1 is fine. Also had the same strange menu font issues as other users (win 7).
