Another person disappointed with Evernote not supporting Tiger. If I need an online note-taker, Zoho is good enough for me. I literally can’t upgrade to a Leopard because I would lose compatibility with the Adobe Creative Suite program I have right now – it close to, if not higher than, $400 to upgrade it! Add that with the Leopard program? With tax, it would take me at least $500 to get Evernote working! I am extremely disappointed. I just signed up an account for nothing – I was going to cancel my account to show my disapproval, but I couldn’t find how you do that. I will never use this program unless there is an offline software since I am already so used to Zoho.

This looked extremely promising until I downloaded the program and was unable to run it.

I never even considered that it wouldn’t run on Tiger! Stating that Leopard has been out “for some time” does not mean that there are not many of us who will not be upgrading.

Off to find another program…

I too am a Tiger user and can’t run Evernote at work. My boss won’t upgrade the computer, so maybe you guys should consider an equivalant for evernote that does work on Tiger. Right now a lot of people are left out!

I liked Evernote on my desktop PC, tried to install it on my laptop mac….. then found out it doesn’t run! Disappointed ! >:-(

I’m really disapointed at evernote for not supporting Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. We dont want the fancy thumbnail, we just need to sync the files with out android, iphones, pcs and TIGER computers.
I was about to get a premium account but since the support section says that you wont allow tiger users to use your service, then I’ll have to search for another service.

People who pay money on this service just need 100% uptime and sync, not the fancy tools on top.

I thought I was on to something as a way of dealing with a problem. Evernote seemed like the sollution. Oh wait, I have to update my production macs to a new OS to be able to use the software. I cannot update my production computers at this point without disabling some other more expensive software. Why would you not be able to use Evernote with Tiger?
Ali

Aaaaagh. WHY does this not work with Tiger – crazy!!!!!!!!

I too am frustrated that it will not work with Tiger.
Same as others I do not need a new mac, but love evernote.

Please make it downward compatible for tiger.
