I create outlines for depositions on my desktop using the auto numbering feature. It is very useful.

Then, I get to my deposition and I must either have an uneditable outline with numbers/rankings, or lose all formatting in order to make notes on my notes.

@Julie You can try uninstalling the app completely on the iPad and downloading a fresh copy from the App store. This usually works. If not please contact our support team at http://www.evernote.com/about/contact/support/ – they can help you troubleshoot further.

Hi
I upgraded to evernote 4.0.4 during the week on my ipad 1. Since then I cannot open it. The app ‘loads’ for about 2 seconds and then shuts down. I’ve re-synced with my macbook to ensure the upgrade was finalised.
I have rebooted my ipad. But it hasn’t seemed to have helped.
All my other apps seem fine.

Any ideas gratefully received.

I have really loved evernote for a year. Really, and that is why I want to congratulate you guys for such a nice piece of ecosystem and idea.

Then I upgraded to premium, since it was worth it for me.

After a year and more than 2500 notes, I feel EN is getting way too slow for me in many ways:
+ the application takes longer to boot. Ok, partially solved in the last mac release, but searching notes is still so slow and seems to take so much memory that now I prefer to search my notes on the web to avoid the extra burden.
+ the iPad/iPhone release lacks many features (proper sharing, RTF, creating notebooks from the app, etc.), and is slow when searching through my notes…
+ the website takes so long to load my notes that chrome suggests killing the page several times

Plus, the iPhone app keeps having a buggy behaviour:
+ I’m reading a note taken a year, and I need to see notes around that one. When I go back to the general view (landscape mode), it consistently sends me to the most recent one. It’s so annoying having to go back again to search the note I was reading and then keep on looking surrounding notes. Why won’t it go back to the place where the note I was reading is?
+ When syncing offline notebooks, sometimes I see one that is too large that when I deactivate it, the iphone app crashes. I have noticed I can only do it right if the syncing has not started yet… it’s really annoying…

These things are making me feel reluctant to use EN when I need to “snap” my life with a photo, a recording, or even worse, a simple text note. Instead, I am starting to use it *only* when I have enough time to organize the stuff I’m uploading (scans, photos, notes, etc.). And everything else has to be stored in another pool from which I’ll eventually pull everything out to push it into evernote. That feels exactly opposite to what I’d love to do with it. Why using other apps when EN should be enough?

I want to encourage you guys to keep with the good work (the last increase in max # of allowed notes was really cool…), and if I am allowed, I would strongly suggest that EN focused in a speed improvement when doing ANYTHING with evernote (booting/searching any of the mac app, iphone/ipad app or web), and maybe afterwards include RTF formatting, since it is still to me a cute feature that I won’t bother to use if it keeps on getting slower as it grows with my notes.

Thank you guys, and please, consider these suggestions.

* one more thing… it doesn’t help much when a support guy suggests me to remove the iphone app and then reinstall it again because my iphone app feels so buggy… It takes so long to sync for me with >2600 notes

I’d love to see Rich Text editing too…

Yes, I think this will be a wonderful intermediate step to full RTF support. I believe most people want to be able to take structured / hierarchical notes and have them sync-ed between their desktops and their mobile devices.

That, for me, will be deal clincher!

Having said that, this is still a great app! Keep up the good work.

Evernote on iPad recently updated to iOs 4.2 crashes on openning … tries to load for a few seconds and then closes during the few seconds “loading”

Whats the best way to solve this problems ?
