I switched to the new version a week or so ago. I love the improved speed and am starting to get accustomed to the new interface, but am struggling with downloading the notebooks for iPad and iPhone. I have 19, notes, a dozen or stacks and several dozen notebooks. I am unsure when or if both devices will finish synchronizing. I posted earlier that my Inbox notebook was fully dowloaded and I was good to go Problem - I added one note to the notebook Days later I'm still waiting for the download to be updated.
Just to make it transparent: Where was the note added that does not download? On an iOS device, or on another client, like the Mac? I would suggest rethinking whether you need all 20K worth of notes available offline. Aside from the current download problem you are eating up a lot of storage on your idevice. Offline is only needed if you are away from wifi or cellular service.
Many of us manage small offline notebooks for use when we know we will be away from any service. Maybe not an option for you, but just a thought. I have in the past set large notebooks to be offline, but in all honesty, it really wasn't needed.
I often travel to regions without internet access. Previously, I could be confident that I'd have access to my notes. That's a pretty basic requirement in a note-taking app. This thread contains some useful suggestions for how to get around this broken functionality but I don't think well-designed apps demand users find 'workarounds' to access their data.
I've been an Evernote user, supporter and advocate for 12 years. Looking at this iOS release and the desktop Beta, I suspect that's about to change. Fair point. Not likely to happen right now, but in the past I've been stymied by being on a long flight and not having a synced copy of a note I need. It is all notebooks since EN iOS When I add content, and enter this notebook, I get a green bar right on top of the notes list.
Both is indicating that a download is outstanding or going on. After a while the green bar goes away, and is replaced in the settings list by a little symbol down arrow in a circle that indicates a full download. Sometimes it takes 10 or 15min, even for one or two notes. If there are a lot of notes in the notebook, there is no visible progress, because the notes added will be the last pixels of the green bar. This is not visible. To check I went to flight mode and probed some recent notes.
All content including attachments were there and could be opened while offline. I agree, no argument from me. The feature is not working now and it should. I was only suggesting that we may not all need everything offline, but we all have different needs. Glad it is working for you. It is not for me.
V10 is so bad, it's driven me into the forums - I am usually a contented user who just gets on with it. I have to agree with Gavin - I am now reluctantly looking at OneNote.
But I am not here to debug an alpha release. On IOS, I added a note to an offline notebook fully downloaded to my iPad I'm waiting for that one note to download for offline use. My use case are long train rides, There is WiFi on the train, but it depends on the outside mobile networks. It is fine in stretches, but can get weak in other parts speed falling to a crawl , or even be off without prior notice.
So I prefer to go to flight mode while the train is moving. In larger stations there is local WiFi, free of charge. I then switch back to mobile or WiFi and get a sync that would take several minutes on the train ride done in a few seconds. I think there are many use cases where it is simply unforseeable whether I will need stored content while the internet is bad or gone.
Maybe a case for a support ticket? I know, currently Support tickets have a rather long return time. Just as feedback: I have content added from all sort of sources, except my Windows client which I do not use much - all of it synced, all of it downloaded, no problem.
I'm not there yet. I was able to get two of three notebooks downloaded but still have no success with my largest, but only 8K, notebook. Good point. I travel by train infrequently but did notice that on a trip to the UK last year. Offline access for me is usually just when traveling, and that has been offline for a while You are correct.
The first six years I used EN I did exactly that: predicting which notebooks I would need when I lacked reliable and fast connectivity. From that moment forward, I never found myself needing a note that was not downloaded.
First question: Have you erase the app, confirming to delete everything, then switched off the device, waited a little, switched it on again and reinstalled the app. If you only update the installed app, it may not really clean out all old code, which can lead to continuing problems.
Usually this is not an issue, but with all releases below It's an interesting question but I wish EN suggested this on install, not after I am 24 hours in and still waiting for my notes to finish syncing for offline. Nevertheless, the sync is glacially slow and I am not traveling anywhere until Wednesday, so here goes. If you read the threads, even with I ran it notebooks at a time, worked but no guarantees. Download tends to stop once the app goes to sleep. That would assume that the whole database structure was changed not just the actual app itself.
That being said, a major announcement about this should have been par for the course if not it would show gross negligence on the part of the Evernote company. Evernote has communicated a lot about their plans. You can always say for you they did not communicate enough, but you can find their videos here, you can go to the blog etc. There were new features announced, and if for example there are new formatting options, you need to store the data that controls these features.
From what I understand, the new data structure is compatible to the old one. The full set of features will only be available with the new clients. This is a good transition strategy: Who is still on an old client looses nothing, those on the new clients win added functions. For me as a user the data structure may be of academic interest, it has no relevance at all for me using EN. It was never laid open to me, it is not part of any contract - I pay for working apps, a server that keeps my data and the ability to find my stuff when I need it.
Maybe they get things improved that it is not needed any longer in the future. My offline-marked notebooks are still loading after these two weeks or so. There are about short notes in those in total, maybe some 20 still downloading.
And, if I go to notebook settings and disable the offline sync for some notebook, it asks about removing the downloaded content, I say yes remove. Then it enables the offline setting automatically again.
So there you go, still waiting for the downloads to complete. Also, the offline notebook selection list is sorted reverse alphabetic, so apparently there haven't been application testing for that feature at all, that kind of bugs would have been detected in those for sure. I was finally able to get some of my notebooks to be offline-synced. The process involved killing Evernote several times, and toggling the offline folder settings several times, both the global settings and the notebook-specific.
Marking a new folder to offline still does not make the few small notes downloaded, so the underlying problem is still there. I am starting to convince myself that this is both an issue with iOS and with Evernote server capacity.
A year or so ago, I had an issue that required uninstalling Evernote on the iPad, reinstalling and then downloading.
I had expressed concern to EN support that a download would take a while, some 75 GB of data. Support told me it would happen within a few hours. I left the iPad on and the app in the foreground and let it rip. Last night I set out my iPad connected to power with EN in the foreground. It ran for about 12 hours. From this, I am concluding two things.
EN servers are so overwhelmed right now that they cannot sustain the traffic necessary to provide quick downloads. I don't see the issue as server capacity We have full offline data on Windows and Macs It does require download time, hours, not days.
We have full offline data on Windows and Macs It does require download time, hours, not days. That is a good point. It is powered up on the local network. I'm guessing 1. I've been 'waiting' since Evernote Decided today on Evernote I was actually able to watch the progress bar as my "wallet" notebook downloaded with notes in it.
I have a hunch the problem is definitely with iOS and its handling of applications. Offline notebooks don't download as fast as they once did, whatever the hypothesizing. I try to download the offline notebooks since the update to EN Out of more than 15, notes, maybe 3, notes at most are downloaded. And that in over 2 weeks!
I have 3 notebooks set for offline. So far no luck. Sometimes when I go and check it will show download selected notebooks checked but not show the list of notebooks. If I wait on the screen to see if the list populates the app will crash. Definitely some more work needed in this area.
Despite the fact that I did a lot with EN today, the download status of the offline notebooks is exactly the same as 24 hours ago. There is NO download at all! When it got stuck, it is stuck.
