With the new that Evernote is limiting free accounts and hiking prices, it's only natural that some people will be looking for alternatives. Apple's new and might just make for that alternative. But how to migrate all of those notes? It's easier than you think if you have a Mac running OS X 10.11.4 or higher.
How to move all Evernote data to Notes at once using a Mac You can migrate everything you have saved in Evernote to Notes via your Mac. You'll need to be running OS X 10.11.4 or higher and have installed. Open Evernote on your Mac. Sign in to your Evernote account.
Click on Edit in the Menu bar at the top left of your Mac's screen. Select Select All from the dropdown menu.
Select File in the Menu bar at the top left of your Mac's screen. Click on Export Notes from the dropdown menu. Name the file anything you want. Select where to save the file. I saved it to my desktop so it can be easily found. Click Save.
It will export as a.enex file. Open the Notes app on your Mac. Click on File in the Menu bar at the top left of your Mac's screen. Select Import Notes from the dropdown menu. Select the.enex file you saved from Evernote.
Click on Import. Click on Import Notes when the popup window appears. Your Evernote files will be saved in iCloud with the folder title 'Imported Notes.' How to export individual notes from Evernote to Notes on iPhone and iPad Currently, there is no way to migrate all of your Evernote files into the Notes app on the iPhone or iPad.
If you absolutely have no access to a Mac computer with Evernote and the Notes app, you can export full notes (not just links to notes) from the former to the latter, but it is a work around and takes a lot of repeating steps. Open Evernote on your iPhone or iPad. Select a Note. Tap the More icon in the upper right corner. It looks like three dots. Tap the Share icon.
Tap Export Note. This will open a Mail window inside Evernote with a.enex file attached. Enter your own email address.
Tap Send in the upper right corner of the mail window. Close Evernote. Open the Mail app. Select the email you just sent yourself from Evernote.
Long-press on the.enex file until the Apple extensions window appears. Tap Add to Notes. Tap Import Notes when the popup window appears. Close the Mail app. Open the Notes app.
Tap the new Imported Notes folder. It might be designated with a number if you already have one or more Imported Notes folders.
What download link? You did not send any link? What is the last version# that the old view was supported?
Please share the download link to that versions install? CC: If you can provide help it would be very help full. Hi, We typically recommend against reinstalling previous versions as they do not contain the latest stability fixes.
That being said, you can find the link to the previous public release (version 6.11.1) here: You would need to follow the steps in the article below to uninstall the current version of Evernote, then reinstall from the link provided in the thread above: I hope that helps. You would need to follow the steps in the article below to uninstall the current version of Evernote, then reinstall from the link provided in the thread above: I’ll add a warning about running the v6.11 app with the v6.12 database This can work sometimes, but I find it better to do a clean install Completely remove Evernote from your device; app, database. The app AppCleaner is recommended for this Reinstall the Evernote app and let the database be rebuilt from the servers. Warning: The rebuild does not include Local Notebooks or unsync’d notes. In order to see all my notebooks AKA folders, I now have to scroll up and down. This decreases efficiency in locating notebooks.
If Evernote is suppose to be about efficiency, then bring back the notebook view. Or at least give us the paying customer the choice. I also want to add that I find it poor customer service that when I write a complaint to Evernote that the complaint gets passed along to an 'expert'.
I appreciate this person's time, but I pay for a premium subscription and expect to be treated like a paying customer. Recently I updated my Evernote and noticed the Notebook / grid view was gone. I figured the LIST was now default, so I hopped over to the VIEW menu to change back to the view I’ve loved & used for years - the Notebooks in a grid (where at a glance you can see all of your notebooks & not have to scroll, and scroll, and scroll and uh, what notebook was that in again?). Couldn’t find a view option for that old view. Oh no, don’t tell me it’s gone! Yup, looks like it is. Feeling rather blindsided and discouraged by this (I know, get a life). But this change has reduced my efficiency enough that I may look around for an alternate product to help make my life easier, like Evernote with Notebook view used to.
This is my first post ever, so not sure if this is the right place, or is there a better place to suggest this “change back” to someone who has power to act? I have a MUCH better solution. Look at the features and install the version that matches your requirements Sorry- that's a cop-out solution and not very progressive. Evernote's management makes careless changes to the interface without any consideration for the user base and what's been established. Rather than improve and build on what's there, they are drastic in there changes and take away things that they previously gave to the user.
Never take away - that's the number one rule. However, that rule is constantly being broken.
Personally, I'm fed up with the disrespect. Recently I updated my Evernote and noticed the Notebook / grid view was gone. I figured the LIST was now default, so I hopped over to the VIEW menu to change back to the view I’ve loved & used for years - the Notebooks in a grid (where at a glance you can see all of your notebooks & not have to scroll, and scroll, and scroll and uh, what notebook was that in again?). Couldn’t find a view option for that old view. Oh no, don’t tell me it’s gone! Yup, looks like it is. Feeling rather blindsided and discouraged by this (I know, get a life).

This is my first post ever, so not sure if this is the right place, or is there a better place to suggest this “change back” to someone who has power to act? Yup - my reaction exactly.
Looked at Google Keep and found ZoHo Notebook. I recommend ZoHo if you are a visual thinker. Please bring back grid view, it was elegant, user friendly and intuitive! It is my favourite thing about Evernote and it is a design feature that sets you apart from similar applications. I am going to downgrade to the previous version but I really hope that you fix this in the next update and give users the option to view their material in a more logical and less cluttered way. If Evernote at its best is an extension of the brain then organising thoughts / files etc in a post - it like visual display (grid view) is essential.
Also the inability to roll back once the database is converted I'm able to roll back to previous versions It's important roll back all components; not just the app The app AppCleaner is recommended to do a clean install After reinstalling the app, the database will be rebuilt from the servers. Warning: the rebuild doesn't include Local Notebooks or unsync'd notes I WILL NOT be renewing and I have instructed my team to also conclude the subscription The notebook list is a minor element of the Evernote product/service. Evernote continues to meet my requirements regardless of the notebook grid/list calamity Did you 'instruct' your team to use an alternate product? Remember “new coke”!!! I remember sayings like, Cutting off your nose to spite your face and Throwing out the baby with the bath water.

I remember sayings like, Cutting off your nose to spite your face and Throwing out the baby with the bath water I agree. I wonder why Evernote is doing both of those things. Doesn't make sense. They should really think twice before making stupid decisions like the one they are making.and have made in past years. Just plain dumb on their part.
Migration Complete: After a fair amount of consideration, which factored feedback from speaking with Evernote Customer Support, comments posted in this forum, and the absence of feedback from Evernote in this forum, I completed the migration from Evernote (Premium) to MS OneNote. As a result of this, I have regained the Grid Notebook view as well as all other features I had in Evernote as well as several enhanced features. The OneNote Importer made the process turnkey. The migration did take approx. 45 minutes to convert my hundreds of notebooks. Also, I had to ensure that I was running the Mac version of Evernote from the Evernote site, versus the version from the Apple Store. (basically, I deleted the current app from my mac and downloaded and reinstalled the Mac version from Evernote's site).
It is really sad when a trusted vendor makes such draconian product changes apparently not factoring in the potential customer impact. The lack of fair warning of this change, the remarkable lack of feedback on the Vendor's forum all signal (to me) a shift in Customer Insight focus. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have been with Evernote for a very long time, but have just completed the migration away from the product and instructed my team to do so as well. I'll post any updates if I encountered issues with OneNote.
I've been on the new product now for a few days as well as completed a 'Basics' overview via Lynda.com. Here is a link to the migration tool and a table of OneNote versus Evernote Features: / Ed. There has been a feature request posted at the note linked below Why have to switch notes. Why not add vote here This is a help forum; there is no vote mechanism in this forum. Evernote set up this forum for users to get assistance with specific issues. For example; this discussion started when @fjimenez asked about restoring the notebook grid view Evernote set up feedback forums for users to provide feedback and post feature requests. There are voting buttons at the top of every discussion for users to indicate support.
Please stop commenting on every post! What posts are allowed.
Are there any rules I can look at Generally there are no rules and any post is accepted. Try to stay on topic with the discussion, and no profanity or ad hominem Note there are Help and Feedback forums. Feature requests and feedback are more appropriate for the Feedback forums. There's also a General Feature Requests forum for cross-platform features I'm more interested in posts that provide information, not the 'Boohoo? Evernote is so bad' posts.
Hey Amanda, me and the I suspect hundreds of others feel your pain. We’ve to date received no response from Evernote. I tried to go over to OneNote but there was some critical function misssing (I don’t recall, but I shared my experiences earlier). I landed on Zoho notebooks and have beeen delighted since. The one gap is lack of native windows support but the web interface works great. Note, I am a native Apple client. Good luck, I hope this saves you some time.
I cancelled my premium subscription. And instructed my team to do so as well.
