On Windows, when creating a new note with the keyboard shortcut, Evernote started to silently fail to save the note. Once I noticed, I checked its log, and saw that every time there was a database-related error. I reinstalled and that fixed it, but I had to stop using Evernote. I back up my notes, but that doesn't help when the program is silently failing to save them in the first place. I used Evernote for everything, and I will never know how much information I lost due to this bug. It was a data nightmare scenario. I also noticed one day that some of my notes that only had titles also had a body containing the same text. I backspaced through the superfluous body, and the note deleted itself. I reproduced this reliably. I think maybe those notes really only had bodies, but Evernote was duplicating the body text in the title textbox, or vice versa, tricking me into thinking it had both, so when I deleted the body, it considered the whole note empty. Luckily, I noticed what was happening before I could no longer remember which notes I had accidentally deleted. Other than the big bugs: Pasting without formatting never seems to work. Assigning a note to a notebook and tagging it is not keyboard-friendly, reducing efficiency dramatically. Filtering by notebook/tag takes way more clicks and screens than it needs to on mobile. Launching the app is incredibly slow, which means you can't use it for a quick look-up. The conflict rules seem overly simple, as I frequently get conflicts in a big note I have when I simply add a line anywhere in it on two devices.
