Questions about this idea
- Is Frustration with Release Notes a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 12 different people described it independently, in 12 mentions, the earliest from 21 Mar 2023 and the most recent from 18 Oct 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 2 people raised it in the last 30 days and 2 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.

Evernote's intrusive release notes and freezing screens have made the app feel cluttered for the 8 people who shared their feedback here. We are looking into how the interface slows down or glitches out right after an update. Does the app freeze for you immediately after closing the release notes or while you are trying to type a new note?
