randman21 0 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) I use Evernote with only two devices, which haven't changed in four years. When I opened the app today, it made me sign in, and is now forcing me to unsync a device (one of which I'm currently using) in order to access my notes. I then went to the web version of Evernote, and I see that they added my one Mac as a synced device TWICE, so now I have to unsync two devices in order to use Evernote at all. If I have to unsync in order to add new devices, why is it adding new ones just because I logged in? Can someone help me with this? I do eventually need to unsync my iPhone because I got a new phone, but that would require a third unsync. I'd settle for access with my Mac first. I understand trying to upsell to premium, but this isn't the way to do it. Edit: Seriously, what's going on here? I just opened the app on my old iPhone...it let me access my notes for about a minute and now it's asking me to unsync a device again. This is extremely frustrating, y'all. I'm a musician and I have lyrics to finish and record TODAY. I have loved Evernote so much over the last eight years, but I will not upgrade because I don't need any extra features.

Level 5* gazumped 12,070 Posted May 24, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hi. There's some background and possible help here - Understanding the device limit All due respect - using a free app for a business-critical purpose is not always a good idea... Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,819 Posted May 25, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Eight years of free use, I an impressed. The free model has basically 2 functions: Allow people who receive shares to open them without paying, and to find out if EN may be a good tool to subscribe and use. Anybody who intentionally works his way around these 2 use cases IMHO does so at its own risk. If you need to do something NOW and TODAY, you are sometimes bad off with a freemium model. However you can fix this problem yourself, fast and even get a discount on the solution. Link to comment
