Trilln451 6 Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 I've been using the free version for years. Today when I went to look a a note, I couldn't get past the pop-up urging me to subscribe to the paid version. I hadn't heard they're getting RID of the free version, tried going to the web page, same problem. I'm loggin from my computer next, so I can download my notes & delete my account. 1
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,134 Posted August 7, 2024 Evernote Expert Posted August 7, 2024 The message you saw relates to the new device limits for free users. Unless you follow the instructions you will be stuck logging in on any device. Free remains. Take a look at the Evernote blog for more details... https://evernote.com/blog/free-limit-changes-august-2024

Solution Trilln451 6 Posted August 7, 2024 Author Solution Posted August 7, 2024 Thank you. I did find a workaround - after fearing id deleted ALL my devices (one at a time - followed instructions without knowing the full story). But the problem was, even complying with "one device" Evernote wouldn't let me close the big window saying 'continue with monthly' or '40% off yearly'. I finally installed it in my laptop, had the same problem, but found I could go to Tools, open that, close it, & the window was gone & I could access my notebooks. I'll go to your link there to see what I can learn. Thanks! 1
Trilln451 6 Posted August 7, 2024 Author Posted August 7, 2024 I followed the link,& yes, that's the information I found when I went to their Twitter page. It doesn't appear to address the fact that I kept getting blocked from accessing my notes on my phone, even after eliminating access via the web version. That subscription box kept blocking me. When I saw it yesterday, it seemed like you just had to hit the go back button a few times, & it would stop popping up, but today it was persistent. And of course Evernote has that rule that you can only remove access twice in one month, so I thought, after installing it on my laptop & removing web access, that if I could get access on my LAPTOP (because of the pop-up box) I was going to be SOL till September. So I was mighty relieved to find a workaround.
nealdc 0 Posted August 8, 2024 Posted August 8, 2024 I just posted the error subscription promo message that blocks my being able to access my notes on the only 1 single device I have ever used. On Mon 8/5, I accessed my notes. On Tuesday 8/6 this message blocked my ability to access any of my notes on the Samsung Android Galaxy S 21 mobile phone I use for the app. I only use the app. I only use 1 device. I have never used more than 1 device. I only want to access and read the notes I have made for several years, which until this promo display blocked me from doing. Is there anyone who can help me? Does Evernote help users with a simple free account. I am not over limit. That is meaningless as I have not added one thing in months or even years. I am a benign user and have no interest in over using the free account, but I CANNOT ACCESS ANY OF MY NOTES ON THE 1 SINGLE DEVICE I HAVE ALWAYS USED WHICH IS THE MOBILE APP. Is there anyone here or at Evernote that can or would help me. It appears that this promo may be a hack and for sure I do not want to offer my credit card for a free account to a hacker who will abuse my credit card. If the account was and is supposed to be free, then why would I be being asked to enter my credit card information unless a hacker is going to steal all my credit information. Please look at the display I just posted and tell me if it is legitimate or a hack. If it is a hack, then how can I get rid of it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app numerous times. If it is legitimate then tell me why Evernote would be asking for a monthly payment with my credit card for a free account? Did they do away with free accounts? How can I access my notes so I can get away from this horrible situation? Thanks Neal Gross
jentomn11 0 Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 Having same issue here - I posted a new topic to see if anyone had information that could be helpful. Not finding anything yet??
Trilln451 6 Posted August 15, 2024 Author Posted August 15, 2024 My solution was to install the PC version on my laptop, then log in. When I got the promo window blocking me, I went to the top bar & clicked on "Tools", then closed it & found the promo window had closed as well. Was able to export my notebook (in Evernote form - tried to export as PDFs too, but it would finish the process). Then imported my notebook into Microsoft OneNote - you have to get a third party app for that. Looks like everything came in OK, so the only thing left to do is delete my Evernote account. Too bad, I did like Evernote - but OneNote does seem a bit smoother & more user-friendly.
