  1. Please add an option to the settings to actually quit the program. all hotkeys are still active when the application is closed to the tray and this is very inconvenient especially that evernote take over common hotkeys and replaces them. We use other applications too and we expect their hotkeys to work. I think it is quite rude for programmers to presume how we want to use the software and leave us no option to choose.
  2. @Dave-in-Decaturtotally agree with you. I need a plan that is between free and the lowest available just to continue using the service. Otherwise sadly after 2 decades I will have to move elsewhere. For now I have a year to keep going as the discount I was offered lowered the price to a reasonable. The forum still shows that I'm on a free subscription though, which is not correct. What I find a bit grating is that the terms and conditions were changed on me. 20 years ago there was an agreement between evernote and I and I was offered certain features for free with an option to get more, if I wanted and pay for them. Now those features were taken away. I understand that the company need to pay for servers and stuff to keep going. But they should offer an option to the old, long time customers that makes sense and is fair.
  3. I didn't create this business model. 20 years ago i started to use a free service very casually. I have very limited notes there and to be honest I keep most of my "Serious" stuff on google in the docs and keep (guess what - it is free). Evernote servers a small purpose of taking notes, which we can do in many other ways for free. As I said I would be ok to pay $5 a month for my limited use (which I actually did as I got a discount). As far as paid options are concerned there are again a lot of really good and much cheaper alternatives. Anyway, attacking me for being a free user of a service that has a free option seems a bit odd.
  4. @PinkElephantwow. I didn't expect such a rude answer. Evernote was FREE. this is how it was advertised for years. The app I was using never prompted me to update it, so for some reason I was still on the very old one. Not my choice really. So calling me a freeloader for using a free service is a bit of a stretch. Maybe you are new to evernote and do not know the history? I started using it 15+ years ago. At that time we used to have a lot of free services online. Evernote wasn't an exception. After updating it to the latest one I only see greed in the popups. And the pricing is mental. if it was $5 a month I wouldn't bother writing but just go with the subscription. $18 per month!! this is what Adobe is charging for using their apps... @AlbertR I managed to log in to the web and there it seems there are no limits on how many devices can be disconnected and I was able to disconnect everything.
  5. Hi, It turns out that I was still using v4 on my desktop (I have been evernote user for like forever) and I updated it to the latest v10. It bombarded me with popups to pay for it and then complained about too many devices being connected. It allowed me to disconnect some old phones that I no longer even have and then locked me out because I can only disconnect two devices a month. I don't even know how many devices I have connected or what they are. So disappointed to see where we ended up with this app. I get it - you need subscriptions. But with this business model Im pretty sure you are losing the customer base. Am I going to wait a month to see if I can disconnect more devices just to discover that maybe I have a few more old phones there in the list and I need to wait another month? No thank you. Am I going to pay over $100 on special for a note taking app? And no way to contact you to resolve the issue just a public forum? Sad reality of 2024 😞
