  1. hmmm good comments - thanks - maybe I will have another look at Synology - and also Terramaster
  2. Yep, I had a look at Synology - looks great. I also looked at QNAP - looks brilliant too. Wow, some amazing apps that comes with these NAS products including home security. I suppose I should look at what DAS's are all about as a compromise on cost to complete my due diligence....but really, I just love the idea of a NAS - as I say, I love the look of all those juicy apps!!! But I suppose we are getting off topic now - someone is no doubt about to pull us up on that - fair enough too I suppose...lol
  3. Just a correction to my earlier post - my monthly subscription has gone from AUD (Australian dollars) $9.99 to $17.99 - an 80% increase!!! Someone in my brain I thought it had gone to $14.99
  4. Thanks for the heads up re Synology Note Station. I had no idea that existed and based on what I have read about it just now I think that could be a good option - for me tagging and clipping from webpages are more important than how pdfs are displayed and Note Station seems to do that well. Although I guess you need to have a Synology NAS to be able to have access to that. It seems the leading NAS brands have their own note apps and they do appear quite good so this makes me think that EN is going to really have to lift its game as those NAS apps will obviously keep improving. And also more and more people will presumably go for having their own personal cloud as costs come down. Folk will like the idea of increased storage space as well as freedom from potential insecurity with traditional cloud storage as well as lack of speed (especially for video and multimedia), not to speak of ongoing costs So since you first mentioned having a NAS setup I have gotten all excited about using one ...lol...but so many options and so much information it is doing my head in ...lol....but the pain could be worth it. And now, the Synology Note Station is yet another variable in the equation....eek!!!!! By the way, I was paying AUD (Australian dollars) $9.99 a month and this has increased to AUD14.99 - an exact 50% increase. However, I have juts looked at the current EN pricing table and the month to month plan (which is what I am on - for Professional) is now $22.49!!!!! A 125% increase. And even if you pay annually it still works out at AUD17.50 monthly. So at $14.99 per month I suppose I should be happy. So yes you are probably right about pricing varying for each member and it probably depends on how long you have been a paying subscriber. It is interesting though that they told you your rate would not increase AT ALL
  5. Thanks for your comments. It's a tricky one to be sure. Certainly if the price had doubled I would probably still hang in there - but be actively looking for alternatives at the same time The problem with "workarounds" lies on the tagging side. Tagging is at the heart of using EN - as the content is used for writing and research purposes. Even Microsoft One Note is a lot weaker in that area I think. AND EN is unquestionably superior in importing content from the web The way I am feeling right now is that I may well have to give up one weekly cappuccino and keep EN ...lol. Having said that, I WILL be expecting some of the syncing and stability issues (not to speak of content vanishing!!!) to be addressed by EN as a matter of urgency - as well as clear and obvious ongoing product development
  6. That all sounds interesting. I like the idea of a NAS for use by home computers. I'm not sure about cloud self-hosting - a bit above my pay grade I feel.....lol------was it all hard to do? Perhaps you are a hard core techie? And are you saying that with your new setup you can dispense with EN - but what app would you go to?
  7. OK - thank you for that - perhaps I should do some homework then to prepare for a possible defection from EN - something I never thought I would do - but as they say, "never say never"
  8. Super annoyed with this price increase - which I describe as GOUGING AND considering that there have been so many instances of late of content that I type into notes simply disappearing - AND whole notes that do not get saved, AND Evernote not syncing properly with the Brave browser via the web clipper, that I am seriously considering ditching Evernote once and for all. It would be a drastic and wholly undesirable thing to do but when you have no confidence that your content will even be saved, what choice is there really? The price increase is in essence extortion because it is not as if you can simply export your notes into another application. I have over 31,000 fully tagged notes. This means I am joined at the hip with EN for life whether I like it or not
  9. yes, I agree. This is probably Evernote's one big weakness as a company - they seem to live in another dimension - one divorced from its user-base. Ultimately it opens the door to more competition. No company will endure unless it engages with its customers and sets expectations properly
  10. yes, I agree it is hard for a corporate culture to change
  11. To be fair, it was a good letter. The problem is - it was way overdue. But as he admits, their biggest error was in not alerting users to what was coming in the new release. This was just bad bad bad.......but at least they admit it and I doubt they will ever repeat that mistake. it was like waking up one morning and finding ourselves on the moon - not a nice feeling
  12. It is horrific what Evernote have done. The new version is a chomped down version (all sorts of core functionality removed) and is also very buggy. Yet not one update since it was released. Goodness knows what they were thinking
