I get why they're making the change, but it does seem like quite a user-hostile move to blindside people with it with no warning. IMO a more reasonable approach would have been a warning that the limits would be changing in 3-6 months. I'm concerned this is another death spiral indicator. It seems like it'll be very difficult for them to attract new users given such a limited trial, along with how many former evangelists they've disillusioned at this point.

The guy who spends all his time shilling in the Evernote forums, talking about people having nothing better to do. The way things are going, you may need to get a new hobby. There are multiple people in that thread claiming to have heard it directly from laid-off employees, and that the layoffs happened today. Yeah, it's possible it's made up, but more likely it's true, and will be more mainstream news in a day or two. There were also massive layoffs back in February, which is probably the discussion you're thinking of.

I'm becoming convinced Evernote doesn't actually believe in regression testing. For the past week and a half or so, about 90% of the time, quick notes don't work on Android. I didn't notice this at first and lost several notes, because the only indication is hasn't worked is a quick flash of red on the screen, and then the app is crashed the next time you try to open it. This is happening on my wife's phone as well, so much be a fairly common issue. Not losing notes is about the most critical feature there is for a note-taking app. Meanwhile daily reminder digest emails have been missing reminders for close to a month now, and moving notes into large notebooks is now basically impossible.

I narrowed down my issue to moving notes to large notebooks. I have a "done" notebook where I keep completed tasks - often useful to search when or how something was done, and easier to put everything in there than to try and decide what I might need later. It has 17k notes currently, and was consistently very slow to move into since this problem started. For now I've created a temporary done2023 notebook to work around it. Unfortunately in doing so I realized that unlike any filesystem, EN considers moving a note to be an update and changes the updated date.

Lots of well-written Windows programs will prompt you on uninstall to ask whether you want to remove the associated data. Unsurprisingly, Evernote is not one of these. On the plus side, since deleting the profile folder and reinstalling, I haven't had a slow move yet, so maybe that did it. Thanks for the idea.
