    The company is offering choices and people are choosing. You seem to have a gripe that you're paying and others are not. You get what you pay for.
    You get more because you pay.

    True. I would be perfectly will to pay for what was the "free" level if that was all that was covered (2 devices, 60MB upload limit, web clipper). Paying for a lot of things that I will never use does not make sense.

    Hope you're ready for an onslaught of "freeloading users don't get service so how could they be disserviced" type responses.

    Given the number of people I have recommended to the paid version of Evernote (my manager, the department head, and others who pay for it), I don't feel bad about it.  An Evernote "Basic" level, with much the same as the free version would be much appreciated by those of us who do not need the extras. I haven't hit the 60MB upload size since 2010. Why pay for things I don't need?

    PS: I've been online long enough to know how to ignore trolls.

    New forums user, but I've been using Evernote itself for 'roundabout 7 years now. I picked it up in early highschool and loved it enough, despite its problems (notably a lack of darkmode for so long, and I'm light sensitive!), that I've stuck with it for this long - but 50 notes and 1 notebook is just ridiculous without making another, lower priced tier solely to remove this limit. I never payed for Evernote because I've never needed any of the stuff personal offered. Why would I pay 130$ for unlimited devices when I only ever use my computer and phone? Why would I pay 130$ for 10GB of download when I never hit the 60MB free monthly limit in my 7 years of using the app? Why would I pay 130$ to customize my home dashboard when I'm completely comfortable with the basic one? Why would I pay 130$ to email support I've seen other users say is unresponsive anyway? In fact, I think the only thing in all of the personal plan I have any desire for is the higher note size, but its pretty unusual for me to hit the free limit on a note anyway so that was never enough of a pain-point to justify the expense. In short, I don't need 130$ worth of features. I just need the plain and simple notetaking and organizing app that it's always been. Not offering a more reasonable Evernote Basic (or something) tier to allow that without making me pay for a bunch of features I don't need / will never use just feels greedy when those basic features used to be free. When Evernote begins offering a lesser plan that removes these new restrictions for like, 5$ a month max (the price I could pay to remove ads from other comparable notetaking apps that don't limit my creativity), then I'll pay for this. But I simply can't justify the price of personal compared to other apps I could use.

    Your description above could be mine. I don't mind paying for things I like and use. I do not want to pay for things I don't need or would never use.

    wonder if it was a staged rollout and we are still in the calm before the storm period.

    It could be. I am still on the free version and and have been able to add new notes yesterday and today---and I have far more than 50 notes. I've often thought about getting a paid version but none of the additional features are ones that I need. I did not know about the change until today (Dec 6!) when I got an email from Evernote about an important update. I think not letting people know about the change until after it goes into effect is customer "dis-service".

  5. Evernote for Mac updated yesterday to 10.67.3-mac-mas-public . I still had the problem. Based on recommendations here, I checked online and a newer version (10.67.4-mac-mas-public)) was available. I updated my app and the "changed the updated date on viewing" problem is still happening.
