  1. as i said above... The full professional academic employee who needs more than the free plan. i absolutely agree with you. There are some ways to improve the workflow and decrease the MB. However, i was talking about the professional in a team that requires EN professional because the person collaborates with others across the world. i would like to stop the conversion here. I made my concern clear i think, taking for many people. let's see how BS will develop EN.
  2. all the other "giant" "tech companies" adjust locally. So if EN wants to become a "giant" "tech company"... look at my example above from ms office. the us / european full package office costs more than a full professional consultant (working 24 / 7 with office package) earn in very poor counties 🙂 - how should this person ever afford ms office? again, i don't want to discuss this issue anymore but wish that BS will rock EN. that would be great.
  3. i agree with you. But again: imagine a person lives in such a country, studied, academia background, works for a great company or even the government. this person needs evernote a lot to collaborate with teams across countries. So the basic free plan is not enough. but this person earns just 200 euros per month and simply can't pay 10 euros for EN. this is your view. But again, giant tech companies like microsoft etc. realized that it is actually discriminating when having 1 price all over the world and therefore adjust prices locally. nothing in this world is more fair than saying as a company "ok, if we want to provide our service in country X and we charge here 3 cafe per month, we can only charge them 3 cafe per month based on their local conditions" - if this calculation is negative, don't enter into this country. anyway, i don't want to argue anymore and wish that BS will make EN the best EN ever.
  4. absolutely. But i am just telling you that it is not a sustainable business model to say: we are swiss, we are rich, we want to become the world's best note-taking app ever, we charge you just 10.000 per year, and everyone in the world must pay the same for having an abo. microsoft and many others understood that. otherwise someone from africa, asia or south america simply can't work with someone from the usa or europe. to make it more simple: EN costs about lets say 10 euro per month, right? So around 1x lunch food or 3-4x cafe. so whenever EN decides to enter a country, this should be the orientation for the locals. This so much more sustainable. And if this is not enough for EN than simply delete the country from providing a service. Many other streaming services do it this way. They enter a country once they figured out internally how to assure to be profitable with the local pricing. however, i like EN since day 1 a lot and wish that this product becomes competitive and leading again.
  5. but it is logically the only way. if you want to develop a worldwide leading note-taking software and you are based in switzerland and you say: it will cost 1000 franks per year - this is fine for local people based upon their average salary. however, at this very moment, you exclude 199 other countries or 99% of other potential customers. so you simply can't become worldwide leading if you charge relatively other countries so high that they have to decide "food for my family or a buggy EN abo?" basically almost all other giant companies like microsoft, adobe, netflix and tons of others do it this way. Imagine you life in switzerland and work with someone in Malaysia. The full MS office package per year in switzerland costs more than their yearly salary in Malaysia. They simply can't pay the swiss standard for MS office. Microsoft and all the other leading tech companies understood that. knowing that the costs are already given for a company like EN, is it better to have 100 customers from the US only or having the same 100 in the US but additional 100.000 other customers from much poorer countries? This is the moment where the company starts adjusting the local prices. Because the incremental cost are minimal and almost zero anyway.
  6. you never ever can see it this way. In my country, people earn around 200 euros per month. This is a lot of money here. The rent for a 80qm flat is around 50 euro per month. price is "fair" in "relation to something". So if your average salary is 24.000 euro per year and EN charges 100 euro = 0,4% of yearly salary. let us make a round 0,5% of yearly average salary - that is "ok". or if your average rent for a normal flat is 800 euro per month, so around 10.000 euro per year... A yearly 100 euro EN fee is 1% - this is "ok". so everything needs a relation. it is confusing when EN increases the price in a way that it becomes 1-2 full rents for a family per year. so coming back to your "being lucky i saved"... no absolutely not. It was just "fair" and "in relation to other daily costs" just "reasonable".
  7. here "You may see a higher price on our website than you’re currently paying, but rest assured you will continue to renew at the same price you’ve been paying as long as your subscription remains active. Only new subscribers to Personal will be charged the new price."
  8. what confuses me most is the fact that EN promised that the old price will stay forever as long as you don't cancel the current subscription.
  9. If you read in the middle: usync a device. So reduce the number of devices and you can use it for free.
  10. i can tell you that the offline function is a disaster. even if you would have all notes offline available, any update on an offline note does not get updated online quickly. So you get the same note 2x in the overview - the old original version + the updated one with the changes. i wish the offline option would work perfectly but my experience so far is so bad.
  11. it is a while ago where the speed of EN increased dramatically which - of course - improved the overall performance. however, i think there is a long way to go. but one can see the improvements.
  12. yes, i heavily use todoist and evernote. between both aps = works well.
  13. thank you for the information. as you mentioned this is not what i need :-(. i will stick to doing it manually.
  14. example: having a 1 hour time block in google calendar, writing in the comment field: "check evernote" when i try to put a link under "check evernote"... it is not possible because the format is no right (because it is an internal link). do you know how to get an internal link as a hyperlink in the comment field?
  15. it seems to be that it got fixed in the last update. Edit: It still happens, but not that often. Like 50 / 50 chance in each try.
  16. right, just to internal links. it does not happen, when referring an internet link. i will write the support.
  17. i do use windows 10 and the latest EN version. this problem, however, happened to all the other versions as well: when i do split screen, so: left side = EN right side: firefox or any other window whenever i click in En on an internal link that brings me to another EN note, the whole EN app window shifts almost out of the monitor screen. do you have the same problem?
  18. I just contacted the support. I thought one may experience the same issue and can share their solution.
  19. Known problem for years: 1. Opening an image on an Android smartphone, share it with EN. The following picture appears - see attachment. Problem 1: the last character of the word on the left and right side is on a separate line "n" - which looks so confusing every time and makes the overlay window unnecessary larger (1 row) 2. So, once I upload the image and get the successful check symbol, i thought job is done. Problem 2: However, the next time when I open EN directly via the app itself, i see the exact same overlay window as in the attachment again - like I didn't finish the process last time and EN is still waiting me to confirm. This is on all of my Android devices for years now.
  20. i haven't done that yet. i can refer them to this post, but they should know that already. i mean there were 1000 people before me complaining about the speed. fresh android system, just 10 apps installed, everything super superfast... except evernote... as always... on all devices... 😞 so i will let them know.
  21. i love EN but, working daily with the new version on my windows laptop. basically, everything works fine. but i can understand you once i am on my android devices. i do have only the latest and most expensive android devices like tab s7+ - the 8gb version or s21 ultra - the 16gb version. however. opening the app = always 10 seconds to see the dashboard.for every note = 5 seconds white screen until i see the actual note. business colleagues from mckinsey etc are laughing at me all the time when i try to open something to show them, and we do have just like a few seconds before the meeting starts... it is still a little embarrassing feeling when needing in total 15 seconds and a white screen to show like 1 short bullet point of note 😞
  22. @eric99 I wanted to add this setence 🙂 - so DD from EN to desktop to any program works, of course. But not the direct, immediate, way (skipping desktop / exploer).
  23. latest windows 10 version on lenovo x1 carbon + latest EN 10 version - D&D definitely does not work.
