  1. I misspoke. I don't mean Evernote's subscription model is a problem. I'm referring to their dramatic change in pricing model. With Waves Audio, going from a one-time fee a to subscription was a problem for many. In my opinion, I would expect an 80% increase in price from Evernote to be equally disappointing.
  2. Well, in the audio engineering world that I'm a part of, the customer base complained when a company called Waves Audio went to a subscription-only model. Well, there was an intense backlash. Waves Audio retracted - https://www.musicradar.com/news/waves-plugin-subscription-service-uproar Based on what I'm seeing in Evernote land, that doesn't seem to be how people feel about this, which is surprising. However, sometimes companies do respond to user complains.
  3. It's sticker shock. Whether or not they've increased their price over the years, it's unreasonable to do it on one fell swoop. As I mentioned elsewhere, I can't justify paying this cost when compared to other software subscriptions I have. So now I have the inconvenience of learning a new note taking tool and altering my workflow. I think that's the problem everyone is facing. Increased price OR inconvenience. I've already cancelled. Although I may look into their educator discount.
  4. Just cancelled myself. Sorry Evernote. I need a few less features for a better price.
  5. I don't think Evernote realizes what this new price point is competing with. There are important software subscriptions I have to consider for my work that are at the same price as Evernote now. Evernote is supposed to help me stay organized but I'm not going to pay this kind of price as though it's critical.
  6. It's novelty and greed. There's nothing inherently wrong with AI but at this stage most people are so unfamiliar with the concept that it's all buzzword and novelty. I say this as a person who is involved with related technologies.
  7. Yeah, I'm trying to find alternatives as well. I wonder what market research they've done that convinced them to make these changes? Most of us probably just want efficiency and not necessarily _more_ features.
  8. My primary concern is that it's an unneeded cost. We're paying more for something I suspect won't make a meaningful impact.
  9. I'm sure everyone at the Evernote offices are eager to continue their research in AI but I doubt many Evernote users were eager for any AI-related features. If all you're using it for is to make grammatical suggestions or improve search, then it's overkill. With that removed, then I believe you can reduce your price increase. If anyone agrees, please voice your concerns.
  10. Yeah, I also don't see the point of this price increase. Evernote basically _just_ creates a better, streamlined, user experience than Google Docs. There's also no need for the buzzword "AI" as a part of their new features.
  11. By several I am referring to probably 3 notes. I took photos of business cards. I don't see it showing up. I wrote the contact info of this one guy. I don't see it. You have to understand this never happened to me when I was using version 8 on Android for several years. I only recently updated to version 10 and I have all these issues. No exaggeration at all.
  12. I spent several minutes looking for support and this is all I could find. Where do I send a support ticket?
  13. I am missing several notes from a networking event. This was such a critical event that I just have to stop using Evernote now. After more than 10 years. This is crazy.
  14. Something similar has happened to me. In fact my performance on my new android phone has been so awful it's hard for me to pinpoint single problems.
  15. You may be surprised to know this but the revenue they get from premium users is likely used to develop their "free" software.
