  1. That sums it up far better than I have! I aim to make this my last comment on this šŸ˜‚
  2. I donā€™t understand how someone can be accused of ā€˜abusingā€™ the service by using it as offered personally. I think thatā€™s an unfair statement. As you said, the company can do, as can I. In the grand scheme me using or not using makes little difference to their bottom line but a big difference to how I understand values.
  3. If someone knowingly says one thing whilst intentionally doing another, that does lack integrity in my book. The simple reality is what the website says people get when they sign up isnā€™t true, and Evernote know that. I canā€™t get my head around how thatā€™s ok. I am going to disengage from talking about it now tho as my frustration is rising. What I need to decide is if Iā€™m comfortable continuing to pay when the companies ethics and mines are quite different on some fundamental levels. Going to give myself a month or so to decide, Iā€™m currently paying monthly so no worries there.
  4. Sadly what they write and then what they actually do or deliver seems to be two different things now. Iā€™m sorry your experiencing this as others have written it seems free is about to become test drive only, though they have not communicated anything so thatā€™s a guess. Personally Iā€™m deeply uncomfortable with the lack of integrity, what we say something is - thatā€™s what it should be. I am a paying customer and would normally encourage you to look at that, but under these circumstances that doesnā€™t feel appropriate.
  5. I cant agree with that, I think everyone is owed honesty and transparency, if those are things we now need to pay for the world is way more screwed than even a cynic like me thinks it is. Sure they can change those terms but they actually need to communicate those changes, not have what is written and what is delivered different.
  6. And I get that, but they could be communicating what they are doing and why. I donā€™t think itā€™s reasonable that someone signs up for a free tier as advertised on the website only to discover when using the product what is claimed isnā€™t actually true, there are undeclared limits. If I was testing that, there ainā€™t no chance I would consider buying at that point. I think itā€™s far better to be honest about what they are trying out, sure there is gonna be a negative reaction, as any change seems to generate but this method could prove far more harmful as it draws questions over can Evernote be trusted, if they say one thing but do another here, who is to say they wonā€™t do that elsewhere. When it comes to a company we entrust our data to, trust is essential and they should be doing all they can to nurture and protect that in my view.
  7. I can see why Evernote would alter the free plan. I cannot see why they have not communicated this however. I do find it lacking honesty that the free plan says one thing but customers are getting something else instead. That is deceptive, sure change the plan, but be honest about it. As they are saying one thing and then doing another I feel my concerns for the companies integrity growing. Just be honest and transparent or trust erodes.
  8. They are offering a 40 percent discount I think on those notices youā€™re getting? If I were you I would snap that up if you can. If you like Evernote and it works for you, that might be the more productive option than looking for an alternative which can be a bit like going into wonderland!
  9. Mines doesnā€™t lock up but ai search never loads text it just keeps those flashing search lines until I leave, left it a good while, no results ever come.
  10. Easy to use and consistent text editor that carries formatting when copy and pasting Good offline management Great OCR capabilities Email in notes Integrated tasks they are some of the ones I really appreciate and other apps donā€™t do as well or at all. The Ai search could be a really powerful layer on top of that.
  11. Home is so handy as tasks are right there - Iā€™m great at writing the task but then never checking! Cause they are there I find I am reminded more frequently what I still have to get done.
  12. Hi, I am also using Craft and Evernote, trying to work out a use case for having both as both are great. Evernote is the faster of the two now, which a few months ago was definitely not the case. I too really like tasks - being able to root those in my info is really handy for keeping thoughts and tasks together.
  13. Any update on this? Those calendar templates are super handy. The thought of having to do that myself - Iā€™m not keen lol
  14. Interesting how on Reddit there is complaints because people are receiving the emails regarding price increasesā€¦ so they are being sent out as Evernote said they would be. Yet here we get this nonsense about hidden secret charges from a company not communicating, which do I believeā€¦.
  15. Thatā€™s what puzzles me, I donā€™t get the complaint there, other than the fact change, that was previously announced has in fact occurred, now I HATE change, go read my comments when BS took over as evidence lol, but that doesnā€™t seem to be the issue here. Good point re the change needing done to improve cash flow before. BS sure donā€™t seem reluctant to make big changes if they feel they are needed.
  16. Except that is an assumption as numerous people have already tirelessly pointed out - Evernote send notification emails as billing nears. You are getting near that point now. To be clear you have not been billed without notice as your billing is not due yet, but here you are kicking off as if some great injustice has been committed against you alone. I donā€™t get it and can neither understand nor have any patience for the position your trying to take.
  17. I am so utterly confused, they have not billed you anything, correct? If so whatā€™s the issue, they could create the flying pink elephants tier and it would be irrelevant unless it ether a) led to loss of features or b) led to unexpected billing. It seems neither of these things has happened and you are protesting a name change that makes no difference to you currently and means in the future you pay what everyone else has to, which it seems you already knew was the case. I honestly cannot fathom what you are complaining about.
  18. Wait hold on a sec, so they have not billed you yet but upgraded you? - ie given you all the benefits of the pro tier but for less than the rest of us paid for it?We should be the ones complaining if people are getting upgrades from lower cost tiers to the same as ours for less money surely? If your billing isnā€™t due yet, you wonā€™t get the email yet, it will come when billing is near, until then if I have understood you correctly you have been upgraded for free and seem to find this insultingā€¦.im bewildered.
  19. Is this a joke? How many times do they need to announce the price changes before the penny drops? Itā€™s utterly astonishing someone is posting this acting as if this is new or hidden information, unless they have been on Mars avoiding this change is some feat.
  20. Some background, my two kids are autistic, one severely soā€¦ I decided to ask ai search when my sons last appointment was - it found it - the date, time, location, even the doctors name (which was spelled correctly even as I couldnā€™t hope to pronounce it). What was really remarkable for me is this wasnā€™t a note, not in the traditional sense, it was a scan copy of a medical letter I had scanned into Evernote. This feature could be so useful in finding that kinda info as I drop more stuff in it. Just wanted to share a use case as we all ponder this new feature and if and how it might be useful.
  21. Yeah thereā€™s a lot mentioning this, was quickly dismissed here and I canā€™t be bothered arguing it lol, whatever is being planned will become clear in time. Personally Iā€™m ok with the restrictions as long as if paid drop to free their data is preserved and can be exported. There should be no risk to data and no lock in as consequence of going free.
  22. Not sure if this is any use or notā€¦.if the codes are being stored and not edited, could you export those notes where colour needs to be maintained as pdfs and attach them? That way they ought to be searchable still but the key formatting would be maintained?
  23. Hey all, Iā€™m seeing a few posts on Reddit that people are seeing warnings come up on the free tier that states limits that seem to be around 1 notebook and 50 notes. Now I donā€™t know if thatā€™s a bug or a plan - some are seeing these things others itā€™s working as normal. But I wanted to try and suggest something If the plan is to change the free tier and add further restricitons to it - this would be a great moment to add a basic tier - there is nothing below pro and not everyone is looking for those features. Some free users might consider a subscription if there was a lower priced tier. I know in the past there was plus tier but having a basic one for people who find free useful would surely be a fairer option than restricting free and leaving those users no option but to pay Ā£9 or leave. Just an idea - the whole thing might be wrong granted!
  24. Ai search is now on my mobile (iPhone) - now this is truly useful as Iā€™m more likely to be asking questions on the move. Just tried it asking it a question, the answer was a bit slow in coming but the accuracy and level of detail given back was astonishing as it was all drawn from a scanned appointment and everything even down to very complex names was accurate.
  25. Thanks, that makes more sense! I was reading the concern and thinking what on earth, is this normal. Iā€™m not sure about Crafts policy for attachments - there are similar questions and concerns being asked there, some of my attachments are quite private, pdfs of meetings or scans of medical letters (they are stored in Evernote tho), so I would want to know that people couldnā€™t be finding some odd back door into them.
