Android ≠ Mobile On iOS most things work OK. There are some very annoying mistakes, like from time to time resetting the offline toggle by updates. But the mobile client runs ok on my iOS devices. Which leaves the question which technical problem is underlying a 4 year long streak with Android client problems.

Doubling the price??
PinkElephant replied to Jeffrey Hallett's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Apple provides a full notes app called Apple Notes free of charge with all relevant products. It syncs through iCloud, so probably there needs to be an iCloud subscription. It‘s more basic, but has significantly improved in the last years and would be my pick if I wanted „just note taking“. Apple ecosystem only, access through iCloud web on non Apple devices. -
Just to throw this in: One of the last updates (must have been, I never touched it myself) just toggled the „offline“ switch to off again. Which means that all my meticulously downloaded offline content on my iPhone has just been send down the gutter, again. It will take days to download, again. Its not that I would really need it. I just rely on it for my living as a freelancer who needs access no matter where, no matter when … BTW offline access is not working on any of my Mac’s either, although they all carry a full download on their respective SSDs. Support acknowledged the ticket, and went silent about it since.

Can’t tell. Unfortunately the „Offline“ toggle decided again in one of the last updates to toggle itself OFF again, dumping what was downloaded before. It is one of the things that repeats itself, showing that nobody at EN HQ gives a ***** about checking even the basic functions before releasing a new version. Before everything got removed, it was working fine for me.

LOL You started posting in this thread, using words like shame and beyond reasonable. It‘s just a note app, remember ? -
Well - that’s no contradiction. Always mention „miscellaneous bugs fixed“ in release notes - maybe you rectified some by accident you did not even try to fix ?! I mean, they break things all the time they said they didn’t touch, so why not fix some through a „black“ job occasionally ?

The database keeps updating

Actually it’s not. If it would be, it would belong into the Android Issues or Android Features Subforum. -
Doubling the price??
PinkElephant replied to Jeffrey Hallett's topic in Evernote General Discussions
If a price is justified is never an absolute question. Many things used professionally have an eye watering price point if seen from a private or low key use case. But if you depend on it to earn a dime, you better watch for the value first, and only then how to get it for a better price. If EN lives up to the expectations raised by the new price point, I assume there will be enough users for them to „justify“ the setting. Whether it matches your personal preferences is of no importance at all, seen from the business case made by repositioning the service. Anybody repositioning a business will expect to loose users left and right - you just need to make sure to keep those that will carry you further. It seems you are out of scope, and that’s it. -
What is Evernote for anymore?

Sharing works for me, both in a personal setting, and for my professional projects. It was vastly improved with RTE syncing in May 2023 - since then shared notes don’t need to be locked any more when one user is accessing them. We can now work jointly on the same note without causing an avalanche of conflicts. About alternative solutions anybody has his own preferences and restrictions. Thanks for sharing yours. -

They may have decided to do away with a rebate you received year after year, by allowing a grandfathered subscription to be renewed. Maybe it was a shame that users were treated differently for such a long time. Correcting this unjust treatment is no shame. If you don’t get enough value to continue under the current conditions is entirely your decision, and doesn’t need to be justified. -
Good. 11.345 notes less, free-un-loaded. Progress is just 1 device away, it seems.

I sometimes see older versions when I open a client. Then it calls home, and the sync straightens the status within seconds. This said it is still possible to provoke note conflicts. Take a device offline and change a note. Take another device offline and change the same note, but differently. Now take both online. @mathiassoc If you have different versions of the same note, it seems your local database has taken a hit. Depending on the device the methods to fix this is slightly different. On a Mac remove the install using AppCleaner. On iOS uninstall, dump all data when asked. In both cases restart the device, install fresh. On the Mac let the app run for quite a while in the background to allow a full download.

Disrespectful … I think it is disrespectful to expect others to cover the cost of your usage, just to make you think „how respectful is this !“. I rather have my subscription money invested into devs and hosting my data, than caring about not messing up you feelings. Free means you are a user, not a customer - your terms of usage can be changed any time

It‘s fast and usable on all of my devices, which may be the reason I can’t really comment on your experience. But using a private service (that by default removes the content from the reach of the company systems) for performing business is not what I think is sound professional practice. -
Beside the fact that access is still possible, the title of this thread is all wrong to start with: There are no „legacy users“, because no legacy client can be used any more. There may be some users who still keep an old account on Free, serving as an archive. Just as a reminder, this is courtesy of EN. For any other long term cloud storage users need to pay. So enjoy while it lasts, but I wouldn’t take it for granted. Subscribing for a month is little if it allows to move all stuff out of a doubtful storage.

Evernote - Settings - Daily Note - uncheck the checkbox. A question: Is it really a thing to look into settings first, and asks when you can't find it ? It will almost bite you into the face when you open the settings.
-
The limit has been reduced to 1 device. This is now one device at a time. Log out on one, and you can log in on another. At least you will get some training in the process this way. Remember Free is for trial only - this is not meant for any extended period of time. Subscribe to get unlimited devices. Leave if you like other solutions better.
-
In my opinion you are either overthinking or overinterpreting. Inform yourself and think about the real difference between sharing to a known recipient and sharing a link. The shared link can be passed on without your consent. On the other hand you don’t need to know the recipients data - you could post the link in social media, for example.
-
The message that Free is for trial only was transmitted when Free was restricted to 50 notes. Insofar nothing has changed. They are just fine tuning this model.
