Saying goodbye to Evernote, finally...
Twitchly replied to Unhappy Chappy's topic in Evernote General Discussions
This. I was a free subscriber for years, then upgraded to paid in order to help keep Evernote great. Then after some years I upgraded again when the tiers changed. But Evernote has now increased its fees to a level that makes sense only to super-users, with costs surpassing even MS Office and Photoshop/Lightroom/Bridge. I can only assume Bending Spoons wants to maintain its business with fewer customers paying premium prices. But I hope I’m wrong; I’d love to see them offer a (much cheaper) basic plan with fewer monthly uploads and no business features. Preferably before my subscription expires in the spring. In the meantime, I’ve started transferring my Evernote content to another app. It’s a hassle but a good learning experience: shame on me for having put all my eggs in one basket in this fickle business. I’m going forward with an eye toward flexibility. -
Evernote’s current pricing model starts with a magnum of Pinot Noir and goes up from there. Some of us would be content paying for just a basic bottle version. I hope BS considers offering a pared-down option before my subscription expires this spring. (No team access, no priority support, reduced upload volume per month…)

15 year member cancelling subscription
Twitchly replied to rex827's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Bear has a decent clipper. It doesn’t keep the format of the original article, but it manages to clip things EN can’t manage to handle anymore, like anything from the WSJ and NYTimes. (Or any other subscription site I log into.) Bear manages these easily. -
This is striking. What is this based on?

Does EN deserve so much bad press?
Twitchly replied to dvollc's topic in Evernote General Discussions
It’s mainly just the price for me. I’m mostly fine with the app, except the web clipper has taken a few steps backward over the years. I can no longer get the clipper to work for articles from sites requiring passwords, even after I’ve signed in. I’m no power user, but I use EN frequently, mostly to clip something I want to save. (When possible.) I don’t really care for the editor so don’t use it as much for writing as I used to. I never use the to-do lists or team stuff. And I use Dropbox rather than EN for storage of documents, photos, etc. Honestly, I’d probably do fine with a free EN account. I mostly subscribed initially to help support them because I liked the app. With the big price hike, I’ve had to step back and ask how much EN is truly worth to me. Which is why I canceled, then took the reduced-price offer. I’ll pay $60-70. Not more. -
15 year member cancelling subscription
Twitchly replied to rex827's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Yup. That’s what I just did. I intended to actually cancel and was surprised by the reduced offer. I’m willing to pay the reduced amount (which is still a significant increase over last year), but not the crazy new full price. Not for a digital filing cabinet, which is how I use Evernote. I’ve already got a decent backup plan for next year if the offer isn’t repeated. -
I get depressed reading threads like this. I’m no techie. I just want a way to regularly back up my Evernote data without having to use command lines or pay for yet another tool. You’ve all found ways to make up the lack in Evernote itself, but this shouldn’t take a knowledge of coding and databases, and it shouldn’t cost extra.

Price increase and "new" Version
Twitchly replied to Endurance's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I decided to cancel today and go the free route, and EN offered me 40% off. The new price is just a few dollars higher than last year, which I’m fine with. So I’ll be an EN subscriber for a while yet. Once I run out of discounts, I’ll jump. -
Evernote lays off most staff, relocating to Europe

So would I. -
Evernote lays off most staff, relocating to Europe
Twitchly replied to notetakeingguy's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I have worked at several software companies now that got bought out, all with assurances to customers and staff that “nothing will change.“ And of course everything changed. The software was either discontinued right away or left to decay without maintenance. Four of the five corporations that bought out the companies where I worked folded not long after. The only one still standing, a behemoth, quickly junked our software after the buyout. I don’t have high hopes in situations like this. -
Thanks; I’ll look into that. Now if only Apple offered a clipper. How do Apple notes tags differ from those of EN? I must not be using EN tags to their full capacity, because the two seem pretty similar to me. Apple requires you to type a hashtag symbol, and EN requires you to go into a separate tags window. (On the phone; I rarely use the PC version.) What else?
