THIS! I could afford getting gouged for functionality I use, and not having to move all my data somewhere else. But if the new company is making bad decisions like this, will the product be around much longer? How stupid will I look one day when the app is not working and nobody from the company can be reached. At this point moving to another app is a way of covering my own data access more than losing money. I simply have lost faith in Evernote because of Spoons poor business decisions (just go into maintance and performing coding mode boys, stop trying to morph into a "do everything" app - look at how great Elon Musk is doing with that strategy at X!)

I came to Evernote because I needed a flexible place to dump all my random brain bits. It was great at that. I could be in and out fast to add or retrieve something. Over the years it's decided it had to be "SO MUCH MORE" wanting users to spend more time in the app, to collaborate, to add plug-in functions, etc. Great, I don't use that stuff, but you're still doing just the few things I needed. Then the UI got cluttered, core function suffered, I didn't pay attention until recently about the company, or the company that bought the company (my mistake, that would have raised a flag). But I was still getting what I needed, and didn't mind paying for the Personal level sub. Then I got a mail, telling me about all kinds of new great stuff that I had no interest in that was supposed to soften the blow of my subscription almost doubling. It was doublingly aggrivating to find that all methods of communicating with the new company are non-existant. Frustrating and annoying. So yeah, I'm looking at the competition this month. I'd have to be a fool otherwise. But apparently the app and company aren't what I bought into 24 years ago actually isn't the same company (certainly) or app (development focus) any more.

WTF?

I'm also upset about the Notes product that is adding more function that has little to nothing to do with me keeping notes and deciding to double the price of my subscription. Looking at the competitors who can import my Evernote data. Who did you go with?

Worse, the phone app (Android at least) has no rotate command! To correct this ridiculous rotation I have to go to the desktop app.

I've been using Evernote for years, and I'm still amazed that there is no way to quickly create a new note in a separate window. No, the drop-down create note doesn't count, because if you want to move it around the screen you have to open the full Evernote window (easiest way is to use "Find" keystroke, which is ridiculous as I use "Find" more to open the main window to do something useful than I actually try to "Find" anything. There should be a keystroke to bring up a simple empty note window. Alternatively there should be a "New Note in New Window" command in the Evernote menu bar menu. Really, it's embarrassing you haven't done this before. Are you still developing this product, or are you just waiting for someone to provide me with a better app?
