I hear you, and I have no issues with EN 'pushing' the clients on the free plan to either get in or get out. But significantly raising prices for those who have already decided to pay does not seem like a wise business practice. I've been paying customers since 2010. I currently pay USD 70 - it's my second most expensive software subscription. And they want to raise the prices to USD 130 – a 63% increase. Something does not feel right to me. I paid through all the years when the service was far from working optimally. It is true that it has gotten much better. But not enough for me to justify this price increase. This is the straw that finally broke the camel's back. No renewal this tome around.

Thanks PinkElephant. Appreciate the suggestion. I believe this can be a work around. However, for everyday use I don't think it would be a suitable substitution, obviously, for my oen needs. Might be the perfect soluition for somebody else. Thanks a lot. m.

I would absolutely love the possibility to collapse text. Dropbox Paper's implementation is quite good. Anything under a heading (#, ##, or ###) can be automatically collappsed and a link to that section is available. Also, this automatically creates a navigation pane, like Google docs does. The value of this approach, to me and our company workflow, is that it allows us to create content, discuss it 'live' on the document with clients, and only show the part we are currently focused on. On longer notes, it also is much easier to navigate.

I hear you. I'm on the same boat. None of my current 5 Active work projects are on Evernote. For what it's worth I tested Notejoy, which is interesting. And I landed in Dropbox Paper, mostly because I was missing dearly the realtime collaboration features. It has no clipping, so it does not cover my needs for storing reference information. I am still using some of Evernote for this, and for new projects I'm using Bear. In a matter of months, once I complete old projects that started in Evernote, it will only serve as an archive and I will drop my paid subscription. Lack of update, delayed delivery and no visibility of what I need moving forward finally drove me to change. It's a petty...

BTW, I forgot to mention something important. Paper for iPad has integration with Apple Notes, so within a note you can open a handwritten portion and leverage all Apple's note functionality. perhaps not the bet implementation, but works and solves the problem. In this link there is a PDF export of a Paper Note where I evaluate a lot of the features briefly to see what's possible in this platform. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqdz8k9cu7ru0fh/Dropbox_Paper_Evaluation_Notes.pdf?dl=0

I am pretty much on the same boat. Handwritten notes in GoodNotes and PDF editing in PDF Expert. I have been trying several solutions and the last few projects I've run them in Dropbox Paper. I am really loving it. The editor is powerful, has a great collapse feature for content under titles and g great markup implementation. Collaboration is really smooth with mentions, comments and has a simple yet quite effective to-do implementation across all documents in an integrated view. Pretty much anyone can have a free Dropbox account so collaborating is in practical terms very accessible and has radically transformed the way I work. I as going to drop my Evernote subscription and the renewal got me in the middle of the process, so I have it for a while longer, but it's no longer my working space. As other have said it's a glorifies file cabinet for old notes. A petty but they've had way too much time to improve and have proven incapable of adequately executing. I was watching videos comparing Dropbox Paper and Evernote and the review said '... this is the year where Evernote will battle to regain it's position...' The video was from 2017... Nothing else to be said on my part.

I hear you it is a User Forum. But there are not many others ways to connect with them and get insights into where they are going. So dignifying the thread with a response would have been a nice ‘detail’. I am a paying user, and have not found other better way to understand the roadmap and if these expectations are potentially in their plans or not. I would like that level of clarity from a vendor I pay every year for well over 7 years...

I see your point. And I also see another point of view. Although the current strategy is clear, when there is an item that clearly has significant weight and more than reasonable time as a 'popular' request. it might be good practice from the company to share their thoughts about it. As a long time user, I'd love to stay with EN. If they tell me what I need is coming in a reasonable time, then I'll stick with it. If they say nothing, it's harder to decide. And certainly, I don't see it as a good practice of customer care. Beyond that, I agree that we each decide what we do with the current circumstances. I've been working a lot in my iPad, taking handwritten notes and mostly relegating EN as a good storage with valuable tags of content created elsewhere. I'd just like EN management to spend one of their many videos providing a longer term roadmap and clarifying if they will ever deal with pencil note-taking and PDF editing. Thanks.

Thanks. Appreciate it. I SO wish Evernote was more responsive with features and updates. I know they are working on many fronts, but sometimes it feels they are not aligned to what I am looking for, specially when it comes to the iPad – a platform I use more and more for work. The limited PDF editing, the ‘lack’ of pen support and now this make me wonder if thy are committed to this platform. I understand it’s has nothing to do with you. but just in case they are paying attention and reading the forums. Thanks again. Martin.

Hi. There may be a thread already on this, but I was unable to find it. I’m hoping to use Evernote on the iPad, and specifically open to instances of the app side by side, so I can work on two notes side by side. I take this is not working right now on Evernote. Does anyone know if and when this will be available? Is it available in Beta mode? Thanks SO much. m.

To a certain extent I agree with you. However, when a reasonable number of customers are asking for some specific functionality, which seems to represent a broader audience, then not listening to it it feels to me as ignoring your client. Of course we do not know their priorities and what they are dealing with, but silence is in my experience never the right answer. If they are reading the forums, which I would hope they do, I would like to read soothing that lets me know they heard and gives me some sort of clarity ion this is or is not a priority. That way I can make informed choices as a customer. Stay and wait or leave...
