Do you tick "remember me for 30 days" on the logon screen?

In addition to what Mike P said -- if your browser is set to clear cache/cookies upon exit (not uncommon, I always do that for security purposes) then it won't matter if the "remember me" box is ticked or now.

If the box is ticked and you aren't clearing cookies, you should remain logged-in for the 30-days.

 Why didn't Evernote put an Apple Calendar option? 

Google makes it far easier to interface with their calendar than Apple does. I use Apple calendar myself so I'd love to see Evernote include that in the future, but it makes sense that they started with Google.

I'm running with a cancelled Premium account that auto-upgraded to Personal   
I got the same message trying to upgrade to Professional

Please let us know what you hear from Support

Support won't/can't help... I went through the same situation myself.

I cancelled Premium a couple months ago (it ends tomorrow). Changed my mind and thought I'd subscribe to the new Professional. NOPE... The only option is to wait for my cancelled subscription to completely end - and then sign up for a new plan. This info is from support.

I don't even care about the cost. I'm just begging Evernote to take my money. They don't want it unless it's under their terms. It's asinine.

Yup.

It has been a while since I've set this up.  Other than sometimes taking a while for items to show up, I haven't noticed any sync issues.  

I think I did it many years ago by setting the Apple calendar to "Public" and adding the URL to Google Calendar. Didn't seem overly secure to me.

There may be a better way though, so I'll keep looking.

Create a Google calendar and tie it to your Apple calendar.  Point to this Google calendar in Evernote and your Apple calendar content will display in Evernote's calendar.

Have you actually done this? 

I'm not aware of any reliable way to sync Apple calendar TO Google calendar (it's easy to sync FROM Google to Apple though). I'd love to learn how to do so if it's possible.

Otherwise I'm with DTLow; The EN calendar feature is useless to me.

I left Evernote for Joplin 1.5 years ago and never looked back. I just visit this forum every now and then...

So, basically looking back.

The reddit sub is pretty pathetic. Half the people seem to be hawking their own app and the other half love having a whine but don't do anything about it.

If the app works well for you, I wouldn't worry about what a bunch of strangers from the internet have to say.

You summed up the Evernote subreddit perfectly.

I don't think even Microsoft was clear on this in their own minds! I think it took Evernote to come along and really define what a note taking app is, the rationale for using one, etc. And then Microsoft was like - "hey, we already have something that does this". But even then, I don't think they appreciated the potential - or maybe they decided it would just be a minor player compared to their heavy hitters and deployed marketing resources accordingly. They have the luxury of slow playing this because even if OneNote dies tomorrow, it doesn't affect their bottom line. And their user numbers don't really suffer from lack of big marketing push because everyone on Office 365 has it, and students get it for free, etc. They are in the enviable position of just trying to hit singles, knowing there will always be more turns at bat, while most of the competitors are swinging for the fences because they live or die based on this one product. 

We see somewhat similar behavior by Google. Keep has been around a very long time, in note taking app years, and they've really slow played that product. But they can step on the accelerator anytime they want. And if they neglect it, they still have the option of focusing on it next year or the year after that . . . 

You are exactly right on both counts... I remember when Microsoft released the very first version of OneNote. While they obviously knew what it was, they completely failed at explaining to us why we needed/wanted it. As such, not many of us did. I evaluated it and was pretty much "meh...".

It was until Evernote came along that I really saw the potential for these applications.

And your last point about how Microsoft would experience minimal impact if OneNote simply disappeared is exactly why I would never go all-in with OneNote. It's been around so long that I doubt it will go anywhere soon, but there's no guarantee the next CEO or product manager hired doesn't decide otherwise.

Evernote can't live without Evernote, so as long as they don't run the business into bankruptcy, I feel my data is safe.

Isn't it just as infinitely more likely that you re-used your Evernote password elsewhere

Fixed that for you.

Absolutely right, that's what I'm doing now with EN V10. Of course, I still miss some essential features, but I'm confident that they will return. So, I refuse to torture myself by switching to 'alternatives' which differ even more from legacy  EN than V10 in its current state.

Well said.

I've tried Notion, Nimbus and Joplin. Not impressed with any of them. Notion is a polished product - but it's not really an Evernote replacement (more like apples-to-oranges, not apples-to-apples).

I think the only serious alternative is OneNote, which is overall a good product -- but both times I've tried to switch to it (only for the cost savings) I came back to Evernote. I managed to stick it out for a year the last time, but I was never really happy with it.

What I have found is that even in its most basic form nothing quite gets close to what Evernote has even at this buggy moment.

Exactly.

So many messages here and on Reddit regarding alternatives. In almost every case it ends up being "Oh, you should try [Notes App of the Day Here], I switched to it after using Evernote for 10 years and it's everything Evernote should have been! It's just missing x, y, and z - it doesn't sync well and they are working on a web clipper that may be almost as good as Evernote's eventually. Their editor kind of sucks but they have a roadmap showing it may be usable in the future!"

Obviously that's exaggerated, but there is a very common trend to all the alternative recommendations.

Oh my days.... the free crowd on Reddit are going to pop a vein!!

I say good move. I'd rather my notes are kept by a company that has income and makes a profit!!

Nothing wrong with paying for what you use👍

My thoughts exactly. 

Even when a software/service is "free", I prefer a paid level or alternate product. I feel that I can hold a company accountable if I'm paying for their product (or take my money elsewhere).
