I'm fed up, disgusted, and GONE. Every upgrade, for years, has made Evernote more and more unusable, because it is no longer concerned with mere notes, but EVERYTHING ELSE. It has begun to to resemble Microsoft—a very bad thing. I could do everything I want to do with Evernote: run a business, work the stock market, paint a masterpiece, write the Great American (or any other country) Novel—just about anything a human could want to do … with the possible exception of *****, but I haven't looked into Evernote's abilities in that area … In short, everything but just take notes. When Evernote came out, it was the best thing since tame electrons. Now, because it wants to be everything to every conceivable person, or maybe even species, it is useless for simply taking, keeping, and using notes. It's full of eye candy and features I don't need, or want, with more added nearly every month. This will not change, and I won't support it any more. Once I've transferred my notes to a more straightforward, UNPRETENTIOUS app, Evernote is gone. I hope the firewall smacks it good and hard on its way out. Maybe it will knock some sense into the developers, who have developed a monster. They must be Microsoft.

Yes, but especially with this last "upgrade." If I can find an alternative, Evernote has gotten the last of my money and support. If it's any consolation to those who are die-hard fans and supporters of the app, I have similar thoughts about Apple.

I'm not on the Basic plan, I'm on the "Plus" plan, so they are making money on me. They constantly want more for what is, for me, essentially less functionality. Most of what they keep adding just gets in my way. The Plus plan was a way around that—they can add all the "new, improved" features to the Premium they want. But now they are forcing them on those with a Plus plan, and the only way to turn them off is to pay more. I learned from history that one does not pay the Danegeld.

Just updated the iOS app. Had a bunch of things I didn't want shoved on me, and the only way to get rid of features I DO NOT WANT OR HAVE THE SLIGHTEST NEED FOR is to upgrade to premium and get even more things I neither want nor need. I've been using this app less and less, and this is about the last straw. I need a way to take and organize notes quickly, and Evernote used to be that. Now it's full of so many bells, whistles, and eye candy it's almost useless. That's bad enough, but the not so subtle, passive aggressive attempt to force me to pay more to get rid of things I neither need nor want is just about the last straw. Looking for an app that isn't motivated primarily by greed.
