Almost impossible to edit a note as iPhone Evernote goes through spins and hoops trying to synchronise the device with itself

Type a few words, then Evernote decides it's time to synchronise and block keyboard input. Keep trying like this for a couple of minutes, get a few "synchronising, are you sure you want to edit now?" messages as well. Almost impossible to actually type text in a note.

I haven't seen that message before
Generally, minimal data is maintained on mobile devices, so syncing is fast.
Do you have offline notebooks or a backlog of unsynced notes?

You could switch to Airplane mode, and let the syncing proceed later
Make sure you have background sync turned on (Settings>Evernote)

Thanks for your response. Something is definitely very wrong with the iOS app on my iPhone at the moment. No offline notebooks or unsynced notes. I'm just trying to edit a note and type a couple of words.

I've now bought Premium and contacted support.
