Evernote is about to seriously limit its plan for free users

The changes go into effect very soon.

    Evernote has just been abysmal lately that I took all my notes and left. They’ve been getting so annoyingly greedy that it’s just unusable now.

    • Every time I open the app it spawns a pop-up ad telling me there’s a limited time offer that will disappear if I close the ad, trying to FOMO people into buying it now

    • They slowly restricted usage on devices to just being logged into 2 at the same time. Oh, and you can’t just keep swapping between them because there’s a cooldown (buy premium NOW!11!1!)

    • They completely ruined the minimal aesthetic it had going on and are shoving random features nobody asked for like AI cleanup and AI powered search

    • They constantly bait you into trying features and then telling you it’s premium-only. They ruined the home screen but that’s okay, you can just customize it- Oops! You need premium to save your settings.

    Good riddance. No idea how anyone puts up with it anymore.

    They didn’t go out of business many, many years ago? I can’t believe I even recognized the name at this point.

    I left Evernote about 2 years ago. It was clear at the time that free users were only in the way. I can’t imagine it being any easier to use.

    Friendship ended with Evernote, now Logseq is my best friend.

    I stopped using it years ago, however during ironically a month or so ago, going through my password manager, visiting sites I no longer use, to clean up my accounts evernote got chopped.

    I’m sure most will scow at me, but I use google’s keep for personal stuff, and ms one note for work these days.
