The company has apparently learned from at least some of its mistakes a few days before the new prices went into effect, I received an email that assured me that, as a current subscriber, I was grandfathered into my subscription level and that my annual subscription price would not change.
I wrote, in an article on Evernote alternatives, “Evernote’s reputation has suffered due to an aging interface, increased fees, a series of layoffs, and a new CEO.”īut despite everything, Evernote is still here, and now it has added several new features (including a long-overdue task listing) and has once again revamped its price structure. At the time, I thought seriously about moving on but in the end, I bit the bullet and subscribed.īy 2019, Evernote had also weathered a brief privacy upheaval, among other issues. In June 2016, prices went up, and the free version could only be synced to two devices, a limitation that alarmed quite a few of its previously faithful users and no doubt caused a number to move to other apps. By 2011 it was available in two versions: an ad-supported free version with some limitations and a $45 / year subscription with no ads and additional features. Over the years, it had added a number of good features, such as a web clipper, an improved ability to pick up text from photos, and many others.
In 2008, it offered what at the time was an innovative service: a place where you could type in or upload notes, organize them into folders, and try to get your online life into some kind of order. I’ve been an Evernote user - well, seemingly foreverĮvernote has gone through some changes, some good, some not so much.
