        After the change with the limits with the Sync devices I migrated from Evernote to Google Keep and Onenote.

        Both are better options that Evernote right now.

          I forgot to say..

          Delete the account is really complicate, you need to disable it and then contact with evernote support, but you cannot contact with support because your account is disabled.....

            I think avoiding Evernote completely sounds like the right way to go here.

              I backed away long ago from Evernote. OneNote is just so much better.

                I never found it very usable, anyway.

                  They reversed the decision after the public outcry:

                    That was fast.

                    Still seems like a lot of people have migrated anyway...

                      @BRRABill yeah I was surprised, even impressed, with how fast they realized and corrected their mistake. They must have seen an avalanche of cancellations.

                        It's only so impressive when it is because of public outcry. Of course they reversed it if customers are leaving. They didn't change it because they wanted to have a good product, they did it because they wanted to make money.

                          @scottalanmiller I'm more referring to the bureaucracy and institutional inertia. Even with a huge outcry it usually takes companies a week to respond to major fuckups like this, even if they start the process on day 1.

                            The only thing I can think of is that they had the retraction ready to go at the time the made the initial change.

                              If that is the case, that almost makes it worse... like they wanted to see if they could get away with it, but knowing they wouldn't.

                                Stranger things have happened 🙂 The positive possibility is that there were two factions in the company, one wanting the change and the other cautioning about the disaster. The compromise they came to was to float the balloon but have a plan b in place for disaster. The cynical possibility is what you describe; and attitude of "let's see if they buy it but if not here's the retraction".

                                    No such thing as a coincidence, I agree!
