For those using the app "Evernote", this article may be of interest.

The title says it all. I came across the linked article on The Verge:

When Evernote began nagging about the subscriptions, I switched over to OneNote for my paltry note taking needs and have no use to pay a premium (even reduced) for Evernote.

I agree, Ashwin.

I think the concern some people have is that the loss of several top officials and the sudden reduction of charges may herald "a downward spiral" in the fortunes of Evernote - either leading to its demise or, more likely, to its being bought out by another company whose business case and ethos may be very different from we have come to expect.

Whatever, I thought it reasonable to draw people's attention to the linked article.

I know a lot of Evernote folks switched to OneNote with the pricing change. Even Skitch, before Evernote bought it, was a useful app and then it became annoying to use. The problem is making money on these sorts of apps. Especially when big companies like MS release a free version of an app that does everything you're doing.There is no brand loyalty here.

My guess is that if you price it reasonably, people will pay, but $70 is a steep price to pay for an app to take notes when TextEdit might be fine for you.

As a follow-up to this story, TidBits has published an article showing how to migrate Evernote Notes to Apple's Notes, OneNote or Bear - if someone wished to consider this option:
