I’m pleased it works, Paul.
Here’s another wheeze that I’ve come across - this time from the people behind cloudhq. Instead of providing a way out of Evernote, it provides a work-around for the new limit of two devices per free account, which has upset many users. The cloudhq people (I can’t easily link to their blog because it’s behind a sign-up wall) suggest signing up to two free Evernote accounts serving three or four different devices in all, using two different email addresses (via Gmail, say), and sync-ing them together using a free low-intensity cloudhq account. (Well, I did say it was a wheeze!)

I don’t know why Evernote even keeps the free plan. They need to raise revenues, clearly. Just make the Plus plan the base and offer it for $25 a year. Anyone not willing to pay that, shouldn’t complain. Offering a free version of a service like this is a clever way to launch an app, but it is no long term business model. People who rely on Evernote should be happy to support the app to keep it around. Just my two cents.

I think I agree.

When Evernote notified users about the price increase a few weeks ago, it said the increase applied to new subscribers.
It lied.
Yesterday Evernote wrote to premium subscribers, raising the fee to $70—and granting a “substantial discount” of $10 for one year.
Thanks to Hugh for telling us about Exportnote. I’ve downloaded everything from Evernote into a folder that I have indexed into a DEVONthink database, and will use DEVONthink on the desktop and DEVONthink to Go 2 on iOS, along with Ulysses, where I have an external folder that I also index in DEVONthink, as my note taking hub.
Up to now I was annoyed but somewhat tolerant of Evernote’s behavior. Blatant, money-grubbing lies break customer trust permanently.

I wonder if Evernote is in worse financial shape than it’s disclosing. I agree with Paul’s dismay. It certainly seemed to me that EN was grandfathering existing premium subscribers.
