Then there's the constant visual indicator that pops up to let you know it's decided to sync. It's a messy conflict too - not just a 'here's what's different, let us help you merge', rather 'here's one big whack of text and there's another, you're on your own'! I use Trello a lot too and that thing always plays nice with device syncing. I'd edit on a device then for some reason it wouldn't sync cleanly or it'd be delayed then I'd edit on another device and end up with a conflict. Working across so many different devices, one of the things I found constantly painful was conflicts. In all honesty, there's more to me moving from Evernote than just the cost. Inevitably they would have expected some degree of subscriber exodus by making this change, perhaps this segment of the market just isn't a priority any more. Yes, Evernote needs to make a dollar out of this thing but they had commercial 'Plus' and 'Premium' plans before and the 'Basic' plan was part of the freemium model. Read through the responses to the tweet above and you'll see that as I suggested there, people get kinda cranky when you take something away from them. It's normally $50 a year or $35 according to the discounted prices listed on their blog but that's not really the point.

To be clear, you can still sync across all your devices but now it'll cost you.

Know what people *really* like, Taking something they've used for years then crippling it unless they pay /aDpsSKXeRJ- Troy Hunt June 28, 2016 The ability to simply fire up a device and have access to everything is important to me but unfortunately, that's all coming to an end:

For me, 'devices' means my iPhone, iPad, desktop PC and a couple of laptops. Anything sensitive goes into 1Password, this is just everyday notes about things I want easy access to across devices. Nothing heavy duty, just basic notes that I collect around things like conference talk ideas, code snippets some recipes I often make and other rather mundane things. I've been using Evernote for about 6 years now.
