Evernote to limit free accounts to two devices, raise prices for paying accounts

Moving on to more news about notetaking apps. This time, though, this might not be something you’d want to hear. Evernote is dialing back access to free users (a.k.a. Basic accounts) and just allowing access to it from two devices. Aside from that, they’re also raising prices for Plus and Premium price tiers for new subscribers. For Basic users, you have “at least 30 days” to work out which devices you’ll have working with your account. You can check this link to remove or manage the devices associated with your Evernote account.

As for the price hike, it seems not all users will be affected but you will be notified if you are. Plus plans jump to US$34.99 per year or $3.99 per month (from the previous $2.99) and Premium plans jump to $69.99 per year or $7.99 per month (from the previous $5.99). Evernote said plainly that they’re doing this to help maintain the quality of service they offer.

Google Keep update automatically arranges notes by topic

Google’s free note-taking app is getting more and more intuitive. The app now instantly arranges your notes according to topic, such as food, quotes, books, etc., and then lets you search by keyword. It’s a simple way to organize what can be a jumble of notes if you use the service religiously. It’s coming to both the iOS and Android apps as well as on the web version of Keep.

Microsoft has reportedly decided to drop the "messaging everywhere' feature in Windows 10's Anniversary edition. The feature sync's messages across all your Windows 10 devices and PCs, similar to what Apple's iMessage and Messages apps have done for years on iOS as well as Mac devices signed into a specific email address. 

The feature is supposedly enabled by turning on the "Send texts on all my Windows devices" enabled users to send and receive text messages from the Messaging app on their computer that synced directly with the app on their phone. There's no ETA on when this feature will grace Windows 10 devices.
