First and foremost, I love your content. You’ve produced several of my favorite shows over the years, and the hits keep on coming. I’d love to watch Game of Thrones now, but I can’t. You see, the only way to get your service is to be a cable subscriber, and several months ago I cut the cord.

I tried to purchase a Pandora One annual membership today through my iPhone. Every attempt was thwarted because I was repeatedly sent to the Pandora iPhone app and encouraged to sign up for the $3.99 monthly subscription through the App Store.
If I chose this route I would end up paying $47.88 before taxes every year and Pandora would only be receiving $33.52 after Apple’s 70/30 split. Now if they allowed me to buy a one year pass they would make all of the $36 fee. I understand their are rules to playing in Apple’s App Store, but to make it difficult for even the most enthusiastic of users to buy your product seems counterintuitive.
I’m glad Pandora made a profit during their most recent quarter, but if this is their best revenue generating model going forward they are going to be in trouble.

Don’t approach Evernote with an all or nothing attitude. Instead, 1) look for specific ways that Evernote can make your life easier, 2) use it for those things, and 3) STOP.
Some excellent advice. Makes we want to take the Evernote plunge once more.
