Feedly to Evernote

Feedly and Evernote are two of my most heavily used apps. Feedly is my RSS reader and Evernote is my scrap/note book. Recently Feedly offered an easier way to save content to Evernote. There was simply a button that executed this action. The Feedly feature I use presently takes advantage of an Evernote feature that stores information sent to an Evernote email address.

I do most of my reading using the iPad. When I attempted to use the Feedly to Evernote transfer I kept encountering an error message. No specific explanation for the error message, just an error message. I did eventually determine that you must purchase the Pro version of Feedly to enable this storage option. Feedly certainly does not owe me a free feature, but the app should explain the requirement for payment rather than generate an error message. It is obvious when attempting the same transfer on a laptop.

One comment about the Pro version of Feedly. I have this general complaint about many services – the gap between free and the lowest paid version of many services is too great. I am not going to pay $5 a month to use the automatic transfer to Evernote feature over the email method. I understand that other features come with the Pro level, but this was the only feature that seemed useful to me. Perhaps what I have in mind is too complicated to execute, but $60 a year for a more convenient method of interconnection of services seems too expensive.
