Thank you to monday.com they're a very innovative and rising star in the productivity space
So it's great to have them as a sponsor. So we're back with some software news here on Software Pulse
So as I mentioned before this will be the last feature before I go on vacation so many apologies
Um, but it's a good point to ask you guys
If you have any feedback on software pulse obviously the animations we're working on than anything else things
You'd like to see apps you'd like to hear about
Maybe you want to change the style up a little pop them in the comments below
We're really open to adapting this section as it's only a weekly news segment
So without further ado, let's dive into this week here on the software pulse
so first off is evernote evernote have adapted their pricing a little I definitely on the UK side and they're showing a
per month pricing for Evernote premium
So this new pricing adaption is for premium, of course a couple of months ago
We lost evident Plus which was the middle bracket between basic and premium and now premium is for pound
99m months I'll include the u.s
Pricing below but this is a sort of a slightly different adoption
Than many people going for the yearly accounts on the premium for Evernote
so it's a big change monthly is definitely a different story for Evernote and they've also updated their
Yearly pricing for business. So now per user it's 109 pound
So that's actually good to see a nice adaption there. So next up in news is Google Tasks
Google Tasks had now
The lineup in G suite so that means any Google Apps
users will now get access to Google Tasks as a core experience of
Their setup and that's sweet. So that's a really nice addition. Of course, Google Tasks
I can definitely see rolling out on web very soon
And I believe they're going to be adding more and more functionality to it as time goes on as well as how Microsoft to do
sort of rally on I believe they're very similar in style and
Definitely company smells. So let's see how that pans out. So next up is Google Calendar
So Google's obviously and a good week Google Calendar have released a new
out-of-office feature allowing you to set out of office times and they could be for weekends or
even holidays but during this period of time it will stay tuned your calendar that you are clearly out of office and you cannot be
Booked and this is helpful for many of the new applications coming out allowing you to book through Google Calendar
Making it a bit more aware that this is your own personal time now
It's great as well because you can now set working hours which makes it a bit more definitive
Especially if you work with different time zones and different clients as well
So next up is Zen kit Zen kit. The pablor project management resource has released eight new languages
So that becomes more available and widely available
In those eight languages, so it's definitely worth checking them out. If it's one of the languages that meets your criteria
So ticktick have a brand new theme and that's the world cup theme at the moment. It's to russia
2018 well camp and ticktick have jumped on board with that. You can definitely access that in the pro experience
I'll definitely check out and add that in the description
If it's something that you can get on the free account, too
And finally, we had a big outage this week with slack slack was out for about three and a half hours
which doesn't seem a long time but pretty much all workspaces in slack were out which made a
Huge issue for a lot of us and worldwide customers that use slack. Of course, we hear that
I believe it's only eight million users or daily users of slack which seems a little low still but still a map
Imagine how many issues that caused for the workplace?
the outage went out for three and a half hours and they stated everything on social media and
Even two days after there was in small outage as well
So there was a couple of bugs creeping in the system, which I definitely think they'll be getting fixed
So guys that was this week here on the software pulse some nice adaptations, but not really any large future releases
So do keep your eye out of the next three weeks and do ping me on the Facebook group if you do see something there
Anyway guys a huge huge. Thank you for stopping by today
