Evernote was a great application, and paying for features was not a problem (at least not for the reasonable ones among us). The problem was the the application kept growing and getting slower, more bloated and ugly. In my case, it got replaced by lower-friction apps which were better designed.
Natural selection at work, I'd say.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoMy problem with it was that I typed things and Evernote would just delete them on sync.

- slantaclaus 7y agoIt’s so weird I use Evernote precisely because it does not and has not ever lost any note I’ve ever written across dozens of devices over over 7 years

- erikpukinskis 7y agoIt’s not that weird. Whatever the error rate, there will be a distribution of people who never encounter errors and some who get them often.
- rando444 7y agoI think it's a problem of management not knowing what to do with developers once you have a solid stable product. Without proper direction people just keep adding features that are only used by a tiny subset of the userbase, and you end up with a bloated application that's slow to use because it's full of functionality that nobody uses. And of course, you still need to pay those developers, so you shift the burden onto your userbase through ads or fees, making your application less appealing. WinZip was a good example of this.
