Ian Small has contributed a post to the Evernote blog that strikes me as surprisingly candid:

https://evernote.com/blog/looking-ahead-evernotes-priorities-2019/

He describes in some detail Evernote’s numerous deficiencies and then concludes: “. . . we’re going to make improvements to the core infrastructure that sits behind the applications you experience so that we can deliver an Evernote with the speed, reliability, and scalability that all of us expect.”

I hope he can deliver on that promise.

The proof is in the pudding. New CEO’s are usually expected to dramatically announce new, better, customer friendly futures. We’ll see. I don’t see how they can fully address the disparity in form and function of all the apps without abandoning all the client apps and focusing only on a single web presence.

Well, Apple did it. If you recall, some time ago Apple re-wrote all their main productivity apps: Pages, Keynote, Numbers. They stripped a lot of features but made everything the same across all platforms. Then they slowly added back features and added web apps. I would imagine that Evernote might do something similar…
