Like many others, I would like to move away from Evernote. I've been using that program since 2012, every day since 2020, and it's terrible to use Evernote now. Due to numerous bugs in the applications, I am no longer able to use Evernote. Every week, I am unable to access my account; my written content is either erased or moved, and I am unable to copy and paste. Every month, I manage to find one bug - always the worst of the previous month. And the cost is going up.
