An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Evernote was the benchmark for cross-device note storage for 10 years. After the ownership change it degraded: the iOS app loses text during active input, regularly signs out of the account, and review prompts interrupt work. Long-term storage and search across 18,000 notes still work. As an active daily capture tool it is unreliable.
