Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.

If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

Damn it. I've got a lot of stuff on there, organised and tagged.

I've thought about migrating for the last couple of years, but just left it as I couldn't be bothered.

If it's getting more expensive though, this might be the time to move.

What would be the service with the easiest migration path? Ideally one that:

  • has good automatic OCR of all documents uploaded to make them searchable

  • has good apps on Android, Windows and IOS

  • has a good import function that can retain tags from Evernote

That may be asking too much?

    One other important thought to add to my own comment.

    If I'm moving to a web based service, longevity is important. Nothing lasts forever, but if I move to another solution and migrate everything and they go out of business in 6 mths, that would suck. So it matters that where I move to is fairly solid and sustainable.

    That's why I hoped that Evernote would keep going, they charged a reasonable amount for the service.

    But I guess in the commercial world it's all about constant growth rather than sustainability...
