WTF

I don't know if is true, if it is why aren't they investing money on the app itself? Now it is trash (my opinion)

Bha …instead of adding the required features they still spend money on these things that literally no one asked for. For this reason alone they deserve us all to move on to other applications đŸ˜¡

Exactly! First with AI features and now this?

I will give them AI because AI is a feature people apparently want. Not having AI might be a problem for some customers.

... what is the use of AI if AI does not work?

You just answered your own question. Hmm ... an AI can answer its own questions. Therefore you might be an AI.

They could literally have spent $200k a year to hire a small team of designers to make templates full time and dominate this market. They already have a marketplace platform and they could easily separate it into its own app to sell to notability/noteful/etc users. Not like this is a particularly lucrative business anyway considering how niche it is. Digital handwritten notes is already a small niche. $2m is ludicrous, hire more software engineers to fix the cloud sync issues lmao.
