> if the church invented the notion of marriage

It didn't. Specially not the Christian church. The Christian bible was the basis for the christian religion. It was written before the religion existed. And it already mentions married people.

We have evidence of marriage going back to the 2300's BC. And it probably existed before that, we just didn't find the evidence yet.

I think they BUY mobile apps.

Their modus operandi seems to be:

1) Buy successful mobile app.

2) Increase the prices to insane amounts.

3) Profit off of the people still using the overpriced app.

4) Use the profits to buy another mobile app.

They probably intend to keep the app running. And nothing else.

Not only decent, Evernote was great before they ditched their native apps.

4. If you're going to do the rewrite, don't take many years working on it, just to release a broken product missing lots of core features.

5. If you're releasing a broken product missing core features, don't take many YEARS after release to un-brake your product and build some of the missing features again.

Most EVERNOTE users wanted it? I sincerely doubt that even 20% of Evernote users want that.

People that want a collaborative Docs app already have Google Docs. Evernote is mostly a "digital cabinet". It's where notes and documents go to die (in a good way).

I think number 1 could be done, but not like Evernote did.

It's been what? 3 years since they released their javascript app, and they still didn't rewrite some important old features. Just last week we got back the option to start writing a note in the title instead of the body.

3 years!

I could write an entire Evernote competitor from scratch in 3 years, as a single developer (as a javascript app, not as multiple native apps).

And they STILL don't have reliable note-synching.

It took them too long, and their app is too crappy. But a GOOD rewrite would have worked just fine.
