Pretty sure this is mentioned so they can just transfer all current users to the new company. Nobody pays lots of money for the software, if you go big you get payed for bringing your customers. Looks like too many people think they can become the next Evernote.
And lets face it, the business model nowadays is for any startup to get sold after an acceptable time span, not to establish a lifetime business.

Clover does not seem like it’s trying to take Evernote’s mantle. With backlinks, infinite canvas, storyboarding and sketching it’s a different type of app.
Few developers want to be in Evernote’s shoes and have to compete with free OneNote.

@Stephen Zeoli,
Do you continue to use and like Clover?

I didn’t continue using Clover, but to be honest I don’t recall exactly why. One possible reason is the price is a little steep compared to other options… though it wouldn’t be if I thought Clover the best option. I also think I decided that I didn’t need the whiteboard feature… or at least not as it was then functional. It may have gotten better since, but the Clover website fails to list changes, so you can’t learn what’s new.

Hi Stephen,
Thanks very much for your feedback. :)
I asked because Clover looks very promising to me, and it would great to get feedback from a regular user of the software.

I agree, it would be nice to see a change log and roadmap, as well as more info about the team, etc.
I haven’t even signed up to try the app yet, but in case you or others are interested, here are some resources I found helpful while researching it:
