Yeah unfortunately when Bending Spoons buy out companies, development typically slows or even stalls and the subscription costs go astronomical. They've done the same with Komoot, Evernote and a bunch of others.
Even their website summarises how shit they are once you wrap quotes around the right word:
We acquire and “improve” iconic products. Supported by dozens of proprietary technologies and an elite team of engineers, scientists, and designers
lol honestly it wouldn't surprise me if they secretly get paid a boatload by a competitor to buy out a company, when the other company couldn't buy out their competitor due to monopoly and antitrust law. "Hey can you buy evernote and make it super shitty it's eating into our market share. We'll pay you [x] and give you 50% of every subscription by someone who uses the evernote migration feature over the next two years"
