Syncing gone sour

This used to be a fabulous app, and in most respects it still is. But over the past few weeks it’s become a syncing nightmare. In my case, it’s between the OS X version and the iOS version for iPad. Working on one long document in particular, every day seems to bring new “surprises,” as in “didn’t I write about that yesterday? Where did it go?” When I search within the file, I find it’s in a "conflicting changes” addendum I didn’t even know existed. It’s fine that Evernote switched to that would-be reconciliation method from the old one (preserving the different unsynced versions of a file), but I didn’t get the memo. Worse, now that I’ve defensively taken to manually saving and syncing before moving between devices, sync discrepancies are still popping up. As I write this I’m trying to figure out how to adapt to this new order, or disorder.
