Yea, I don't like this new "Home" on mobile. I prefer the old one. I could get right to my scratchpad or calendar or tasks. There was nothing getting in my way of quickly creating a new note cause of that button at the bottom.
I'm using iOS and if Evernote want to make it faster and easier to add tasks/notes they already have that in widgets.(Btw...please make them interactive, like checking off tasks.) They could bring back 3D Touch action on the icon, although I may be one of the only ones who still like that.
