Task reminders

[Chris Booker 0]

I have just been getting into using taks to organize my life. I'm not sure where the reminders show up for my tasks. When I set reminders on notes that I created, I received an email notification, but not for task reminders.  I have email notification set for my reminders. 

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

In settings, then preferences you can navigate to change preferences for tasks.  Check the automatic task reminders and choose your timing.  Make sure notifications are allowed f or EN on whatever OS you're using to allow desktop notifications.

@Chris Booker You should receive mobile and desktop notifications for the reminders you've set on a task (assuming you've allowed notifications from Evernote on your specific OS). We are looking into implementing a daily email for Tasks that are due.

Thanks to both of you. 

A daily email would be helpful. When I was using notes with reminders, I did get a daily email for my reminders which I always found helpful.

Agree.  Daily email reminder would be nice (such as the one I get each day from Google with my calendar events of the day).  I am still finding that I use my iphone reminders for most of my quick and dirty reminders eg: buy milk, call Bob.  I can do this within seconds by voice ie: "hey siri, call Bob tomorrow at 9am".  I also like the fact that those reminders come through on my phone with a long and very audible tone that I can hear from 3 rooms away.   If I set a reminder on EN it makes my phone beep once (softly) and then stays as a banner on my screen.  The advantage of the EN reminder is that it remains linked to the note and I can bring up the note instantly by pressing the banner.  However, 90% of the time I do not hear it and that can be a problem.  Younger people tend to be glued to their phones 24-7 and are instantly aware of every little notification that arrives.  Furthermore, their ears are better and they can hear that soft little tone when a reminder arrives.  Older people often spend the entire day away from the phone and their ears don't pick up delicate little beeps.  So the long and blasting reminders I get from Siri have an almost zero chance of getting missed.
