New iOS mobile app UI is a huge step backward

[great2bnaustin 6]

Love the speed of the new iOS mobile app I had forced on me today, but the UI is a huge step backward. 

I have a tag for important notes. With the previous "widgets" home on iOS those important notes were on screen. Now it is three clicks to get to those notes, notes-shortcuts-<tag>.

Bizarrely, the original widgets home is accessible if I go to settings-widgets, but no way to return to this as the home screen,

Love the responsiveness of the new app, but to move my important notes from being on the home screen to buried in three clicks is too far.

Give me the option to keep the original widgets home that I can access in settings-widgets and I am good,

Not sure if iOS have widgets but on android you can stick a shortcut widget on your phones home screen and get to them with one click.

Yes I use it all the time.

EN offers on iOS in total 7 widgets for the iOS Home Screen. They replace many possible widgets that are available on the "old" app Home Screen.

Unfortunately the one OP was using in the app is not among them.

Thanks for validating. The frustrating part about this is that the old widget screen still exists. I can access through settings, but it is also three clicks to get there. Now I have task and calendar buttons that I never use, I use tasks in notes, not in a master list, and I don't use calendar. This release is advertised as reducing clicks, but for me it is adding 2-3 clicks to my most common use cases. 

Keep the old home as an option or allow made the buttons at the bottom of the new home changeable.
