Try hovering over the graphic of the assignee with your mouse.

That works... but it's not quite the same as the old system, a list broken down by assignee.

The icons in the last column are neutral, not even showing the initial letters of the names.

Are these tasks assigned to other EN users ?

No - they're assigned to non-EN-users. Do you think that makes a difference? (It didn't used to)

You would think! But here's what it looks like:

See? It doesn't say to whom the tasks were assigned - let alone break the list up by assignee which it used to do.

Thanks. I do have a professional subscription, but since just recently can't get the view I mean:

Assigned to Others

Tom

O Task1 

O Task 2

O Task 3

Jerry

O Task 4

O Task 5

How do I see it?

Thanks again!

Hello! When tasks first were a thing on Evernote, we had an Assigned Tasks view, and it listed the name of each of my delegatees  (if that's a word) and the tasks assigned to them. But now, it seems there are only three listings under the assigned view: Assigned to Me, Assigned to Others, and Unassigned.

Am I wrong? (I hope so!) If so, how can one see at a glance to whom all assigned tasks were assigned. 

Am I right? If so: how do I tell the folks at Evernote that while I have been crazy psyched with just about everything that's happened with EN in the last year, this change is a serious loss in Task functionality to those of us who delegate?

Thanks!

Hey, at this point, I'll settle for a workaround...

Will try to see if it helps. 

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 9+. The crashes are super annoying and happen occasionally when:

* clicking a shortcut from the home page

* trying to open a note (Usually it will open the note the 3rd or 4th try)

* lately, when writing notes.

This is obviously super annoying and is making my more frequently used app unusable on my tablet. 

I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice. Will try again because what else can I do. 

Any new ideas welcome!

Thanks! 

Thanks! Interestingly, cronofy wasn't listed under 'connected services' but under 'applications.' But once you sent me to the world of settings, the solution was within my grasp.

Thanks again!

All,

FIrst of all, the Cronofy to EN connection is fantastic! Turning reminders into calendar appointments is a game changer. If you don't already do it, do so. 

Having said that, I've stupidly connected EN and Cronofy twice. Now every reminder is two appointments, and that's a little messy. Anyone know how to disconnect so I can start over?

Thanks!

Pep

Update:

I've been playing around trying to figure out when the problem happens and when it does not. Now I see that:

• upper v lower case in email address matters for assigning tasks. It should not matter, right?
• When I assign tasks on any device, they are now grouped by person in assigned task view ON MY PC, which is great.
• When I assign tasks on any device, they are grouped on every device IF ASSIGNED TO MYSELF
• When I assign tasks on any device they are not grouped on phone or tablet. This is a real problem.
• Fake email addresses work as above (like rob@rob.rob) at least for a short while.
• None of the above depends on whether the assigned person has an Evernote account or not.

I just upgraded to Professional to use assigned tasks. My assumption was that I could assign several tasks to different people and then see a list of all tasks assigned to each.

But when I go to the assigned task view, they are listed one by one instead of grouped by user. That can't be right, can it?

To be clear: I assumed I would get:

Joe
Task 1 on note 1
Task 2 on note 1
Task 3 on note 4

Or better
 

Joe
Note 1
Task 1
Task 2

Note 4
Task 3
 

But instead I get:

Joe
Task 1 on note 1

Joe
Task 2 on note 1

Joe
Task 3 on note 4

Anyone else seeing this? Certainly this can't be the plan for the assigned view, right? Any ideas?

Thanks!

I just upgraded to Professional to use assigned tasks...

...but on both of my Android devices (Tablet SM-T870) and Phone SM-F707B) the assigned tasks just get dumped in the unassigned list. I tried reinstalling on my phone, but it didn't help.

Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas to help?

Thanks!

This is the issue I am having. Eventually there would be many "notebooks" with 0's in the list. Its almost a show stopper.

So I'm full in on deleting all the tasks when I get to zero. The OCD nerd in me hates deleting them, but the rest of me realized, who cares, they're done. And it's almost a catharsis now: "I finished every task in this note... DELETE THEM."

In my heart of hearts, I expect the problem to be solved.

And the overall helpfulness of tasks vastly outweighs the nuisance of the workaround! So don't let it stop your show!

No, sorry, they're not. I was so excited that the "add a new task" was gone (when I filter by notebook; feels more like a fluke than a plan) that I thought both were happening. Yes, I see how stupid that sounds.

My workaround plan is delete all tasks in a note when completed, but that's pretty weak.

Well, well, well. I see that I just hadn't played with it enough. You CAN view the task list by notebook. (View by tag would still be helpful).

You CAN decide to not see notes with completed tasks (by hiding completed tasks).

And it's no longer showing me "Add new task" in each note on the task list (though I have no idea how that stopped)

Thanks again, Evernote! This is a game changer!

Pep

First of all, thank you for tasks. A true game changer!

For me (and I imagine others), the ability to list tasks by notebook or tag would be extremely helpful. 

Much of my workflow is organized by tag or notebook, so it would be great to see all tasks in notes with tag, "this week" or the notebook labeled "B2B projects."

Also, it would be great to have the option to hide notes on the tasks list where all the tasks are completed. Also handy would be the option to remove the "add new tag" space which makes the task list longer and more unwieldy than it needs to be.

Thanks!

Hi all. After today's update (Android v 10.7.2), a weird problem appeared in my Evernote. The Notebook list went crazy! Some notebooks listed several times, stacks empty, but the notebooks listed under other notebooks. It's super weird and kind of scary. All the notes seem to be there, but the notebook list is awful.

They are fine on my PC desktop edition (version 6.25; old school), but on both Android devices: (Galaxy tablet s7 and Galaxy Z Flip) they went haywire.

They are also fine on the web.

Also fine on old Galaxy tablet s4 running version 8.13.3. So it's something with the new Android update.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, does Evernote know about it?

Thanks,

Pep

I feel you and felt the same way. My solution, in the end, was reinstall the old build which I had no problem with. 

Meanwhile I just got an S7, and EN works great... but it should've worked great on my old device too.

A day later and it worked 100%. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm trying as we speak... but it's still taking a long while.

I'm working on an Android Samsung Galaxy S7 (with 8GB RAM, so a fast device). I  marked five notebooks to be downloaded, and days later they are not nearly downloaded. They have a lot of notes, yes, but this is a LONG wait. This was never a problem with the old build.

Is there a trick to downloading the notes? I need them offline for when I'm on a plane (a rare occurrence these days, but it happens!).

Thanks,

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 running Android 10. I was (and am) excited about the new build. But when open the app on the tablet it takes 45 to 50 seconds to open. That's a long time to stare at that "Just a few moments... we're setting up your new app" screen which I see each time I open the app.

Also what's the ETA on:

* widgets

* being able to email notes (more important to me)

And finally: there are two types of check boxes, one that fills with a green X and one that kind of crosses out the item when you check the box. In the new build, a green x version turns into a cross-out version if you hit enter after creating an item. Can this be disabled? 

Thanks! And again: look and feel and note editor are great in this new build!
