I do see the new view but I also see something troubling which is that, even though my tasks are still functioning, the "Things to Do" note appears to have no tasks in it if I open it. This is on both Android and in Windows. However, if I look at the note overview it shows the first few tasks and the correct number of tasks. Is this an intentional change or is there something in my task that is causing display issues when I open the Things to Do note?

For the last few weeks, every time I start using Evernote, either to edit a note or to enter a task, after a few seconds it restarts. There has been an update since it started happening but it hasn't fixed the issue. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S10e.

I went ahead and, from the "Things to Do" note, deleted every completed task, thinking that might help to make the tasks more reliable, but it didn't. Here is what I have observed. When new tasks disappear, they are still shown with the correct due date in the "Things to Do" note - and you can see them on the same device. The same applies if you change due dates or mark tasks as completed but they snap back after a minute or so, but they are still correctly shown in "Things to Do". So there seems to be an issue with parsing the "Things to Do" note, or there is some background processing taking place that takes forever and maybe the changes will "hold" if I wait long enough. I really don't think that using a flat file (a Note) is the best way to implement a database. The items are not stored in any particular order either.

This is one of many task-related issues. In my case, I keep marking tasks as complete in the Windows app, and they re-appear as incomplete a couple of minutes later. With others, I modify the due date, which gets reversed a few minutes later. I entered a new task a couple of hours ago and it has disappeared. How do you expect people to rely on a tool that destroys data like this? And for this you are charging $130 a year. This has been happening for months, I have opened support cases, but they are closed without resolution.

I understand that. I just don't want Federico, if he is still reading this, to decide that it's not an issue if it's working for some and not for others.

It is happening to others and therefore it's an issue that needs to be fixed. I'm glad it's not happening to you.

I just tested creating a new task on iPhone and there are no performance issues. I tested it on my wife's Pixel.any there were no performance issues. So I deleted Evernote storage on my phone and logged in from scratch, and there were no performance issues. So clearly being logged in for a long time is the cause of the performance issue. Rebooting the phone didn't resolve the issue previously. Flushing storage from time to time is not a reasonable workaround since it also deletes the several note shortcuts I created on my home screen. UPDATE: After 12 hours it's now taking 10 seconds to save new tasks again on my Android phone.

That's basically what I am seeing too, except that in my case, because of the noted performance issues, it takes 30 seconds to a minute for that to happen. This isn't the first time I have seen this, by the way, I had a case on this which was closed, I reopened it. So there are two issues - one is this one, the other is the performance issue. Your issue is not a new issue but it does seem to be a lot worse with the latest release. Glad to see it's not specific to my data.

OK. Thanks. I think I forgot to save mine yesterday.

I created a task in a brand new note and it still took 20 to 30 seconds to save, so I think it doesn't matter how the tasks are saved. It seems the total number of tasks in general is the issue. It could be that the overall size of my database is the issue. I have hundreds of completed tasks. I would gladly delete them all if it could be done without having to open each one first, rather than being able to select multiple tasks at once and pressing a delete button, which isn't possible.

Syncing from mobile to server is taking a very long time too, and in some cases it seems, with tasks, that the syncing is taking place in the wrong direction, where earlier versions override changes and the tasks either reappear after completion or get unedited. I had a task take more than an hour to get to the server yesterday when I created it on my phone, and I couldn't see it on my phone either during that period of time.

Are posts here being deleted, or just disappearing? One of mine disappeared yesterday, and a post I was alerted to a few minutes ago from Eric99 is not here.

Support does answer but they make no commitment or effort to get serious issues resolved when you prove with a screen recording that there is an issue.

I did add to both cases, the one about task creation taking forever, and the one about edits not sticking. It seems to have got worse with 10.60.1, which I received 2 days ago.
