wow, this is amazing! Instantaneous sync, and no more note conflicts! I work on Evernote all day, across 3 or 4 devices, so this is excellent. Note conflicts were a real issue, and being able to see live edits from other platforms is great. I don't use Evernote teams but I would imagine that this really facilitates team-working in Evernote as well. Having reliable, instant sync is just great. Particularly for tasks - WilliamL mentioned that this was a particular issue, I had this problem too, but now seems to be banished with this update.

Agree that task tagging would be complex to implement and potentially confusing for users (note tags vs task tags). However I think task view saved searches could add a lot of value without requiring wholesale changes. Indeed there is scope to make tasks much more useful by improving the task view, filter and search options.

Tagging tasks is something that's been discussed / requested in this thread. I am still juggling between two work-arounds. Either adding a tag at the end of the task title, e.g. @waitingfor , or just tagging the note itself. Tagging the task title would be more useful if you could save task searches then it would be possible to quickly switch between 'tags'. Tagging the note lets me make filtered notes lists (filtering by contains active task and the tag), but then I just get a notes list, not a task list. And of course if you have multiple tasks in a single note, then tagging the note doesn't allow you to distinguish between those tasks. Other suggestions welcome!

Yes, adding the days to the iOS selector would be great. I thought it was just me who could never remember today's date - I find I almost always have to check with a proper calendar before setting a task deadline a few days in advance on mobile. I love the 'today / tomorrow / next Monday / in a week' implementation on desktop.

Thank you, that is really helpful! I didn't know this. It does seem odd that clicking on the note link directly only offers the option to select a (new) note for the task, not to open the note itself (which would be the expected action). Too many clicks, but at least it is possible to access the note from the task!

Yes, I believe the first image is from an earlier release. With the addition of 'My tasks' the tab order is consistent across different platforms and cannot be edited at present. Would be good to have different display options, including hiding 'Assigned' for those who don't use Evernote in teams. There are not many options for filtering the task view, just by due date, notebook, creator, completed... and also by flagged tasks. The latter is useful to make a sublist of important tasks I've found.

I've also switched from a dedicated to do manager to using Evernote tasks exclusively. It's far from perfect right now, but has great potential. Embedding multiple to dos in a single note allows me to have both a master list of tasks, as well as project-specific lists organised within notes. Would be great to be able to use tags in filtering tasks (filter active tasks within notes that are tagged for example, not necessarily embedding tags directly into tasks, although that would be perfect). Better ways to visualise the list would also be helpful - including a full screen option as mentioned above. There are still some bugs, for example in IOS you cannot navigate to the note from the task, when viewing tasks by 'My tasks' or 'Due date' which is an unhelpful omission. And of course recurring tasks - which are promised soon - would be very helpful, as well as an IOS task widget.

I believe that this is one of the next items on the development list - particularly now that there is an Android widget. I agree that this would be really useful - especially since there are limited options for displaying Tasks. There is still no possibility to print the tasks list, which would also be great, but in the meantime an IOS widget would enable tasks to be easily viewable. Hope this can be delivered soon!

This is a great addition! So far I'm using it to create project widgets featuring notes with active tasks relating to that project [tag (project) + task not completed]. Also a GTD application: pin notes with tasks related to a context-specific action [e.g. tag @calls + task not completed] And a general inbox for recent unprocessed notes [-tag:* + created:day-7] any other suggestions?

Thanks @PinkElephant - I had the same issue (repeated hanging of Evernote with same error message). Deleting / reinstalling did not solve the problem, but using AppCleaner to move residual files and re-downloading has solved! This seems to recur for me every time there is an EN Mac update... hope this is the last time.

.... and it's still there 😞 'Something went wrong on our end, sorry about that. Please try restarting Evernote'. But neither Restart nor Quit buttons work. Force quitting, deleting app, reinstalling... again.

I'm also having this problem again after installing 10.18.... which I rushed to install because it is supposed to be a bug fix update! I also had this exact issues with a previous install a few weeks ago. Neither Restart nor Quit buttons work, and I have to force quit the app. Deleted EN and re-downloading from App Store, let's hope the problem doesn't reappear.

I also have this bug since 10.12 update. clicking on the note link within due date tasks view opens ‘select a note for this task’ instead of showing the note itself. the app also sometimes freezes / crashes after this action.

This is something I'm experiencing across platforms (Mac & IOS). The task view by notes displays notes with zero tasks. This occurs for notes which have completed tasks. I have unchecked the 'show completed tasks' filter, so it doesn't show the completed task itself, but continues to show the note title (0) task indication, and an 'add new task' prompt below the note. This occurs even for notes which have tasks that were completed several days ago. Is this a bug? Is there a way to stop display of empty notes in the task display apart from deleting the completed task (this does make the note disappear from the task list)?

This is helpful for saving note searches / filters that contain tasks. But it doesn’t yet seem possible to save filters or searches within the tasks view? Each time you filter or search it has to be done from scratch. It would be great to be able to save these .
