I'm seeing the "notes with 0 task" on the browser version, too. I'd assumed it was just another annoyance-level bug, and was going to go in and start pruning. Thanks for the warning; I hope this gets sorted out for you.

Peter - these videos look interesting; they're using the new version 10, so they're appropriate. The playlist seems to be in the wrong order, tho... https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAzfmm1gS2_W4wx0eCYd6xFgAlWrNAyWy

That's the ticket! And when you find a search is bringing up too many records, you might create a second tag; "notes" and another one, "advice" and add them to relevant notes. Then you can filter a search in advance - "covid AND advice". What's more you can "save" your searches, so you can pull them up from the menu bar. Yes indeed! They are over in the left margin, just beneath "notebooks". I'd suggest getting confident before going too deep with tags and searches. It's worth noting that tags can be "nested", which allows you to put things in semantic order. You could have a "documents" tag with "advice", "notes" and "lists" under it, and an "actions" tag, with "call", "buy" and "repair" under that. These are just examples for clarity, like the "boxes" and "folders" metaphor. Your own tags will pop into your head in response to your actual workflow. Lastly, it's worth mentioning that Evernote itself is itself an oldie, in app terms, and has a lot of character. I started to use it heavily around 2011 / 2012, and coming back to it now it feels very much "of its time" in terms of the model it uses. This no bad thing, because it's a stable and strong one. Evernote are making a lot of additions right now, weaving in tasks and calendar links, and the homepage. This works for me, although not for some others, but they do seem to be introducing a fantastic amount of bugs. Living in Australia you'll be used to the largest and most evil looking bugs in the world, so that shouldn't be a problem, but that's another reason to go slow and steady in terms of implementing your system.

Hi, and good luck with this! Evernote is ideal for you both; it's stable and mature (like us, lol) and is built around notes, rather than links between notes, which is the fashion right now. I just returned to Evernote after about 8 years, and all my notes were still there, safe. I did return to a lot of bugs, and a lot of controversy, but these are all about the new features / features taken away, which won't affect you. I'm still seeing loads of bugs, but they are all in the "home" and really not that important. Notebooks and tags are easier to explain in evernote than in some other apps, because in evernote you can't keeping nesting notebooks - which are really folders - forever. In evernote you can put a note in a notebook - with other similar notes - and you can put that notebook in a stack - with other similar notebooks - and that's it. It's like this: I have a certificate I want to keep, so I put it in my old wooden box - that's the notebook. I find some more certificates, so I put them in the old wooden box too. I've got some bank statements, I don't want them with the certificates, so I put them in my blue biscuit tin (this is a second notebook). I know I've got more certificates and bank statements to file away later, so I put my old wooden box and the biscuit tin in the dresser - which is a stack. This keeps them apart from my recipes and my books and my music, which will go in other notebooks and then into other stacks. Notebooks and stacks are like "places"; everyone has to be somewhere, but we can only be in one place at a time! Tags are different, they are much more powerful, because a note can be "in" multiple tags. This will make finding what you want a lot easier. This can be a little harder to get to grips with, but there are some tag masters here in the forums who will help. I would suggest you start by putting things into "place" - notebooks and stacks, and when you have your evernote "house" set up, start playing with tags and searches to pull up the stuff you need. Good luck!

Same! I have a note I call my "Side Hustle" for journally jottings

Same. I see this off and on - sometimes I can scroll, sometimes I can't.

Just for the record, I've noticed that the stray duplicated items seem to be randomly allocated to different google calendars in HOME. For instance, I have a repeating item - "put the bins out" - in my chores calendar. This is repeats every week, as you'd expect, but some weeks it duplicates itself in my work calendar (red) and others in my family calendar (blue). So weird...

Yeah - I'm seeing this (chromebook)

will do!

I really like the idea of HOME, but I keep coming across bugs. I wanted to air them here before sending in another ticket, in case they're SOP, or someone has a workaround. SAVED SEARCH WORKING FROM MENU BAR, BUT NOT FROM HOME. So I made a saved search in boolean format, which I made into a shortcut, and my shortcuts are pinned to Home. It works as a saved search, it works from the shortcut, but from Home it returns "invalid tag" DUPLICATED ITEMS IN CALENDAR. I rejigged events between google calendars, so they would make more sense in the Home view, and now I've got multiple duplicated, repeating events. I cleared my cache (chromebook user; no desktop), they're not there in google, but I still can't get rid of them. When I click through from Home I get "could not find the requested event" in gcal, so there's nothing I can delete that end. 😕 I've only been back three days! But I am enjoying the workflow though. Nothing else quite feels like Evernote.

Thanks Pink Elephant, and gazumped - I actually did raise a ticket before I posted here, but have yet to hear back from support. I've hidden the troublemakers in a stack for the time being. I've now got another issue with duplicated Google calendar events, so my return to the Evernote fold isn't being covered in glory. You guys are top, though!

Thanks - not a good omen for my return 😀 The "new" Evernote does look interesting, though. I've already set up payment, since some of the new features are paywalled. I'll see if I can "engineer" it by fiddling with the cache, etc etc. Thanks again!

Hi - I'm giving "the new"EN" a test after a long time away. I've got rid of my legacy notes and have started again, but... I have two notebooks listed in the sidebar that I can neither access, unfollow or delete. They were shared with me by others who, like me, have long ago closed their EN accounts When I click on the either items I get "Notebook not found" in a red bar. They are not visible on the notebooks "page" .. But I cannot get them out of the sidebar menu! All suggestions welcomed! TIA

Google junkies - combined Android and Chrome users - may get mileage out of Connected Mind, which is an app that runs on both. Integration cross platform is great. I use it to pop a screengrab of a topic I've mapped into Evernote. Google Play link is here
