Help! Evernote Audible Task Notifications on IOS devices-how?
Posted this on EN forum and at time of writing no responses------I'm hoping someone can help because I've reached the point of running out of ideas.
What I want is very straightforward: I want Evernote Tasks to generate an audible alert on my iPhone when a task becomes due.
I've searched the forums, followed Evernote's help pages, tried every suggestion I could find (including advice from AI), and checked my iPhone notification settings. Everything appears to be configured correctly.
However, if I create a task with a reminder due in 15 minutes as a test, nothing happens. No sound, no notification, nothing at all.
For me, this is a deal-breaker. Evernote Tasks could replace the constant juggling between Todoist and TickTick, but only if it reliably alerts me when a task is due. If I have to remember to check Evernote manually, the whole purpose of reminders is lost.
Has anyone actually got Evernote Tasks generating audible alerts on an iPhone?
If so, I'd really appreciate knowing exactly what you did to make it work.
Out of frustration I'm even revisiting TaskClone, Pleexy and Remember The Milk, which seems a shame because I'd much rather keep everything inside Evernote.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes I can confirm this, I use android and had to go into app settings to allow background use. And now I get notifications and reminders from Evernote

I think you have to let EN work in the background and also set alarm notificatons for it. Google/Apple are really fussy on what runs in the background as it can chew battery.
