Great app! Highly recommend!

I have been using this app for years now to remind me of so many different things such as appointments, special dates, when to take prescriptions, when to make a special phone call, and so many more different reminders. If I want to remember something on a future date I enter it. It's so very easy to use. I can delete reminders that are finished to keep it cleaned up. I can set option to repeat it regularly or as a one time reminder. I can add a note. Adding a phone number creates a link to the phone app to directly dial it. Adding new reminders is easy. Editing existing ones also easy. I'm 74 .. At my age it is good to have a tool like this, even though my memory is still good and in tact, I use this app so I don't need to worry about forgetting important things having to do with a time line. Plus these reminders are saved automatically in my iCloud account so I won't lose the list.
Best reminder app I've ever used.

Life requirement

If you don’t have this app or something like it then you simply aren’t doing as well as you can. So much to remember and so many responsibilities to yourself and to others we humans simply need help such as this to keep track and stay on top if ever that’s possible of our duties and our lists from groceries to bucket. Like anything there is always room for improvement. No doubt that will be ongoing as it is with everything worthwhile.

Excellent app

Apple reminders is excellent in its execution of a to do list.
I have used multiple apps for this same purpose over the past 10 years. None other offers as seamless integration between devices nor the flexibility of categorising tasks.
Further, the ability to synchronise with other task apps such as exchange allows for congruence between personal tasks and work based projects.
Again, iCloud’s upload functionality works so effectively. I found myself neurotically trying to get other platforms to sync. Not the case here.
Please continue the excellent work.

Great recent updates; Few suggestions for future

A nice app that I use regularly. It has many good features and is not buggy. A few suggestions for Apple developers:
1. Well done incorporating reminders into iCal!! Would like the ability to hide completed reminders in that view, and even a toggle on/off reminder view in iCal iOS (where space is less) would be ideal.
2. Would like the ability to print iCal calendar(s) with Reminders in one view, preferably separated so timed appts are separate from reminders, to see all to-do items plus appointments on one page. I would use this for daily, weekly, and even monthly views printed out.
3. Great recent update allowing Reminders view in customizable columns! However when i create a smart list of reminders for this week, those columns headers disappear and therefore there is no organization. Would love to be able to maintain the column headers on smart lists, plus on all is/ios devices.
Thanks for a great app! Yet another example of a reason to be an Apple user!

Reminder App - a timesaver

I love using this app. I jot down everything that comes to mind to action later. This helps keep on top of it.

Why you should start using this app?

This app is great for Reminders because you can like mark your friends birthday for years like there and you can go to like a bunch of years. I didn’t check to see the marking but you can go to 2025, 2026 probably and because you can schedule us certain time and the best part is like if you have like I don’t know something to do and you know you will forget or something or if your mom tells you to make sure you, tell her that we need to go to the gas station and pick up the milk. You can set a reminder if she saying we’re leaving like 8 AM. and you would just like said it for I don’t know probably like 815 or something because like that’ll just be a good time so it’s just you so now you won’t get in trouble because you forgot so yeah so that’s why I give this a five star. It’s like pretty useful when you think about it like you I don’t know forgetting and getting in trouble you can do that and like you can be looking forward to it if you said it or not alarm it’s like it won’t be covered up by your messages it will be brought and so as soon as you open your phone, you will see it, which is great. I hope you guys use that because it’s like really good and stuff so bye, that’s it about it

Interface and organization

I absolutely love this app, but it seems to clustered, other apps have a minimalist aesthetic approach which makes tasks and reminders seem more appealing.
Sometimes it seems like I can’t see the page due to so many reminders and all the same color and font. After completing a task when it has repeat on it won’t disappear for that day completed. Also the Today Section seems very clustered and unorganized, not to many options to collapse sections of the page. I also wish the widget for this app would be more useful and appealing for users like myself. I also wish there was a feature where you could directly input calendar alerts to reminders to remind you what time for example your meeting is. Also I wish there were different lists you can use when on focus for example set a certain list for a specific focus if wanted or something like that.

Very useful

I use the reminders as a shopping list, my whole groceries list is permanently in reminders. Turned on or off when needed. It reminds me what I might need and it’s shared with the family with location notifications. So when the adult kids or husband hit the shops they are notified of the shopping list, this bit is automatically super handy. Over the years the improvements have helped too. AAA+ from me.

It’s good but it’s missing something

Reminders lets you make lists and it works really well I recommend it for someone who had lots of busy days and needs reminding and for someone who just needs a list ( for example shopping list ) it would be the perfect solution to use for almost anything you can even name a reminder and set the date that you want the reminder to go of and time so it doesn’t go off anytime. It is just missing one little feature but I bet they will find the missing feature in to time. It is an amazing app and I recommend it .
