Life saver

I use this app to remember everything. Without it, I would forget.
So simple to send yourself a future reminder text.

Convenient

I use this all the time. It’s super easy to set daily reminders, one time reminders, etc. I’m rather absent minded, so being able to remind myself in the morning of something I think of late at night as easily as shooting a text is very helpful.

I like how the extra features are implemented. If you don’t need the excellent side features this app provides they really don’t clutter up the app or get in your way.

Everything(that I use regularly on this app) is clean and simple. Highly recommend this even over other built in reminder apps.

Response from developer

Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying HiFutureSelf!

Seriously helpful app

This is one I've used for years. Terrific for making sure you don't miss appointments or whatever, if you're not someone who looks at a calendar every day. Even cooler: I wasn't entirely content with the date selection wheels, and mentioned in a review that a calendar selection option would be helpful for setting a reminder for, like, months from now. The developer FIXED IT!! It's way easier to set a future date/time now. I'm really tickled.

Just grab this. You won't regret it.

Update: Pretty sure I wrote this review years ago. I STILL use this app all the time.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for using HiFutureSelf! This was really great feedback. As of version 2.5.0 you can now use the calendar selector in addition to the wheel. Just tap the selected blue clock icon, and the calendar will appear. Make sure to update to the latest version in the App Store. If it works for you, please update this review! It would help a ton!

Great app with just one problem

I like the simplicity and functionality of this app. It serves its intended purpose and I would like to rely on it. However, I have run into a problem with it. After I get a notification, I have to be careful to not accidentally enter the compose function. A common occurrence is for me to get a banner notification at the top of the screen, I swipe up to dismiss it and then later I discover the app isn’t working. I open it and see that I have somehow unintentionally entered the compose function, and as a result the app has stopped sending notifications. It would be great that either it is made less likely that I accidentally enter the compose function, or if the app continues to work even though I am in the compose function, or both. Would love to give 5 stars but I just can’t fully rely on the app working 100% no matter what

Thank you so much for this detailed note. I’d love to fix this issue, could you email me at david@hifutureself.com. What version of iOS are using? And what do you mean by unintentionally entered the compose function (screenshots would be so helpful) let’s get this fixed for you!

Wouldn’t be without this app!

Are use this app all the time to remind me of almost everything. It’s the best app I know of and so easy to use. I have recommended it to friends with no qualms at all. It’s a wonderful app.
