So far so simple and reliable, fingers crossed. (But only 4 stars until it also does location-based reminders - still stuck with Apple for those.) ### 5/5 — Best reminders app for the busy *2017-03-30, version 1.2.3* Very simple and efficient. Just want you need for a reminder, no clutter no waste of time! Keep it up team. ### 5/5 — Retired Flunky *2017-03-27, version 1.2.3* Love it. Simple, quick. Keeps things in my thoughts so remember them. Wish I had this years ago. Would be nice to be able to add select group of others like someone else suggested. Nothing fancy. Good job! ### 5/5 — It helps you remember! *2017-03-19, version 1.2.3* Simple and straightforward interface. Write it down. Say when you want to be reminded. Not meant to be a task list, IMO. But great for simple reminders of things to do later. If you don't heed the reminder though it won't remind you again. Use it for it's use case and you'll be happy. ### 4/5 — Please add share sheet support *2017-03-17, version 1.2.3* URL String App Store page etc ### 5/5 — Simple, elegant *2017-03-08, version 1.2.3* I love how focused this app is; typing on this is just as quick as asking Siri to remind you of something (& chances are it'll actually be spelled correctly ;) Love the customizable snoozes ... looking forward to pairing this with the Mac app! ### 5/5 — Later *2017-02-18, version 1.2.3* Simply Fantastic ### 5/5 — Great app. *2017-02-05, version 1.2.3* Simple to use and very useful. Well done! ### 5/5 — Yes *2017-01-29, version 1.2.2* Yes ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-01-23, version 1.2.2* I hate todo apps. I record tasks and then forget about them. I never want to open a task app because it reminds me that I'm in the process of failing to complete a job. This app is different. I record when I'm going to take care of an app and it reminds me to get on it. That is a good app philosophy, in my book. So I recommend this app for iOS and OS X. I have both. One suggestion: can we get a "done" button somewhere so that I can more easily dismiss things that I've done? Keep smiling and get this app. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-01-01, version 1.2.2* Handy app for those quick reminders that I don't want to go through a lot of buttons and screens to schedule but I don't want to forget. I use it frequently and have not had any problems with it. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2016-12-31, version 1.2.2* works well across platform on the Mac as well love the remind me on desktop feature ### 4/5 — Great App! *2016-12-20, version 1.2.1* It just works which is all you need it to do! Like the minimalist design too ### 5/5 — I have to agree... *2016-12-12, version 1.2.1* This simplistic APP can take down all those reminders like calling someone, doing something, going somewhere, etc., LATER... ### 4/5 — Zen-minimalist in the good sense *2016-12-06, version 1.2.1* No bells and whistles. Just what you need to get reminded later. Voice recognition would have made it even more useful. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2022-07-01, version 1.4* Where do you choose the time? Can you add notes? Reoccurring. There is not a lot to this app ### 1/5 — Must sync with Reminders/Calendar app. *2016-11-07, version 1.2.0* I actually purchased the Mac app also thinking it would sync to Apple system apps. It doesn't... therefore this is useless for the most part as u will need to re-enter the Later item into Calendar app. All the way around you are much better off with the Apple built ins. I can't even believe this works the way it does. One star is truly overly generous. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing even after being reinstalled *2016-11-06, version 1.2.0* This might be a good app but I will never know because as soon as I launch it, put in some information, and go to save it crashes. Running iOS 10.1.1, the latest and rebooted phone. Save your money ### 1/5 — Argghhhh *2015-05-05, version 1.1.3* Lost ALL my notes after recent update. You realize how important some of those reminders are?? :( ### 2/5 — I was loving it, but now it crashes way too often *2018-02-11, version 1.3.1* I wrote a rave review, but the crash and need to re-install cycle has become worse and worse, to the point where I am looking for alternatives. Nothing that I like as much so far, but Later has become virtually useless. Very sad, as it is otherwise close to perfect for my needs. Elegant and efficient when it works. ### 2/5 — Ni concept - No sound or alert *2016-11-11, version 1.2.1* The design is fresh, handy and intuitive... but the alerts I set never rang or anything!! I have full notification set and even uninstalled and reboot -- doesn't work. 😕 ### 2/5 — Needs to use iOS *2016-11-05, version 1.2.0* This app would be massively useful if it used iOS Reminders. However, it does not. Change that and it's with more than a buck worthy of five stars. ### 3/5 — Abandoned? *2023-08-13, version 1.4* I’ve had this app 7 years. It’s always worked well but there was room for improvement. It always lacked a search function which is necessary if you have more than 25 reminders. I start each reminder with an emoji so I can more easily group or find what I’m looking for. Some of the functions are confusing as the app doesn’t understand the difference between today’s and tomorrow’s afternoon or evening very well. Lately syncing between devices has been hit and miss. 4 years since an update so I assume the app has been abandoned. I’ve duplicated my list in another app just in case Later stops working or vanishes from the App Store when I’m ready to replace my iPhone. ### 4/5 — Dark mode? *2019-01-17, version 1.4* Give me dark mode and I’m set ### 4/5 — Kills all other reminder apps *2018-04-22, version 1.3.1* Super simple, options are great. If we could get a reoccurring setting, competition would be eliminated ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Such a genius ideas *2022-01-12, version 1.4* It's absolutely perfect exactly what I needed. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2020-09-11, version 1.4* So simple and thats why it makes me want to use it. The ONLY reminders app i want to use. Thanks! ### 5/5 — From good to great *2018-10-24, version 1.4* With the latest update, this streamlined reminder app reaches its potential. Highly practical and useable. ### 5/5 — So far, so good *2018-10-11, version 1.3.1* The simplicity and practicality is impressive! I even included this app on my blog on app review. 👌 ### 5/5 — So useful! *2018-09-21, version 1.3.1* It’s so simple, hands down best To-Do list/reminders app mixed into one. It really makes me feel like I’m on top of things! ### 5/5 — So easy and quick! *2017-10-18, version 1.3.0* I started looking for a new reminder app when the built-in one on my iPhone stopped working properly. I am so glad I found this! The ease and speed of adding a reminder is so amazing! Thanks for thinking outside the box. ### 5/5 — Awesome, but needs a safari extension *2017-09-29, version 1.3.0* I find this app very useful and much more intuitive than any other app I've used over the years, but one of the things I find most lacking is some sort of a safari "share extension" which would allow me to remind my self to check out certain links/sites later (similar to the Mail To Self app) Update: thank you devs for listening and implementing this feature finally I can close my safari tabs ### 5/5 — A reminder app that I actually love to use! *2017-09-07, version 1.2.4* Not cumbersome, not full of aggravating sub lists, no neon colors and doesn't divert my (pitifully short) attention span with a bunch of steps. I am especially happy that I don't need to choose a specific time for my reminder unless I want to & it's great to have the option to go back & put in a specific time later. Excellent work...thank you!! ### 5/5 — Indispensable! *2017-08-24, version 1.2.4* I have been waiting years for a App like this. I wouldn't know what to do without it. I use it every day on all my devices! ### 5/5 — Quick & efficient *2017-04-23, version 1.2.3* Great app to quickly jot down ideas or tasks you can't get to right away --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
