Sometimes it will duplicate the whole list three times or more and I have to manually take them down . When I try to rearrange it, nothing will work or it would reset/ remove what I recently added on the list. It’s great that it pops up (sometimes) on the lock screen. ### 4/5 — Very useful! *2025-11-18, version 1.0.176* Great if you’re easily distracted like me to keep what’s important right in front of you when picking up the phone. ### 5/5 — Best Reminders Support! *2025-10-25, version 1.0.176* I love this app and use it all the time. it works great and does exactly what I need it to ### 5/5 — This has high potential and appreciate the ongoing updates to make it better *2025-08-17* This is something that should be an option natively with reminders application ### 5/5 — Simple and easy + guide *2025-03-28, version 1.0.167* One of those apps you can download and get using in the same minute, plus its free ### 5/5 — Only app that works *2025-03-19* I can’t believe there’s so few apps for live notifications. This one works great, and also integrates with the reminders app ### 5/5 — Great for memory *2025-02-16* I had a brain injury and my memory struggles and this app saves me! It’s better than just getting push notifications for me at least ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-02-04* Very good app,exactly does what it is supposed to do ### 4/5 — Bug? *2025-01-31* Love this app it genuinely is amazing, i dont really have anything to complain about other than the fact that every time i try to change the notification background color in the free version of the app, after watching the ad it doesn’t change the color or it just doesn’t give me the option to change the color, so I basically just watched a video for nothing, is this a bug? If so can you please fix this. Other than that this is an amazing app and i use it everyday! ### 5/5 — Useful *2025-01-03* amazing app! just what i needed to keep reminders on my dynamic island! ### 5/5 — Yes *2024-10-10, version 1.0.144* Helpful for work ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-09-30, version 1.0.140* Love that it’s on my lock screen to constantly remind me something ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Full screen ads even with a subscription *2026-01-05, version 1.0.179* Completely unacceptable ### 1/5 — Laggy, slow *2025-07-17, version 1.0.175* The app lags terribly when trying to add a new list item. It also doesn’t register pressing and holding an item to move while rearranging. ### 1/5 — Seems scammy so far *2025-01-17, version 1.0.162* Watching an ad doesn’t give you anything even though it’s an option for getting premium features. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-11-12, version 2.0.44* This app does not work , it’s a cool concept but it just doesn’t launch so it’s useless ### 2/5 — 😨 Mutated my Reminders! *2025-01-18* I love this concept, but when I went to edit my reminders I noticed several reminders were copied/pasted and metadata had been lost (priority, due date, tags, etc.) I had no intention of this app mutating reminders data and would have preferred a read-only solution. Would’ve messaged dev in-app and sent logs but found no clear way to do that (only asked to sign up to a Discord server). Leaving a review is my only efficient way to inform others what they’re getting into and for the dev to make it easier to provide logs. To the dev: love the concept, wish you all the best on your future endeavors ### 2/5 — Why isn't the Today list the one on the lock screen *2024-11-06* I really like this app except for one very frustrating thing. The today list has my highest priority to-dos but the reminders list is what gets put on the Lock Screen. This is the innovative feature that sets the app apart from the standard Reminders app. Please, please update this app so that a different list can be the one going to the Lock Screen. **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for your support! This issue is fixed in the latest version of the app btw. Lmk if the issue still priests! ### 2/5 — Great idea, poor UX *2023-10-25* I think you have a great idea. I do think the UX is lacking. My top concerns as a user are: 1. The ads are obnoxious. I think an ad supported model could work but I saw 3 ads in the first 3 times I tried to get a live activity to appear. 2. I enabled all permissions as requested and could never get certain parts of the app to work. Tapping on the today list never did anything. Starting a live activity never worked. Honestly there is a real potential here! I love this idea so much that if you have a Twitter, I would happily give more feedback and ideas. **Developer response:** Hey it looks like you were using an older version of Live Minder. We have since fixed this bug which lasted for a day or so (for new users). Regarding the ads, we actually disable ads when it’s the first time using Live Minder, however the bug may have made you try multiple times to get our app to work. After the initial setup, you do not need to tap any button the app (which means no ads) will automatically start the live notification regardless of if you have pro or not. (AKA the app basically has no ads 🤫) ### 3/5 — Glitches *2025-12-07, version 1.0.176* Its okay but there are issues . For example you can’t reorganise the tasks . Also sometimes the app doesn’t recognise you’ve already paid for the app ### 3/5 — Great idea but some functionality is missing *2024-12-04, version 1.0.152* Would be great if the lock screen widget had the ability to display today’s reminders only. Also, when starting live notifications for the ‘Today’ list, Dynamic Island correctly displays reminders for that day, but it shows the wrong number (i.e. counts all reminders from the list, rather than just the ones for the given day). ### 3/5 — Tolle App aber freischalten von Funktionen mit Werbung funktioniert nicht. *2024-10-03* Nach dem Anschauen der Werbung ist die Funktion immernoch nicht freigeschaltet. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! Just what I was looking for but could use a tune up. *2026-08-08* I've been trying out various reminders with live activities for that real in-my-face reminder for those little things I need ot do in the next say, half hour. There are some that are halfway decent but not perfect. Sometimes I wish they had just a couple more features or that I would be able to convert them to a longer-lasting list. So it dawned me: I should look for an app that maybe just takes the regular Apple reminders and displays them as a Live Activity list. That way I get the best of both worlds. THIS IS IT! The *only* real issue is that it's a tiny bit slow loading all of my reminders. It could be though that my Reminders DB is huge having used it for years and years so I'm wondering if it's having a hard time loading completed reminders or something along those lines. Either way, it's not a dealbreaker. **Developer response:** Hey fam! Thanks for your review! Really appreciate it! Regarding the performance issues, look out for newer versions coming in the following week(s). Major performance improvements and optimizations are underway including the very thing ur talking about! ### 5/5 — Fills A Void *2026-07-17* This is a great app that fills a gap in Apple Reminders, making sure I don’t forget my most important tasks. I hope a future update will include a feature to sort by priority, as I prefer this method in Apple Reminders. Currently, it disregards & removes the priority settings I established in Reminders. Otherwise, it is very easy to set up and works perfectly, providing gentle reminders and helping me be more productive. Although the free version met all my needs, I chose to purchase the one-time upgrade to support the developer and future improvements. **Developer response:** Thanks for your detailed review! Really appreciate your support! I’ll look into the priority settings and see what can be done! (There are some API limitations I gotta work around) ### 5/5 — Laggy, slow *2026-07-14* The app lags terribly when trying to add a new list item. It also doesn’t register pressing and holding an item to move while rearranging. **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for your feedback! This should be fixed in the latest version of the app ### 5/5 — GOOD *2026-06-27, version 1.0.179* its good！！help me more， ### 5/5 — Lock Screen Reminder *2026-06-05* Excellent app and does exactly what I need. It fixes the Apple problem with setting the widget reminder for your lock screen and is a better version in my opinion. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2026-03-01, version 1.0.179* I love this app. It’s easy and truly helps me remember things when I’m traveling by adding them to my screen! Great job! 👍🏼💯 ### 5/5 — Genuinely useful!!! *2026-01-31, version 1.0.179* Iv been looking for somthing like this for ages and its great add loads of lists direct to Home Screen…What I would like them to add is an alarm option to remind me to look at list. X x ### 5/5 — Great for memory *2026-01-07* I had a brain injury and my memory struggles and this app saves me! It’s better than just getting push notifications for me at least ### 5/5 — Fills a void *2025-11-18, version 1.0.176* Excellent app that fills a void left by Apple’s Reminders app which does not have live activities function. Does exactly what is intended to do. ### 5/5 — Absolutely recommend *2025-11-17, version 1.0.176* Love the way i can just look at my lock screen and everything i need to do is there- it actually does help me be productive --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
