Reminders makes it easier than ever to remember the things you need to do. You can use it for all of life's to-dos, including grocery lists, projects at work, or anything else you want to track. And with iCloud, it's easy to keep all your devices in sync, so you’ll always have your reminders with you. Features Fast and easy to use • Use Siri to create reminders with your voice, or add Reminders to your Control Center or iPhone Action Button to quickly create a reminder on the go. • Create, edit, and complete scheduled reminders from within the Calendar app. • Add a widget to your Home Screen on iOS and iPadOS, or Notification Center on macOS, to view and complete reminders. • Make shopping easier with grocery lists that automatically group related items into sections like dairy and produce. Powerful organization • Smart Lists - Today, Scheduled, Flagged, All, and Assigned to Me, and Completed - automatically organize and display upcoming reminders. • Organize your reminders with tags to make them easy to find. • Custom Smart Lists automatically include reminders that matter most to you by gathering to-dos based on tags, dates, times, locations, flags, and priority. • Use subtasks to add additional detailed tasks to a reminder. • Organize reminders within a list by creating section headers; tap Auto-Categorize at the top of a list to have Apple Intelligence organize your reminders into sections by related categories. You can also try viewing sections in column view to arrange them across your screen. It’s a powerful way to visualize tasks, or even make simple kanban boards. • Save a list as a template to reuse it for routines, packing lists, and more. Share templates with others via a link, or download templates that others have shared. Be reminded when and how you want • Set reminders to repeatedly remind you daily, weekly or at custom intervals. • Trigger reminders by specific locations, for example when you arrive at home or work, or when you get in your car. • Tag people in a reminder to get a reminder the next time you chat with them in Messages. Collaborate with others • Share and collaborate on a list of reminders - everyone with access to the shared list will be able to add or complete reminders. • Assign reminders to people with whom you share lists. Intelligence • Share a webpage, note, or any text to the Reminders app and Apple Intelligence will suggest relevant tasks and grocery items from what you’re looking at. • Natural language support allows you to type phrases to create reminder settings. Try something like “Jog every other morning” for a specific, recurring reminder. Reminders for Apple Watch • Get notified and mark reminders as complete right from your wrist and automatically sync across your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Vision Pro with iCloud. • View reminders and create new ones directly on your Apple Watch. Certain features are available only in select languages and regions.

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

No hourly reminders?

**UPDATE — drag & drop gui for rearranging/recategorizing reminders is very nice 👌🏻 END UPDATE** Found reference in articles online as recent as April 2022 to an option for hourly recurring reminders but cannot find it myself in the app as of this review. This would be great to have, am currently figuring on what the best way to accomplish this will be & it’s a bummer that I’ll probably need to find some additional app to use. I wouldn’t limit such feature to hourly (as in every 1 hour) either, no reason # of hours shouldn’t be user selectable in the same way # of days is, unless there is some performance/overhead consideration. Reminders app is very useful & nicely designed overall, it does everything needed except more-frequently-than-daily reminders with minimal if any pain points in the interface. It’s an app that I use every day & helps a lot with overall organization if I make the effort to notate things consistently as they come up. I like it for keeping track of long term recurring subscription, free trial period end dates, bills that aren’t on autopay, miscellaneous tasks throughout the day that are easy to put off and forget, and so on. A shortcut to bring up the time selector directly for today reminders would be an appreciated addition 👍🏻 it’s something I do fairly often for those same-day forgetmenots & would be nice to reduce the number of taps needed to do it.

I used to love this app. I use it for everything, from work reminders, shopping list to all sorts of things. I love that you can set a timer on it to remind you on a specific date and a specific time. This thing saves my life. However the most recent update (4/22) is not so awesome. When you check off an item it hesitates before it removes it. I can see the benefit of this (giving you the opportunity to undo something you did before it disappears) but sometimes I then click it again to make sure it is selected which then deselects it and the hesitation is such that it makes it difficult to get that completed, me selecting it and unselecting it and so until I just wait until it disappears. I also don’t like that I can’t check off an item from the lock screen. Before, the reminder would come up and show as a banner and I could mark it as completed right there on the lock screen. But now all I can do is silence it and then I have to go into the app to check it as complete. This is annoying. It’s an extra step that I shouldn’t have to do. I wish they’d bring that piece back. Otherwise it’s a great app and I use it a lot. Also, i used to be able to snooze a reminder…have it come up the next day. That seems gone too. Super annoying to have to go in the app and reset it when it used to be an easy button tap on lock screen. Please fix these changes

Great App EXCEPT

PROS: I love that I can set up tasks for in the future with early reminders. I really like that I can set up custom repeats like weekly on Mondays and Thursdays. I like that I can have several different lists. I like that I can add notes. CONS: I generally look at the app in the morning so when I see something that I completed the previous day I want to show it as completed that day, not today since it may be a daily repeat and then there’s not an opportunity to show today’s completion. A solution to this could be that the app makes me go through extra steps to show that I want the completion date to be a date other than today. Occasionally when I select several items and reset the due date as today or tomorrow, the repeat is removed and this is very inconvenient because it may be a week or month before I realize that the task is gone and I have to rebuild it. The priority symbol just takes up space and makes it harder to see the actual task title. Subtasks seem like a great feature but I haven’t found a good way to make them work for me although I’ll keep trying.
