UPDATE: I really want this app to work but the flaws continue. Notifications still do not work on my iPhone XR and it is impossible to set an end date for reminders. I notification # will appear on the icon but that forces you to find the icon. I want lock screen and home page reminders. PREVIOUS REVIEW: I have notifications on for the app and my first/trial photominder failed—no notification. I should have paid attention to the one star reviews. I’m on iPhone XR with latest iOS update installed. I truly wonder if the 5 star reviews are phony. Adios $2.99 plus tax. Why doesn’t Apple’s reminder app allow photos?!

I use this app for all sorts of things but one of my favorites is to track my stuff. I loan things out to friends and family often, but I forget who has what or even that they borrowed it. Now I snap a picture of whatever I am going to loan and enter "Borrowed by John Doe". If there is a promised return date I add that to the reminder. If that date passes, I get a push notification. I then share the reminder via email right from the app as a gentle nudge to the person I loaned to. Now when I can't find my favorite wrench I go scan PhotoMind to see if I loaned it out.

I use reminders all the time, so I was very excited about this app! However, I was not impressed at all. Unless I am missing something, which is possible, I saw no way to change the alarm sound or volume. The alarm itself is a single, short sound that I totally missed! It was once and done and, unless I looked for it, I never would have noticed it again. Very pointless for a reminder, if it's so easily missed! This app is a waste of money for me.

Snapping a photo is better than typing. Dates are great, but the photo adds the details for home repair and maintenance reminders that I used to have to scramble for every time. The recurring alert feature is nice for changing air filters, oil in the mower, checking tires, flipping ceiling fan directions, winterizing, when to fertilize.
