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

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.

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.
Hate the update!!

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! Highly recommend!

I have been using this app for years now to remind me of so many different things such as appointments, special dates, when to take prescriptions, when to make a special phone call, and so many more different reminders. If I want to remember something on a future date I enter it. It's so very easy to use. I can delete reminders that are finished to keep it cleaned up. I can set option to repeat it regularly or as a one time reminder. I can add a note. Adding a phone number creates a link to the phone app to directly dial it. Adding new reminders is easy. Editing existing ones also easy. I'm 74 .. At my age it is good to have a tool like this, even though my memory is still good and in tact, I use this app so I don't need to worry about forgetting important things having to do with a time line. Plus these reminders are saved automatically in my iCloud account so I won't lose the list.Best reminder app I've ever used.
