Haha glad I was able to teach you something new! Yeah, hopefully iOS 12 has more complex notification triggers.

Thanks for all the feedback! That’s a good point about turning off the stock Reminders app notifications, I’ll see what I can do.

As for iOS 11 Notifications, you can actually complete reminders from the notification. You can either force touch the notification (on an iPhone 6s or newer), or click View to see the actions for the notification. Complete is one of them, as well as “remind me in 15 minutes”.

That’s an interesting idea about filtering time alerts by location, but as of right now, iOS does not allow that granular of triggers. It’s only location or time for now, but maybe iOS 12 will be different.

I hope you continue to enjoy the app, and please let me know if you have any other suggestions!

You are right, the apps have the same feature set (although my app has slightly more modern UI). In the next few releases I plan on adding some features that Apple's app doesn't have, so keep an eye out for that!

I am planning on releasing a macOS app in the near future.

Thanks for the great feedback!

Re: urls, there's a property on each reminder for URLs, but Apple's Reminders app actually doesn't use it. I talked to the engineers behind EventKit, and they recommended I use it for my app (there may be an update where it gets set properly). This means a slight incompatibility between Apple's and my Reminder app. If you create a reminder using the Share action for my app (by clicking the box with the arrow pointing up while in Safari, for example), it should set that property properly, and you should be able to view the website in the app directly.

Re: permissions, I totally agree with you, but for this app, a lot of the permissions are required right at the launch of the app (access to reminders, notifications, and location are required for the app to be useful). I have built in some logic to prompt you when the permission is needed, but I figured giving the description of how each was going to be used would mitigate the up front prompting.

Re: delete button, the red circle icon was actually taken from iOS directly (Go to Music > Playlists > Select a playlist > Edit to see an example in an Apple app). But I'll give some thought on updating the icon to be more explicit!

Hmm that's weird. That means that the EventKit API was unable to fetch your reminders on that particular launch. It should be an anomaly though.

I've been working on a replacement for Apple's Reminders app: https://www.betterremindersapp.com

Hey guys, I've been working on this app for a year now. Let me know what you think!
