    So many features, all I needed was ability to drag drop reminder onto the calendar app and the event sync both ways.

      Same here. But lately I noticed the reminders app is starting to lag. Maybe it’s because I have too much data stored in the Reminders app. I use it very often, for both work and personal. I wish I could figure out how to speed up the Reminders app again.

    Great video, info and explanations. Thank you!
    I use reminders for my workout plans from my coach:
    Groups "Week 1 of 4, 2of4, 3of4, 4of4”LISTS: day1 legs, day 2 back/chest, day 3 shoulders arms, day 4 glues/hams
    Tasks are the exercises themselves: barbell back squats - 3 sets 20/pulse 20 on last rep
    Subtasks are my sets and reps and I log notes
    set1 85# too heavy
    set2 65# just right
    set3 65# fail at 15
    I save the lists as templates to reuse the same routine for 4 weeks. I’ll print my workouts when I’m done and share them with my coach to review and adapt. {I actually save them now as tabloid size PDF to files most days this allows all items to fit in one page}
    Doing daily checklists for my 11yo ADHD & on the spectrum.
    He loves checking things off {HIS LISTS} and I have set to “show completed” for that added feeling of accomplishment!!
    Groups: Sunday-Saturday
    Lists: morning, after school, evening and before bed
    Tasks: 🪥brush teeth, 👕🩳change clothes, 🐕feed dog, etc. 🧹🍽️🛁🎒📚
    Options are ENDLESS 😃

    Hey Brandon, excellent video, explaining how the Reminders app works.
    I'd like to hear your opinion on how to go about doing the things below. If you think it's worth your time, please develop and publish a video on them.
    * The Apple Calendar app has some features similar to some features in the Reminders app and vice versa. What would you recommend as to how to decide whether a task should go into the Calendar app or into the Reminders app? (I use a simple rule. If a task needs to be done at a particular day/time, I put in on the Calendar.)
    * What options can you name/describe as the basis for Reminder lists? The most common one is that a list is a "topic". There are others.
    * I've made sure that the folders/lists I have in the Calendar app, the Reminders app, and the Notes app are identical. Does this sound like a good idea?

    The Repeat function needs to offer two alternatives: base the new reminder's due date on either the due date of the competed item, or its completion date. Different situations require different solutions.

    Been using reminders for a long time because I've never been a fan of how 3rd party apps give me notifications. Was excited about the grocery list auto-sorting, but I find it doesn't work. It's not sorting automatically at all. I'm running the latest iOS as of today. Oh well! Maybe it's a bug that it doesn't work for all (iPad or iPhone - I do not have a Mac).

    Hi Brandon, is there a way to "share" the tags on shared lists as well? We're sharing a groceries list with my partner, in general we do our shopping at 2 different (sometimes 3) shops depending on the items. When I tag the items in my list with the name of the shop, it's easy to set a filter when I'm at a particular shop. However, these tags are not transferred on this shared list to my partners device. Any tricks? Thanks Deniz
