Reminder with Voice Reminders

With ADHD, I have trouble with working memory so, even with a calendar reminder, I forget what I’m doing and don’t get out the door on time. Often times I set my watch to buzz or my phone to chime but I don’t remember what the buzz or chime means!! So I use this app to record my own VOICE telling me what I need to do and I can’t ignore my own voice!! (My husband is completely time-blind so he generally leaves the house at the time he is supposed to BE somewhere…so I now have him using this app too.) I give elderly people rides to the the grocery store so it’s imperative that I don’t forget. This app literally makes it possible to do my moonlight job!! Note: it is possible to name your voice reminders (type over the date in the top field) and easily use them many times. I name them by my clients like “pick up Judy” or “pick up Ruth”.

Reply to Cristecs: When you set up the time for it to run your reminder, you may accidentally have tapped the little +2 hours option above the time setter. You may have to go back into the time option on your meds reminder and reset it without the optional additional time. Review: This app was very useful to me in its free version. It had already made a big difference in helping me to correct bad habits, so I was ready to take it full throttle for the betterment of my life! My only recommendation would be to be able to source icons or emojis from whatever you can type in a Note app. Or create a companion app that would allow you to create and import images, (that would be the correct size both in image and data usage,) specifically to the Reminder App itself. I use Reminder for so many reasons & create the maximum voice reminders possible, then frequently edit by topic or time. It would be useful to be able to identify them quickly with icons. Letters and numbers would also be welcome additions, as would the ability to remove icons from the gallery that you know you will never use. The app is beautifully designed, very easy to use (once you know your way around); does exactly what I hoped and needed it to do. Thanks to the genius and generous designers!!!

There are plenty of apps that do calendar notifications or wake you up. This app instead fulfills a much-needed niche - extreme flexibility. I appreciate the fact that I can set silent, visual alarms; it is hard to find an app that will do that reliably. I appreciate the fact that, if I silence my phone, forgotten audio reminders are also silenced (still appearing on screen.) I appreciate the fact that I can set any kind of sound I want to, from discrete to obnoxious, for each individual reminder by its chosen name. I really like the fact that I can temporarily disable or reactivate a reminder with a single tap. I have a complicated work schedule, and this app helps keep me on track. It could also be used for many other purposes - it is that flexible. I have been using it for a year now and rely on it. Please don’t change!
