Reminders for Android
Besides, Reminders allows you to fully and bidirectionally synchronise with Google Task. You can have both a backup of your tasks in the cloud and an easy way to manage them when you cannot access your Android device!
However Reminders doesn't force you to synchronise with Google if you don't want. There's a switch you can use to enable or disable the online synchronisation - and it's off by default.
Reminders allows you to manage all your Google accounts and it works even if you choose to be offline.
Reminders relies heavily on gestures:
* swipe a task to the left or to the right to delete it
* reorder tasks by drag and drop (only when "Sort by due date" checkbox is not checked)
* long press on the name of a task list to rename or delete it
Features:
- manages multiple Google accounts
- manages multiple lists of tasks
- bidirectionally synchronises with Google Tasks (optional)
- works both offline (default) and online
- tasks can have priorities
- you can search for tasks and create, if you want, a new list from the search results
- allows you to sort out tasks manually
- allows you to set reminders (even recurring ones)
- you can import text via standard Android sharing
- recognises URLs, phone numbers, email addresses and street addresses inside task and launch your default app when you tap on one of them
- allows you to quick insert a new task with only the title (typing it on the keyboard or though voice command) or with full details (only through keyboard)
- last, but not least, Reminders has NO ADS!
Starting from July 2015, Reminders is open source! You can find the sources on this github repository https://github.com/danielebufarini/Reminders
I wanted an app that would allow me to add folders that I could keep different kinds of tasks in. I went to the screen for adding folders and touched the "+" icon for adding folders - with no response. If I can't add folders, the app is useless. I have Android 4.1. It also makes me wonder what else is wrong with the app. Will it delete tasks I don't want deleted, or do some other bad thing? I don't know. I had been using "Out of Milk Pro" for a long time, and the latest update wiped out most of my important data and eliminated all my folders and grouped everything in one big "to do" folder. Foolishly I trusted Out of Milk app to not lose anything, so I lost some important data. They have a cloud backup service, but that was messed up also. So I'm afraid to trust this app, since the very first thing I tried to do on it (make a simple folder) failed. I'm writing this long review because I note the author answers people pretty quickly. The Out of Milk people don't respond. So maybe there is hope for this app and I can happily change my star rating.
I love that you can use folders but i would suggest that the text field next to the plus button be made more obvious, it took some reading of reviews and frustration before i found out why it was not working and i almost deleted the app over it, but im glad i figured it out.
I'm one who really likes continuity with material design throughout the OS. I would appreciate it if there could be an update to make this app follow the material design theme. Other than that, I like how simple it is to add a reminder. That is what I was looking for.
This app spreads out your task to do about 1 inch apart on my galaxy note 4 phone. It's a ridiculous waste of space with no options to compress the text closer together. It looks like a 3rd grader is using it.
Maybe I'm missing something here, quite possibly. I'm liking the app butt is it not possible to re order, manually, the order of each item in a particular list? I've tried holding the column of dots at the right of each item but no...they don't seem to want to be dragged. Help!
Installed, set a ringtone to play, created a reminder, and when the time came nothing happened. No sound, no popup to foreground, nothing (Android 5.1 Lollipop). Retested twice, with different tones, same (lack of) results. Worthless. Uninstalled.
Needs a 12 or 24 clock option. Default is 24 hours and I don't roll well with that.
Very strange and yet not working application. By default it switches to the first on the list account and not to the one under which it was installed. Very annoyingly suggests to manage my google tasks which I deliberately don't wish to do. Created reminder simply didn't fire. Galaxy Note 3.
Thank you for making this app
Simple and effective with some deeper features when needed. Love it!
Useless for V685, since it doesn't actually give a notification or start an alarm or anything. Edit: I don't know how to reply to you, my device is VF685. I appreciate your quick response
The app doesn't actually remind you unless you open the app. I want something to make my phone ring. I changed the settings to ring and vibrant, but still no luck
I love these reminder apps they are so helpful.
time to go visit somone
Set an alarm for every minute to test and it didn't work. The alarm didn't save the changes I set. Completely useless to me. Then it is still useless to me and I have already uninstalled and found an app that does everything I want
A relatively basic app. A little hard to read. Missing some key features/functions. POSITIVES: - Ad free - Great reminder features - Voice input of tasks is a great feature - Syncs well with Google Tasks - Ability to search tasks - Ability to prioritize tasks - Can import, via Google Tasks, data from a another task manager or spreadsheet NEGATIVES: - Was not able to edit tasks with longer task names/contained URL - Doesn't appear to record completed date - Cannot change Complete Date for tasks already completed - No recurring tasks
Lovely
It is so great .
The "add list" button does not work
Thank you for making this app
It doesn't even have a time option to set the time of the reminder. Plz add that and I'll give 5 stars.
Well this app is ok
So awesome. Love this app
I like this app but I wish it could have a check button for u to check what u have done
Useless, since it doesn't actually give a notification or start an alarm or anything
I didn't get to play it because I didn't have anoth space to have it
its very good
Great app☺

I set it to remind something every hour.... nothing happened. So I set it for every minute and... nothing happened. What's this app supposed to do??
Need option to view, only current date task, this week task, next week task...so on.
Its not the best thing
Would love a mic widget that I could touch to quickly add a time or location based reminder. But still like the clean layout!
Waste time
I wanted for so long to install it
Kamaal di app hai

Great app, 5 stars, but there was no tutorial so it was a bit confusing but after 5 minutes I already made 3 reminders and knew pretty much everything. Custom GUI would be a great addition but is not needed, but anyway great app its a must have
