hello.
i was wondering if anyone here knows of an app that make reminders/checklists fun? All the one's I've seen are very dry and i find my self forgetting or not wanting to use them. If i could find one that was enjoyable to use, i might actually get something done. Thanks in advanse for the help.

There is a reminders app that is built in to the iPhone. You can also set a reminder using siri.

yes, i know and have used them before, but i don't find them very interesting to use. Yes htey work and are very functional but they are very dry. is there anything more fun, like a game or something? It doesn't mecisarily have to be a game but just something that it would give a little life to setting reminders

Can you describe your request a bit more detail? I have hard time understanding why setting reminders should be a game, since reminders are there to increase your productivity when you are on hurry and have no time to deal with some thing. So in my opinion, setting reminders has to be quick and effective experience.

Agreed. I like the native reminders app and it is functio over form this time. It works and now tht I can check off reminders in the notification center I'm all good to go when it is time to let's say get a boog for my project or what not. I'm also confused by the request as reminders are ot a game and shoudl not be classifided as fun but shoudl be mundain things you check off like on a pad of paper.

Hello,

Another accessible reminders app is built right into the google search application for the I Phone. You can set reminders in that app as well and receive notifications. -Andrew-

I like the native reminders app, but I wish reminders would be in order, so that one that is setfor next week does not show before ones that are due this week.

"I wish reminders would be in order, so that one that is setfor next week does not show before ones that are due this week."

all you have to do is select the list you want to view (this is usually called reminders if you have not set up additional list), at the top right corner there is a "schedule card" button, that will show your tasks in chronological order.
