I use Notes, Reminders and Calendar on a regular basis and love them all! I love that they all sync to all my Apple devices. I’m not a power user, so they exceed all I need for my use cases.
thanks for sharing!
✨hi! thanks for watching :) do you agree that apple reminders has SIGNIFICANTLY improved? what is your task manager app of choice? 👀
I use the reminders app on my iPhone daily, But you showing this from an iPad prospective is really helpful for me especially with the new iPads coming out in two weeks currently don’t own an iPad. Thanks for the video appreciate it
I do love the layout of things 3 a bit more but it’s not worth it. Reminders is indeed very capable and perfect for almost every job. I wish I could say the same for notes. It has still a long way to go to come near Bear or Craft
Oh my goodness! Why have I not known about you before?!!! I am a senior citizen with a very little bit of tech knowledge, but I am trainable. Thank you so much for this video. My memory isn’t what it used to be and this is so helpful! Bless your kind heart.❤️
Welcome aboard! 😎
A real game-changer for the forgetful.
glad it was helpful!
I’m a little behind on your videos (my bad) but I LOVE this one on Reminders. Thanks for sharing it
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Brooke! I tried the Apple Reminders app YEARS ago, but moved away from it to try other apps. I’m SO glad I came across your video! I use a different list app ( sharing our grocery list w fam ), but it looks like this would allow me to consolidate. I like seeing that you can link to notes, and that you can set it to remind you based on location. How many times have I needed to remember to do something or call someone as soon as I get home or get to work or a friends house … and as soon as I walk in the door and get distracted by our pet or a other people, Zooop! It’s gone! LOL.
This could be super helpful. What a goldmine in terms of organizing, scheduling, and planning! Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been trying to figure out how to use the list so I was thrilled to find your video. I’m using an iPad mini 6 with 17.4.1 version. I’m more lost than before. It seemed like you were stating your steps without showing us how you took the steps. I’m subscribed and your one on notes helped a lot. P.S. I’m 80 years old and am trying to learn my iPhone - iPad mini 6 and an apple watch 8 all that my daughter bought me so, as she says, get with it! Thanks
Brooke, thanks so much for this clear and detailed tutorial about Apple Reminders. I do use this app all the time, but it was good to be “reminded” of all the things it can do. You gave me new info that I was not aware of. 😊 I appreciate that you talk slowly and use the little pointing hand to show each step! It helps to be able to grasp all that you are telling us. I have marked this as a “Favorites” in my CZcams videos so I can refer back to it when necessary! Thanks again!❤
you’re very welcome! glad it was helpful!
This is outstanding content! Very helpful!
Glad you think so!
I’ve use Apple Notes and Apple Reminders for both home and work. I have pretty bad memory issues, so being able to make a reminder easily through Siri is great. There are literally days I will get reminders I don’t remember making, but really needed to know.
siri is like having a personal assistant!
I've been using reminders for a year now but still learned a TON from this video...thank you!
You are so welcome!
Wow, I’ve got to really start using again!
Thanks, Brooke! i've been using Reminders for awhile, but actually didn't know about many of these features. 😊
You're so welcome! Thank you for the extra support! 🙏🏻☺️
Great video, I see that you had lists in a folder (personal, Shopping etc) , how do you create a folder, hope you can help, thanks
Hey, this video is incredibly helpful! The tips will definitely help me use Notes more effectively. Also, I really love your makeup! 😍
thank you so much ☺️
THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT AND EASY BREAKDOWN OF THIS APP🥰
You are so welcome!
Thank you for explaining everything so well. I have been avoiding trying to learn Reminders. Hate change. Was stuck in a paper planner. Tried digital planner which I hate. This is working.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with the change 🙏🏻
Between this channel and Mac Most you have all the Mac Tips you could ever want.
So kind !
Hi Brook, great run down. I use the heck out of reminders. I work in corporate sales and I couldn't live without it. Also, linking a file to reminders can come in handy.
Thanks for sharing!!
Your voice and explaining the issues is great.❤
Oh thank you!
Hallo Brooke, greetings from Norway. Your videos are very useful. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them!
I love reminders! The siri tip is great
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for excellent video. Reminders seems to duplicate the functions of calendar/diary? Do they integrate?
wow this helped me a lot!!!!! I'm going dive into reminders and check it out
glad you liked it!
Thanks Love❤ your enthusiasm ! Great video and I will take a new look at reminders app for sure ✔️
Hope you like it!
I have just rediscovered Apple reminders thanks to you and Im loving it!
Great to hear!
Most thorough video I’ve seen for the Reminders app, very well done!
I agree...have been using it for a while now and still learned many things I had no idea that it was capable of doing.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you very much showing us all these features and benefits.
You’re very welcome!
Thanks for the video. It was a great help. Excellent articulation and voice modulation for a smooth listening experience.
thank you!
Hi. Great video. I’ve also made Apple Reminders my task manager of choice. So many updates over the last few years has made Reminders a powerhouse.
Thanks for sharing!
To bad I am 78 years old. You a great teacher. Showing in pictures is great. I do have an I pad.
To old to learn. Thank you
You can do it!
Excellent video. I love the organization and how well you explained the different areas of the app.
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this.
Going to use the grocery list immediately!
Hope you like it!
Great video Brooke, ive learned tips from you even tho i use reminders! Thank you so much❤
I'm so glad!
My grocery list does not group products as you showed ; which setting is to set correctly?
Thank you for your reminder list video! I had no idea these features were offered in the reminder list.
You are so welcome!
Great video! I use reminders a lot but not m not getting full use of the new features yet. I need to watch this again when I have my iPad handy.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video! Over the years I’ve tried and used so many notes and reminders and calendar apps… And they all degrade, change or increase their cost and change to subscriptions, so I have been learning to get better at the apps Apple has, and it’s a treat to be using something as your main tool that is seamless with your iCloud and is reasonably private and also will not have any price surprises…
Thanks for sharing!!
I used to store lists on bits of paper. Reminders has simplifies things for me, and I don’t forget stuff like I used to. Reminders is a powerful app that also syncs across my devices. Nice demo on the iPad. I generally use my phone and Mac for reminders.
Thanks for sharing!!
WOW the video I never knew I needed
glad you enjoyed it !
Came across your video. Nicely done. Good luck with the channel. I am still trying to figure out how to start one and about what! LOL. Love reminders, over calendar even.
You can do it!
I have a question. I just bought an embroidery machine, I also have a flash drive that can fit into my tablet and the other end into the machine. I’ve tried to use my laptop to save pes files for my embroidery machine, but for some reason, I can’t seem to save it as a pes file, (even though it downloads as one). My laptop want to open them into explorer, and other areas that won’t work for my machine. Anyway, would it be possible to use my tablet instead? After you download the file, how to find it and how to drag it to the flash drive? I’m hoping this may just be a little bit easier.
Thanks Brooke. Like you I am into productive tools I have used a few, one being Things’. Like most software, things evolve and the Reminder app now does everything I need. Would like to see tighter integration between Apple Mail and reminders.
Agree!
This surely is one of the most useful app on IOS. I plan to use it more.
awesome! thanks for sharing!
Excellent review.
Glad you liked it!
Great video learned a lot about reminders you did a nice job with the video
So glad!
Thank you for your content. A question. Do you take a training class on these tutorials, or do you just work with it until you’ve discovered all the benefits and applications. I get so frustrated trying to figure it out on my own. Again, great job, I’ll be following going forward.
thanks for the support! no training, just research and curiosity haha! :)
I'm a bit confused because I did the update on macbook and on the iphone and still I don't have the wealth of items in the context menu as you. It looks very pared down in comparison. I'm on Sonoma. Maybe they removed some of the options? E.g I can only create subtasks by creating them as tasks, then dragging them on the iPhone onto another task.
Thanks for bringing this up! I just tried it on all my devices and this is what i found. iPad: no issues adding subtasks. iPhone: can only add subtasks when I’ve added a reminder to a list and press the ‘i’ button on the right of reminder. If i simply hit ‘new reminder’ then ‘details’ i dont see subtasks option. Mac: don’t see subtasks option at all. Thought maybe it was a bug but this article seems to support that on mac you can only do it by dragging or indenting: support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/reminders/remn32a9622b/mac
14:38 My HomePod: “Who is this?” 😂. Great video, as usual!
lol I’m sorry 🙈 rookie mistake. I’ll mute the wake word next time!
I love Steve jobs I love apple 🍎
Shopping lists are great but the organising is more like US shops and different to UK shops but still useful.
I used reminders for years for all my personal stuff and other apps for side work projects, reminders has steadily gotten better over the years and I now have just moved everything into reminders. I like everything in one place. 1 have 15 lists and it doesn’t feel cluttered or too much at all. This is obviously for me and other may like to keep personal in one app and work in another. I completely understand that and it actually makes more sense having things siloed but I like everything all together so I can see and easily switch between.
I agree that notes should have its own reminders section another idea is to have a list in reminders called notes and go that route. But it’s still quite cumbersome to have to have a note to reminders to set a reminder.
Thanks for sharing!!
I have bought at least a half dozen task apps and I keep coming back to Apple reminders.
it’s so underrated!
Hi Brook, with your ideas as to adding sections in Reminders, and the Grocery idea, I have done a variation of it. Reminders, made a list for my grocery store isles, then I did sections for each area (seafood, meats, cheeses, and then each numbered isle: #1: SPICES, OILS, PICKLES, OLIVES: ; #2. And so on for every isle in the store. This allows me to make my grocery list by which isle has what etc. If you respond to me I will send you the a picture of the reminder. Yes, Apple’s grocery allocations is fine, but I like using my store’s isles. I had my grocery list in NOTES, by isle, but now I can put an item under the section of the isle and when I pick it up then it 9:32 just disappears. I hope I was not too confusing. Your fan, Roger of Orlando
Great informative video
Glad it was helpful!
I wish you would make a video about using apple calendar and apple reminder apps. That way when I have a calendar event I can use reminders to notify me.
Isn’t that what your calendar event notification is for?
@@taggs34 I understand what you are saying I just wish there was a way to have everything together. All of my daily appointments listed with those reminders of I have. Open up a program showing either the monthly view or daily view and see everything that I have to do.
Hi , have a question. Why does my "apple reminders" doesn't show in my "apple calendar " ?
Is there any settings to do for this ?
Don’t think so. Would be great. Android n one ui does that.
The Fantastical App allows you to do this
@@MwtcultureisSHE oh Okay, Thank you for sharing this
I think the groceries only available for English. I don't have that option in norwegian?
Thanks for your awesome tips. Small ask: Please allow another second or two when you point to where to tap, for example when you show how to add list.
Noted!
Using Things now but will reconsider Reminders. But its a but too complex, overwhelming
WoW 🎉🎉❤❤awesome 👍👍👍
Thanks 🤗
Looks like a useful app for those who don't cross platforms. I use MacOS, Windows, Android and IOS so I'd only get reminded half the time!! Great video though, your presentation is excellent as always.
Thanks for sharing!
You're calling mom a lot ;)
Thanks for all those tips.
You’re welcome!
Grocery list i prefer apple note. that sort automatically when we use checkbox. we have completed list and pending list after one shopping. in reminder, once we touch the checkbox, it vanishes, and we really confuse what we already bought.
at the top of the grocery list, you should see a show completed option. Hopefully that helps 🙏🏻
Can it add the reminders to calendar?
I don’t think so. Why oh why isn’t this possible.
Next video is EDC? Awesome
I actually posted them out of order haha here’s the link to my EDC:
czcams.com/video/GulmtG6xMoI/video.html
I drop in emails so I can follow up. Great feature. It’s just drag and drop
Good review.
For me it’s more like a task manager, not a reminders app. Too many clicks to quickly set date/time, which is a vital part of a reminder. When I want something to be reminded about, I usually want to specify when to be reminded.
Siri solves this, anyway.
And as usual, if you don’t have a mac, icloud web is the only solution for using it in front of your computer.
Thanks!
Apple native app are the best because they work with each others and it's free. The only thing I don't like is both Calendars or Google calendar doesn't come with monthly view widget
That would be a great option!
I love reminders too. Note: If you have Apple Play in your car, you can use Siri and add easily while driving.
great tip!
Nice
Thanks
I don’t think you covered the way I would love to use reminders. I put down a reminder for a task at 4:45 on Mondays. How do i get it to pop up on my screen to remind me …. So i don’t have to remember to go into reminders to see what I wanted to remember???
thanks! your cute also!
I learned a lot, thank you, but the app still is missing a birthday list. Oh, I have a list of birthdays, but it's generic. I can't put in a birth year so that I'm also reminded of the age of the birthday person.
hmm that’s interesting. for birthdays what i do is add it to the person’s contact (there’s a spot for it) and that adds it to my calendar. so i’ll see a calendar event and how old they’re turning.
@@brooketierney THANK YOU! I never gave the birthday field in my Contacts any thought and I'm so glad to hear this.
Great video but please watch with the Siri examples, all my devices started up since you actually said the wake words. That can be very annoying.
Someone else mentioned this as well. Thank you! Rookie mistake and I will be more careful next time!
Brilliant. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great video…lots of very useful information! I am trying to be more efficient and organized and I stumbled onto your tutorial right on time.
Great to hear!
I used to have a travel list of every item that I could check off as I packed them (eg chargers, socks…). I honed this list over 5 years such that I wouldn’t forget anything. But 1 day I accidentally hit a button that deleted the list permanently and couldn’t retrieve it. Thanks Apple!!
14:44 the Siri on my apple watch heard you when I was watching your video and added a reminder 😂😂😂
sorry about that 😅😅
