One of my favorite things about the Reminder’s app is that I can simply use Siri. For example, if I put clothes in the dryer and don’t want to forget to take them out while they are still warm. I just say, Siri, remind me in 45 minutes to fold clothes. I use it all the time even for things that are way ahead. I might tell Siri to remind me on such and such date to purchase a particular book that is released on that date. It’s just so easy. I do also use the Any List app as it also suits some of my other needs, mostly for grocery shopping or when I want to make a list with my own custom categories. For example, I want to make a gift idea list. I simply create categories that are the names of friends and family. Also, I can make custom categories with grocery store aisles in the order that I shop. That’s just so helpful. :) You can also share your lists with other family members and they have an online website. I don’t have much experience with the website though. I am unaware of any way to set due dates or location based reminders in the Any List app. It’s more of a list app than a reminder/to do app. Also Any List can be synced with the native iOS Reminder’s app for a round about way to use Siri with Any List. I have not tried it though. I don’t have time these days to fiddle with it. So for now, Using the two suit my needs wonderfully.
Also, another great feature of the native reminders app is that if you use Family Share, you get a list that the whole family can use.
