Apple’s Reminders app used to be a joke, and if you found yourself using it, it was probably because you’d asked Siri to remind you about something or, well, you didn’t know any better. It was good for casual use, but in a professional setting, you’d have been better off sticking with a third-party app like Things 3.
With iOS 13, though, Reminders should rank among the new operating system’s standout features. The changes are breathtaking. You can make groups with multiple lists, you can set morning notifications that give you a rundown of what you have to do for the day, and you can add checklists to reminders. It doesn’t even take that long to make a reminder anymore because Apple lets you enter them with natural language commands instead of fiddling with multiple fields.
