How to set reminders on your iPhone with Do Date

I like the idea of the pull-down Notification Center but I feel that Apple isn't making the best use of this tool. Unfortunately, the Quickpick app that added some great utility to the Notification Center was pulled from the App Store almost immediately after I wrote about it last month. Let's hope Do Date does not meet the same fate. Do Date does one thing but does it well: it adds a list of important upcoming dates to the Notification Center. It isn't an app to keep track of your various meetings each day because you can't schedule events to the minute and hour. Do Date can display up to 10 items in Notification Center. To add an item, you can tap the Add Date button at the bottom of the screen or from the Do Dates screen, you can tap the plus-sign button in the upper-left corner. (Via AppAdvice) Google Mobile Apps.

Wading through the App Store can be hard, and Apple is here to help with your need for a to-do app. Meet Reminders, the brand new app that is included with every install of iOS 5. With advanced features and a familiar interface, Apple is hoping that Reminders will be simple enough to be used by anyone, but powerful enough to be used by everyone. Have they produced an app worthy of being placed on every install, or did they forget to make Reminders worthwhile?

Interface I’m torn with Reminders’ interface, as there are aspects that I like and aspects that I simply can’t stand. Reminders is heavy with the real-world influence, and tries to toe the line between the digital and analogue world. Inputting Tasks So, Is It Worth Using? Prioritize Differently With Any To Do. It seems like there’s a new to-do list app on the market every day, and each of them tries to innovate the way you get things done by changing different aspects of the productivity process. There are apps that try to streamline the task input process, or reinvent the way you organize your tasks into lists and folders. What is relatively uncommon, however, is putting more emphasis on the way apps are prioritized. For the most part, productivity apps handle the priority issue in one of a few ways: they allow you to flag or star a task as important, or in some cases allow you to assign a priority (1-9) to each task.

By plotting your tasks on an innovative matrix, you can decide on-the-fly whether to tackle your most urgent or most important tasks first. Sticky Notes Pro for iPhone: Reminders, Alarms and More.
