QuickAdvice: Get Reminded Will Make Sure You're Reminded On Your iPhone
Get Reminded -- ToDo list that let's you put th... ($0.99) by TouchMiPhone is a simple reminder app for your iPhone and iPod Touch.
For those that don't require complicated GTD systems, a quick reminder app is all you need. Fortunately for those kinds of people, there's Get Reminded.
Get Reminded is an app that simply does what it says: reminds you. This is far from those complicated and complex GTD apps that have "contexts" and "projects" - stuff that ordinary people probably won't ever need in their life.
On the initial launch, you'll see two default reminders, properly labeled to show you the difference between a single, regular reminder and a repeating reminder.
Along the bottom of the app are two buttons: New Reminder and Quick Reminder.
A Quick Reminder is what it says - quick. It allows you to only enter in a task (what do you want to be reminded of?) and have it notify you in 10 minutes/1 hour/1 day/1 week only. There are no custom times to set.
New Reminder allows you to enter the task and then pick the day and time to remind you on. The default setting will remind you in 5 minutes. Additionally, you can set a reminder to remind you on a repeating basis, from Hourly, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
When you have some reminders set already, you can easily reschedule them if need be. Selecting them takes you to a screen where you can reschedule it to 15/30 minutes, 1 hour, or a Custom time. The task itself can be edited as well, or deleted if you no longer need it.
On the main screen, you can switch between Upcoming Notifications and All Notifications via the button in the top right. Upcoming are represented with the clock icon, and All with the folder. You can also delete all notifications in a view by hitting the trash can at the top left.
Get Reminded also gives you the choice of a white or dark theme, which can be accessed via the device Settings.app. When it comes time to remind you, the app will display a notification on the screen.
It's a simple and quick notification app that can remind you of anything - from household tasks to the show that you love watching. The only thing that bothers me is that some graphical elements (New/Quick Reminder buttons) don't appear optimized for the Retina Display and appear blurry while the rest seem sharp and crisp. It doesn't impact the usefulness of the app, but it should be worth noting.
If you are the type of person that doesn't need a bloated GTD system and just need simple reminders, then give Get Reminded a try. It has what you need in a nice little package.
