Memento: Modern Reminders Reviews

Loving how beautifully designed Memento is and how it makes me excited to look at my reminders! Would love to see the ability to add/substract days/hours/mins more seamlessly than creating presets. I've used Due for ages and while I like the look and feel of this app more, I miss being able to add days/hrs/mins to my reminders quickly. When I set a present to +1 hour, Memento adds one full hour but does not allow adding more than that by clicking the preset. To make a time edit that does not have a preset, you have to open the time/date wheel, which is cumbersome. Also, would like to see gestures implemented (e.g. create a new reminder by pulling down on the screen vs. having to reach up to the + button). I'd love to be able to fully switch over to this app but these are the small (very convenient) things I like about an app like Due. Appreciate you, keep up the great work!

I believe Memento is a must have for those who need an reminder app to quickly add new reminders as well as take a quick glance at everything they have planned for the day. Very fluid and smooth app.

A couple things that I believe would take Memento over the top would be a drag option from the main screen to be able to quickly add a new reminder to which ever list instead of having to press the + sign in the top left hand corner. That would make it quicker to add new reminders. I would also include natural language support to make adding a task or time of the task more fluid.

Outside of that I believe Memento is a must have if you own an iPhone.

This is by far the most polished, well done, beautiful UI IOS reminders app. It’s almost effortless with one big problem (only applies to ONE scenario) I am not sure if it’s a bug or software limitation but shared reminders do not work. I have a work list reminders shared with my boss and I get every single reminder on my days off even though my boss completes them on the Native reminders app.

I’ve grown tired of receiving reminders on my days off when I really shouldn’t because I guess Memento doesn’t deal with shared reminders. Case in point, if you share any list with a boss or a significant other like a shop list, them completing the task will not remove it from your reminders. You will still be reminded and have to mark it completed yet again. This is a five star app and I will update once this has been fixed

I purchased this because I was looking for a replacement for Apples reminders app which Apple managed to break some time ago. This doesn’t fix the problems since it uses the same information as the remiders app. I don’t understand why Apple hasn’t been inclined to fix this since the reminders app, the hardware I run it on and the cloud the data resides on is all theirs. Memento just makes a slightly more usable interface to that system. The updating is still so slow that you don’t know if it recognized your touch and it changes the day right under your finger tip as you are trying to get it to respond. I was using these apps to mark off that I have taken my medications, so that I don’t miss any of them. I will continue to look for a replacement for reminders, this wasn’t it. The problem is Apples, not Memento.

Simple, clean and beautiful. I use reminders a lot but they're for very basic text based things. Most of those ones I've tried have either too much going on with their UI or they have way too many options that I don't need. I didn't know how useful creating lists could be until Memento, mainly because of how it's implemented across Memento , it's genius. The native reminders app is not bad, but this app simply has a way better UI and is way more useful. I specifically love the For You tab, it's so nice being able to see all my reminders chronologically. If you're looking for a simple yet useful reminders app, this is what you want.

I had recently purchased Memento and it is WONDERFUL. I'm a college student and it really helps me with remembering to do assignments. I also am in love with the minimalistic design. However, please please please add a feature where there is a start and end time. It would be extremely helpful. Also, it would be great if we could sort out tasks within a certain list (ex. A-X, by date, etc). And lastly, reminders! Reminders where it could remind us a week before or perhaps a certain amount of hours before the actual due date would make Memento perfect. I hope to see possible updates with Memento because I believe it can go very far.

I was never a fan of reminders in the past. Memento looked bad it was cumbersome to navigate and just didn’t like it. Then I saw Memento and I wanted to try it out. It’s so clean and looks good. I can appreciate the dark mode and the alternative icon color!! The list mode is great and overall Memento works very well. I use it as simple reminders to do things and as sort of pick up list using the location based alert. For instance if I need to pick up aspirin Memento will remind me when I am near a pharmacy. It’s so easy to set up too I love it. The only thing that Memento needs is an Apple Watch and Mac version, but otherwise it has earned a spot on my phone.

I like that this app uses the same database that iOS’s Reminders does, so there’s no siloing - if I decide later that I want to access reminders through iOS’ Reminders, I just go there.

I like the UI much better than the native app too - much more modern. Nice.

One feature that would be a big improvement on both the current UI and Reminders’ UI is in setting geofencing locations. Sometimes my phone gets a little confused on exactly where I am, rendering “remind me when I leave here” unusable. But the text address option is a lot of work - I often know where I’m going, but I have no idea what the address is. Having a way to just drag the map under the blue dot (or drag the blue dot on the map) and just put it where I know I mean would be MUCH more intuitive.

Overall, a very nice app. Well done.

Memento is fine, but I was expecting some sort of calendar view. Of course, that isn’t really factoring into my review, just that I didn’t know what I was getting into just from the store page.

Regardless, I’ve been having strange issues with Memento simply not saving my location alerts. I initially thought I was doing it wrong, but I realized that it would save location alerts for the tasks before forgetting that I had done so as soon as I exited the list.

The other strange thing is that I keep trying to delete a certain list, but it’s persistently coming back into existence not long after I thought I had deleted it. I’ve tried in-app, out-of-app in Reminders, and it just doesn’t want to go away. I circumvented the issue by just renaming the list to whatever suited my needs at the time, but it’s regardless rather disheartening that I would be beset with so many damned complications even after I bought Memento .

Other than that, it’s very intuitive and easy to move the tasks around. It would be rather nice to be able to schedule dark mode, but that’s just my two cents.

Memento looks and feels more like an Apple app than Reminders does; Mark really knocked this one out of the park.

I never used Reminders before, mostly because the UX just isn't to my liking, but this app has changed that. And even more importantly, it has helped my partner and I stay on the same page with our grocery lists and to-dos. On top of that, the dev was extremely helpful in troubleshooting a problem I had that turned out wasn't even an issue with Memento itself.

Memento is worth every penny, if not more, and I'm super happy to see that it's been a success 👏🏻

Ok, long story short: I had an issue with the apps location reminders now working, they weren't going off. I emailed Mark and he replied back within the hour! Amazing. So he emailed me back saying "we're gonna fix this" So he asked me for some info and asked me to check some things. Nothing worked!! Then we hit an AHA! Moment! He asked me to check my location settings, I had a specific setting turned off! This is the best app now and it works so awesome and is so clean and simple! He has the best customer service he doesn't just make apps he helps you out.
Thank you, Mark.

The only advantage over Reminders (IOS 12) seems to be the ability to add category lists. My major gripe is that the Todo items should be sorted by date! I have a reoccurring reminder at the top right now for Feb 21 followed by a bunch of non-date-specific reminders and then something due for Feb 18th at the bottom.

This sorting problem is also on the Apple Watch. I would expect to see earliest date reminders first (maybe even a smart feature which is if the date falls within the next 7 days, sort it to the top). It's less useful to have to scroll down to the bottom to see a tall that is quickly coming up.

I first began to use Memento as I wanted a more visually updated replacement to Apple’s stagnant Reminders. That’s been there since the first version. But what has kept Memento on my home screen has been the constant and useful updates to the functionality of Memento from the developer, particularly the new For You section in a recent update.

While there are still small areas where growth might be needed I’d recommend the current version of Memento to anyone looking for an alternative to Apple’s native Reminders.

The Good:
- design and fluidity
- no complicated actions
- syncs with native Apple Reminders
- Handoff

Wishlist:
- tap to expand (to see notes)
- more tones
- streaks for completed lists

The Review:
I bought this so I could more easily remember all the things I have to do (I have a bad memory) and it’s much easier to navigate than the native Reminders app that Apple puts on our phones. The overall design and fluidity of Memento is simplistic and minimal. There are no complicated actions to sort through so you can get a notification when you arrive at home or at 5:45pm. I also like how it syncs to the native Apple Reminders app. If either of those apps somehow disappear off my phone I have a backup. And the Handoff feature is also useful, so I can write a reminder on my iPhone and check it complete on my iPad.

It’s a good app. It’s worth the money.

Reminder is amazing. This is what Apple should have built. Feels native to iOS, doesn’t have a stupid card paradigm, and has multiple methods to view your reminders. If you’re like me and have multiple lists, switching tabs at the bottom makes seeing everything due vs list by list vs all together an absolute breeze. It’s also crazy fast due to the presets - this is exactly how I always envisioned a reminders app. Thank you!

I am frustrated by the alarms in Memento. I had a task set for today at about noon. I decided to change it to tomorrow. I opened the task and changed the alarm from noon today to tomorrow morning. So far, so good. Now I look at the task in the “lists” view and it still shows the alarm as today at noon, while the “for you” list shows it as tomorrow morning. I had to restart Memento to get the times to update. Things like that drive me crazy. I can never be sure when or if I will get reminded, which is the entire point of Memento !

Memento seemed great until all of my reminders were GONE!

I loved the option for multiple lists, different colors, times, etc. I put all the things I had to do in what I named “To-Do”, and moved on with my day. I went back to Memento not 2 hours later to find all that I had done gone. Erased! I thought this was only a glitch, so I put it all back in, and even left Memento and came back to check, and surely, it was there. Then later that day, I look and see that yet again, it was all erased. Apparently Memento doesn’t keep your reminders! Not what I had in mind when I paid $1.99. I don’t think I even cleared Memento (like on iPhone). Rip-off. I would give zero stars if I could!

Truly a baseline for how apps based on the Apple style guidelines should be. Lovely to look at and lovely to use. Much easier to setup, manage, and edit reminders than the actual reminders app. I was hesitant to spend this much on a reminders app on a whim, but I’m so glad I did.

I would love an option to have a list view (the current layout is wonderful though) and an Apple Watch complication.

A simple app that simply does what it does, perfectly.

I do enjoy Memento, it’s not MUCH different than the native app but it’s aesthetically pleasing, as well as having dark modes and whatnot, I do have a suggestion however, allowing to customize the arrangement of the icons access the bottom would be really helpful, as well as integrating that so when you open Memento , it opens on the tab on the bottom left, so that I can set it up to automatically open to the for you tab.
Thank you developers it’s a great app!

If gladly give this 5 Stars but I only paid for Memento to use on my watch, and that's the only thing wrong with it. I've tried EVERYTHING to get Memento to list for install. Everything from erasing my watch to deleting and reinstalling the watch app itself. My watch and phone both are fully updated and have plenty of space. PLEASE fix this so I can give it 5 Stars....
