Whether it’s picking up milk from a nearby store or dropping something to a specific place, the Reminders app on iOS devices makes everything easy. If you are someone that often gets assigned a lot of work but you have a bad memory like me then this app on your iPhone can come in handy.
The Reminders app on the iPhone brings in a lot of amazing features and thanks to this users don’t really switch to third party apps and save a lot of space on their device. It also gives Location-Based alerts to its users which means that if a person has added a task on a specific place in the Map, he will get reminded for that when he enters or leaves that place.
