If something happened to my iPhone’s Reminders app, I don’t know what I’d do. Ever since getting my hands on an iPhone 5 in my teens, I’ve used Reminders to organize my school life, my college life, and now my work life, though anytime I proudly display my ever-increasing list of diary alerts to someone who’s less obsessed with automated timekeeping, I’m asked the same question: why don’t I just use the Calendar app instead?
In truth, I’ve only ever used Calendar to remind myself of the date. Sure, it might be the more logical option for keeping track of important engagements, but I find Reminders to be just as useful for that purpose while also being better suited to impromptu alerts like 'Pick up toilet paper on the way home' (that particular reminder gets the High Priority tag).
