RE: Differences between the calendar, and reminders

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Anna,

My birthday is April 19, I'd like 4 of the Sonos 1 speakers, please *smile*.
OK, I also want an iPhone X 256 Gb, but I didn't want to be unreasonable.

Have a good weekend,
Sieghard

Hi,

in addition, I should point out that when you set a calendar appointment with 
the built-in app, you can set two alarms. There's also a nice feature for 
all-day events like birthdays. I have mine set to tell me about someone's 
birthday the week before so I have time to get them a present, and then on the 
day so I remember to get in touch.

Best,
Anna

Re: Differences between the calendar, and reminders

[Wayne Merritt]

In addition, there are other apps, like Alarmed, where you can set
multiple alarms for an event. So you might have the actual alarm at
8:30, but then a couple of pre-alarms at 8:20 and 8:25, reminding you
about the pending appointment. Or, you could get an app like
Fantastical II, which includes calendar events and rmeinders in the
same interface. Some people prefer reminders and some prefer
appointments. I tend to use the calendar for appointments, and for
very important reminders, like calling to make an appointment at a
doctor, I will set a reminder. I have Fantastical so I can do either
item at any time. Fantastical is a paid app, at about $2.99, but if
you use the calendar and reminders a lot then it is well worth the
cost.

Re: Differences between the calendar, and reminders

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Terry,

Reminders are basically items on a to-do list. You can create a reminder that 
goes off at a particular time, when you leave or exit a particular location, or 
that never reminds you but is simply there in a list, so you could use it as a 
shopping or packing list, for example. If you set a time- or location-based 
reminder, you get an alert, and you can then mark the item as complete.

You can set your calendar so that you get an alarm reminding you about any 
event you add, and you can control when the alarms go off. For instance, I have 
mine set so that an alarm goes off 15 minutes before an appointment. I live in 
a small town, and 15 minutes is enough warning to still make the appointment if 
I forgot about it. When a calendar alert goes off, you can close it, but 
there's nothing to mark as completed.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna
