I'm going to admit it, I'm a productivity junky. I've tried all the apps, Todoist, Any.do, Evernote, and I even had a brief stint with Things during a 2-year flirtation with Apple (don't judge me). After all that, the tool best is the humble Samsung Reminder app, especially when paired with Calendar when working with a timeboxing methodology. And this is where maybe I'd like to see a couple of feature additions.
I get that Reminder is set up as a basic, no-thrills to-do list, which is its strength. But what would be really useful is either:
- The ability to add an end time to a task so that it appears in the Calendar as a timeboxed event.
- Or the capability to convert a Task in Reminder to a Calendar event for the same reason.
Finally, it's difficult to attach Notes outputs to a task unless they are exported to jpg, and even then, I have to upload to OneDrive first and then attach.
I understand that Samsung have a tie up with Microsoft and their own todo list app, but I'd much rather use Reminder.
I don't know if anybody else has an opinion either way but personally, I'd love to see these small tweaks made to this humble but essential app.
