We all need a little reminder to do things sometimes. We live in a world
filled with distraction and various shiny things that often lead us off
course of whatever it is we’re trying to do. Thus, setting reminders
can not only be productive, but a savior in some situations. On Android,
there are a ton of ways to create reminders and we took a look at the
best reminder apps for Android.
1-Any.do
Any.do
To-do List is a to do list app. To do list apps in general make
excellent reminder apps. To-do list apps are more useful for things like
remembering to grab milk from the grocery store than a calendar app
would be and they’re also faster to use. Any.do is a decent to-do list
app that comes with various task customizations, cloud syncing between
devices, reminders based on both time and location, and more. The app
also uses Material Design. You can also use this for both work and home
tasks and reminders. It has direct integration with the developer's
other app, Cal Calendar. It's a good one-two punch for reminders.
2- BZ Reminders
Price: Free / $3.99
BZ
Reminder is a very simple to-do list app. You can set reminders and
then the app reminds you when it's time. The app has a robust, but short
list of features. You can color code tasks and reminders for easier
organization. Additionally, it comes with Android Wear support, alerts,
recurring tasks (for taking out the garbage every week), and even set
hourly reminders for things like drinking water. It also has widgets, a
simple calendar included, and more. It's not as complex as the big names
in this space. However, it's one of the best simple reminder apps for
personal use.
3-Google Keep
Price: Free
Google
Keep is probably the best note taking app available right now. It's
also about two or three feature updates away from being a to-do list app
also. It features a collaboration features that let you share notes
with others. You can also take text, list, photo, audio, and video
notes. The reminders features is fairly simple, but effective. You can
set notes to pop up as notifications at certain times or places. For
instance, you can make your shopping list note pop up when your GPS
indicates that you're at your local grocery store. It's not as deep as
other apps on this list, but it's good for simple reminders and stuff
like that.
4-Life Reminders
Price: Free / $4.00
Life
Reminders is one of the simple reminder apps. It lets you create tasks
with a deadline. The app simply reminds you when it's time to do it. It
can even set-up phone calls or send SMS/text messages on a schedule.
Tasks are repeatable on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.
Additionally, the app uses Material Design, supports seven languages,
and more. Otherwise, the app is simple and it works well. The free
version has most of the features.
5-TickTick
Price: Free / $27.99 per year
TickTick
is an up and coming to do list app. It has a lot of features, including
reminders, recurring tasks, widgets, various customization options, and
even a calendar. TickTick rounds out the experience with Material
Design, syncing between devices, collaboration with other TickTick
users, and more. It works great for a variety of situations. However, it
works best in a household or work environment where multiple people use
the same app. The free version is more than good enough for personal
use. The pro version runs for $27.99 per year and it's mostly for
businesses.
