A lot of people say they don’t like the default iOS Reminders app, but I’ve tried all kinds of to-do list and reminder apps, and none have come close to the utility of Reminders. In fact, if the only app on the iPhone were Reminders, it would still be tremendously useful. My only gripe is that in iOS 10, Apple removed the option from the reminder notifications to remind you again in 15 minutes — your only options now are remind again in 1 hour and remind again tomorrow. If anyone from Apple is reading this, being able to customize these options would be great!
