Reminders App. so quick to delete entries with no fallback!!

Having just recently discovered this amazing app I have spent many happy hours installing 'my life' onto it. Getting on in years this seemed the answer to my prayers, everything in one place, except it was everywhere, i pad, i phones, Mac and Windows, and able to share some folders. Wonderful. THEN entries started to dissappear! I quickly realised that a quick, light, fleeting, glancing, inadvertant tap on the round button deleted the whole entry, never to be recoverable, despite all the online hype that it could be recovered, everthing from shaking the i phone, to restoring from i cloud, except, of course it isnt.


I use to lightly curse apps that contstantly required, 'are you sure' when normally trying to delete, but now I realise what a saviour they are.


So, back to pen and paper, diaries, calendars and notebooks for me then. Such ashame

Tapping the button to mark an item complete does not delete it, it simply marks the item as complete.


Open Reminders

Tap More (the three dots in the circle)

Tap "show completed"


You can then deselect any items you no longer wish to mark as complete.
