Why doesn't the reminder work?

Hello Lilly5589,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. What exactly is not working in the Reminders app? Are you unable to open the app? If you haven't tried yet, we suggest to follow these steps when an app is not functioning properly:

If an app on your iPhone or iPad doesn't work as expected, try this.

1. Close and reopen the app

Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

2. Restart your device

Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

3. Check for updates

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.

4. Delete the app, then redownload it

Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

These steps can help and is outlined in this article: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support

If that doesn't help, please provide the community additional details of what experiencing with Reminders and what steps you've performed. You mentioned attempting everything and it would help to know what those steps were to provide you the best support.

Kind regards.

i have the reminder app on my I phone 13 pro max and it works well. My wife has the same phone and I downloaded the reminder app but the app will not work properly. If I set a reminder and try to edit the reminder the app turns off and goes back to the Home Screen. What are we doing wrong or is there a glitch in this app. I have tried deleting the app, rebooting the phone but it still does not work on my wife’s phone.
