Can't add reminders!

I must be one of the few that have got ios5 onto my iphone without too much trouble..

Other than multiple emails.

Sadly though reminders doesnt seem to be working. I've tried tapping all the white on the screen. Scrutinising the entire app looking for a plus icon to no avail.

Exactly how DO I add reminders to my little list? I was really excited about this and I can't find a plus icon anywhere!

It should indeed have a plus sign to the right of the word reminders

Try closing the app completely ( double tap the home screen...in the bottom line find Reminders and press and hold...when the minus sign appears touch the app and it will close. Hit the home button again.)

Now reopen the reminders app.

If that doesn't work, there a problem with the app itself and you'll need to either rein tall or contact a genius bar to find out what's wrong.

I had the same problem but in my pad 2. When I tried to add a new list with the eddit button nothing happened. After reading all the previuos comments what I did was turning off reminders in my default email account and then follow the steps to reset the app in the link that RonAnnArbor suggested. Now I can add and delete lists! Thanks to all of you.
