Reminders in iOS 10 is not working correctly .

When a reminder pops up in the lock screen, you used to be able to slide it over to acknowledge it. Now you have to go the extra step to view it first. Then it may or may not give you the option acknowledge it, set a reminder. If it does happen to give you options to acknowledge it, it won't function at all. I can push any button but nothing will happen.


And it is hit or miss if the reminder will show up on the phone at all! I see the reminder on my mac and my watch but not my phone! Something aint right!


This should be support for an iOS 10 App right, but it is not allowing me to select that community! Agh!!!

iPhone 6, iOS 10.0.1

I have never had the Reminders widget on my home screen and yet my reminders only work periodically, which is useless. I have been an Apple supporter since the Apple IIe and bought one of the original 128k Macs and the original iPhone. Apple is NOT the company I used to respect. I still hold over 1000 shares but I believe it's time to get out.

This is also a problem for me. When and if the reminders do come up at the time I set for them to go off, then they stay on the lock screen even after I have marked it completed. The only way to get rid of it is to turn my phone off and back on again, which is a total pain. And I tried setting a location reminder today for when I got home and it didn't work at all. Might as well not even set it. Come on Apple, this is a major issue you here. You need to fix this problem. And it should be fixed quickly.

Extraordinary, Apple seem determined to degrade their software with every update. Every 'improvement' to all of their software brings more problems, maybe they don't wish to employ capable programmers and that is why they have such huge cash reserves. I used to be such a fan of Apple and would extol the virtues of having a Mac, now I tell people how useless it is becoming and that it is getting worse, I only bought an iPhone (6S) for the first time within the last year and am disappointed. What is the point of having Reminders if they are unreliable? Even one important reminder gone AWOL is enough to make the system useless.

Today is the third day this week my reminder has failed. I have a daily reminder set for midnight, and so far this week it failed to work Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday night. I have complained to apple countless times already but they have yet to acknowledge this bug. If I can't depend on my phone anymore then apple has lost all my future business.
