Hey guys is there a way to get the reminders to pop up as a notification at the time you set it too like on the iPhone? If tried more than once to set on I selected the time and double check notification settings for the app and it still doesn't pop up... Not really much of a reminder if you have to go in the app Everytime to check what you wrote down.. I would just like a notification of what I need to remember at the time I set.. thanks!!!

There is a very simple app that does that. You can set multiple timers, with different labels and different sounds and they all will pop up. The timers go from seconds to 99 hours. It's called Kitchen Timer. Support is great too.

If you need reminders for days in the future, I use a calendar app.

Check out aCalendar + in the play store, it's what I use for all appointments and reminders, and also tasks on a daily basis.
For recurring tasks, like medication, I like Recurrence...

My calendar is extremely customizable. You make it as complex or simple as you like. Support is excellent. Its called Pimlical. It isn't free but worth every penny.

I've been using Calengoo since forever and really like it. Customizable widget and tons of options. I've never missed a reminder. They pop up and also have an alarm sound.
aCalendar+ is very nice as mentioned above.
There used to be a great reminder app, but, sadly it went the way of the dodo.

Interesting. I'm not a power user, but it could be a replacement for the 2 apps that I'm currently using.
Got around to looking at Pimlical, today, Mark. Way to complex for this ol guy.

I've been using it since my Palm days so it isn't too bad for me. But I understand, there are still parts I don't use and if I tried to start using it now, I'd feel the same as you.
