Chained reminders
Example scenario:
One initial reminder for putting clothes in the washing machine, if and only if that is done, a set amount of time later i want to be reminded to check on the washing machine if its done, and to put the clothes in the dryer.
Then i want to be reminded a different amount of time later to check in the clothes in the dyer and go get them and to put them away.
As it is now something like this means that when i decide i want to do the first action later (or not at all that day), all remaining have to be “moved” in time manually, by the same amount...

I love the idea of linking RE:minders! The repeat option is great, but if we were able to edit what the next repeat says when we create it, so for a one off RE:minder it would be as it is now, but if we tap to Repeat, it would come up with e.g.:
REM1: Put washing in the machine,
REM2: Check on washing/put in the dryer,
REM3: Check clothes are dry.Even a 4th one maybe that repeats REM3 if it needs longer and so you snooze it. I know everyone’s got timers ⏲ on their appliances like ovens (and smartphones obviously) but, if you don’t hear it, you’ll end up with baby clothes or burnt ‘tatoes. There is also the electric/gas cost, especially these days! My Mum would need that, she’s a bit deaf and with the kitchen door shut and the TV loud, she either doesn’t hear the timer (she wouldn’t hear Big Ben 🔔! 🤪) and, sometimes, even if she hears it, she occasionally forgets what the timer was for! She’s got a little handheld timer just like this>⏲<right next to her but she hardly ever hears that for a minute or so! A vibrating phone with a RE:minder alert would be excellent for her and anyone who forgets easily (that’s what 40% of my RE:minders are for! With my memory, though, by the time I open the app I’ve forgotten what I wanted to remind myself of in the first place!). Sorry for rambling on! Just imagine if I’d written✍🏼it out, I would have probably RAMBLED ON FOR 18 PAGES: FRONT AND BACK! (You’ll know the inference, if you know 😉). I need to learn coding! I’d love to know how long making the above changes would take! Many thanks 🙏🏽 xx
