Memento for Android

I’ve been using Memento for a few years and it’s my most recommended app to people. It’s on my home screen and I check it everyday. The most useful feature is receiving a reminder that I set months and even years in advance. The App Developer is also very responsive to suggestions. Thank you!

I love how reminders are set as icons. It makes it really easy to organize them. But it’s too limited by the api to be as useful as I want it to. The app lacks the ability to view URL’s, tags, and smart lists.

I believe this app is a must have for those who need an reminder app to quickly add new reminders as well as take a quick glance at everything they have planned for the day. Very fluid and smooth app. A couple things that I believe would take the app over the top would be a drag option from the main screen to be able to quickly add a new reminder to which ever list instead of having to press the + sign in the top left hand corner. That would make it quicker to add new reminders. I would also include natural language support to make adding a task or time of the task more fluid. Outside of that I believe this app is a must have if you own an Android.

I am frustrated by the alarms in this app. I had a task set for today at about noon. I decided to change it to tomorrow. I opened the task and changed the alarm from noon today to tomorrow morning. So far, so good. Now I look at the task in the “lists” view and it still shows the alarm as today at noon, while the “for you” list shows it as tomorrow morning. I had to restart the app to get the times to update. Things like that drive me crazy. I can never be sure when or if I will get reminded, which is the entire point of the app!

Notifications just do not fire sometimes. It’s not at all reliable. I have a nightly notification set for 7PM. I get this notification maybe 3 times a week. Sometimes I do not get it for days at a time. Notifications need to be solid.
