Shouldn't reminders be in the calendar app? I hated having event-type things spread around in multiple apps, when I have a personal event-database already. I really liked the change.

I don't use iOS, so maybe it's different there, but other than storing the data in Calendar, I didn't notice much a change in how reminders are set from voice.

Maybe they should be in the Calendar app. But here's the thing: I don't use the Calendar app. I use an analog calendar, the kind that hangs on the kitchen wall. My wife and I can share this calendar seamlessly. It works great for us.

In addition to the analog calendar on my kitchen wall, I also use the Google App for iOS. I came from Android, and it was really nice having some of the functionality that I once had on my HTC phone on my iPhone. One of the features that I was trained to use, that I really enjoyed, was the ability to set reminders from the Google App. I just said, "Remind to X at N." These reminders could be location based, such as "Remind me to get bread when I'm at Target." That was awesome.

Now, I just get this warning to move to the Calendar App, where I have none of this functionality.

So, I'm fine with the Calendar App having reminders. Sounds like a good thing. But why break a feature that I love to force me into an app that I have but will never use?
