Here are a few things that I love: - The app icon changes based on the theme. I didn't know that was possible! - Very clean visual design and UI. Really nice! What I would improve: - Some of my reminders from the Apple Reminders app have URLs attached to them, but there doesn't seem to be a way to click on them in your app. (I have to go to "View Note" and copy & paste into Safari). This happens for notes that were shared from Safari to the Reminders app. - That permission screen in the beginning is really weird. I just skipped it. I prefer to grant app permissions when I actually need them, not when I just downloaded the app and launch it for the first time. - The delete button is not really self-explanatory. I have never seen that specific icon in any iOS app, so I was surprised that it deleted my reminder when I clicked it out of curiosity. |

Re: urls, there's a property on each reminder for URLs, but Apple's Reminders app actually doesn't use it. I talked to the engineers behind EventKit, and they recommended I use it for my app (there may be an update where it gets set properly). This means a slight incompatibility between Apple's and my Reminder app. If you create a reminder using the Share action for my app (by clicking the box with the arrow pointing up while in Safari, for example), it should set that property properly, and you should be able to view the website in the app directly.
Re: permissions, I totally agree with you, but for this app, a lot of the permissions are required right at the launch of the app (access to reminders, notifications, and location are required for the app to be useful). I have built in some logic to prompt you when the permission is needed, but I figured giving the description of how each was going to be used would mitigate the up front prompting.
Re: delete button, the red circle icon was actually taken from iOS directly (Go to Music > Playlists > Select a playlist > Edit to see an example in an Apple app). But I'll give some thought on updating the icon to be more explicit!
