Reminders on the iOS platform can be used to help those who are concerned about forgetting something important. However, they can be a lifeline for those who suffer from absent-mindedness.

In fact, they are useful for anything you want to keep track of or be reminded about.
Here’s a selection of the top four.
Due – Reminders, Countdown Timers
As far as iPhone reminder apps go, DUE is one of the best and most overall highly rated.
