Need good replacement app for native Reminders App

[JsGrandma]

Evidently Contacts isn't available in the Reminders app in iOS 7 to set the location "when I arrive", so now I need to find a good replacement app for it. Any ideas? OR if you know how to use the Contacts app to set the location, please let me know that. I know it will let you place a pin for the location, but I have the addresses of the places I use the most in my Contacts.

Yes, they are...Sort of..

1. Initiate the Reminders App
2. Tap to create a new reminder
3. Tap on the "i" to the right of the reminder you just created.
4. Enable "Remind me at a location"
5. Tap on "Location".
6. If prompted, give the Reminders app permission to use your current location.
7. In the search box, start typing the name of a recipient in your contacts list.

Thank you so much! I wasn't asked for permission but typing in the name of the store did bring up multiple listings and I was able to choose the one I wanted, slide the bar over to "when I arrive" and have it stay. Thank you again! :rotfl:

I too would like to use this feature and tried to duplicate your instructions but do not see an "i"after the reminder i type as a new event? Did not go any further after that and deleted my test reminder.

Jag,
Try dragging the Reminder to the left. The "More" & "Delete" field appear.
click on more.
Hope that helps

Reminders still has a lot of work. The "i" doesn't always appear & I find it hard to place the cursor where I want it sometimes.
And don't get me started on not having an "All Day" setting anymore. They took that away several updates ago.

Good Luck
