The iPad can help you to better organise your tasks using the reminders app.

Tap on the reminders App to open the app.

The reminders app is very simple. You can create different lists on the left side like the list “Reminders” here in orange.

Tap on “Add List” in the lower left corner to create a new list.

Please name your first list “Shopping” and choose a colour of your choice.

As soon as you´re finished tap on “Done” to save your list.

A new list is now added to your lists on the left above the list “Reminders”.

Now you can start to add things to buy to your shopping list by taping on the grey + button.

You can quickly add another item to you list by taping “return” on your keyboard.

When you´re finished with your shopping list tap on the keyboard button in the lower right corner of your on-screen keyboard to fold in the keyboard.

To tick an item off you can just tap on the rounded bullet point. The item gets coloured indicating that e.g.  in this case milk has been purchased.

You can even use Siri, your personal assistant, to add reminders without having to type a single word.

To do so just hold the home button for two seconds to activate Siri.

Siri starts and asks you what she can help you with. You can instantly start to speak to her.

Speak the following command to Siri:

“Remind me to go shopping this afternoon at 5.”

Siri will automaticely add a reminder at 5pmto your list “Reminders”. 

You can check if it worked by taping on the the list “Reminders” in your Reminders-App
