Repeated task with repeated reminder for not completed tasks

When I repeat a task, e.g. "feed the cat" I would like to repeat that in the morning and in the evening every day. I'm fine that I need to make two tasks, one for in the morning and one for in the evening.

 

But when  I set a reminder at 08 and 20, I want to get a reminder every day! Automatically, and also if I do not tick of the task for that day (horrible me, forgetting to feed the cat!). Is that possible and I am just not able to make it work or does that not exist?

 

Thanks!

    fyver I have just created a flow to do this for me on recurring tasks that I want a reminder on.

     

    Hope it helps, you can make the reminder be what you want with some logic if the same as the due date doesnt work for your needs.

    fyver I’d like similar functionality, it could be relatively easily implemented like a calendar “reminder” in outlook that can be snoozed.

    - Acknowledge the notification as complete.

    - If the notification/task is not acknowledged, repeat the notification.

    - Provide the capability to snooze the notification for a given period of time, after that send the notification again.

    Almost two years later and this is still an issue.  If I check off a task close to it's due date and time it usually carries the reminder over to the next day, however, if I'm a few hours late checking it off or if I check it off on my phone, the reminder may not carry over to the next day.

     

    I'm pretty sure the whole point of a "To Do" list is to "REMIND" you of things to do, right?  What's the point if the REMIND function doesn't work?

     

    I've missed a few deadlines now because I trusted this app so now i'm looking for a new solution.

  • I need also that on my android phone.
    To bad for a so simple function not included on the app.
    I will try Google keep notes and list that said that it can do that.

    fyver Yes, please make this a feature!  Is there a place to submit feature requests?

    Any sign this is being addressed? Used to be OK in Wunderlist. Basically, if I set up a custom repeated task (e.g. Tuesdays and Thursdays), I expect to new able to have an associated reminder/notification that also repeated each time. Right now the reminder only appears the first time the task comes up. Seems pretty basic requirement for a To Do list?

    Same here. Recurring reminders are not a feature.
