Best Android alternative to iOS Reminders app?

I just say "remind me to do this on X day at X time"....google now creates an alarm that reminds me. Otherwise I use Keep for notes that is supported by google now as well.

Unfortunately Google decided to bury reminders in Google Now, rather than having a separate app. Weird, since they seem to have a separate app for everything else.

Also seems to be a bug where a reminder set by voice will not always cause an audible/vibrate alarm... so if I don't see it in notifications or menu bar I may miss it. I believe the fix is to tap the onscreen button to set the alarm, rather than verbally replying yes.

That said I do use Google Now for setting quick reminders. I just can't seem to "trust" it 100%.

What do you mean buried? It is at the very bottom of the google now cards and looks like a wand? It has been very reliable for me, but I do use a nexus.

That is exactly what I meant by buried. To view my reminders I have to open Google Now and scroll to the very bottom (well I now use the menu button as a shortcut). That is just bizarre in my opinion.

Edit: Okay it looks like you can now say "show me my reminders" in Google Now to view them, similar to show me my appointments. I still would prefer a separate app though--just like calendar. Also, you can't even tap on a reminder that is shown to edit it... as you can an appointment. Just seems odd to me and in my opinion Google needs some kind of Reminders app.
