Do not upgrade on Reminders, it will ask you to upgrade your database, if you do any older OS's will not sync anymore with Reminders. It's works even if you do not upgrade, it will just keep. blue upgrade button on the new Reminders. Sub-Tasks & the new icons are the only thing that don't seem to work.
I clicked upgrade on some of my devices and now it doesn't work. I can't create a reminder or anything. I even ask Siri and it's like she doesn't recognize the app. The odd thing is that it does work on my iMac ...but only my iMac (running Catalina). The iPhone and MBP all show zero. Looks like there is no fix for this so I'll have to wait until the next Beta?
The only fix is you have to have the new OS's running on all your devices if you pressed upgrade. That will not change in next beta. It upgrades your iCloud Reminders to support the new features. Therefore once upgraded, your older Reminders app cannot sync to the new Reminders app and vice versa, they won't communicate and have their own separate databases...
So your Mac has to be on the Catalina beta or you can't use Reminders on it? If so, kind of a deal killer for me. I use Reminders on all four of my devices. It doesn't sound like something that will be "fixed" by the time the public beta is out in July (I'm on public beta).
The fix is not to click the "upgrade" option. There's a warning attached to it stating that non-upgraded devices won't have access to your reminders if you do. So ... don't

Then how come all the devices running 13 and Catalina don’t show reminders except my iMac? Shouldn’t they be working if I clicked the upgrade button since they’re all running the “latest” version?
Yeah, they should be! Try editing or creating a list. I had to collapse and re-open the lists (on my Mac) before they showed on my phone. It does seem a bit flakey.
Editing and creating a list on my Mac where it works right? My iPhone isn’t letting me create any form of reminders :/
I notice that clicking the upgrade now button doesn’t do anything - it keeps showing up on my iPhone
