Yes the glance shows a summary of how many items you have on different categories. Taping on it takes you to the app where you can see the detail and scroll lists. I'd previously found I could only see the first three items on my grocery list but can now scroll with the crown. Liking this app even more

Apps Reminders app on the Apple Watch?
- Thread starter g2194315
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Also someone mentioned in another thread that you can Clear the confirm dialogue box by saying "hey siri, ok". It's a little inelegant but does work and lets you add reminders totally hands free. Love it for adding items to my grocery list while cooking and do far my favourite thing about the watch
I don't have the 'All' on the watch at the moment. There is a limitation of 20 items per list, that I'm trying to work around. I decided not to include that until I got that sorted out.
----------
I'm creatively working with some pretty interesting limitations at he moment. The syncing between the phone an the watch for reminders is a bit slow, so in the next update (currently in line for review) I'm adding a (+) button within each list for faster additions to the list.

Great! Glad it got sorted out. The very first version only showed the top 3 items, but I updated that the day before watch launch day. I'm constantly working on it, so I appreciate the feedback

By the way, the Watch component of Up Next is just the tip of iceberg. Here's a promo video I made for it last year. It's needs to be updated with the watch features, but it give you the gist https://youtu.be/bAtH9rY2OiM

Up Next was a little bit too much for me. I don't need all of the extra features that it offers, and all I needed was a simple grocery checklist on my watch. For that purpose, Daily Bread is perfect.
It has some poor reviews as well as $15 price.
Anyone know any others that sync with native Reminders app?
It's mentioned elsewhere in this thread but pointing out there is a 20 item limit. I went to the store with 29 items on my list but could not see the end of the list until I removed a few items. The process of checking off items on the watch was very slow, required the list to reload each time I did and was not consistent. I would press an item to remove it and it would remain or it would go away and the repeated press would remove another item. I'm sure this is to do with everything being new but so far it's no replacement for the reminders app on the phone. Loved being able to keep my phone in my pocket but past that it needs work. Hope Apple adds reminders as a native app that will store lists on the watch and update to the phone in the background.
All with Wunderlist.
I haven't tried doing this with wunderlist yet but did use next up as my grocery list today and it worked great, none of the issues you described for wunderlist. Only inconvenience was that each time I dropped my wrist I would have to launch it again, i fixed this by going into settings -> general -> activate on wrist raise and changing it to resume previous activity.
New version of Up Next allows for more than 20 items on Watch (thank you!) but it doesn't appear to synchronize.
My tasks list on my Watch is both different from the iPhone Up Next and that itself is different from the Apple Reminders app list (items that were deleted days ago, items that have been edited since).
Just me or is anyone else seeing this?

I have narrowed it down to the fact that Up Next doesn't DELETE tasks that have been deleted from the Reminders app - it leaves the "dead ones" on there.
ishabazz can you comment on this?
That's correct. It's one of the things I'm working on. Due to some backend complexity the initial choice came down keeping items that had been deleted in reminders or potentially deleting items that hadn't but were just not visible due to bad syncing information. Between the two I elected to keep the data. This isn't ideal though, so I'm working on better solution. In the meantime, deleting from within Up Next is probably best.
----------
The name of the app is "Up Next - What To Do When"
----------
That's something on my list of features to add, but in the meantime, I've heard a lot of great things about 'Due'
Was looking for a solution to the Reminder-app-missing issue and I almost feel on my chair looking at the price of 2Do. I bought this app back when I had my 3GS and to see it goes that high is insane!!

Slightly long winded, but there is a good workaround using wunderlist, iftt and ios reminders.

https://support.wunderlist.com/customer/portal/questions/10709826-ipad-calendar-reminder-apps-
I find IFTT a little temperamental, however, after some tweaking, the above solution works well. Any reminder i make on the reminders app or siri syncs with wunderlist, and is available as a neat and clean list on my watch.

This is the app to get. No bullcrap subscription fees or any of that nonsense. $5 a month for Wunderlist... seriously? It's a friggen reminders app. Pay $5 one time and you get Due on the iPhone, iPad, and watch. You can even still use siri to create notifications. Due has a feature that allows you to import reminders directly from the default reminders app, as well as delete them from there after import.

I used Clear https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clear-tasks-reminders-to-do/id493136154?mt=8 for grocery list, check list and it can remind you.
Bigger problem is that it looks like EDITED tasks don't get updated either? So if I change the details on a task it doesn't reflect the changes on my Watch?
Is this correct ishabazz?
I like the app Clear.
Although it doesn't try to sync with reminders therefore won't work with Siri, it does allow to make lists on the iPhone and can view them and check them off. Can even set reminders on iPhone.
I use it to make little lists of things I need to do and check off on my Apple Watch.

Cool!
I use Clear on my iPhone, iPad and iMac. I didn't know that it worked with the Apple Watch. I don't need to search for a reminder app for my watch now
Just found Reminders Nano by KendiTech

Perfect miniature Watch viewer for Apple's built-in Reminders app.
Exactly what I was looking for.

I got Up next but found it buggy so removed it.
I did however install Reminders Nano and think it it is great for a simple app. It syncs with iOS Reminders and you can complete them on the watch and then add additional ones via force touch.
We have a shared shopping list for home and I've been able to view and add items using Siri with great effect.
Highly recommended
