I love my iPhone. Some may say I'm a bit of an app junky!! I love discovering and playing with new apps on both my iPhone and iPad. Many I use occasionally but a handful I use on a daily basis. One of those apps is Due from Phocus LLP. It's an awesome reminder/timer app for the iPhone and iPad. It's so good, it has a prominent position on my home screen. I'm always happy to pay for an app that solves a problem and does it elegantly, simply and has a well designed user interface. Due does not disappoint and is worth every penny of the $4.99 it costs.

Due takes all those little reminders you have scattered about and puts them in a simple and clean display without cluttering up your calendar or task list.  To add a reminder, you simply click the + sign to open the reminder screen. Type in the title of your reminder, select the date and time and, if you want it to repeat, the repeat interval. Click "Add" and that's it! Add additional reminders the same way. 

When the reminder alarm sounds, you can either check it complete or snooze the alarm. A quick edit bar is available by selecting the alarm in the list to quickly adjust the date and time or click "Edit" in the top left corner to open the alarm for complete editing. Due does not require a data connection and works completely in the background via local notifications.

Due also features a timer function for setting up quick timers for cooking, napping or other quick reminders. These also include local notification alerts and snooze functionality is so desired. The interface is clean and simple. You simply "flip the switch" of the desired alarm to start the timer and flip the switch down to cancel. Simple!

Since Due works on both the iPhone and iPad, there's a handy Dropbox powered syncing feature to keep your reminders consistent across all your iOS devices. Even if you don't own multiple devices, the Dropbox over the air syncing provides a handy back-up of your reminders and timers.

Simple, elegant with a great user interface that gets out of your way, Due is my go to quick reminder and timer app.
