  1. To add a scheduled reminder to a list you created, tap its name under My Lists.
  2. Tap the plus (+) button next to New Reminder in the bottom-left corner of the screen.reminders
  3. Give your reminder a name.
  4. Tap the small info ("i") button next to it.reminders
  5. Tap the toggle next to Remind me on a day.
  6. Tap Alarm to select a date on which to be reminded.reminders
  7. To be choose a specific time to be reminded on the date you selected, tap Remind me at a time.
  8. Tap Done in the top-right corner of the screen.

To quickly move your scheduled reminder to another existing list, tap the info button, tap List, then select the list you want to move it to.
