Due iPhone app review

Ok, for the last week and a half I have been using the simple to do/reminder app Due. If like me you are forgetful and need an app that won't just remind you to do what you your to do list items but continue to nag you until you give it attention then this is for you. I'll be honest, I have ended up swearing at my phone when it starts bugging me every minute on the minute from the start of the reminder time I set but I've got so much more stuff done as a result of it and that's why I got the app and why it made its way to my home screen in under 24hrs of use.
I should mention at this point that if you can't do the task right then you can go into the app and either use the quick edit buttons to delay the reminder in 10min, 60 min or 24hr intervals per press of the button or just double tap and edit the date and time. Of course the ideal way to stop it nagging is the tick box when done.
Ok so to reiterate an earlier point mentioned, this is a quick or simple task reminder so it doesn't do check lists or projects but it doesn't set out to do these and the devs are clear that they don't want to do this with the app either. This app is designs to create simple nagging reminders and to create the quickly.
Leading on to my next point is the speed you can create the reminders. Its the fastest I've found for this sort of thing. This is partly aided by some clever text recognition so if you set a reminder to "take the trash out at 07:00 tomorrow" it will offer to remove the date and time reference from the description and auto create the reminder for 7am the next morning.
The ui for Due is simple, clean and good looking. It's not going to blow you away but it's a simple to do app not a game.
The only negative comment I have is the reminder options in setting for the nag gap. You have a choice of 1min or 1hr. It would be nice to have a few more options like 5min, 10min etc but other than that it does exactly what I want.

In summary, Due definitely gets my recommendation. If I could give it 4.5 stars out of 5 on the app store I would and the only reason it hasn't got 5 from me is because I would like a 5 min auto snooze instead of 1. If you're forgetful or easily distracted from your to do list, then in my opinion this is the app to get.
