How Do I Add Reminders?

[gemz4the1]

I have never used the reminders section before but I thought I'd give it a go to save me clogging up my Notes menu.

I added a few reminders and clicked done and they saved.  However, I missed one off and when I tried to add a new one, it won't let me.  I only have options to delete my reminders or edit an existing reminder.

And before you suggest, I have already tried to add new reminders the way I did in the first place, but again it won't let me.

I'm sure it is a simple thing to do but for the life of me I haven't got a clue.

A Google search brought me to this link. Apparently you can do it with Siri:

Hi
Try turning off iCloud sync and see if that helps

Thanks @Bambino but I don't use Siri as it doesn't understand my accent 😞

Thanks @Anonymous but I don't sync my reminders with iCloud.

So I'm assuming there is no + sign to add a new reminder?

Hi

Gemz I use my reminders app extensively and haven't come across that.

Try a reset by using the sleep wake button and home button until the apple logo shows.

Another Google search found me this. There's a troubleshooter at the bottom of the page:

Hi Gemz.

I'll make a short video guide shortly showing how I use Reminders, and perhaps see if you can see from what I am doing, where you might be doing something wrong. I'll add it on here once I have made it, shouldnt be too long.
