Reminders is back (once again). But we gave up on NLP for a simpler but sturdier take for release. The reason for the slightly awkward placement and icon is to avoid it flickering in when you’re casually checking things off. I think it will do for now.

Otherwise there is a lot of low hanging fruit polish and fixing that we are finally getting to with most major features/experiments wrapped up. You should feel a solid tightening of the screws in this release.

We have some more under the hood work left to do (data migration / basic data backup system) but it’s really coming together!

P.S. the shop from the last TestFlight is doing well so far. I have absolutely no idea how TestFlight ‘sales’ will translate into real money when it’s actually out, but at least feeling like we can rule out a total hard flop scenario where this idea didn’t make any sense at all to try. Excited to see how it does!

Really looking forward to this one. Reminders will be huge! Haven’t had a chance to try them yet.  
Still no update in TestFlight. Will this be up before the weekend?

Perhaps I’m blind, but I can’t find the setting to remove text prompts. Was this removed?

Yeah it was removed, apologies. I liked how clean it was with them off, but going to push this off a bit and come back to it. (I’m thinking it could serve a purpose for new users, but maybe fade after some use? But that will have to be a post launch experiment.)

I think we might’ve set it just for fresh install, it’s a very minimal FAQ:

**Is there a list of features or interactions?**

The Rewards list covers it all!

**Where can I get support?**

[http://club.useclear.com](http://club.useclear.com)

**Is it an app or is it a game?**

Yep. Play is productive.

**Is it a toy or is it a serious tool?**

Yes. Less can be more.

**Is it fun or is it useful?**

Why not both. Enjoy!

“Fixed visible colon on formatted subheaders” -where can I find out what this is? and it may be related to my other question: did we lose the ability to start an entry with a space to make it a subheading with smaller text ?

Thanks

Hm no the smaller captions still work for me. Broken there even on latest TestFlight build?

The subheader’s are when you end an item with a : they format as subheaders. The : gets hidden when formatted but was displaying in the previous build by accident.

all is well, I was doing something wrong. : is creating subheaders and {space} at beginning does smaller text.

Strong update, oohwie. App’s looking buff. A few little bugs to report:

- Flick to top/bottom doesn’t work for me anymore. [EDIT: Works today but didn’t last night, weird.]

- Long (in this case 200 items) screenshots save as glitched/plain black.

- Not seeing anything in the Archive.

- @ still in Plamo icon title.

- And then there’s this. I don’t have anything actively swiped.

I like the new way to set reminders. It’s easy, and emplays a familiar interface.

But please respect the user’s time settings: When 24-hour time is set in Settings → General → Date & Time, do display time as requested, and drop the am/pm stuff. European users (and many others, I suspect) will thank you.

Reminders back 👍👍

And it’s so much easier now to use with the standard date:time interface

I’d suggested the new set time method months ago in the forum so must have been a good idea of mine

Love that reminders are back! I have a question about that: we’ve seen now reminders now coming and going, being aware of the challenge to integrate them in a good way. Are they yet here to stay or is this still under consideration?

Because to be honest, I love clear and use it for several years now, without reminders, it would not be a feasible app anymore. The coming and going makes me a bit nervous about the final outcome, so that I started to look out for alternatives… although I would really like to stay with clear!

Yeah they are here to stay.

The back and forth was with the more experimental natural language parsing take, which I think there’s something to, but there was a lot of messiness and edge cases with it remaining to solve.

This is much simpler! And feels totally solid enough for release.

Pinching, it turns out, is my default way to leave a list and after two weeks I’m still not used to the physics of the change. It feels like I have to pinch “harder” to get the list to close. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. Before it felt like I could lightly pinch and the list would close. It doesn’t anymore. Can you tell me a bit more about why you made the change?

</div>

Honestly to make it feel easier/less effortful, but we probably messed something up there. Will try to take a quick look at it today here.

How do you do your pinches? Is it like a very rapid thing and maybe not closing the two fingers that much before you lift off screen?
