Reminders and your calendar
The Calendar view
A time grid showing your reminders and, if you have sync on, your calendar events.
Why you'd care
A list tells you what is scheduled. A grid tells you whether it fits. Those are different questions, and the second one is why calendars exist.
The 60-second version
Open Calendar from the nav bar or side menu. Tap an empty slot to create something at that time.
Going further
Tapping a slot creates at that time. You do not have to create a reminder and then set its time. The slot is the time.
Overlaps sit side by side. Two things at once are shown next to each other rather than stacked, so a double booking is visible rather than hidden.
Empty days can be hidden. Settings Calendar & Reminders Show calendar section even when no <i>things</i> are scheduled controls whether days with nothing on them take up room.
Events come from sync. Without calendar sync this view shows only NewTwos reminders. See Apple and Google Calendar.
