To Do list
The home screen for Remindar allows a user to view current lists based on distance from the location. When a user selects the “Search” box, the word search is replaced by a blinking cursor, notifying the user that they are able to type into the search box. The + sign indicates the creating of a new to do item. If a user clicks on one of the to do items, it will take them to the to do edit page. Clicking on the checkbox, indicates the todo has been completed.
