When the Reminders app came along, I dutifully switched all my reminders over to that. At the time, it wasn't possible to set intervals as indiosyncratic as six weekly, so I settled for monthly. This was a long time ago and all has been well - until this morning when I found a stone cold flat shaver. On investigation, I find that, according to Reminders, the shaver was due to be charged tomorrow. It is pretty old so I concluded that the battery must be ageing and it might be time to shorten the interval between charges. But wait, Reminders says I have set a 'custom' interval. When I look at the detail, this interval is 'every month which has 29 days'!? Needless to say, I never set any such interval but tomorrow is the 29th so this appears to be Apple's 'intelligent' interpretation of a monthly reminder which happens to have been set up on the 29th, the upshot being that I had no reminder in February. I would hope that, since whenever they introduced the facility to set such bizarre intervals, an attempt to set up a monthly reminder late in the month would generate a warning before interpreting the request in such an unlikely fashion, but I haven't tried it. The good news is that at least the shaver battery is clearly still in rude health, having almost made it through the second month. 2014-03-29T01:06:32+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1039#4582 Lionel Ogden info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ I charge my shaver when it starts to feel slow 2014-03-29T18:10:37+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1039#4583 Trevor Hewson info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ It seemed fine the previous day, then refused to run at all the next morning. I clearly don't pay enough attention when shaving! 2014-04-01T21:38:23+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1039#4586 Michael Corgan info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Can't beat a Bic!
