I use Evernote every day; laptop, ipad and iphone; home, work, 

office, school - LOVE it.

 

But, I would like to be able to assign a reminder to a note. 

 

Example: free trial of Amazon Prime. If I don't like it, my ccard will 

be charged in 30 days. A reminder ping that could be set 3 days 

before automatically being charged would be nice so I could avoid the 

hassle of requesting a refund.

 

 

 

Thanks. Keep up the awesomeness.

Hi - welcome to the forums.  Thanks for this suggestion.  It's been discussed before that Evernote should have more calendar-related functions,  but there have been no signs that they want to become another 'to-do' app.  In any case adding functions to Evernote just so you can use it for everything isn't necessarily a good idea. 

 

You have to use other software for some specialised things anyway - why not just use some external reminder software to generate your alerts?  You can embed note links into reminders if there's data involved.  Have a look at Azendoo which looks rather complicated at first,  but I've found works pretty well as a personal reminder system;  and it allows me to link Evernotes with reminders.

if you want to create reminders for Evernote without leaving Evernote, you can use followupthen.com

 

You can share a note to an email address, for example 3days@followupthen.com, which will provide a reminder for that note in your inbox, in three days time.

 

If you want an alert on your iphone when this email reminder arrives, you can use a service called IFTTT.com which monitors your gmail inbox and generates an alert in an app called "boxcar" on your iphone.

 

I made a video how to do this, you can check it out here

Hate to mention it,  but Evernote has now added its own reminders in the latest beta release...

Evernote for Android only, so far, I think. But yeah.
