I'd like to request a change to the way iOS apps handle completed reminders. Currently in the notes list for iPhone and iPad* the reminder icon for a completed reminder is identical to that of an incomplete reminder. In each case the icon is a solid green alarm clock – see screenshot which shows a reminder that I had completed. It would be more helpful to have a different icon for completed reminders. Perhaps a grey icon?
This change would reduce confusion. Often I scroll through my notes list and see these icons and think, "I thought I did that already?" In the past I began "clearing" all completed reminders so that the icons wouldn't show up in my notes list, but I then thought I'd rather keep some kind of record of what I have and have not done with my EN reminders. The immediate visual feedback in the notes list would be helpful to me, and probably to others.
* If a note is open in the right pane then we can differentiate some completed reminders by a struck through date. A grey icon could work here, though I appreciate that grey text would also be needed.
