App Review
If you're into lists, 'Blink the Bee' is the reminder app for you
'Blink the Bee' will remind you to pick up the kids, and to be kind to yourself, writes Sylvia McKeown

If you're a list person, here's an app that might interest you: Blink The Bee.
Blink is a chat bot in the form of a cute bee who reminds you of things you need to do. You can programme the bee bot to send you a list of reminders at specific times by sending Blink a text in Facebook Messenger.
However, although you can ask Blink to remind you to "fetch the kids at 2pm today", most of the time the reminders are listed and you can't programme Blink to message you specific things at a repeated time. You always receive the whole list at once. This can be a little limiting, repetitive and annoying.
