How to use Reminders app?

[phlaug]

Hi, I am deploying iPads slowly to our field staff (~50 people) as our company's eventual replacement for laptops. I'm creating a short "manual" of work-specific apps and tips, as well as general iPad tips. A question for you folks: how many of you use Reminds and how do you use it? Even on my iPhone I've probably used it 4 times in a year, and probably could just as easily have used an entry in Notes. I'm curious if people have tips for using it for real productivity gains.

Thank you,
Phil

I like the ability to tell Siri to "Add xxxx to my yyyyy list". Saves a lot of typing.
