Reminders change in iOS7

[Louisealberter]

Hi, As I remember it in iOS6 I could set an alarm to remind me of a particular reminder, (an all day event) the day before said reminder was due, it seems in iOS7 that I am reminded only on the same day, is there any way to set it so I can be reminded the day before?

I don't remember the Reminders app having anything but one reminder time. However, the Calendar app has it so that you can be reminded twice (in addition to at the time of event). You could set it to be reminded up to two days prior. Could that be what you're remembering?

Thanks Marilyn, yes I figured that out, but I do prefer the reminders never mind thanks

Set the reminder a day early. When it goes off take the time to set it back a day for the second reminder. That should fix it rather firmly in you mind for that day, and next.

or set two reminders, one for each day. First says, "day before" or something similar. I do this on Calendars when I want more than two alerts, or need to set a reminder further ahead than the defaults allow. But only for stuff important enough to be worth the effort.
