If you all have time, I would reach out to Apple. They called me back in 2 mins. As of yesterday, I was the “only one” who had reported the issue. Whether that’s true or not, more cases might expedite a patch for this bug

All Devices Reminders is just.....so buggy

I’m seeing the same. I added a reminder on my iPhone (iOS 13.1) and after several minutes of waiting, the reminder is still nowhere to be found on my watch (watchOS 6). Syncing between the watch and phone used to be instantaneous.
so i upgraded my iOS devices to the new reminders format this morning...but they seem to keep flipping between the old format and new format. and im not getting any of the siri suggestions as i type. which is ironic because they were looking before i upgraded formats (while running the iOS 13 betas)
Your probably right. Now my iPad synced match up my iPhone. Notes was fine from start. Just reminders for me.
Between two iPhones, two iPads and an Apple Mac it's all going a bit crazy. I'm looking at iCloud.com and the number of completed reminders on my wife's account keeps on going up (into the thousands) then an error message saying "CrashReporter.heading" and "CrashReport.title" underneath shows up.
All very bizarre. I see the apple status page at https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ is saying everything is fine - it clearly isn't!

Notes is strange for me. I entered data on my Mac, then on my iPad and then on my iPhone. They were in various stages of update for the same note. They aren't sync'd right now even after all three devices have been open to the same note for five minutes. Normally, you type on one device and it appears in the others right away.
Working fine between my XS Max and S5 Apple Watch so far. I haven't not had any notifications not alter and no sync issues so far fingers crossed. Obviously useless on my MacBook until the update comes for OSX but I'm happy to wait for that.

Reading threads like this one makes me wonder how some people coped before smart phones etc. I get its frustrating when it stops working or you experience bugs. But people have been remembering theirs/their kids medication for decades before we had digital reminders. I think if you're forgetting things that important when your iPhone lets you down then you are far too dependent on it.

I wrote my own email system for a time-sharing server back in 1980 so I have some experience with productivity programs.
I used a DayTimer. This was a paper system in a notebook where it had two sheets per day. One side with appointments by time and the other side for notes. There was a todo area as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they made an App for the modern era.
I noticed when i updated to iOS13 that it takes quite a while for the reminders to populate from iCloud. Nearly gave me a heart attack when my list was empty.
That’s my typical action also. Frequently doesn’t sync back to the phone and/or my iPad.
I opened a ticket with them last week after updating. I lost all of my reminders. They were able to restore them to my phone, but they still dont sync to iCloud and obviously my Macs until Catalina comes out. Its bs they couldnt release an updated version of Reminders for older operating systems.
my wife and I have given up on Apple reminders now. We’re switching to Microsoft To Do. Thankfully I was able to export our existing lists on my Mac now just the hassle of converting from ICS files to JSON (I think!).
Apple just don’t seem to care that they’ve released such poor quality software.
Simple. By using something else. Let's take an example ... before modern mobiles, people would travel around, drive through cities etc with an A-Z / paper map. Nowadays most of us use our phones. If the map app suddenly stopped working, sure, we could go back to using a paper one, assuming they were still for sale, and assuming we knew where we were and where to buy one
But mainly, I suspect, we'd complain about the app and want it fixed.
iCloud is a paid-for service, with a basic 5GB given to people who buy an Apple product. Only once, mind, so you can buy the cheapest iPad and get 5G, or buy a load of mobiles, iPads, laptops etc and still only get 5GB.
As it's a paid-for service and isn't cheaper than the other players (e.g. dropbox, onedrive) it should work. When it doesn't, they should fix it and we should complain, not go "oh, why are you using your mobile? Why aren't you living in the 1990s?".

People used Garmin Nuvis too. I still use one for SatNav.
Garmin doesn't have an excuse if their devices don't work as they are single-purpose.
