Running iOS 10.2 and Reminders notifications are not working. I set them on my phone often as they are very useful. At first they just weren't making a sound for the notification but it was there on the lock screen and the app icon was showing a badge. But now it isn't working at all on my iPhone (no banner, lock screen notification, or app badge) but they do show up on my Mac. Before anyone says it, I am going to report the bug to Apple. I would try the Twitter help page but I'm sure they're just going to tell me to restart and when that doesn't work to restore.
Anyone else seeing this? Any solutions?

It's been happening for a while. It's a bug we have to wait for Apple to fix.

I have this "bug" since iOS 10 i guess. Some notifications wouldnt show up on my iPhone 6.

But now on iOS 10.2 there is nothing on any entry in reminders. I really hate Apple -.- wtf is this? Some sick joke?

I gave up on the Reminders app awhile ago due to these kinds of issues. I've had problems with it since iOS 9 on my old 5s and now with iOS 10 on my 7. Recently switched to the Tick Tick reminders app and found that it is at least reliable and much more up-to-date looking than the ancient design of the Apple app. Also, it gets updates on a regular basis and it can work with Siri if you purchase the premium version. Your best solution is to try a different app (there are tons in the App Store). I wouldn't wait for Apple to fix theirs, it's had problems for years now.

Yep I get this, hard to believe such a basic feature is broken

I tried setting a reminder that goes off daily, first time it went and showed a proper notification with the badge, and now it's showing only a badge. As far as I'm concerned, I've had no issues with Reminder notifications, until I started using the daily reminders. Does anyone here with the issue use daily/recurring reminders only or is it also an issue for normal one time reminders?

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but reminders have been working for me across my 6s, SE and iPad Mini 4 (all have iOS 10.2 installed).

For me the issue has only come up with one-time reminders.

For me the problems occurred with repeating reminders. The one-time only reminders always worked properly.

I've had it happen once or twice where a reminder notification didn't come through, but for the most part they seem to be working.
