Reminders Widget

They... really aren't. If they were, I would've said so instead of singling out Reminders.
For the 2x2 widget, it looks like underneath the icon and number of reminders, there is a small space, then an area used for icons of anybody the list is shared with, then the name of the list, then room for one reminder item.
I think the idea is just to give you a quick glance of the next item on your list, and a shortcut to get into the reminders.
The 4x4 widget will show you 6 items and a count of how many more are on the list. Alternatively, other task/calendar apps may show you more in the 2x2 widget. But even the Calendars 5 2x2 widget only shows 2 items in a list, leaving room for the list title, and a "+XX more" counter.

I hate this. I want to have a Remiders list easily acceesible when out shopping.
It would be better to have more items listed.I can have a few more on the 4x2, and maybe more on the 4x4.
I really want to be able to see the lists/widgets available to mark OFF on the lock screen. I can click on a widget but if it takes me to the app....well, I could have easily gone INTO the app with a click as well.
When I go to a grocery store, I would LOVE to be able to "activate" a Reminders list with check boxes on the LockScreen (even if it can only show 10 items in the list at a time. Then I can actively check them Off as I go and more items populate. (I generally make a grocery list as I need items during the week or as I plan meals for upcoming week, then beforehand I reorder the list for how I shop the store so no running around, I can simply make my way through the list and it will follow how I walk the store).
THIS is the innovation we need, not the Widgets in iOS14....though guessing this innovation will happen after iO16 possibly when multiple 3rd-parties do this and Apple buys one or simply copies it.

Potentially some 3rd party reminder apps or reminder widget apps might be worth looking into.
