Interesting that it's limited to the phone versions, but I guess that makes sense....in doing some experimentation, the Reminder doesn't appear and still can't be edited on the web version, but at least it doesn't seem to vanish if you edit a task that has a reminder on the web. So is this why it stopped working for me on my tablet? I used to use habitica on my Nvidia Shield tablet and used the reminder function to help me to remember to eat and drink and do other tasks as I have no concept of time passing (total time blindness) so it kept me functioning well for the few months it worked. After an update the push notifications reminding me stopped showing up and when I asked about it in the bug report forum, I was told it was just a bug and should show up later. But it never did. But if its only available on mobile phone versions of the android app now, that would explain it. Without the notifications going off every two hours to make sure I'd had a drink, my use of habitica just stopped because I'd lose track of time, then felt like a massive failure for not being able to remember myself.

I just checked back now after a year thinking that things would have changed and there would be the option to have reminders on the web version too (since it was a requested feature and they said they would implement it) and its still not there. Which is sad because I can't use my tablet any more since it broke and so the desktop version is the only thing I can use now. But habitica without reminders is zero use to me. It just doesn't function as I need it to. And my mobile phone is a Nokia 3220 from 2005 so its not like I can instal it on that!

Whilst habitca is meant to help gamify tasks and keep you accountable, that only works if you are able to keep track of time properly to do the tasks in. This is a massive accessibility feature they are missing and I can't seem to figure out a suitable solution to setting reminders in any other way.
