  9. The home screen for Remindar allows a user to view current lists based on distance from the location. When a user selects the “Search” box, the word search is replaced by a blinking cursor, notifying the user that they are able to type into the search box. The + sign indicates the creating of a new to do item. If a user clicks on one of the to do items, it will take them to the to do edit page. Clicking on the checkbox, indicates the todo has been completed. To Do list B
