I don't use it too often - but it works for me. Make sure the reminder is
set and if you are making a test appointment, that the reminder will trigger
a few min later than the current time. In my experience, the reminders
trigger about mid-minute, not as soon as the time rolls over - i.e., a 15
min reminder that would trigger at 10:45, will not trigger as soon as the
clock rolls over to 10:45.
