ios options to create time-based reminders or messages

[Richard Miller]

Thanks. I'm looking into this.

At first glance, it appears that... whenever the app is not running... 
this method will only tell the user that a local notification is waiting 
to be viewed. It cannot display the actual message until the user 
presses the "View" button, which then opens the app to display the 
message. Do I understand this correctly?

Thanks.
Richard
