Can anyone recommend me some good apps for ADHD to help with routine and reminder and organisation.
I have a subscription to "Adult ADHD Day Planner: Weel" (formerly known as PiCal). There's a free version that's useful for trying it out, but it doesn't have all of the pro / plus features activated.
I love the pie-based calendar display, which I find really helpful for better visualising the day's events.
It also helps me with "waiting mode" - when I feel unable to get on with anything else, because I have something coming up later in the day. Seeing a graphical depiction of a big chunk of available time before whatever that "something" is can (sometimes) help my brain to accept that I could usefully do something in the meantime.
It's currently available for iPhone, iPad and Mac - with an Android version planned.
Other "ADHD-friendly features" are explained here:
I've just started using Finch and it is quite good, I use it for more of the self care elements.
I've found a free app to use via your web browser called Goblin.Tools made by an ADHD'er, there is the cheap app (Goblin Tools) less than £2 on apple and android. There are several other useful tools such as Chef where you can type in what's in your food cupboard and it will create a recipe using your inputted ingredients!

A Reddit post from the Goblin.Tools creator
The website to use the app in your browser is:
Just info dump a bunch of things you need to do seperated by commas and you will have the option to magically turn your words into an organised task list. You can even drill down on each task to add estimated time, sub list, etc.
If you decide to purchase the phone app you can sync with what you have created on your web browser or vice versa, I've just found this today and will be using it in conjunction with the free version of Finch.
I like Finch. It's got a little bird you look after by doing tasks, it's very adaptable and quite motivating
