Nice little app that could use a few more features

I like this app for the most part. It does more or less what I was after, but it’s lacking some quality of life features that would go a long way to improving it. First and foremost it needs a more robust settings menu. The ability to switch to using a 12 hour clock for example, would be nice. Also, settings within the app for customizing the notifications, such as what type they are and whether they vibrate your phone, should be included. Maybe you can change that in the system notification settings, I don’t know, but for ease of use, those settings should be included in the app.

Overall, it’s a decent app with room for improvement.

Does not work

I have testing this app 5 times and not once did the reminder go off. It’s unfortunate because it appears to be quite simple which is what I was looking for.

More like 4 stars…

But I docked a star to hopefully to get the developer to take notice.

It’s almost perfect! As far as freebies, the available sounds and flexibility of scheduling frequency is fantastic. I don’t mind that you have to set it anew every day (due to Apple iOS notification limits) because my days are pretty variable, so it forces me to think about how to approach my day. The existing sounds are nice too, or if I leave my phone on silent on my person while I’m in public, it still serves my needs on vibrate.

Downsides: trying to buy more sound options…didn’t work. I tried for a week restarting my phone, trying “Restore purchases,” which usually crashed the app but didn’t restore on start up, and finally emailed Support via the email under Contact—nada. :( after no email, I successfully requested a refund from Apple.

I love the flexibility and especially how streamlined it is to set compared to other apps, what’s free vs VERY cheap add-ons, but if I can’t actually acquire those add-ons, I’ll look elsewhere. I just need more audio variety.

Really like it

I really like this app. I wanted regular reminders so I can stay focused. I love that the app buzzes and shuts off immediately without me requiring to snooze it. I also love the bird chirps; they make my alerts much less annoying. The only issue is I can’t seem to upgrade to other sounds; there seems to be an app bug.

Love it!

Since the death of the “hourly” feature in the reminders app, I’ve been trying to find an alternative in proxy. I happened to stumble upon this app, and to my delight, it works extremely well. I, for one, love birds, so this was also a cute twist for notifications. It’s not obnoxious, rather, I’d say it’s quite minimalistic. Love this app, you can do a lot with it.

Great app wish I could set a weekly schedule

This app is very helpful…when I can remember to turn it on. I typically only remember to set the reminders after lunch, I wish there was an option to set up a weekly schedule (ex: turn on every weekday from 9-5). Hope it can be added in the future! If yes, it’s a 5-star app. There are no micro-transactions or ads, this is a productivity-first app, something that’s uncommon in this day and age. Thanks!!

So simple, I love it!

Thank you so much for making such an amazing easy to use app, and even a bigger thank you for making it free! I will definitely be recommending it to my friends and colleagues :)

Simple, easy, free

Thank you for the simplicity of this free app to aid with tracking time passing. I’ve been using it for two days and it’s exactly what I needed and exactly as advertised. I love the chirp noises. Enough to hear but not to distract. Thank you!

Editors to add that this is about two weeks later and still using it. Has been very helpful.

Handy tool

Really easy to set up and exactly what I needed to remind me to check in every 15 minutes on a process I’m running every day for a few hours. Only thing I’d add is the ability to schedule for specific days of the week.

So far so good

does exactly what I want (regular reminders), no ads, set it and forget it style with the automation trick in the help section. I like the coffee donations model, which I will contribute once I tested it for more than 1 day. Slight hiccup with the time setup I hope to fix… otherwise very good app, thank you!!
