Exactly what I was looking for
I wanted something that would allow custom random reminders and this fits the bill! It prompts me to move when I’m doing computer work and also reminds me to assess if I’m staying on the task.
This app is changing me for the better
I downloaded this app after reading an article in Cosmopolitan magazine saying it was in their top 8 for this kind of thing but never really got into using it. About a month ago I decided to get serious about my mindfulness practice and so I started using this app with the intention of really using it this time. I set the reminders to come three times a day at first and then upped it to five times after a week. I am now having them come randomly ten times a day but I notice I have started to spontaneously think of the practices at other times too. And I am more mindful all the time. Not sure if it’s also the reason I am sleeping better as well. But I am really loving how I am finally doing something rather than just talking about it! PS When I first downloaded the app it didn’t have screens for iPhone X now it does and they are really beautiful.

Ad version so intrusive as to be unusable
Every other tap resulted in an full screen ad or a dialogue asking me if I wanted to buy or both. I have up trying to figure out how I would configure the thing.
Love this app!
This app is amazing. It "catches" me at random times and allows me to see what I'm thinking which affectscmy moods. At the same time it remonds me to be mindful. This app has helped me more already tham any of the other apps I've tried!
No I don’t want to share every time!
I used to love this app when I first got it. Each reminder would sound, I would open up the notification and I’d have either my own or an app-provided reminder to help me stay mindful. Lovely!
Then the app started having ads. I get that developers want to make money, so I spent the few bucks to upgrade, no problems.
But every single time I open a notification, I am asked to share the app before I can get to see the actual reminder.
So instead of taking me to the content for which I’ve paid, with the intention of returning my focus inward ... I have to tap “share”, which opens up the iOS options to Mail, Message, etc - pointing me firmly towards the outside world.
Of course I tap Cancel because no, I do NOT want to share every single time.
By then, as you can tell, my stress levels are elevated because I’m being forced out of the app and away from the very thing I got it for.
This is a terrible move from the developer, to be imposing persistent requests to market the product as part of using a paid product.
I’ll be deleting the app and looking for a solution which genuinely wants me to be mindful. And I’ll be deleting the various recommendations I’ve made on my website. Nobody should have to put up with that.
Ugh.

Response from developer
Hi Janette, I am so happy to hear you love the app - and distressed to hear you are getting asked to share every time you open the reminder! That is no supposed to happen and I can't duplicate the problem myself so if you can tell me the steps you are taking that cause this, I will get my developer to fix it right away! The share feature is supposed to be an unobtrusive button on the reminders screen - not something that pops up and prevents you from seeing the reminder. That would be awful, no wonder you are stressed by it. I wonder if it's a notification setting or something. I really do want to get to the bottom of it so please do let me know so I can fix this and you can get back to enjoying Remindfulness! Highest and best, Naomi
Garbage app
Does not work as advertised.
Great Reminder app
This is a wonderful app that lets you create your own reminders. It is easy to use and wonderful! Thank you so much for creating it Naomi!
Love this App
This app lends itself to many of my needs. I find I do need to respond to it once a day to keep it active but that’s part of mindfulness
Quits from notification
When pressed on notification it opens app but quits from notification in about 2-3 seconds.
Response from developer
