### 5/5 — Great App, but no Updates for 10 years!

*2026-08-22, version 5.1.1*

I love this App and have been using the paid version for at least 10 years. Unfortunately it looks like the App may have been abandoned by the Developers, as there have been no updates for over 10 years! I'll keep using it until it stops working, however all my important Reminders are backed up on the Apple Reminders App, just in case!

### 2/5 — Used to enjoy this app!!

*2026-08-16, version 5.1.1*

Keep crashing nowadays with any editing or when adding new reminders 🤦🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️

### 5/5 — Looks aren’t everything

*2026-08-09, version 5.1.1*

It may not be pretty, but it does the job and it works great. I’ve been using it for years. I’m really thankful to the developer.

### 5/5 — Absolute gem!

*2026-08-09, version 5.1.1*

This little app is my most used app. It is just fabulous in its simplicity. As I get older & memory is not what it used to be, this app is a godsend. I think of something & immediately put it in Alarmed as I know I will forget it.
I just hope & pray it continues to work with new versions of iOS - at least until I kick the bucket 😂

### 5/5 — Great useful

*2026-08-02, version 5.1.1*

Great useful but can you also make Alarmed to be used with Apple Watch too?

### 5/5 — The best!

*2026-07-27, version 5.1.1*

I’ve been using this app for many years and it is so simple and useful I could not praise it enough. I never forget any event, appointments or even remind myself to call my nan every few weeks! 💜💜💜 thank you so much for making such a great app

### 3/5 — Alarms keep ringing

*2026-07-24, version 5.1.1*

Occasionally alarms ring two or three times after I’ve checked them off. I love your products and there’s no other way to give you feedback.

### 5/5 — Please don't let Alarmed disappear

*2026-07-23, version 5.1.1*

Alarmed has, by far, been the best reminder and timer app I’ve ever used. It offers far more functionality than the built-in iOS app. My favorite features are the Day Minders, the highly customizable Nag Me option, and the Timer Queue. I would be genuinely saddened to see this app disappear, as I haven’t found another app that comes close to replacing it.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-07-22, version 5.1.1*

Still Bombs out when going to settings
July2026

### 5/5 — Great reminder app

*2026-07-22, version 5.1.1*

I have been using Alarmed for many years. It is a great app and I love how it syncs with iOS Reminders to pull those in to the Alarmed app.  One improvement would be allowing me to attach photos or other documents to the notes section of the reminder. Thanks!
