I still hadn’t been to lunch or drank water since going into work at 8. Decided that day I wanted to find an app that would alert me every hour, but not force me to turn off an alarm every time. Works just as well now as it did a year ago! ### 1/5 — CHIRPS *2025-09-25, version 2.0.3* DO NOT PURCHASE THEY WILL ROB YOU THEY ARE CROOKS!! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-08-27, version 2.0.3* Does not work, scheduled chirps are coming up inactive even if the time to schedule has not yet passed ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-05-17, version 2.0.3* Couldn’t do one simple task ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2025-03-13* This app is amazing super helpful with habit tracking and does exactly what I need. HUGE bonus is they tell you how to make it a reoccurring event within Apple iOS when Apple itself doesn’t have an internal app to do this, which is really disappointing. Best of all this app is free! I was ready to pay some stupid amount for a simple task that SHOULD be built into my $1k+ phone. Thanks chirp team, enjoy the coffee! ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2025-02-05, version 2.0.3* Works better than anything else. Love the bird tweet! This app is great and always works as it should. ### 4/5 — Nice little app that could use a few more features *2024-11-13* 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. ### 1/5 — No access to more chirp sounds? *2024-10-30, version 2.0.3* Disappointed not being able to get more chirps ? At least I don’t think I was charged. ### 5/5 — Perfectly simplistic *2024-07-08, version 2.0.3* Straightforward and easy to use, and the aesthetic is adorable. If you need anything beyond a recurring notification then this app is not for you but it is perfect for my needs! ## Frequently asked questions about Chirps ### What does Chirps do?
