Loved it
Been using a long time and love how it’s very simple, and I can set reminders for the exact time and duration.
ADHD’s worst enemy
One day at work I went into hyper focus around 9am and didn’t realize that, six hours later, I was still stuck plugging away on the same task. 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!

CHIRPS
DO NOT PURCHASE THEY WILL ROB YOU THEY ARE CROOKS!!
Does not work
Does not work, scheduled chirps are coming up inactive even if the time to schedule has not yet passed
Doesn’t work
Couldn’t do one simple task
Exactly what I needed
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!

Perfect!
Works better than anything else. Love the bird tweet! This app is great and always works as it should.
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.

No access to more chirp sounds?
Disappointed not being able to get more chirps ? At least I don’t think I was charged.
Perfectly simplistic
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!
Iwatch
I would love love love to have my chirps on my Apple Watch 🥺😭🤓
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.

~almost~ exactly what I wanted
This is a really great app for regular reminder tones. I wanted something that would chime the hours and quarter-hours, like a grandfather clock, but with more modern sounds. This app, in its current form, does allow for that kind of reminder schedule. Plus, the interface is wonderfully simple, and not having to deal with ads is such a relief! That being said, I have found a few bugs:
1. Often when scheduling those chimes in the morning, I get a pop-up saying that the notification queue is full, and that the chimes can’t be scheduled after a certain time. I think this happens even when using an Automation through the Shortcuts app, but I’ve mostly experienced it when scheduling things manually. I assume this is a result of the larger number of chimes I like to have, so it may not be an issue for most people!
2. I’ve tried a couple times to purchase a new chirp sound from the sound library, partly because I wanted to support the developers since there are no ads. (Again, so nice not having ads!!) But both times I’ve tried, I’ve received an error message, and the new chirp sound never unlocks, even after the payment goes through on Apple’s end. There is a “restore purchases” button in the app, but everything crashes whenever I hit it. (Currently running 15.8.1.) I tried sending the developer an email the first time but never received a response. Was able to get a refund from Apple for both purchases.
3. Fair warning, this is the tiniest of nit-picks, but it’s something that bothers me so I thought I’d mention it in case the developer is reading: when the chirps slots page is full, “some” is misspelled “som” in the “0 free slots left” message. Again, that’s a completely unimportant thing to comment about, and I’ve probably made a typo somewhere in this rating too.
Overall, this is a very useful app with great potential, and I like to use it even despite those issues. Thanks to the developers for making it happen. :)

Perfect timer system
Best way to keep myself on track with how much time is passing with minimal effort.
Didn’t work on iPhone 14
Didn’t work on iPhone 14, difficult to set start and start time, does not vibrate with sound.
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!!

What I wanted
The app does exactly what I wanted, but is limited. The extra unlock prices are insanely high.
