You guys are geniuses-seriously- and when and if you ever read any of the stupid negative comments they are just haters or not tech savvy individuals but on occasion you might just get an idea from someone who gave you negative feedback cause, well, there is always room for improvement.. whether it be an app or just an area of in your life. That’s where the magic happens is in the grey area. Anyway I wanted to thank you, for helping me organize my life, it means a lot to me. Apple does not come stock with an app like this that can help remind you to drink water every hour. I just can’t get over how great this app is and how much it’s helped me improve my day to day functioning. I am a semi-professional who is now adulting at a much higher capacity and it’s all thanks to you guys! The only feedback I am going to add here is that I wish there were a few more noises. But that’s it, other than that 5 stars! And I am NOT the kind of person that leaves reviews for apps, but y’all this app has straight up changed my life! Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. ### 4/5 — Great but can’t edit reminders *2021-03-15, version 1.1.1* I really love this is app after searching for something that offers more flexible reminders. The only issue I have is that I seem unable to edit the text about what the reminder is for. So, I have to keep deleting it and make a new one from scratch. Not the end of the world but it’s an annoying glitch. ### 4/5 — 已經購買，很實用 *2020-12-16, version 1.1.1* 希望在關靜音時戴耳機還是會有提示。謝謝。 ### 3/5 — Ok, but needs improvement *2020-09-23, version 1.1.1* The functionality and beauty of this app is good. Adding reminders is unusual but ok. Editing reminders is bad. Difficult to edit one aspect of a reminder (like message or time), because you need to go through all of them to edit one. No way to disable a reminder (if you want to pause for a few days or weeks, must delete and then recreate later) ### 4/5 — Clean and helpful *2020-07-24, version 1.1.1* Just had eye surgery and searched for an app to track of all the eye drops I need to put apply in weird schedules. Echo was the only app to track in the small intervals and cycles I needed. I would have made this 5 stars if I could glance in the app to see what is coming up next in my echos. ### 4/5 — Just one suggestion *2020-06-30, version 1.1.1* This app is great and does exactly what I need it to. I just wish it were possible to turn off the feature where it asks you if you want to keep receiving reminders. Because of this I sometimes stop getting reminders without noticing. ### 4/5 — Simple, elegant, soothing color palette, room for improvement! *2020-05-19, version 1.1.1* I love how simple this is! I downloaded at least five other reminder apps and they’re all not clean to use, not simple enough to just “add reminder”, unable to set repeating alarms hourly or specific repetition that I like. This app is awesome because I can add reminders and set to repeat whenever; by minutes or hourly or every four hours. Improvements or suggestions I would love to have: 1. “Stats” takes two touches to get to. I look at stats quite often and would love it if it can just be one touch instead of two. 2. I completed my hourly work earlier but it still sets an alarm... wished it didn’t or has an option for me to turn that on or off. For instance, I want it to set alarm for me every hour, so one at 8 and 9 and etc. so I do my stretch at 8 and then I do it again at 8:50, so I set it to done. But then I at, the alarm still rings. That’s pretty much it, I really like this app! And I’m trying out the journal app, hope that will be good too! Thanks for creating this simple and clean! ### 3/5 — Hourly vitals *2020-02-05, version 1.1.1* Does not work for night shift. I tried to set a reminder starting at 2000 to 0700 and it would not let me. ### 5/5 — Truly wonderful app, 5 Stars!! *2020-01-13, version 1.1.1* I’m loving this app. I use it to remind me to do hourly exercises for my injured knee. In terms of improvements, I personally would prefer a single screen where I can set all my reminder parameters vs. the step-by-step walkthrough which is not as efficient. And it’s even worse when you have to edit an existing reminder, maybe you want to change one small details but instead you have to click 10 times (it seems) just to get to the right step that you want to change. You even have to click Next just to set AM or PM after choosing the time!! 2nd improvement is to be able to add more sounds and tones. I purchased the pack and only a few are useful. I just want to have more sound options plus the ability to add my own. But other than this, a great app. And my knee will get better thanks to it. ### 3/5 — What do the stats even mean? *2019-09-30, version 1.1.1* The stats portion of this app is just a random little squiggle of a bad graph with no labels or explanation. It appears to be growing in size since the first day I set my reminder, but I have no idea what it means. I get that they are trying for a simple interface but this is a little too far. ### 5/5 — Apple Watch App *2019-04-19, version 1.1.1* Great IOS app, when are you two dudes adding the Apple Watch version? Great job, guys! ### 3/5 — Best scheduled notification app, but could use a feature *2019-02-22, version 1.1.1* No emoji support. I wish that this app kept the UPPERCASE/lowercase that I input consistent in the notifications on my iPhone and Apple Watch. All lowercase notifications tend to blend in with all the other notifications I’m bombarded with. I love this app is use it to remind me to consistently focus my intention on my daily and weekly goals. ### 3/5 — 實用，還可以再更好 *2019-02-06, version 1.1.1* 完全符合我需要小時/分鐘週期提示的需求！ 美中不足的是，輸入提醒事項名稱時，無法使用中文。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, needs an update! *2021-06-05, version 1.1.1* Crashes every time. ### 1/5 — Too many crashes *2021-02-10, version 1.1.1* The App has been crashing lately after I tried to create a reminder ### 1/5 — Rather dissatisfied *2019-06-05, version 1.1.1* I desperately wanted this app to work, even deleting it and restarting it. However, it simply will not consistently remind me, skipping hours constantly. This bug makes the app useless for hourly reminders. The interface is beautiful and easy to understand, but it simply will not function properly. ### 1/5 — Buggy! Would be great, if it worked. *2019-02-16, version 1.1.1* I was initially so excited to find this app! It’s simple, to-the-point and provides a much-needed function. The app would get 4 stars from me... except it doesn’t reliably deliver notifications, which makes it completely useless. I have a reminder that should go off every hour between 8am and 11pm, every day of the week. It worked perfectly at first, but now I only get a few notifications a day. I tried deleting the reminder and setting it up again, and the problem persists. Being unreliable breaks the whole concept of a reminder app. Too bad, because I really wanted to love it. Fix the bug and let me love you!! ### 1/5 — Randomly drops reminders *2018-08-01, version 1.1.1* App starting acting weird a day or so ago - asking me to confirm I still wanted reminders if I did not respond within 60 seconds - has gone from useful to irritating overnight. It has now started randomly dropping reminders. No point using a reminder app you can’t actually rely on. ### 1/5 — 打開輸入第一個提醒的就卡了⋯ *2017-11-30, version 1.1.1* 沒毛用 ### 1/5 — Meh *2017-10-29, version 1.1.1* I’ve seen better habit apps before... It looks like they just copied this one from someone else and sprinkled some BS on top of it. I don’t like the confusing UI or how poorly it works. ### 2/5 — Lesson learned *2021-06-12, version 1.1.1* Note to myself, don’t buy the sounds and expect them to work on your Apple Watch.. App developer should address this in the description prior purchase. ### 2/5 — Almost Loving It *2020-01-18, version 1.1.1* This is a fantastic app save two irritating features: First, when you tap to dismiss the reminder, it takes you into the app, interrupting what you’re doing. Secondly, if you don’t tap, because you ARE busy it will send a second notification asking if you want to keep getting reminders...EVERY SINGLE TIME. Very frustrating. It’s like a Jr. High girl concerned you don’t want to be her friend anymore. I want to be able to easily acknowledge the alarm, without having to go into the app. Thirdly, I have to enable the every single day???? This is a REMINDER app. If I could remember everything I need to do, I wouldn’t need the app!!!! Fix those three things, and that’s a 5-star app for me. Otherwise, I love it. I’ve tried other reminders and they were awkward, this was easy to set up and the various alert tones made it more fun- as an aside, integrating iTunes tones would be a lovely addition. ### 2/5 — Would be perfect if it were reliable *2019-03-14, version 1.1.1* I really like this app and the concept is great; however, the app will not always function as it should and it often simply will not notify me for things I've set it up to remind me. I wouldn't recommend using this app for anything important, such as medication reminders that could be life threatening if missed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Will purchase if *2022-11-22, version 1.1.1* I am a day trader and do not want to stare at screen during the entire market time. Please allow 5m period timer so i can rest my eye and just look when the candle closes thats will be 😎 ### 5/5 — Busy Bee’s solution for self care *2022-02-23, version 1.1.1* I love this app and find it incredibly useful even on the free version. I plan on paying 4 dollars total for the additional features is provides. I have noticed it has been a liiitttle while since the last update has happened (4 years as of right now). I feel the minor problems that users encounter can be addressed, but I know the developer is a small two man band. I am grateful for a useful and simplistic app for my needs. After using the app for a few weeks I feel that my only constructive feedback would be to change how the stats look. I like the look that the developers are going for, but I feel for functionality purposes there could be a clearer way to convey the data. There is a lot of potential for this app and developer. I like it, keep up the good work!💕🐝 Update 2/23/22: I still really enjoy this app and have bought the two purchasing options. It can give regular gentle reminders which is suitable for my needs. 💖 ### 5/5 — Two dudes thanks *2021-12-04, version 1.1.1* Love the sound reminders which are not intrusive but gentle enough to be exactly that - a reminder. Thank you, you two dudes who have apparently actually never met. Nice app. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-08-23, version 1.1.1* Simple perfect app , I hate to write reviews but this one is hands down the best , it’s simple , easy to use , reliable and zero fees ! Keep up the good work ! If you’re hesitant to download this app. Stop hesitating and just download it . ### 5/5 — Simple. Perfect. Absolutely great. *2021-05-27, version 1.1.1* I use it primarily for stretch reminders throughout the work day. Set and forget reliability and more. No other app needed. Quit looking. ### 5/5 — Vibes:🌊🤍🥰🦋☘️🌱🌼 *2021-05-02, version 1.1.1* I love this app with all my heart because it gives me a sense of tranquility even when I write down the most stressful tasks. It’s definitely the blue background, which is a beautiful choice. I, who has never bought anything, might by the sound effects - too pretty! The app is very calm, fluid almost, and I haven’t seen problems *yet.* I only just downloaded it but I love it already and 100% recommended as of now <3 ### 5/5 — Simple & Exact *2020-10-03, version 1.1.1* I simply needed to be reminded to care for myself hourly & Echo provides that simple option. It’s aesthetic is soothing, I love the sound options, & I appreciate that there is nothing else to it. Simplicity at its best! ### 5/5 — 實用 好用 終於找到了 *2020-07-30, version 1.1.1* 我找了好久 終於找到好用的鬧鐘 我用來報時 每半個小時提醒我喝水 實用！好用 容易入手 設定簡單～ 提醒事項也可以輸入中文了 ### 5/5 — Nice nice *2020-04-21, version 1.1.1* Really nice little simple app I use to remind me to get up from my desk and do some pull-ups! ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2020-01-24, version 1.1.1* I’ve had an iPhone since apps came into existence, and I have maybe only WANTED to review one other app. This app is so simple and easy to use and customize! I was looking for something to help me time out my use of my vape and this is simply the best out of all the ones I’ve tried - by far!!! Gladly spent the $0.99 on the extra sounds even though my phone and watch are silent most of the time :) Thank you to the developers! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
