### 5/5 — 18.5 beta 不能使用了

*2025-04-18, version 3.1.4*

鈴聲設定不了

### 5/5 — So cute

*2025-01-26, version 3.1.4*

A pretty basic app, instructions are fairly simple, but if you like kitties, it’s nice.

I used it to set hourly mews. Love it.

I get the sense that the developer is sincere from the help videos. Simple, but useful. Just do what it shows to get the hang of it. There were a few more advanced instructions I didn’t understand, but I’ll fiddle more later.

You can set a kitty avatar for whatever category you want and type your own title - that is your category page - and swish right between pages to customize however many alarms you want.

You can use the included sounds or bring in system sounds or grab from the cloud. 

Basically, you can set as many timers as you want, as far as I can tell. It’s really convenient.

You can turn banner alerts to your preference in apple system settings for the app. I already love the kitty drop down mew notification.

Just watch the help file videos carefully first; drag down top to get the menu.

When you open the operation page full of times and sound icons, click on top of each time you want a sound.

I think the 30 is for half hour but not sure on the details. Click on it too if you want half hour , i bet. You have to click on each half of the hour separately.

The time darkens a but when its selected. Select as many times as you want.

I haven’t figured out if you can use random minutes. I only needed hours so far.

For the sound, if you hold press an icon, you can set all your timers to a default sound. 

You can also choose two sounds per timer. I theorize that the second sound might be for the 30 option.

Anyway, I like the app.

If you want something more for general scheduling, this app probably won’t be the one, but if you want regular sounds, option to categorize them, some handy kitty sounds with a kitty icon popping up on your notifications, then you will probably like this app.

You get one kitty avatar per category you create. I would like to add such cute kitties to each timer in order to mix it up, but I still think it’s adorable.

The app is actually really easy to use and fast to set up. I fiddled to get the hang of it for fifteen minutes, including watching the help videos, then spent a couple minutes setting up my kitty cuckoo clock.

I am satisfied and will probably use this app for a long time.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-11-05*

So adorable. Very easy to setup and the sound selection is purrfection

### 5/5 — 对一个除了喵叫基本无感的人来说可以说是非常合适的小闹钟啦

*2022-01-06, version 3.0.11*

可爱，咖啡喵的图标在iOS15.2的iPhone8上无法显示，望debug。

### 4/5 — 能否取消震動效果？

*2021-08-25, version 3.0.10*

作者，你好，最近我看見很多其他的 App 可以選擇收到通知但不震動的效果，不知道是否現今版本的 iOS 開放了這個權限，如果可以的話，可否跟進這個功能？

### 5/5 — 时间设置需要精细化

*2020-11-10*

目前只能设置整点或半点的提醒 实在太遗憾了 比如我想提醒自己每隔50分钟 就站立十分钟 那每一小时就需要设置整点和50分两组提醒 但是目前50分的提醒无法做到 所以希望分钟可以自己设置 请问作者有没有计划增加该功能/大约什么时候增加呢

### 5/5 — 拉近了距离考虑考虑

*2020-09-21*

搞好没得法宝石红酒会有什么办法啦啦啦啦德玛西亚

### 3/5 — Not very clear on what some of the features do.

*2020-04-27, version 3.0.7*

It has lots I downloaded this app

### 5/5 — 凌晨四点，看海棠花未眠

*2020-04-08*

应该挺多人会觉得鸡肋，觉得这个报时有啥作用啊。我设置了四只猫咪在晚上报时，十点之后每半个小时一次。虽然我并没有改掉熬夜晚睡的习惯，但是每次听到猫叫都会心里一阵踏实，它也许不能改变什么，但是又有什么软件可以真正改变自己的习惯呢？
如果你非要问我那报时猫的意义在哪里，我会说我不知道。我不想吹什么“改变的力量”，也不想编什么“陪伴的温暖”，但其实真的要什么原因吗？它就这样不为什么的每天在我设定的时间叫一声，有时候我会抬起头看看手机，而绝大多数时候我都会无视。但其实就那几天，一年可能都屈指可数，我从忙碌的生活中抽身而出，听见了一声猫叫。
“凌晨四点，看海棠花未眠”
这就够了。

### 5/5 — 弄明白了就好点

*2020-03-04*

但是我还是不知道这个音量在那里调整，好像静音之后就没了，然后就是查看帮助的时候有问题，看完帮助的视频回不到原来的界面
