### 3/5 — needs landscape view on ipad

*2026-02-03, version 3.0.3*

landscape mode on ipad PLEASE

### 3/5 — alert

*2025-02-22, version 2.0.13*

it doesnt alert me just a notification pops up

### 4/5 — 👍🏾

*2025-01-17, version 2.0.13*

Great app! Good for schedules.

### 3/5 — iPhone only?

*2024-09-28*

Good app on the iPhone, but no alerts on the watch? Doesn’t make sense.

### 4/5 — Nudge

*2024-09-08, version 2.0.9*

It is a good app

### 3/5 — More interval options please

*2024-08-13, version 2.0.9*

Needs more interval options. Every 4 days, every 1st Sunday, etc.

### 5/5 — Very good but…

*2024-04-17, version 2.0.7*

It’s an amazing app! You can set times for the reminders to come and also set it so it’s 5 minutes early. However, I would like it to have separate weeks. Like week one where I could put the days I do cardio and then save it. Then I could make another for my weightlifting and save that. It’s just a suggestion to help stay organised but the app is very good and does genuinely help remind me!

### 5/5 — Super simple scheduling

*2024-03-23*

Exactly what I was looking for. Separate from all other calendars and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Nudge, My wife and I truly like this alarm for our meditation, works excellent

*2024-02-04, version 2.0.3*

T

### 3/5 — Drink Water Reminder? Only once a day!

*2024-02-03*

I tried this because the description said it would remind me to drink water. It will only remind me once a day! I was looking for something that would remind me every hour.

### 5/5 — Reminds me & keeps me organized

*2024-02-02*

I’ve been looking for an app that reminds me of things and keeps me on schedule. i downloaded several apps like this and they all either have stupid trials or are complicated to work or some don’t even send reminder notifications to your phone.

### 4/5 — Easy to use. Good app

*2024-01-26, version 2.0.3*

👍

### 5/5 — Pretty good!

*2024-01-20*

I have been looking for an app that reminds me regularly so that I can keep a good routine, so this app really helps. Only suggestion is to add widgets to your device to keep track of what you need to do during that day.

### 4/5 — Nudge

*2024-01-15*

Works really well but you do have to pay a monthly fee

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-05-27, version 2.0.15*

This app has one purpose, to send you notifications. Which is the one thing it doesn’t do.

### 1/5 — Doesnt even work

*2025-01-25, version 2.0.13*

I paid for it, and it worked for a day. Seven days a week reminders, and it just freezes if you even turn it on and off.

### 1/5 — No.

*2024-11-06, version 2.0.11*

Only dark mode and ads. Just no.

### 1/5 — No instructions and not intuitive

*2023-08-20, version 2.0.0*

I have no idea how to use this app. There is no help feature. No tutorial.

### 1/5 — Needs a manual skip for the next Nudge.

*2023-07-09, version 1.0.4*

Needs a manual skip for the next Nudge.

### 1/5 — the ads are overwhelming

*2023-05-05, version 1.0.4*

app was exactly what I was looking for. But the ads were SO excessive, hard to “x” out of, and obviously geared towards men. One was for a game that was very offensive. Unfortunate that the ads ruined an app that is simple, and easy to use.

### 2/5 — so. many. ads.

*2024-05-06, version 2.0.7*

that would be pretty good without the constant barrage of ads and asking you to upgrade

### 2/5 — Downloaded Nudge to check out..

*2024-04-13*

Because I was looking for a simplified reminders app but I can’t get back to the app to purchase it!
Not a good scheme if you really want people to buy it. Google ads can be aggressive but they’re not doing you any favors.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2024-01-26, version 2.0.3*

This app doesn’t have reoccurring events & the colours can be quite bright & add too often, it’s a simple app, easy to add events but reoccurrence is important if I need to add an event which is not possible , only a week event can be done

### 2/5 — No specific dates

*2023-12-17*

I would have bought this app if it wasn't for one critical flaw: there is no way to set a reminder for a specific day. It can repeat every week on a certain day, but if I want a one time reminder for a birthday or other one time or annual event, there doesn't appear to be a way to do that. The interface seems decent but if I have to use multiple apps to manage reminders it's not worth it, especially at $10.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2024-10-19, version 2.0.9*

Give it a few hours to start pushing notifications. It didn’t work immediately but now sends me the notifications I had set up. A great help for taking supplements through the day.

### 5/5 — Solid Reminders

Easy way to add reminders throughout my day. Would recommend.
