### 1/5 — Cannot set timer interval!

*2023-04-21, version 1.0.0*

Cannot change intervals   If I try to it closes app.

### 3/5 — Needs one thing

*2023-04-01, version 1.0.0*

I appreciate having a reminder to relieve pressure, but I definitely want the ability to change the notification sound, if only to make it much shorter.  I don't need a 4-5 second blaring alarm going off every 15 minutes.  It would be even better if I had the option, to just have my apple watch vibrate a certain way.  With those it'd definitely be a 5 star app.
