### 1/5 — Schedule doesn’t work

*2026-01-16*

“I’m awake between these times” does nothing. I get reminders while I sleep, which is worthless.

**Developer response:** Hi td_stl, sorry to hear about that! Are you using Allow or Block mode when composing reminders? Sleep schedules only work with Block mode. I’ll make sure to clarify that in a future update. Please let me know if I can assist any further by using the contact option in Settings. Have a wonderful day!

### 3/5 — Can't make reminder execute a shortcut

*2025-10-13*

The app works well and generates reminders randomly per user specifications. But it advertises the ability to execute shortcuts, and I can't figure out how to use this feature. And there is absolutely no support information or tutorials on this app anywhere I can find online. 

When I try to add a shortcut to a routine I am given the option to use either "Text" or "Clipboard", and I have no idea how to use that to link to a shortcut. If I can get a reply from the app maker on how to do this I'll increase my rating.

**Developer response:** Hello MD253!

The way to use shortcuts in Randominder is to select the action and then enter the name of the shortcut exactly as it appears in the Shortcuts app. Keep in mind that this is case-sensitive. Optional: some shortcuts may accept text as input. You can enter that text in the "Text" option, or use whatever is on your clipboard at the time with the "Clipboard" option. Most shortcuts don't require any input so you can leave this on "None" and the shortcut will run fine.

Developers unfortunately don't have the ability to fetch a list of the user's shortcuts, so it has to be done manually by filling in the shortcut name. If/when Apple adds that functionality, Randominder will be updated to support that as well. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Cheers,
Dana

### 5/5 — Best App for random Reminders.

*2025-08-26*

I get all my random reminders on my Apple Watch and that just works perfectly for me.

### 5/5 — Excellent app! Confusing UI

*2024-07-13*

I’m trying to find a way to contact the developer to see if they can make an improvement for me. 

I work a night time security job where I do checks every 15 minutes on sleeping kids who are in a state of high risk of causing harm to themselves or others. My job is to make sure they stay alive and don’t hurt anyone. 
The problem is that if I set reminder alarms every 15 minutes, they catch on to the pattern and will misbehave between my 15 minute checks because they know the schedule. 

I found this app in my search for an iOS app or a clock or something to help me make sure I’m remembering to do at least 4-6 checks every hour but I wanted the time to be split up into random increments so they can’t predict the schedule. 

This is the perfect app!! I set up 9 separate schedules between 10pm-11pm, 11pm-12am, 12am-1am, etc. The small problem is I can’t schedule something through the last hour of the of the day, 12 am. For the 11pm-12am schedule, the app keeps shifting the time to PM or else adjusting the time I have scheduled. So the closest I can get for that hour is 11pm-11:45pm. 

To the developer, I work in software too so I know the feeling of getting emails requesting random things from people that doesn’t seem to fit the way the software was intended to be used. As a result their requests can sometimes fall off the side. 
If you can make this change for me, I’d really appreciate it!! 

I’m still rating 5/5 because it’s perfect for everything except that 15 minute window between 11:45pm-12:00am

### 5/5 — Does exactly what I was looking for

*2023-03-17*

This does exactly what I was looking for. Random reminders and it took me to my shortcuts. I build the shortcut to take me to a google sheet where I could record my energy level to start tracking how I feel at different times of day. Random sampling is the best way to do that and this is a perfect way to get random sampling. Also the support was fantastic!

**Developer response:** Thank you for leaving this review! You’ve made my week haha it honestly means the world. And it’s awesome to see how you’re using Randominder for random sampling. Good luck on your journey, and let me know if there’s anything I can help with!

### 2/5 — Notification limit a week is a bummer

*2022-12-08*

I don’t like the limitation of this app which even after paid upgrades limit my ability to set the notification for more than 64 a week irrespective of number of task I have. So if I have created one task of drink water 9 times a day, I am kind of done as this app will be useless as I am now only left with 1 more notification a week for new task which is biggest bummer I have seen.

**Developer response:** Hi Nilsej, Randominder has gotten a lot more powerful since your review and I'd love for you to give it another try! I'll leave my original explanation below to clear up the misunderstanding.

iOS apps are allowed to schedule up to 64 notifications at the same time. The operating system starts discarding notifications after 64 already-scheduled-but-yet-to-be-delivered notifications. With Randominder you can have approximately 450 notifications per week by scheduling 64 repeating daily notifications.

In order to prevent situations where you schedule notifications that never arrive, Randominder presents a gauge with remaining space, colors, popups and text explaining this limit. So if you already have 64 notifications scheduled and they haven't arrived yet, you won't be able to create more. Apps that do allow you to schedule more than 64 notifications at the same time are not telling you that they will never arrive. By design, Randominder does not have this problem.

In our email conversation I've included a link to Apple's documentation on notifications, as well as a link to get a full refund. Unfortunately it's impossible for developers to exceed this limit. Thanks for trying out Randominder, and good luck on your journey!

### 5/5 — Simple. Simple perfect.

*2022-02-04*

Pretty exactly what I am looking for, in order to remind myself from time to time for some general things like, as 'reflection questions'
A la 'Have you spent  enough money on healthy food the last month?"
