Well no. It’s not designed to do that. No matter what configuration of text list you are allowed to use, the application *requires* you use “All” along with either “Theirs” or “Yours”. My results have been that even though I’ve configured settings to include “my” texts, I have yet to see any of my own. The stated intention of the application is an important one, and I was eager to integrate it into my day. It always seems that working on myself is easier than remembering to work on myself, and that “alarm clocks” are necessary. My own reminders work with the tradition I follow, and these are my “alarm clocks”. The only texts this application references suggest elongated exercises that require more focused time than just a reminder should take. ### 2/5 — Sound isn’t working. *2020-08-01, version 2.3* I’m looking for an app that periodically plays a gentle sound to remind me to be mindful. I don’t want text reminders. Just a simple sound. But I could put up with text reminders if the sound worked. Unfortunately, even though I have sounds turned on, I hear nothing. ### 4/5 — Great app, but... *2020-06-14, version 2.2* Wish it could be ported over to my Apple Watch so that the alert tone would work properly. Other than that, I would highly recommend it. ### 2/5 — Potential *2020-04-28, version 2.2* It has potential Reminder set up is done with a Every ... 5 min, 2 hours etc Does not have once a day Or once a day at a specific time Or specific times or days. Ok That would be 4 stars But decided to test it out as is Tried every 5 min Does not work. Checked to make sure all notification needs are correct. Still nothing. When you open the app the notification is there but it doesn’t notify you. 2 stars. ### 5/5 — Great Reminder app *2019-03-15, version 2.2* This is a wonderful app that lets you create your own reminders. It is easy to use and wonderful! Thank you so much for creating it Naomi! ### 5/5 — Love this App *2019-01-19, version 2.1.6* This app lends itself to many of my needs. I find I do need to respond to it once a day to keep it active but that’s part of mindfulness ### 4/5 — Quits from notification *2018-12-11, version 2.1.6* When pressed on notification it opens app but quits from notification in about 2-3 seconds. ### 2/5 — No longer works *2018-02-19, version 2.1.6* When I first got this app I was impressed by the reminders. The reminders were great. Unfortunately, this app stopped working a while ago, maybe around the time of an IOS update. There haven’t been any updates to this app and it is just frozen. I tried deleting and redownloading but nothing helps. It would be nice to get an update, because at this point it just doesn’t work. ### 2/5 — Some glitches *2017-08-06, version 2.1.3* Love the little mindful quotes but there are two problems. The quotes disappear before you can read them. They show up on the banner as an alert, and when you tap them, they don't stay. Sometimes, when you open the app, you will find the last quote, but it doesn't stay long enough to finish reading it. Wish there were a way to make the last quote stick around so that if it comes up in the middle of something, you can check it later. As it is, it's an annoying interruption with no results ### 3/5 — Looking for less frequent reminders *2016-12-18, version 2.1.1* Works ok, but Missing functionality that I'm looking for. I'm trying to set a random reminder once every 2-4 weeks. The least frequent that this app does is once a day. ### 3/5 — Very nice app… need improvements *2016-08-23, version 2.1.1* I really like this app... gives you random quotes with ability to add custom quotes. But it's very buggy, crashes very often, mostly when you switch from other app to this, e.g. if you copy quoted from Notes app to this app, it will crash during switching... also when you open app from notification to read the quote, many times it quickly switched back to home screen, not allowing you to read completely …and there is no option to back up or share your data with other devices... also it has limit of 20 random reminders, that should be increased... ### 5/5 — A Very Good Help for Improving Mindfulness *2016-08-08, version 2.1.1* If you're working on becoming more mindful and in the present, this is a very useful tool to help. I like the feature to customize the time window for reminders, and especially the ability to write my own phrases as prompts/reminders. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No sound *2022-11-21, version 2.3* The random reminders show up as notifications just fine, but there is no sound to alert me, even though all the settings are turned on. Kind of useless. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2020-08-05, version 2.3* Too spammy with ads for a simple utility ### 1/5 — Ad version so intrusive as to be unusable *2019-07-25, version 2.2* Every other tap resulted in an full screen ad or a dialogue asking me if I wanted to buy or both. I have up trying to figure out how I would configure the thing. ### 1/5 — No I don’t want to share every time! *2019-06-15, version 2.2* I used to love this app when I first got it. Each reminder would sound, I would open up the notification and I’d have either my own or an app-provided reminder to help me stay mindful. Lovely! Then the app started having ads. I get that developers want to make money, so I spent the few bucks to upgrade, no problems. But every single time I open a notification, I am asked to share the app before I can get to see the actual reminder. So instead of taking me to the content for which I’ve paid, with the intention of returning my focus inward ... I have to tap “share”, which opens up the iOS options to Mail, Message, etc - pointing me firmly towards the outside world. Of course I tap Cancel because no, I do NOT want to share every single time. By then, as you can tell, my stress levels are elevated because I’m being forced out of the app and away from the very thing I got it for. This is a terrible move from the developer, to be imposing persistent requests to market the product as part of using a paid product. I’ll be deleting the app and looking for a solution which genuinely wants me to be mindful. And I’ll be deleting the various recommendations I’ve made on my website. Nobody should have to put up with that. Ugh. ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2019-04-08, version 2.2* Does not work as advertised. ### 1/5 — No funcionan las alarmas *2019-03-11, version 2.1.6* Yo lo quería por las alarmas y si el iphone esta en hibernación que es casi siempre ni tan siquiera se escuchan las alertas!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-11-14, version 2.1.6* Don’t buy this, it doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Hangs and only shows first reminder *2017-05-15, version 2.1.1* Hangs and only shows my first reminder. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Frozen app *2014-12-31, version 2.0* This app keeps freezing. Downloaded both versions and both freeze. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Awful *2014-01-09, version 1.1* App keeps freezing. By the time i was finally able to set up a reminder, i found out the sound option didn't work. The only thing that pops up is the written reminder. Very disappointing, definitely not worth a penny. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-08-11, version 3.0* Thank you so much for updating this brilliant app. It is very much needed in today’s world. ### 5/5 — Does what I wanted it to *2025-09-02, version 2.3* The App reminds me to be conscious around the day. And it has some cool ideas how to do it which I didn’t think about. Love it, thx. ### 5/5 — Fantastisch *2023-02-11, version 2.3* Eine sehr gute app. Nach langer Suche habe ich es endlich gefunden. Es hat genau die Funktionen die ich gebraucht habe. Eigene Erinnerungen schreiben und mich immer wieder daran erinnern zu lassen. Perfekt! ### 5/5 — Increíble *2022-06-21, version 2.3* Es una excelente aplicación para recordar lo que quieras. Yo la uso solo para mis propias afirmaciones, tengo más de un año usándola. Lamentablemente cuando inactivas los recordatorios y los quieres volver a activar la aplicación tarda 1 día completo para procesar el comando, además creo que ya es hora de agregar más sonidos. No he conseguido una aplicación tan buena como esta a pesar de haber bajado al menos 10 y ninguna me da lo que busco. Desarrollador, no abandones la aplicación por favor. ### 5/5 — Great app, works great on my Apple Watch *2020-11-29, version 2.3* No matter what spiritual or personal growth practice you are working on, using this app will automatically foster immediate and discernible results. The thorniest issue with our highest intentions is bringing them out of the quiet garden of our practice space and into the unpredictable hurly-burly of daily life. Remindfulness elegantly and simply solves that problem. The app gives you the option of creating your own reminders/affirmations/pointers and then randomly - you set how often one appears - you get the message, on phone or Apple Watch. It’s incredibly powerful to get a self-created message of wisdom or hope or empowerment and have it pop up when you’re being cut off in traffic, or doing the dishes, or watching The Crown. This is an app that I have been waiting for. It’s a game-changer if you want to be supported in breaking old patterns and creating and reinforcing positive beliefs and behaviors. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Remindfulness in the Palm of your Hand *2020-11-07, version 2.3* Beautiful, soothing in app sounds accompanied by on pointe messages to enable you to connect to source, in the most delightful ways! Simply awesomely awesome, with gratitude, thank you 💛 ### 5/5 — The best remindfulness app *2020-07-21, version 2.2* I really like this app even though does not work sometimes. The sounds are beautiful, I can set my own reminders, it does not drain battery. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2019-11-14, version 2.2* I wanted something that would allow custom random reminders and this fits the bill! It prompts me to move when I’m doing computer work and also reminds me to assess if I’m staying on the task. ### 5/5 — This app is changing me for the better *2019-10-07, version 2.2* I downloaded this app after reading an article in Cosmopolitan magazine saying it was in their top 8 for this kind of thing but never really got into using it. About a month ago I decided to get serious about my mindfulness practice and so I started using this app with the intention of really using it this time. I set the reminders to come three times a day at first and then upped it to five times after a week. I am now having them come randomly ten times a day but I notice I have started to spontaneously think of the practices at other times too. And I am more mindful all the time. Not sure if it’s also the reason I am sleeping better as well. But I am really loving how I am finally doing something rather than just talking about it! PS When I first downloaded the app it didn’t have screens for iPhone X now it does and they are really beautiful. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2019-07-09, version 2.2* This app is amazing. It "catches" me at random times and allows me to see what I'm thinking which affectscmy moods. At the same time it remonds me to be mindful. This app has helped me more already tham any of the other apps I've tried! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
