Paid a buck for nothing

I paid the buck & I keep getting a notice that an upgrade is needed. I’d give it zero stars if I could.

Crap

This app is the biggest piece of crap. They charge you to use it and it literally doesn’t do anything. I want my money back.

I read the instructions first - it works really well

This is a great little app and I did not need the upgrade to get all I wanted for just $.99.

As the app creators suggested, I went to their website and downloaded the instructions. I was especially cautious because of the low ratings (2.4).

In the app, I first selected my Sounds by gong to Menu, Sounds, and selecting “electronic-chime,” which is a perfect, simple one-note chime. I used this for all 3 times (15,30,1 hr).

Back on the main screen I chose 30 mins as the repeat chime interval.

I now have a simple pleasant reminder tone every 30 mins. I’ll use Focus so it won’t go off overnight. If at any point I become concerned about running low on my cycle of 64 chimes, I can simply start fresh again in 3 seconds: I press Stop, select my time (eg 30 min) and press Start.

It even saves the Sounds from my previous entry so I do not have to select Sounds again.

Response from developer

Thank you for your very helpful review.

Not what you see in the screen shots

Don’t do it…even though its only 99 cents, things you see in the pics of the various screens are mostly “upgrades”, their way of getting more money for a very poor app. Was just looking for something simple for bell chimes every hour but this is not it ! The 2.4 out of 5 rating is real…actually its to high !!

Changes sounds at 3 am!!!

I selected the soft “electronic chime” sound to be played hourly. At 3 AM, the app switches to a loud “Big Ben” sound. I thought of upgrading the app, but the upgrade buttons don’t work. I tried to view the webpage at summit pointsoftware.com, but the page is not active. I had to request a refund.
