### 1/5 — Nag screen forever

*2022-02-04, version 1.1*

On every device and joint stop. Tried to delete reminded everyday. I hate it

### 5/5 — Zen bowl

*2021-06-09*

This app needs to  be updated.

### 4/5 — A great app for relaxing

*2020-08-09, version 1.1*

Really like how simple the app is. My feedback on improving would be for the app to not require my phone to not be on silent, as this also means other things can make noise which is distracting. Also the screen needs to be active, which is not ideal for two reasons: when using the app at night time, and when the screen times out you have to activate again to keep the app working. I’m sure these things could be fixed and then it would be 5 stars from me.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2019-07-15*

No sounds at all, literally doesn’t work:/

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish

*2014-09-01*

It's just a single chime that runs for a fixed time (a few seconds) unless you stop it. You can't play several sounds at the same time - you have to stop the 'bonnnng' sound to play another, identical sound for an identical length of time. Why would anyone want this? What possible use could it have? I was looking for something to use while meditating but this is rubbish and I will be deleting it...
