Ratings and reviews

This app is perfect for my ADHD. The customisation on the notifications is unparalleled by anything else I've seen. It has every feature I've been looking for. The notifications are so discreet and you don't have to interact with it at all. No alarms to turn off, no reminders to dismiss. Just set it up and let it do its thing. I've used it to give myself a little nudge every 15 minutes between specific times.

Purchased the Pro version as I thought this is good for hourly chime. Had it installed on s21+, now for a while - and very disappointed. Previously it used to work - occasionally and now It has stopped working completely. Haven't heard the chime for weeks. Looked through the settings and does not seem to be anything that is changed or need to change. I guess I wasted my money.

I have always loved and used this app. However, it was perfect as it WAS. I do NOT like the automatic volume lowering when it chimes and cannot find a way to disable that. If there's no fix for this or an option added to disable that behavior by the end of this month (May 2025), I will be UNINSTALLING this app and replacing it with one of two other similar apps that are free that I have used in the past before buying this.
