Ratings and reviews

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.

I stumbled across this app after having trouble paying for a similar one I just wanted to be able to add my own sound to. So glad I found this one - it free a cheap one off payment that is cheaper than the sub for the other, and is WAY WAY better! Instantly got every Samsung tone ever made (seems like it anyway!) plus every song on my phone. I think the screen shots make it look more complex than it is; it just took me a short while to see what's going on with the settings. It's awesome. 😊

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.
