Ratings and reviews

This app is unreliable. Sometimes the chimes and voice work, and other times not. It skips a lot of times. I have turned off battery optimization. Worse, it uses far, far more RAM memory than any app I've ever used! This means either it is running some other Chinese spyware in the background, or it is very poorly coded.

So it does what it says on the tin but on android at least it starts to play the alarm an additional time every hour until you reboot your phone. So I woke up to the beep going off 8 times instead of once for instance. Idk if I'm understanding the exact cause but having your 5 minute alarm slowly take longer and longer to stop over the week is both funny and kinda annoying. Pls fix.

Pretty good, except that it needs a separate volume button. Developers instead decided to use the media control volume, and that, in my view, can create issues. It wouldn't have been so bad if they had opted to use the alarm, or, maybe, even the notification volume.
