Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

It's very basic and hasn't had any kind of meaningful update in more than a year. It hardly ever triggers. I set it up, it works for like a day, and then I eventually forget that it's installed. So disappointed. Old: I'm liking this app. I just REALLY wish it had a setting for when it's in vibrate mode. It'd also be great if I could set up different patterns for when it's in vibrate mode.
