Ratings and reviews

Bookmarking doesn't work, and attempting to delete a boommark crashes the app. Time selection works, though—unless the random time's minimum is set as 0s, in which case it only ever rings immediately. That's another thing: the app for some reason uses the phone's "Ring & notification volume" instead of its "Alarm volume," meaning that if you have your phone set to vibrate, it will only vibrate, instead of making noise, even if it overrules do not disturb. Also, the screen does not resize to fit.

I'm glad this uses open source libraries, and has a clean UI, but the function of the random ticker doesn't work. I've enabled notifications, and once the timer does end, the assigned notification sound does play. However, as it stands now, this is a glorified countdown timer, until this bug is addressed. (I recall it working correctly when I first installed so I'm not sure why it stopped working)

Has a few bugs 1. Since last night, the displayed time stops if the aps loses focus. Have to swipe it away then start again to get the clock to start again. 2. When you stop it the reminder goes off one more random time. Have to force stop to prevent this. 3. Also since last night, the standard display is very hard to read due to the colors. Had to enable dark theme to make it readable. 4. Also since last night the alarm only goes off once making it easy to miss. 5. The repeat pop-up does not work Have to hit repeat in the app. It looks like that anyway.but maybe it is bug #1 above. Missing features 1. Only operate during certain times. Currently I have to start / start it every morning and night. 2 It seems often to forget the previous settings so you have to enter them again. Still it is a usable app for making random reminders, in a field with few competitors.
