Ratings and reviews

Used to be great, but now it keeps getting stuck. I'll go to look for a missed notification and discover it hasn't logged anything for days. Sometimes going into the permissions and toggling notification access off then back on will get it to work again for a while, but it never lasts long. I've also removed the app and reinstalled it a couple times, but that hasn't helped. Sadly, this is apparently just going to keep getting worse, since the app hasn't been updated in 5 years now..

It logged the notifications that show up in my notification bar, but I'm trying to track down a "phantom" notification. The sound plays 3 times (usually once, pause two more, sometimes all 3 at once), but nothing shows up in my notifications. I saw a suggestion to turn off NFC, but it's already off. If this app had been able to log what makes the chime play, 5 stars. Unfortunately, I can already see what's in the notification bar, but it does a great job logging those.

Hmm... This is done well, though possibly how it handles and loads larger databases when there's limited memory has an involvement in just how far back I was capable of going/scrolling through previous records. I have around 8k entries, but I can no longer scroll through them all in the app's interface.. it only goes back so far.. say, previous 100 records. It exports the full .json file, but even that can't be viewed on a device with limited memory. (3GB RAM). would splitting the db files help?
