Ratings and reviews

I really want to rate this higher. It is an awesome idea that would have really helped me in my life with ADHD. And it did help... Every once in a while when it decided to work. Sometimes there are chimes and no voice , sometimes voice and no chime, and sometimes neither. I thought it was because of the free version because they need ad revenue and I understand so I bought the full app. Still doesn't work consistently. Possibly worse than before. And no one answered my email.

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.

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.
