Simply doesn't work. Seems to have nice features but simply doesn't ring, beep or speak at the appointed times. I have a message at the bottom screen of the app that says my device doesn't fire alarms properly? Moto e power.

Patti Quintano, 2024-07-14Does pretty much what I need: makes a noise on the hour. For some reason it doesn't get along with my device all the time, leading to missed or delayed alarms, but it's consistent enough that I'm satisfied, especially given I don't have to put up with ads.

Susan Knowles (Sooz), 2024-04-20Very helpful. I've used this for several years for an hourly reminder. It occasionally locks out but resets easily. I fail to understand why the hourly beep doesn't relay to my smart watch when all calls, alarms and notifications from other apps, do?
