| 2024-07-14 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-04-20 |  | | Does 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. |
| 2024-04-16 |  | | Very 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? |
| 2023-12-17 |  | | The app is very intuitive, many useful customisations, zero useless stuffs, no ads, and not possible issue or concern related to data sharing. One more customisation I was thinking of, and missed was, repetitive beeps for remainder as well. Thank you. |
| 2023-11-10 |  | | Really good and flexible app. Allows a number of permutation & combinations and the added advantage is the option to beep or say the time. I have set it to tell the time from 5 to 8 so that if happen to be lying awake in bed, I can know the time without picking up the phone. From 9 am to 11pm it just beeps and I can always look or guess the hour. |
| 2023-06-03 |  | | App does exactly what it says, and does it very well, and has many settings to make sure you're getting exactly what you want out of it. You can even edit the frequency of the BONG sound. Useful in Bongland where the bobbys will nick you if your bongs sound like tweetys. |
| 2023-02-14 |  | | Great app. I don't sense time, so this helps me to keep track of it. Annoying thing is that I can't pick a voice, its pitch and speed. The default one is a bit too high-pitched and fast for me. You are using Google TTS services, there're plenty of voices there. |
| 2022-12-08 |  | | This app does just what I need: tells me the time every hour. Even though I get the "your device doesn't fire..." error, it still works perfectly on my A35. I think the app throws that error when it tries (and fails) to notify me about an *upcoming* alarm, but not the actual alarm. |
| 2022-09-30 |  | | It's GREAT and FREE, but has some small problems. I like the interval selection and the time speaking in other languages, but the order of the beep/speak/ringtone should be customisable. Setting a custom beep crashes the app. The "wake up screen" option does not seem to work. BUG: when I set for reminders only between 21h-22h, it also notifies at 22:30 and with a super strange TTS voice (I set it to Portuguese-Brazil); seems like someone is being tortured (maybe its using Portuguese-Portugal) |
| 2022-09-06 |  | | Excellent. Easy to use and understand, and does exactly what it promises, including a few neat, advanced tricks in the settings if you want them. AND it's open-source— i.e. made in the spirit of perfecting and sharing good & useful technology, free for all (if it matters, that means the app is forever AD FREE). Glad i found this app! |
