An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Once one of the best reminder planners on iOS. Last update was 9 years ago. Incompatibility with new iOS versions regularly breaks either the sound or the reminder creation. Those for whom it works stay loyal for years.

What users experience

3 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

Update 5-18-25: Well, you can say I'm 'not accurate', and I can point to over 9 years of no updates and canned responses to most of the people saying the exact same thing as me: that Alarmed is increasingly glitchy and unreliable in situations that it needs to be reliable.

Loved until app deleted all alarms & won't restore. I guess the developer gave up on listening to me. I haven't gotten another response & I am very disappointed that he does not care that the app doesn't work.

This app is better than any medication app I've tried! In daily reminders I put a med & what time to take it. I created a 'med' category, and I use the same sound for my med alarms. I take one med multiple times daily.
