I bought this app for one feature that it can wake me up 4 hours before my first meeting everyday. But it never rang my phone based on my first meeting. No my phone is not in silent mode.

This app does exactly what the description says it does, and has potential to be exactly what I wanted, but it’s missing some key features that would have made it useful. I use an old iPhone as my nightstand alarm clock (it stays by the bed all day long. I don’t carry it with me), and I’m looking for a way to wake up based on various events on my calendar. That’s what this app is supposed to do—except it wants to fire off a reminder before *every* event in your calendar, not just the earliest one each day. you have to disable specific events as opposed to enabling only certain events that would be relevant to waking up in the morning. Because it’s designed to run in the background, the alert noises it can use are limited—and generally loud and obnoxious. if it had a foreground mode, you could use music of your choice. In general this app has a pretty tortured workflow. I assume it’s a UI bug, but you can only view events from today, so you can’t disable events you’re not interested in for days in the future without making a general rule to ignore “all events named ____” for instance. All that said, I could overlook the rather convoluted workflows and steep learning curve if it had an option to only alarm once a day with a gentle ringtone.

Don't overlook this app! I work in retail and have a different work schedule almost every day. I punch my work schedule for the month into Google Calendar and this app reads my events. With that info I can set up RULES based on event titles (in my google calendar) to have it ALARM a set time before each event. So when Calarm sees I have to work I have it set to alarm 1hr 30min before I have to work. And the alarm is not just some quick little sound bite, but an actual alarm with snooze capability! I no longer have to change my alarm clock each night to adjust for my different work shifts. It does it automatically for me!!! This one is a hidden gem in the App Store!

there is a bug in this release when you change timezones it alarms at the configured time in the timezone where you were where you came from! watch out this could mess you up severely! otherwise this app is 5 stars! i always hated how calendar notifications work in iOS and this app fixes it!!! my apple watch now will vibrate before meetings are scheduled to happen!! no more problems with missing meeting! brilliant! this is how the calendar app notifications should work! buy this app immediately if you rely in calendar notifications for meetings!!!

Finally someone feels my pain! Typical calendar reminders are nice for subtle hints, but I'm the type that needs a sometimes not-so-subtle hint. (It's almost as if my wife created this app just for me.) Seriously, it's not those appointments that are every week that are the important ones, it's often those out of the blue appointments that randomly show up on the calendar that are the 'must attend or suffer the consequences' ones that this (nifty little gem of an app) is built for! Love-love-love app devs who 'get it'! And it connects with my calendars, you're so kind my developer friend.
