Doesnt work

I paid for the upgrade and it has never gone through. I even emailed and got a response to just hit restore purchases and it still doesnt work. Dumb app. Go with another. There are plenty others.

Hour Mate

Dont bother getting it, it takes your money and fails to download your purchases, it took my $1.05

Ripped off! No support! No response!

Tried to upgrade the full version. The charge came through no problem but the upgrade didnt!! I have emailed them twice with no response! I dont recommend you spend any money on this app!! Yes I already tried restoring purchase. Dont Work!!

My experience

I cant restore my purchase

Loved it until last update

But now it refuses to alert me on the hours I selected so its pointless. It requires you to use Location Services and I leave mine off unless I need it specifically. Very disappointed.

Why would you need . . .

. . . to know where I am to tell me the time if you werent using the location tracking data to sell to someone? Wont do any time telling without allowing location services. The data privacy assurance is obviously a complete lie.

RIP OFF

I paid for unlock everything said all this new stuff was coming new voice and beeps tried restore that did not work instead you added other stuff and say pay us again unlock everything should mean EVERYTHING ! Also they removed all of there other reviews and say they havent gotten enough reviews to list but they sure did have reviews before there update!!

Such a great app

Best $3.99 Ive spent on iTunes! Super relevant to what I need and very useful. I love the inspirational quoutes.

The best!

Try it! I hope they add a way to donate to invest in this concept.

Always on location???

Why on earth would you require always-on location for a reminder app? Using scheduled local-notifications is the obvious way to do this and has nothing to do with location. Guessing the developer has some kind of monetization SDK in here. Shady.

Needs my location?

This app requested to use my location all the time. Why does an app that only sends me hourly notifications need my location all the time, or ever even. I respect my privacy too much to allow that. The notification stated they dont record it in any way, but that doesnt mean they dont receive the information. And for a hourly reminder app it is not necessary at all. I deleted it.

Important App for people who need help to stay on task

I have looked for a app like this forever, working at home and getting off track, next thing you know 2 hours have slipped by. A simple reminder just to let you know, its time to refocus and get back on track.

Simple

Motivating and the app works smoothly.

Works

Beeps or speaks the time

No

Is this a joke ? Ive had this app for a week and not once has it said what Tims it was or even bother notifying me of anything waste of valuable SPACE

Is it JOke?

This is PJ

Waste of $ and space

Great idea but has never worked. Taking it off phone today!

So bad

It doesnt work properly.Do not waste your money.

EXACTLY what I was looking for! Works great!

I simply wanted something to beep at me hourly during the day to remind me to get up from my desk and MOVE! I was concerned when other reviewers said it didnt work, but I figured I had nothing to lose since it was free. When I downloaded and opened the app, my phone asked if I wanted to allow it to make notifications and I said Yes. Works great for me! Perhaps the other reviewers didnt give it permission to work on their phones... I even fully closed the app so it wasnt open in the background and it STILL beeped for me on the hour. Also, I like the simple clean app design. Well done!

Has the features other apps DONT

Im thinking all these people with bad reviews must have the power button on their app turned off, or must not have allowed push notifications. Works wonderfully, even with no app in the background! Perfect for what I needed.
