    App that reminds me reliably

    I use the calendar app that is installed on every iphone from the start. But I am open to suggestions. Google Calendar I have tried too. It has the disadvantage that it only can be opened while having internet access which I don't have 24 hours a day.

    App that reminds me reliably

    Unfortunately I have been glad too early. The solution of the second problem brought the first problem back. :concern: In the settings I have chosen that I am reminded when the appointment arrives. Now the built-in calendar app only beeps once at that time which I can miss easily. In the sound...

    App that reminds me reliably

    I thought you meant settings in the app. I didn't know that there were iphone settings for this. I will keep on testing but I think your hint solved all my problems. Thank you. :smile:

    App that reminds me reliably

    I didn't find settings in the built-in calender app. I just checked again: I only see a button for searching, a button for adding a new appointment and a button for showing the appointments of the day. Where can I find settings?

    Should I give it up or is there any hope?

    It seems that you were overoptimistic. :concern:

    App that reminds me reliably

    One minor problem I have forgotten: Sometimes I want to enter a time like 9:37 and many apps only allow me to enter 9:35 or 9:40 but nothing in between. But this issue doesn't have the highest priority.

    App that reminds me reliably

    The major problem with the sound is solved. But while testing I found other problems: The built-in reminder app shows in the list of appointments only the date of the appointment but not the weekday. Unfortunately weekdays are very important for my job. The built-in calendar app shows weekdays...

    App that reminds me reliably

    Wonderful, thank you. :smile: My mistake was that I thought each calendar app "chooses" its sound. I didn't know that there is an iphone setting for all calendar apps.

    App that reminds me reliably

    In all the calendars and reminders I tested I looked carefully for "Options", 3 dots, a gearwheel or something like that hoping that some of my problems could be removed there. But I couldn't find something like that. Where in the built-in calendar or reminder app can I change the sound to a...

    App that reminds me reliably

    I can't find a free app that reminds me reliably of important appointments. The built-in calendar and reminder app beep only once which I can easily miss. The built-in alarm clock app beeps long enough but it can only beep on a certain day of the week and not on a certain date next month. The...
