So far, this app is great! I'm starting a new on- call schedule today, and I wanted a way to be able to override the myriad of nested call and text notifications to specified settings at the click of a button. This does that, while also putting all notification settings in one easy to navigate and test place. It also has the ability to back up settings - all without distracting ads. Galaxy Note 8, Android 9.

This is it. I've tried all the other apps. Many have most of the same features but this one has them all. I can make sure I never miss an important call, text or even app message again. You can make it so it first does things like play a vibration and then a few minutes later make sure it wakes you up, even if your phone is in silent mode (if you set the app up that way). You can even have it do certain things if the texts have certain key words. This app has helped me to be the best employee of the company and ALWAYS be available for emergencies, 24/7. One thing I wish would be easier would be the ability to (more easily) choose sounds from alarms, notifications and ringtones, right now I'm only able to choose from one of those. I can technically move them but it would require moving sound files around with a computer from certain directories to another, very very time consuming and nearly impossible, while other apps seem to be able to let me choose a ringtone, notification or alarm. I use Zedge to download musing and unfortunately this app isn't able to let me choose those easily.

Works well on Pixel 3 XL with Android 9 Pie. I can't miss calls/texts from family, so I like that it works on calls/texts only not other notification types (you can get that though with the premium version). Is silent when Do Not Disturb is on so I have it set to run 24/7 and don't need to use the day/night modes. It's rediculous this is not built into Android and I might have returned the phone if I hadn't found this app!

Never miss a text, voicemail, notification again. You can set it to remind you in different intervals. When you e.g. read a text, it will stop the reminder automatically. If you want to stop the reminder, it has a widget for that too. It even notifies you when your battery gets below whatever low battery % that you set it for. I highly recommend this app. 👍

Absolutely the best! Easy to use, easy to customize, easy to learn. Now it's almost impossible for me to accidentally miss a phone call or text message. And it is highly customizable as to duration of sound/flash, loudness, frequency of reminders and much more. My congratulations to the developers, you did a great job!

Work exactly the way it should be! My pixel 3a stops sms notification all of a sudden, but with this app it essentially solve the problem. Five stars! 6/21/21 updated Not sure how and when it happened but the app only turn on the screen only when I miss calls. It doesn't sound the ring tone or vibrate although I have configured it to do all three. I have installed another sms app that comes with repeat notification so Missed Call Reminder is not configured fory sms anymore. Pixel 3a.

Fantastic app! I've tried so many of these, it's the best by far. And you can set it to alert you to ANY of your app notifications, not just texts and phone calls. You can also set conditions not to alert you to certain people who text/call or even to only alert for certain people. Been using it for over a year and so far not one error.

This is one of the few applications which prevent me from going to iPhone because there is no equivalent there. There was a brief time after one of the system updates it didn't work for a week or so but it is back in fine form. I can set it up so that the notifications get increasingly more obnoxious. In my business there are some things I must respond to in a timely manner or bad things could occur.

Had to change my review and drop stars because lately I've been getting reminders of unseen notifications even though there are no unseen notifications. Only way to stop it is to go to settings and force close the app then reopen it again. This is happening multiple times each day. Used to love this app not I'm unfortunately considering uninstalling it and finding one that work as it should.

I am really enjoying the flexibility of this app so I upgraded to premium in no time! Only thing it's missing is text to speech option where it could optionally say the keyword or setting name out loud in defined order. Lastly, everyone should have this app! Don't know why but app was difficult to find in the play store, perhaps needs more keywords such as custom notifications, etc added. Great job overall!

Performs well. If you get an update to this app, you may need to check your settings on all notifications for it to continue to operate properly. -> After one update it stopped notifying me, but after refreshing the settings, it continued to function well. Note: Volume for recurring notifications are set in the app settings.

Needed an App to repeat and remind me to Check In after another App called Sinemia (Movie Ticket Theater Service) sent me a message to remind me to check in when I arrived at the Movie Theater. Problem Solved with Prof Reminder (Pro Version), no more not checked in fees without using another battery draining GPS App. I leave Prof Reminder running all the time so I don't forget to turn it on when I need it. I have not noticed any real additional battery drainage running 24 hours seven days a week.

Outstanding app - well exceeded my expectations. The free version is plenty good for most things, but I got the premium version for a few dollars. The premium version was worth it for me as it allows me to set missed call / message reminders for specific people and for non- SMS messages (WhatsApp, FB Messenger, etc.), which I am finding to be very useful. This app allows me to stop compulsively checking my phone and just be at peace that my phone will let me know if I've got a message or call!

Doesn't work like it used to, I keep having to uninstall then re-install it back just to get it to work now idk why either but it's getting frustrating ASF since I never had to before. Replying: I have made sure to include the vibrate, DND, VOLUME & others & I dont have battery saver/optimize turned on never have. It works fine during certain times but not others when I actually need it to. Which is very confusing. I've not changed anything until recently deleting and reinstalling the app!

I've used this app for a few years, and liked it a lot. But then I began having a few problems and support was almost non-existent. When they did respond with anything meaningful, they always drop the ball after putting me through. Sending more information. In spite of the problems, I continued to use it until I got a new reminder app, and found that Prof Reminder totally ignores the notification from this app. I've tried silent notification and ones configured for "no sound", but none work.

Works on Android 14 but with one limitation. Selected notifications sounds don't work. I suspect this is because it hasn't been supported/updated for many years, as how notifications work in Android was changed several OS versions ago. Response to Developer. I already did that. Battery is set for not optimized. The issue, is that when you go into settings, apps, notifications there is no selection for sound. Only in the app. Not compatible with Android 14.

Edit 5/2024: This is still one of my favorite apps - still super happy with it! I love this app. It's so versatile and customizable, while still being pretty easy to set up. I love that you can set reminders for basically any app's notifications. I also love the custom vibration patterns (though I wish I had the option to manually make changes rather than having to re-record it in real time). The app vibrates my watch, as well, and with the custom pattern, I always know exactly what it's for.
