Comments:
Better than most but that's a very, very low bar. The alarm doesn't go off if the app isn't on screen when I close the phone. Lots of settings that don't make any sense.
Useless. Can't find GPS (fix acquired, awaiting initial GPS position)
No alarm I have used the app for some time and really like how it works. Though recently it does not sound an alarm on my Samsung note 9 until i bring it to foreground. I disabled battery optimization for this app but this did not help. Unfortunately this renders the app useless
Does not seem to be able to find gps position.
Does not work on android 8, 9. Does not read gps'
