Kate Schroeder (ID: 000000eeb83affa8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/14/2023 Initially, this worked great, and I appreciated the reminders! But after a few days I stopped getting the posture reminders I set for every 20 minutes. Now I only get my walk reminders every hour. I tried changing the timing and removing and reinstalling, but neither worked.

khurune (Khurune) (ID: 0000008e84bc81b0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/15/2023 Started using this for work after getting RSI. Work as intended but is down to the user to make sure they follow the reminder. Would love a volume adjuster tho, as I find it quite abrupt. Now time to find a H2O reminder, unless you want to add that to :P
