Hi everyone,
I'm after a calendar app that is a bit more customisable than the default one, or one that works how I want it to.
I have recently got my first smartphone and am really happy with it, the only thing I don't like is the calendar reminders- mainly the fact that the reminder sound is too quick, so i never hear it, especially if i'm not right next to the phone when it goes off.
I rely on reminders a lot (I'm quite forgetful
), with my old nokia phone (the old 2730), if I had a calendar event/reminder set, it would ring for about a minute then stop. This is exactly how I like it.
I would like it to be easy to set a reminder, would also like it to have selectable snooze timeouts (ie to be able to choose which snooze length when the alarm goes off).
I tried one called Nudnik, which has a longer tone, but now the tone just keeps going and going and going until you give it some attention. Which really drives me up the wall, especially when I can't get to the phone straightaway (eg if I have greasy hands from working on the car etc).
And I don't particularly like that fact that Nudnik works in conjunction with the default Android calendar - I just want one single app.
I've just tried Jorte but you can only seem to use either the phones standard notification tones (too short) or a custom one (which I suppose I could make one that's about a minute long), but it still doesn't allow for selectable snooze times as far as I can tell.
Any advice would be much appreciated,
Sam
