why doesn't the perfect reminder app exist

[brandon429]

I have downloaded several popular ones, for the love of Pete all I want is to remember a birthday and have the phone ring like a call on the day and time I set.

All task/reminder apps so far give a barely audible tweet and a half second bar notice that doesn't help when in my pocket, I can't hear it. in all the appverse does one exist that will do exactly what I want

I don't want to pick fifty optional ringtones for an Alert I want it to use the exact one and exact volume of an incoming call I've already chosen.

I haven't tried this, but I noticed it the other day.

Ok Astrid is decent. Same weak alarm sound but at least it repeats.

Problem: it uses 17 megs in background. I'm on galaxy s2
After running lots of programs I like to go into active applications occasionally, especially when its a red alert, to free up ram space. I noticed it kills update ringers.

So that means if I have a reminder set for two months from now and if I ever hit clear active apps even once in two months to free up space all my reminders are ruined? See what I mean-there's always a catch as to why I'll miss an important reminder.

I put birthday reminders into my calendar as repeating events. Set my default calendar notification sound to be loud, and I use "Calendar Snooze" (one of the first apps I installed) to give me a snoozable repeating alarm.
