#1 Now free
I see that version 2 of this app has just been released. It has now gone free, but there is mention of in-app purchases.
Here are the release notes from the iTunes Store:
This is a MAJOR update with many new features & enhancements. It is now a universal app with full iPad support! There are so many changes that a detailed list is not practical (see below for some highlights). Try it out, enjoy, and use the "In-App Mail" button to contact me if you have any comments or questions.
Some highlights:
#2 Great app! 5 stars in my book!
This app is stellar as far as I'm concerned! the inApp purchases are great, and well worth it! I don't use it enought, but when I do, I remember what it is like to use an app that is so well designed!
#3 This app is accessible
This app is accessible. All the buttons for the alarms work well when using VoiceOver. You can set reminders, timers and wakeup alarms. You can use your iTunes music as an alarm as well.
#4 When you first open the app,
When you first open the app, and start looking around, you will find that it is very easy to get through, and you don't have a fear of getting lost with in the app like a mouse gets lost in a maze.
The developer of this app is very quick to respond to concerns/questions that you may have for him, and responds with in less than 24 hours. He is very polite, nice, respectful, and knows what he is doing when it comes to developing applications! He has a reverse policy instead of making you pay for a full version app, or leaving out some features in the free app, and littering it with advertisements, he doesn't the other way around. You get the full version app for free, no ads, and if you like the app, or just wanted to pay to support his efforts, then you may do so by purchasing the premium app. In this app, there are some extra features that you get when you pay for the premium. However, this is optional, and since the free app is already the full version, you do not need these extras. However, if you want them, they are great to have. I give this app developer a thumbs up and a five star rating in the App Store! :-)
#5 a few unlabelled buttons
There are a few unlabelled buttons in the reminders and super reminders sections, but it is easy enough to see what they are for. Fantastic app!
