There is no repeat button for timers. You have to restart them manually. This means if it's on long then your phone is awake, you have to unlock your phone to set it again. Terrible for physical or creative exercises. Similarly, there is no vibrate only mode for timers. It will always make a noise. Tone cues are too distracting in the quiet and in a louder environment, overstimulating in addition to the vibration. Edit: my complaint is about timers in the app, not the alarms link in the link.

Hi Joy. We hear your concern and definitely want you to feel your alarms! The best step is to update the alarm's vibration settings to ensure the feature is actively turned on. Here's how you can update that: https://goo.gle/4dSwsku. We hope this little tweak makes your mornings much easier!

Alarm fails to show controls for snooze/off on lock screen, forcing the cumbersome action of signing into phone (or leaving phone unsecured overnight). REPLY. 1st, there is no obvious way of replying to a developer's comment, so it's a bit disingenuous to invite further response (I have had to click edit just to add this bit right now). But since I'm here: yes, I tried all the things you might suggest. I doubt I've left any stone unturned. As far as I can tell, it's now in your hands to fix.

Hi there. We are so sorry your alarm didn't ring! To make sure you hear them loud and clear, simply head over to your device Settings and turn on Clock notifications. This quick step should get things back to normal! Let us know if you need any more help.

I literally don't know how google manages to mess up a clock app but it does! The amount of alarms that I've had just not go off is inexcusable. I have reminders set for weekly things and medications, things I CAN NOT forget about. Alarms are the most basic of basic functions for a phone and half the time it's busted. AI programming it or something now? Embarrassing.
