Hi Christoph,

thank you for the new release. We talked last year here and I was suggesting that auto-snooze feature. Can you tell me when this will be implemented? Because it would be really helpful for the way I use n'4get Reminder.

Best regards
Karsten

I haven't forgotten about

I haven't forgotten about your requests. Unfortunately I couldn't come up with a "quick fix" so I decided to do a more extensive redesign of the scheduling and interval options. This part somehow didn't make it to a final realease yet, but I'm still working on it.

Hi Christoph,
 
havn't seen an update for a long time. Are you still working on it?
 
I would really appreciate it, if you would implement the notification interval timer I mentioned some time ago. I've tried to use the "Interval" setting, but that is not doing what I want. I don't want the event repeated, I only want the notification repeated.
In one of the last updates you implemented the calendar view for the event settings. That is really helpful. For some reason, the week in that calendar starts with sunday (and not with monday like in my system). Would be nice if you could change that.
One more thing: I'm using SwiftKey 3 keyboard now. But for some reason, when I enter the event name, no word suggestions are displayed. Dunno if you can influence the behavior of the keyboards.
 
Best regards

Hi Karsten,
 
Thank you for coming back to me. 
 
In fact I have been working hard on the next release of n'4get Reminder. There are a lot of major changes in the background, but also some new features that will stick out to the user, such as group management and themes. Everything looks promising at the moment, but it's not 100% of how I want it to be when releasing to the public. There is a zoo of Android devices out there and it takes a lot of testing to make the app work and look great.
 
Thanks for the hint on text suggestions. I'll have auto-correct enabled for you.
 
News are not so good for the first day of the week on the calendar view. The calendar ignores local settings, it seems to be a known issue, yet I don't have a workaround at the moment. 
 
I haven't forgotten about the timer interval you were suggesting. I'd still like to see this as a auto-snooze feature, that keeps alarming until you confirm the reminder. I've already implemented the snooze feaute, auto-snooze should follow shortly. 
 
Regards,
Christoph

Hello.

I found "n'4get Reminder" in the Play store some days ago and I really like it. I bought the Pro version already but I have some suggestions for improvements to make the software perfect (for me) ;)

- I would like more options for the notification: A selectable interval for the sound notification. I know I can select an interval for the event already, which is great. But I need also an option for an interval for the notification sound and another option about how long the sound notification is played. e.g. The event is fired on 6p.m. The sound is played once for it and the LED starts blinking. The "sound notification interval" is set to 15min. So after 15 minutes the notification sound is played once again. (Setting the "sound notification interval" to 0min would mean that the sound is only played once.) The "sound notification timeout" was e.g. set to 2 hours so after 2hours no sound for this event is played anymore. The vibration option should probablly bounded to the sound settings to keep the userinterfce "clean".

- The notification sound file should be selectable. The user should be able to select his own file or use the system standard sound.
- How about an option for a dark (black) main/configuration screen (White text on dark background)?
- In the settings menu it would be nice if the current start and end time for "Ruhemodus" would be directly visible on the screen and only the changes were made on the pop-up window.
- Make the color of the taskbar icon the same as the corresponding event icon.
- The sorting for "All reminders" should be from nearest event to farthest event. Now it seems to be unsorted.
- Selectable LED color
- How about an option to automatically remove the event entry after it has been confirmed?

I hope to hear from you what you think about it.

Best regards
Karsten

Thank you for your suggestions. I'll be happy to include them in the future, as many are already on my to-do list. 

@interval sound notification:
What I have been thinking about for some time now is a "snooze" button, that re-enters the notification after a given period of time. If I catch you correctly, your suggestion would be an auto-snooze. That's a great idea, I'll keep it in mind.

@sound file:
Of course, this should be added soon I always seem to find something more important to work on, but it'll get there. 

@dark background:
There is a dark Action Bar on top! Doesn't that count? blush
No, seriously if this is an issue to many of you, I can add support for a second color theme. But this will require some level of work, that I'd rather invest someplace else. It would also increase the size of the app, as many images are background dependent.  

@silent mode:
I know what you mean. Actually, Android's suggested style is not to have values on the preference screen. But it's a bit odd, I have to admit. 

@color notifications:
Starting with Android Version 3.0, notification icons should only have black and white colors, and are then shaded to gray. However, I'll see what I can do to sneak one of those color bubbles in there. 

@LED color:
Again, I wanted to include this for some time now. I'll shift it further up on my to-do list. 

@removing the entry:
All right. For now, you could use the Action Bar or Menu to delete the reminder right from the details screen. 

Thanks again for all your input, it's greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Christoph

Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your reply.
 
@interval sound notification: Yes, auto-snooze could be the right term for it. The reason for this request is just that sometimes I don't hear the sound because I am... "away from cell phone" and then it would be helpful to get more sound notifications when I'm back.
 
@dark background: I wasn't aware that this is so much effort. Maybe you misunderstood me. I did not meant a backgound image. I was thinking of inverting the colors. So just white text on black background. Or is the background on android always image based and not just a simple plain color?
 
@color notifications:This is not so important for me. Just an idea. White looks good. Your current bubble icon is great and easy to identify btw.
 
Best regards
Karsten
