Other Comments

A few notes: I don’t know if it was due to the app, iOS or the Watch, but it took more than a day after downloading for this app to appear in the list of available apps in the Watch app on my iPhone. At the moment, it’s also not completely reliable/consistent on the Apple Watch. I am still trying to figure out if this is due to a problem with the app itself or something I have misconfigured.

It would be nice if this app were to offer alerts on the quarter hour and also have a few more alert sounds (currently you can have a cuckoo, a ding, or a dong).

Haptic feedback

Hello. In the description it says something about haptic feedback. Is this like it will vibrate the hour? And also, will the sound play if I set it to do so on the watch?
