Description of App
Ever wished you could jot down a task and set up a reminder alert really, really fast? Yeah, we do too.
The beauty of Due lies in its simplicity. There's no account to create, no start or end date to set, no need to prioritize, tag nor categorize.
What there is however are what that matters: a note for your reminder and an alert that is set up in mere seconds.

Apple Watch support
I just looked on the app store, and found that this app now has support for Apple Watch.
New release
I just got this app, and I really love it. It's going to be very helpful to me, because I tend to forget things a lot. I'm definitely going to try to nag feature. Grin.
keep being prompted to buy more stuff
I just got this app, because I thought it'd be useful to remind me to do stuff around the house. So far, it's working well but when I try to change the default sound to something else, I get prompted to buy more sounds with more intervals for $2.99. I believe you should be able to change the default sound without having this happen. There's a huge bunch of sounds available, but I can't change it without being prompted to buy more stuff. Am I missing something?
The developer is receptive
Here's part of an email the developer sent me. Jim,
Thanks for the kind comments regarding Alarmed :)
I’m really glad you are liking the VoiceOver support, however I need your help! I’ve always tried to make Alarmed really VoiceOver friendly. In the latest update, I ran into a few issues. One in particular is that several important functions are in the “swipe-left” menu on an item. At one point I had figured out how to do this in VoiceOver, but now I am having troubles getting it to work. I also had problems in dismissing the swipe-left menu once I had activated it. To be clear, this is the menu that appears in most apps that is commonly known as “swipe to delete”. In Alarmed, there are more options than just delete. Can you get this to work?
Also, I would be very interested in any comments on areas that need improvement. Did I forget to label any buttons? Are the VoiceOver hints and labels done correctly?
As far as Errands, when I next update it I will add better VoiceOver support, but for now my attention is on Alarmed.
Best Regards,
David
wait, i'm confused?
I see another app called Alarmed being spoken about, is this another name for the same app? Or is Alarmed another app completely? I feel like I just wasted 5 bucks.
