Alarm customization?

[vyescas]

Hi, I just downloaded the app and it's exactly what I've been looking for! I use this app primarily to keep track of my dog's pain medicine and needed to set multiple alarms a day for the same medication.
My question/idea is this: would you consider adding the ability to choose your alarm tone? Or allow for gradual volume increase?

Hello @vyescas,

great that the app is helpful for you!

It is possible to set the notification sound using the built-in mechanism in Android. Go to Settings -> Notification and reminder settings -> Notification settings default priority (if your medicine is configured to default priority). On the following screen, you can configure the reminder in detail and change the sound from default.

Hi, thanks for the reply!!
I have them on high + alarm since I initially wanted it to replace my usual alarms, which fade in from a custom alarm sound.
I was able to change the notification sound but it's behaving differently than I thought it would 😅
If I'm using my phone when the notification pops, it does play my chosen notification sound (yay!!), although the options that I found for notification sounds were not the same ones that I get for alarm sound options.
But, if the high + alarm happens to go off when I'm not using my phone, it'll play what I'm guessing is the default alarm sound.

I need the alarm since I need to give my dog medicine at 4 am but maybe my workaround is just making that one a separate medicine and the rest are just high (without alarm).

edit: nevermind, just missed her 4 am meds for the first time lol, lmao even. I hadn't implemented the workaround yet so I'm reverting the notification settings to hopefully get back the alarm.
