Re: Pimlical for Android alarm question

Thank you for your reply, John. 

I hadn't played with Google Calendar's settings until your post. "Somewhat limited" seems like a very kind assessment of the app's alarm settings. Is there no way to set an alarm that sounds until the user shuts it off (or snoozes, or a maximum play time runs out)?

Thanks again for your time,
Bill
