RE: Re: Pimlical for Android alarm question

Another option for Android Users:  Calendar Snooze: ".no need to switch
calendar apps just to get a robust reminder and alarm system: Calendar
Snooze completely replaces the alarms and reminders of the stock calendar
and is compatible with any apps that use your Google calendar data like
Calendar Pad, Jorte, etc"

 

No affil, but I do use it.

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
