RE: Re: Pimlical for Android alarm question

NO way to do what you want but what I do is chose a long ringtone as the
alarm on the Calendar settings (ANDROID CALENDAR) AND THAT GIVES SORT OF THE
EFFECT THAT Datebk had, meaning it last long enough not to me missed?


Waiting for PimlicalA to have its own data and that means including alarms
etc but until then the alarm function is very limited.

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
