I think the confusion for me was that there is also a pay-per-word price; then for me the limit on the number of phrases does not feel logical. Phrases as tr() calls for me as a de…

As others replied; it does. But the API does not behave consistent on different brands and API levels. Also some manufacturers cancel alarms when the user swipes away an app (which…

We are running a (very niche) platform + app for people with special needs, where accurate and offline alarms are necessary: this is a big problem for us. I think about 1/3 of all …
