Alarms are unreliable, I'm done.

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: NO

I switched to Now Up-To_date from iCal for one reason: I wanted to be able to customize the amounts of time I was able to snooze reminders for.

I just missed a pay period because the alarm that was set to go off 18 hours ago just went off now, to remind me of the deadline that passed 13 hours ago.


I am so done with this.

Alarms are unreliable, I'm done. - lacwbo

I too have found their alarms to be extremely unreliable. I had an alarm set to go off every day at 11am and it just stopped working for no apparent reason. I tried everything I could think of including, doing a save as.... and replacing the original data file but to no avail. I have gone back to the tried and true iCal from Apple and it doesn't cost me a cent!!!!

I have had trouble with all versions of Now Up-to-date since system 7.
