About Random Reminder
The default alarm in our Android smart-phone provides us a way to schedule alarm at exact date/time. However there will be some time when what we want is a "evenly spaced out random alarm over a relatively long time span" instead. This app is to provide this feature.
For configure, set Start Time, End Time, Number of random times to occur, repeating, ringtone for the alarm.
Important points to note:
- Set screen timeout to be longer so the ringtone can play longer to get your attention.
- Disable any screen lock because it may prevent the app from waking the smart-phone up to play the ringtone.
- With 15 minutes to test the app, try not to input a high number for random times. This is to prevent overwhelming the AlarmManager in double-quick succession and also allow the ringtone resources to be released in time for the next scheduled alarm.
- Lastly if you find not enough time to test, you can get it first and if not satisfied, drop me an email and I will do a full refund.
The application support English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese display.

Can't set time periods that start ealier than whatever the current time. Can't name the alert, just pop's up the app name. The only other app on the market functions better but always vibrates, overrides phone settings: very annoying.

I have messed with this app for three days.. It does not work. I disabled all locks, everything suggested. Still nothing. Too bad. I really needed this.

Can't name the reminders. Can't schedule days (e.g. for reminders during only working days). Great idea, really sloppy implementation.

Just what I wanted. A simple and well designed reminder for those who need to track/monitor things at random intervals.

I want to like this, but out is very buggy. If I could find any other app providing the features I need, I would switch. When starting, if the day has already begun, many alarms will rung simultaneously and loudly. Often, it leaves the vibration on, stuck, fixed only by rebooting my phone. No way to have the app start of phone boot. Easy to forget.

I can't find another app that does this and I really rely on it.

Doesn't work; author, please remove this app from the store, as it wastes people's time and prevents a working app from being developed.

To my knowledge, this is the only application that, at least nominally, would trigger arbitrarily many reminders randomly spaced throughout a given period of time. Unfortunately, it is poorly programmed and as a consequence cannot be relied on: you are never sure when the app is running and whether it will sound at all. Moreover, the app will automatically stop working after the period is over, forcing users who would like to use it for more than one continuous day to restart it manually.

I posted several months back on AndroidCentral looking for an app like this, and I suspect the author largely wrote this app in answer to my post. With that in mind, it's hard for me to be overly critical. And that said, this is exactly the app I wanted - but it's not stable on my S3. For a first release, it's not horrid - but as it is, I can't rely on it. I'm hopeful that it's well-maintained and that as it matures it gets better. YMMV
