There is no repeat button for timers. You have to restart them manually. This means if it's on long then your phone is awake, you have to unlock your phone to set it again. Terrible for physical or creative exercises. Similarly, there is no vibrate only mode for timers. It will always make a noise. Tone cues are too distracting in the quiet and in a louder environment, overstimulating in addition to the vibration. Edit: my complaint is about timers in the app, not the alarms link in the link.

Hi Joy. We hear your concern and definitely want you to feel your alarms! The best step is to update the alarm's vibration settings to ensure the feature is actively turned on. Here's how you can update that: https://goo.gle/4dSwsku. We hope this little tweak makes your mornings much easier!

Like all things Google where the UX weenies have been let loose on production code, the new update does away with all forms of contrast, labels and iconography that may make it possible to know what you're doing. Good luck if the alarm's going off in the morning and you don't have your glasses on yet! Which way do you swipe the alarm? Who knows this week! Guess you'll find out in 10 minutes time! Good luck trying to clean out all your accumulated alarms 2 years later, "delete all" isn't a thing!

Alarm has not gone of one single time in the last two weeks. Firstly, for some strange reason all of my pre-existing alarms were set to vibrate despite me never ever selecting that option. I turned it off. no alarm. secondly, I've checked that my phone wasn't set on mute or vibrate. still no alarm. and now I've gone through resetting the app and changing the settings on my phone. still no alarm. the only thing that has worked is the notification that tells me I've "missed" my alarm.
