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!

I set multiple alarms ahead of time, and that helps me manage my time for each meeting in the day. The app automatically expands the options panel of an alarm whenever I change it, and this is VERY ANNOYING. I don't need to change any of these options (ever) but everytime I need to close the panel to see the next alarm. Also, I risk to change one of these options by mistake, when the panel is open. not useful! I wish options were opened only upon request, not automatically. simple and clean.
