Yoctoville Alarmed app on Iphone not allowing edit and crashing

After updating to iOS 17 released yesterday, The Alarmed app suddenly will not allow edit or go to settings. Its crashing with every click.


From the reference link: Alarmed app on Iphone not allowing edit - Apple Community and http://yoctoville.com/workarounds mentioned,


I tried these workarounds but they are not working. All other functions of app work properly. Rebooting phone did not fix.,


Is anyone facing the same issue or can suggest to resolve this.

I am also more than disappointed..

couldn’t find an other app, to trust my appointments with.

but since last week, i am using „Due- reminders..“ and its the first app that can successfully replace my beloved alarmed app.

i was not sure if I should try Due( as it cost 9€) but I must confess its the only app comparable to alarmed.


Only one thing is missing: i can’t set a Pre-Alarm.. but I can’t have everything. At least i m not forgetting any appointments anymore🥲


the time without alarmed was really tough 😫

I encountered this issue when I inherited my wife's old iPhone 11 Pro Max.


The Alarmed app would crash every time I tried to edit an alarm (either by tapping the alarm entry and tapping "Edit", or double-tapping the alarm entry) or when I tapped on the settings icon in the bottom toolbar of the Alarmed app.


One of the posts in this thread led me to a solution that worked for me.


I had to turn off "Larger Accessibility Sizes" (go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text).


This prevented the crashing problem.


Of course, now I can't use the larger text sizes, so I struggle to read the text on the screen, so not an ideal solution, but at least I can use the Alarmed app again!

I'm having the same issue after updating my iOS to 17.1.1. The suggested solution does not apply to me because there's no Alarmed in Control Center where we can change the font size (there's a handful of other apps in Control Center, but Alarmed is not one of them and it's not possible to add an app to this list).


So now I am stuck because I cannot edit any of my reminders in Alarmed, this is most likely a code compatibility issue with iOS 17.1.1. Please as the developer(s) to test it again in iOS 17.1.1, they will see the same issues we're having.
