when will reminders app allow use of ringtones for "reminder" alert?
When I set reminders - just ordinary date/time ones, not location based - they always have a piddly/tiny "dingaling" alert noise. and that's it! just one noise!
When my phone is in my pocked and I'm outdoors, then there's no way I can hear this; or if I'm in another room to my phone, again, I miss the reminder.
The "alert" is woefully short and low volumed.
Can't Apple add the ability to pick an alarm-tone or ringtone as one of the parameters of setting up an alarm.
This will make sure the "alert" is noticed at the right time.
Also, have it replay the ringtone/alarm (or vibrate the phone if on silent) until the "alert" notice is removed by the user interacting with the phone.
Please please please put this feature in the next update of iOS5.
It will make the reminders app/feature much more useable.
I can't use it at the moment as I can't rely on hearing/noticing the "reminder alert" at the moment due to the piddly little noise that only occurs once.
