No alarm I have used the app for some time and really like how it works. Though recently it does not sound an alarm on my Samsung note 9 until i bring it to foreground. I disabled battery optimization for this app but this did not help. Unfortunately this renders the app useless

Better than most but that's a very, very low bar. The alarm doesn't go off if the app isn't on screen when I close the phone. Lots of settings that don't make any sense.

Great app. Saves power as I use this instead of my chartplotter when it's blowing.
