How to make the alarm persistent
until acknowledged [iOS]

Many users report that they would like to have a notification sound for as long as the notification is active, just like the notifications the user receives from the application designed by Apple.

For sure, third-party developers would also like notifications from their apps to have the same capability. However, third-party apps can't do that because of current iOS limitations.

The MultiTimer app has a feature that makes notifications more intrusive, allowing the user to notice a completed timer in time. This feature is called 'Repeat'.

To set up the feature, you need to:

1. 1. Go into the timer settings using one of the ways:

a) Long press on the timer and then press 'Edit' in the pop-up contextual menu.

b) Long press on the timer until its settings open. It works when the pop-up contextual menu is disabled in app Settings > Optional settings.

2. Then, tap the 'Alarm' item and go to the timer's notification style settings page.

3. Click 'ALERT' and then tap 'Repeat'.

4. The 'Repeat' page has several options that set the number of notifications which will be played after the timer ends within the next 5 minutes. The Repeat function is set to 'None' by default.

When the user has made a selection, a checkmark indicates it.

The 'Continuous' option sets the notifications to repeat continuously for 5 minutes.

Important notices:

• The notification/alert repeat setting can be found in the timer settings, on the 'ALERT' page. Timer settings and app Settings are not the same thing, app Settings are in the side navigation menu.

• The 'Snooze' function is also available in the app. It is activated by a long press on notifications - notification function buttons. The delayed notification time is 9 minutes and cannot be changed.
