1. Overview
1. Overview
NotifyAgain (hereinafter referred to as this app) is an app that notifies you at regular intervals when a notification is posted from a specified app.
Since many recent devices do not have a notification LED, this app was developed to help you avoid missing important notifications.
For example, say you specify the email app as a monitored app.
If a notification is issued from the email app and you leave it as is, this app will detect it and sound an alarm at regular intervals.
If you delete the notification from the email app, the alarm will no longer sound.
The alarm will also stop after it has sounded a set number of times.
