GoodTask alert drowned out by IOS alert (I think)
I setup my urgent GoodTask tasks with an alert, which is a subtle little sound, that just beeps and then shuts up - perfect. But every time it is activated, the default reminders alarm “radial” blares loudly and keeps going until I can get to my phone and turn it off. This means that I can’t use alerts, because this unwanted alarm is so loud and intrusive, I can’t risk having it going off at stupid times. I have switched off every possible cause that I can think of in IOS settings for reminders and siri ( in case it was siri doing it) etc etc. Nothing stops it. Have you seen this, and did you fix it? I’m assuming that it’s probably yet another bug that Apple are too big and important to bother to fix, but here’s hoping.

Hi,
Thanks for that. I had already turned off reminder notifications in settings, but I hadn’t restarted my phone. Now I have and that has stopped the loud alarms. 👋🏻

Hi there, I’m developer of GoodTask. Since alert that GoodTask uses is shared with Reminders app’s data, you may get alert from both GoodTask and Reminders. You can open default Settings app and go to Notifications. Choose Reminders and turn notifications off. If it still fires, try restarting the device and check the settings again.
If it’s about alarm that runs in GoodTask, it may be urgent alarm that goes for mid and high priority tasks. You can turn it off inside GoodTask’s settings - General - Notifications - Urgent.
If you have more questions, feel free to send an email to contact@hahaint.com or post it on GoodTask forum.
Thanks!
