You know what’s even more annoying? You can set a notification or email reminder to go off prior to a calendar appointment, but can’t set an alarm to go off prior to one. I need my phone to make noise when it’s time for me to get ready, not just show a notification!

Isn’t it possible to change the notification sound by selecting an alarm sound , just for calendar notifications?

This should give you what you need

The only caveat i can think of now, is that notifications don’t loop the sound… So pretty much useless, unless you just need one loud reminder

Notifications have a lower level of priority than an alarm. Notification volume is set differently than alarm volume. Alarms take over the screen whereas notifications just give you a prompt at the top. As a person with ADD, it’s a huge inconvenience and I need to use workarounds that are unreliable. I just want a ducking alarm when I need it without getting some stupid artificial limitation on why I can’t do it.

I had the same issue and went for the app AMDroid. Worked really well

Big fan of AMDroid, I used to set 10 alarms every morning because I turn them off while still too far asleep, with AMDroid I only need to set 1!
