Tashanna let me know about ZenMinder (featured on Rimarkable) which is yet another multiple alarm app for BlackBerry. In OS 4.6+ you can add multiple alarms for free in the calendar application but apps like these make it simpler. There is already BBSmart Alarms Pro ($4.99) and TinyAlarm ($5.99) which do more or less the same thing but now there is also ZenMinder.
ZenMinder is on sale now for $4.99 until Sep 30 after which it jumps up to $8.99. I don’t know why they think their app should command a premium but for now it is priced in line with the competition. I am curious how many people are using a 3rd party app for multiple reminders… If so what app are you using? Do you have OS 4.6+?
From the description:
ZenMinder is a simple and elegant reminder and alarm application for BlackBerry smartphones that will remind you of the most important tasks and events in your daily life.
Some situations where ZenMinder is used and helpful:

I use a multiple alarm app because there are some things I need to be reminded of that need immediate attention. I need something that will keep bugging me until I respnd. The calendar app is too easy to ignore.

I have used MyAlarm and it’s great for something that’s free. The only problem with it is that it does not auto start when the OS boots. The recently released and free “startmeup” app fixes this. If this solution was available a year ago I wouldn’t have bothered buying bbsmart alarm. As it was, I think I got bbsmart pretty cheap during some promotion… but free is always better if it gets the job done
