Version: Kirby Alarm Pro 4.45
Pros: I have used Kirby Alarm for several years and recently installed the latest version 4.45. The reminder/alarm process is extremely easy to use and reliable, customer service is excellent. Highly recommend this if you need an alarm/reminder service that doesn't rely on the Internet or huge program (e.g. Outlook) to work. Many more features are available in the newest version that take this program to new heights of functionality.

"EVERYTHING Ian writes in the publisher description is TRUE"
Pros: and a lot more. I've used Kirby Alarm Pro for over three years and have never encountered a bug. Features I use *dozens* of times a day are emails to be sent at future dates (repeating too: remind yourself or one or more people), launching EXE's for anything, restarting the computer. snoozing alarms on tasks you REALLY don't want to do now (you can snooze them for weeks and weeks, too), repeating events like MWF or MWTh courses in college or 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month of third Saturday of every month etc, or a huge range of recurrences, reminders with sound and bring your own sounds (volume, too) if you are away from your desk), COPYing alarms for easy reproduction or slight alteration, a valuable log if an event gets by you so you can reschedule it and just buy it.
For such an intricate product and large customer base, Ian is astonishingly responsive to suggestions for enhancements. He's back to you as his contact page says: usually within 24 hours.
No, I do not work for him. With all the hype and money billion-dollar companies get for software that doesn't work so we have to upgrade it, Ian's Kirby Alarm Pro and his other products are a hackneyed but true oasis in a desert.
Try it, you can't lose.
Cons: For no apparent reason, some sub-screens like the one to fill in a snooze time appear on far upper ends of the screen. Much easier is if it's near the bottom for less mouse movement for us lazy Americans.

Version: Kirby Alarm Pro 4.45
Pros: The variety of action that can be taken.
Cons: lacks variable user response to an alarm: display several buttons to perform different actions. It would also be nice to have an action delay, i.e., if the user doesn't respond in x minutes, an action is taken.
Summary: Overall, an excellent product with lots of flexibility.
