Your computer will tell you the time, no problem. However, there are few things as boring and basic as the standard clock. AIV Reminder offers users a chance to spice up their clock situation and keep on top of important appointments.

This free program presents itself as a simple analog clock. In addition, a small, blue genie gives you advice on how to make configurations. If you're not fond of genies, there are three other characters to choose from. Double-clicking the clock face takes you to a menu screen where the ins and outs of the program are laid out. Here, users can select between analog, digital, and even a clock face with birds. The program also offers a stopwatch, and a calendar; however, it's simply a calendar and not an organizational tool. The alarm feature offers a tedious menu where the month, date, hour, and minute must be scrolled through to set. Reminder messages can be manually written, and users can choose an MP3, WAV file, or even their own voice as an alert sound. A maximum of eight alarms can be set at once, which may not be enough for those with busy schedules.

The genie and other characters will keep you covered should you need help. Overall, AIV Reminder is a reliable clock that will keep you on time. Users could do much worse than this timepiece.

All it did was add a bunch of spyware to my PC

Pros
There was none!
Cons
I downloaded it and when I tried to open it a error message popped up telling me I had to Debug or close. The program wouldn't work from the start so I tried to uninstall it and it wouldn't let me. Now I have spyware & adware errors popping up from my anti-virus program.
Summary
It was crap, wouldn't work and just cause me a huge hassle for wasting my time to install it because now I have to remove the spyware/adware that came with it. Would not recommend to anyone!
Lots of potential, but needs some improvement.

Pros
Can do eight alarms for specific dates and times. Allows playing of mp3, wav, your own voice, or can read your text. Using MS Agent characters is kinda neat.
Cons
(in order of importance for me) 1) Only one daily alarm (daily alarms are the reason I wanted something like this). 2) Only 4 characters. There are dozens, at least, of MS Agent characters available. 3) Only does eight date/time alarms, and the alarms are not integrated with the actual calendar. The calendar is just a calendar. It tells you what day it is. 4) Interface is a bit sloppy.
Summary
I don't like to criticize a freeware program too much. I know the work it takes to write software, and I appreciate programmers who are willing to put their work out there for free. This particular application has some great potential. However, I absolutely _need_ at least ten daily alarms. One is not useful at all to me. I would also like many more characters. In fact, I would like the ability to use any Agent character (which would give us the option of making our own characters, for those able to do it). I'd like more than eight date/time alarms, and to have them actually integrated with the calendar. I'd like to be able to bring up the calendar, click on a day, and bring up a screen to set one or more alarm/reminders for that day, or to see the information if an alarm is already set that day. Finally, I would like a somewhat simpler and smoother interface. With these improvements, I think this app would get five stars from nearly everyone, except perhaps from those who can't figure out how to move the clock (for those who want to know, you just click near the edge of the clock and drag).
MP3 and Wave to wake you up

Pros
You can use your favorite mp3 and wave file as reminder alarm
Cons
User interface is a little difficult to operate
Summary
This free application needs time to get used to. If the user interface can be simplified, it could be better.
it sucks to be this bad

Pros
I forgot what was it
Cons
needs more fine tuning
Summary
there is no option to turn off the sound (if you only want to see the chosen character) there is no way that you can move the clock in any part of the screen and you stuck with it right in the middle of the screen. arghh
Easy to use, pretty!

Pros
The genie talks to you... verbally. You can hear the alerts going off from across the house to remind you of things. Takes the appearance of an analog clock, gorgeously. Classy graphics and simple interface. Really appreciate this program.
Cons
Nada. This is a neat prog.
Summary
Very straight forward interface and very easy to use.

Pros
Very easy to use and it has very cool notifiers.
Cons
Summary
i love it and easy to use especially if you have a forget full head
caren77November 29, 2007
Pros
easy to install and easy to use. the best bit is you can choose 1 in 4 characters and they tell you what the reminder is for you. you can even change it to music instead or even use your own voice.
Cons
