How do I turn notifications on?

1. Install and open the Medication Timer app on iOS or Android.
2. When the system asks, allow notifications.
3. If you declined earlier, open the phone’s Settings → Notifications → Medication Timer (name may vary slightly) and enable alerts, banners, and sounds as you prefer.

Also check Focus modes, Do Not Disturb, and per-app notification styles if alerts seem silent.

On iOS, the first dose reminder at the scheduled time respects the Ring/Silent switch. The optional 30-minute follow-up can use Critical Alerts so it may sound when the phone is on silent—enable Critical Alerts for Medication Timer under Settings → Notifications → Medication Timer if you want that behavior. You can disable urgent follow-ups in the app under Settings → Notifications.
