Exceptional. I love that you can set any notification to be an alarm, it's so useful. Bonus points to the developer as they took the effort to reply to my email about a bug report and some feature requests. Talk about which, the ability to save vibration pattern presets would be lovely!

User Reviews
BuzzKill Notification Manager is praised for its powerful and customizable notification controls that help users reduce overload and tailor alerts effectively. Users appreciate the one-time purchase model and developer support. Common issues include occasional app freezes, problems with notification retention after restarts, limited location feature functionality, delayed audio alerts, and some inconsistencies in rule enforcement across devices. Overall, it significantly improves notification management and user experience despite minor bugs.
Pros
- Highly customizable notification management with the ability to create specific rules for apps, keywords, and contacts.
- Effective at reducing notification overload and helping users regain phone control.
- Allows customization of vibration patterns, sounds, and batching of notifications.
- No subscription, one-time purchase with lifetime access and no ads.
- Developer is responsive and actively updates the app based on user feedback.
Cons
- App occasionally freezes and requires force stop to recover.
- Some users experience loss of notifications after device restart, especially those marked 'not dismiss'.
- Location-based notification features rely only on Wi-Fi networks, limiting effectiveness.
