Manually?
Open the settings of your app and check "Allow notifications"

@sol_roll

dayOfWeek is not case sensitive.

instead of a text like sunday, monday etc you might want to offer a helper block...

How to do this see Adding Helper Blocks to a Component and How to add a Dropdown Block to a Component.

See also an example here Need help to adding helper or drop down blocks in extension - #5 by Taifun

Use time picker component

or read this guide to add using number block

The Rule: 24-Hour Format (Military Time)

• Hour (hour): A number from 0 to 23 .

• Minute (minute): A number from 0 to 59 .

Hour Conversion Chart

Standard Time	24-Hour Format (hour input)
12:00 AM (Midnight)	0
1:00 AM	1
...	...
10:00 AM	10
11:00 AM	11
12:00 PM (Noon)	12
1:00 PM	13
2:00 PM	14
...	...
9:00 PM	21
10:00 PM	22
11:00 PM	23

Minute Conversion

The minute is always the same. If you want the alarm at xx:30 , the minute input is 30 . If you want it at xx:05 , the minute input is 5 .

Examples in App Inventor Blocks

Here are clear examples of how to set an alarm for specific times using the ScheduleOnceAt block.

Example 1: Schedule an alarm for 7:30 AM

• hour = 7

• minute = 30

Example 2: Schedule an alarm for 4:45 PM

• hour = 16 (since 4 PM is 12 + 4)

• minute = 45

Example 3: Schedule an alarm for 12:05 AM (just after midnight)

• hour = 0

• minute = 5

[sol_roll]
