When the timer goes off there is no way to stop the alarm.

Yeah, I know that this happens on some devices. This will be solved when implementing #84.

Dicio is a very promising alternative to Google assistant, but the inability to stop the timer without force stopping the app is no small matter, especially if it goes off while driving a vehicle and interrupts driving directions and/or phone conversations. Most users probably don't know anything about force stop and would resort to rebooting the phone.

Solved in d3a1c97ff2c1647063e868ee96d7674b81919137. Now the behavior is to always repeat the ringtone in a loop (also on phones where this did not happen automatically), but always stop after 30 seconds. The user can also say "cancel the timer" to stop the ringtone while it is playing. Thank you for the report and for the patience!
