Hi,

Why do you need an infinite loop that gives a white screen? You use the Screen1.Starts block 3 times. Try it 1 time, and code from other Screen1.Starts put in the functions that will be called from Screen1.Starts

You need to work with time, it is better to use Timer. First, we get the time using the WEB API and then turn on the timer.

An example of obtaining time you can see in this post.

> [@Time of the Day for closs platform app](http://community.thunkable.com/t/time-of-the-day-for-closs-platform-app/29332/3):

> Try using for example the service [https://timezonedb.com/](https://timezonedb.com/) to get the time. Basic example. First you need to register on the service and get a KEY. Then try using the browser to get the time you need (there are examples on the service). If this happens, use the block below to get the time in Thunkable X.

Can you tell me in detail how you want to make reminders? At present, working with a date and time using blocks is not an easy task. But it can try to simplify it somehow.
