Alarm Clock

Haven’t used yet but it looks promising! I’ve tried many things but I keep hitting the snooze. I have one alarm in my room, the iPhone alarm, then I had another app “sleep cycle” that woke me up feeling refreshed not groggy but I still went back to bed, and I have another alarm In the kitchen right next to my coffee so I have to actually get up turn off two alarms then walk into the kitchen turn off that alarm look at my coffee, smell it, then walk back to my room and fall asleep again and repeat and repeat and repeat I wish I wasn’t so skilled at falling asleep after being woken up time and time again!! I never purchased any apps so I love that this app is free and they give you espresso shots as reward points so you can get cool stuff and still be a cheapskate like I am!

Honestly giving five stars because they offered to take away the ads and give me all the upgrades without me having to pay for it, but even without the upgrades and with the ads the app was pretty and very functional. If you turn your phone sideways and put it on a stand it’s a veritable little digital clock. The ads are very small on the bottom of the screen and don’t detract from the overall design. There were lots of little Easter egg settings that gives you the ideal “clock experience”, lol.

Beautiful screens with much customization. However, going to the screen to set an alarm is unusual (I like it but it was a little ambiguous when I first got to this screen due to minimal labels, buttons. However, once I messed with it, it made sense. The problem was there is no obvious way to save an alarm setting or even exit this screen. The only way I could get the alarm setting screen to close was to close the app - which caused it to lose the alarm I just set. No button to close or save or confirm. No “ok”. Nothing. Tried every possible swipe, drag, click, or swoosh type of gesture. Nothing obvious or in any way intuitive. I can only imagine this was working for people and an update caused something very basic to be missing or else hidden on my iPad Pro 12.9” screen. As a software developer myself I can say they put a lot of care into some of the aesthetics and design, but if users can’t actually set and save an alarm, it’s not usable as an alarm clock. End of story. Weird.

This seems like it could be a great alarm, with a few changes. First the app must stay open all night, which I understand is a requirement with alarm clock apps, but the screen stays lit while open, so is lighted all night long. I covered my phone with a pair of pants and it covered the light, but still, I think the waiting screen on the app should be black since it has to stay open overnight. Second, it’s very easy to turn the alarm off. All you do is lower your phone volume and it doesn’t go make a sound again, even with the next alarm. There should be a feature that overrides the external volume control until the wake up task is complete. It’s just as easy to ignore this alarm as my iPhone’s standard alarm.

Have been using for a couple month and initially liked it with a couple exceptions of me catching that it didn’t save my set times that I know I saved the alarm time. And my phone never got fully charged because I had to run the app all night for it to work. Then tonight my phone started making loud noises and then I heard music playing and a women talking about pornographic stuff. Like she was talking to someone else but had access to my phone. It immediately turned off when I closed the app and started again when I reopened it. So I quickly deleted and wrote this review. Don’t trust any app you have to leave running. Bet they can access anything I have saved to my phone including camera!
