Smart Alarm Clock for Watch

So happy I found a smart alarm for my watch, I have searched a long time ever since I got my Apple Watch, this seems to be the only one that works. I do not understand why Apple does not have this built in, the watch is on your wrist, so it is perfectly suited to track your sleep stages, and wake you up when it needs to. Other wearable devices seem all have this capability, but not Apple Watch. Enough complaints about Apple Watch, let me tell you about this app. It has a super simple design: it only does two thing, bedtime alert and natural sleep cycle alarm. I like the bedtime alert, it keeps you in a regular schedule, but there is nothing earth shattering about it, except it makes it really easy to set up the alarm. If you answer the bedtime alert from watch, you can one tap set the alarm. Regarding the alarm, you specify a 30 minutes window, and the watch picks a good time to wake up when you are sort of awake. This works great, I especially like the gentle vibration instead of a loud sound, it makes waking up so much more pleasant. It seems the phone has to be nearby for this to work, so that is a caveat, but other than that, no complaints from me. Glad I got the app.

I wanted this to work so bad. It sounded perfect. I don’t need fancy sleep analysis, just a smart alarm that uses data from my watch on movements and heart rate to wake me in the best sleep stage. Sadly just does not work. The app on the watch allows one to set a time, but the button says “wait” and nothing happens when you tap the button. Setting a time there and hoping for the best does result in a haptic alarm in the morning but not in the as advertised up to 30 mins before the set time. Seemed to occur at random times often long before the set time. No data showed on the data screen in the app on the phone in spite of me allowing it full access to everything. No way to trouble shoot. No way to see or set the alarm on the phone. Sent an email to developers and no response. So I have deleted the app. How do I get my $3 back for this failure? Sigh. I hope they improve this app and make it actually work because it seems to be the only one that claimed to do what I want. Wish it did.

I’ve used this app for the last two days. I will NOT be using it a third day. It’s supposed to wake you in your lightest sleep cycle. Both days it has woken me in the middle of a dream (the hardest time to wake). I had no idea it was going to talk when I set and turned off the alarm, disturbing others around me. This morning I was awoken not by the alarm, but by someone telling me to answer my phone. The alarm went off on my phone, even thought it was less than three feet from my watch. Once I turned it off, my watch started going off every five minutes continuing to disturb a dream, causing the app that tracks my sleep to say I was awake when I was actually asleep. I’m not sure what this app is supposed to do, but it’s not doing it for me. It’s not silent. It doesn’t wake me in the lightest sleep, but the deepest. There is no reason for me to keep using this app. The last two days have been the worst mornings I’ve had since I was an over trained teenager. I’m done. I’m just sorry I spent money on this madness. There are so many other places that money could have gone where it actually would have been useful.

I finally got an iWatch and was looking forward to having a haptic alarm on my wrist to wake me up, without waking my wife up as an audible alarm always does. I’ve followed all the instructions in detail and never once have I been awakened by this app. Maybe there is some troubleshooting to be done with the developer, but the only means of contacting is via a log that originates from the iWatch, and is said to reside on the iPhone, where it can then be emailed. When I hard press the iWatch to generate the log, nothing happens on either my iWatch or iPhone. So I am complaining here in hopes that there is a solution. The only thing I have considered is that instead of a repeated haptic vibration, the app produces only one single pulse within the half hour alarm window. I can’t imagine waking up from one single iWatch pulse. Wouldn’t it make sense for it to vibrate until the wearer truly woke up, as indicated from the wearer getting out of bed and moving around, which the iWatch is clearly capable of detecting?

This app used to wake me up before the WatchOS 5. Now that I’ve upgraded the software, I set the alarm before I sleep and the very next day, it doesn’t give me a haptic anymore, so it doesn’t wake me up, plus the back-up alarm on the iPhone isn’t working either and it is very frustrating. I check the settings and it says sensors are successful. It’s been 3 months since the last update of this application, which is very outdated. If you want to use this app as your main alarm and keep it reliable, I suggest you don’t update your software, because the more you update, the fact that it’s not going to work it’s charm anymore. Or just use the built-in IOS alarm, which is much more optimized and reliable. Make your smart move by not purchasing these smart alarms as they tend to be unreliable.
