Amazing app. The only thing it doesn't let you do that I can find cumbersome is you can't easily just an alarm for the next day. You can't say skip this next alarm tomorrow or push that alarm back 30 minutes, in advance. You have to just switch the alarm off the night before and back on, which gives me the chance to forget and screw up if I turn off the alarm for a one day holiday or other weird exception.
Love this alarm clock app! 100% success rate in getting me out of bed so far (better than anything else I've tried up to this point). I do wish there was some more variety in the tasks, though. It does get a bit boring repeating the same things every morning (and I do have it set up for a random variety of 5 different tasks every morning, but it gets repetitive fast). This alarm app works great, but consider adding even more tasks types (and providing more variety within the current task types).
I'm a fan of the app itself, the alarm functions and customizability are unrivaled. It works better for me than the "smart" alarms that try to wake you up during a lighter sleep phase. My only gripe and reason for docking a star is the paid version does not migrate alarms and settings from the free version. I had to reconfigure everything again after paying to remove ads.
The alarm randomly experiences an error and doesn't go off until I manually open the app. This persists even after a factory data reset. I've used this app for 6 year and never had a problem until recently, and now I've missed my classes 3 times and have to get out all my old alarm clocks again because I can no longer trust the app to do its job.
The best app I've ever found for multiple alarms & can use my own mp3 sounds. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a reliable alarm app & can use your own stuff with it. Never have used the problem solving bit, nothing too complex before coffee. I guess you can make it as simple or complex as you like , either way it's a really cool app.
I really liked the free version, so I paid to support the author... worth it. There's a variety of puzzles available, and the order to complete them is customizable (mine's set to random). Tasks include math, memory, matching, typing and more, all with different levels of difficulty to choose from (except 1 where the phone needs to be shaken). The volume/ brightness can be set to increase over time. I can also have another app start when finished.
Use it every day to avoid missing class and exams. I cant wake up like a normal person but this forces me to. Big fan of the barcode scanner which makes you get out of bed and scan a barcode on an item in your house. Only time it doesnt go off is when my phone decides to restart itself, which is obviously not the publishers fault. Highly recommend.
App used to be great, but recently had started to be unpredictable with whether it will actually sound at the time you have set it. Frequently the alarm doesn't go off at all and when you open the app it just tells you that it will sound in less that a minute, however this could be hours after you set it and it still never goes off. This has made me late on multiple occasions. I cannot trust this app and would not recommend anyone use it.
I used to love this app. I also used to need it because of my depression. Luckily I don't need it anymore because waking up has gotten much easier, but I would've uninstalled it regardless because it doesn't work anymore. The alarms go off at random times or don't go off at all. It's just not reliable. I have a silent alarm for my birth control which has for some reason gone off which sound in the middle of meetings. Plus now it asks for so many permissions it never needed before.
Relied on this to wake me up, for the most part it did. However, every so often the alarm wouldn't go off. It also sometimes locked my phone up, the puzzle wouldn't show up, or the alarm tone would change itself. As much as I love this app, with something as important as waking up on time, I need something that works 100% of the time.
I've been using it for years. It's my favorite alarm clock app. The optional puzzles come in handy. although some is a struggle to perform for those of us with poor eyesight waking up one rarely wear glases. so I wish there was a way to adjust size up for tthe puzzles. Like a bigger font size for the repeat text task.
With puzzles and other challenges required to shut off the sound, this is truly the alarm clock I have been looking for my whole life. The Awake Test is inspired. Who among us has not shut off our alarm, and gone right back to sleep? It's not the prettiest looking app on my phone, but it may be the most important, as it always gets me up in time for work.
I have used the premium version of this app for years without any problems, but today it did not wake me up for work and I was more than an hour late. When trying to open the app, it simply keeps saying it has stopped working. I don't know if this is due to a recent update, and I don't have any malice against the developers for this, but I simply can't trust an alarm clock app that fails even once. From now on I will stick to the Android clock along with a physical backup alarm.
Knocks the rest into a cocked hat! Overrides phone sleep settings on Oreo perfectly. Über-flexible, so bit of a learning curve. I have dormant "templates" (lying at 23:59h) to copy settings to new alarms - way faster. Sorts by time of day only, incl. inactive alarms. Timer function useless, but the alarm is SO solid, worth the Premium. Ads a major nuisance! - !! WARNING !! Last functional version 3.5.4. - then it played up, hence 4*. Sideload from trusted source, disable updates in Google Play!
Most robust and feature rich alarm app out there. This app really helps me to get up on time and stay up. You get so many different sounds (you can even import your own) that you can wake up to, multiple snooze options, various different tasks to do to help you wake up, vacation breaks, and even an awake test after you're "awake" to help prevent the likelihood that you might drift back off to sleep! Simply the best alarm app out there for those that have trouble waking up!
I got this app when I was working the overnight shift, and it worked 100% of the time. I recommend spending some time looking through the alarm settings, because the amount of customization available really allows you to tailor every aspect of the alarm to your preferences.
Very effective, could just have a little more of an intuitive flow with settings, new alarm setup, etc. That's the only thing holding back a 5 star from me, otherwise fantastic app. I've used this for quite a while (maybe 2+ years) and its fantastic.
Warning: Does not work with Android 10! After the upgrade last night, alarm did not go off this morning. Upon opening the app, was greeted with an in-app notification: "I am sorry to inform this app version doesn't work properly and alarms won't start in it on Android 10 (Android Q) you are using. App was made years ago with now outdated technology and it can't be modified to use approaches required by changes made in Android 10."
I was one of the users that used to just uninstall the app and go back to sleep 🤣. Thanks for adding the feature that stops you from doing that!!! Now I can say this app works, though I suggest also turning on a light or two while doing the puzzles. The light helps if you have a very hard time waking up!
experiencing the same problem seen on some of the reviews here where the alarm says it will go off in one minute, before and infinitely after it was supposed to go off. I too have used this app for many years, such a shame it has become unreliable. please fix this!
Omg it's so amazing! I ran a test, and the math part is actually somewhat challenging the barcode task gets you up and moving, and it fights you if you try to turn the volume down! Like it actually does volume slider battle with you! This alarm app is great!!!
The only thing that has ever kept me off the snooze button! Trust me that if you NEED to wake up, this one will do it. I've used it for years. My favorite is the bar code... I tape a bar code inside my walk-in closet and by the time I see straight enough to scan it, I'm up. You can't beat this app.
Best yet! I am notorious for sleeping through alarms or turning them off in my sleep. This solved that! With the different tasks you can assign in order to snooze or turn off the alarm, it has totally saved me! Definitely worth the money!
For me it's perfect, however I suffer from both insomnia and narcolepsy ( diurinal) so with those two warring within my body trust me when it finally crashes it crashes as if in a state of comatose. This app makes sure that when I say hey I need to be awake, it gets me up and and allows me to set up as many fail safes as I need to make sure I'm up for real including making me get up and go into other rooms. Pro version to support the developer only made rational sense after usage proved 100%
The app no longer works after my phone's OS updated. The alarm will say "will ring in 1 min" and stays like that infinitely. I've been using this app for years but now it's not working. I hope it gets fixed.
This is an excellent alarm app. It allows you to set multiple alarms that won't turn off or snooze until you solve math problems, puzzles, etc. It's the most reliable method I've found for waking myself up in the morning.
This app saved my life (figuratively). I went from waking up at non regular time between 10am and 1pm. Now I constantly wake up at 6am or 8am on the weekend. Never been happier to make an effort. My tips is: make one alarm with various test so that it keep you up. Then put another alarm 20 min later that need you to go scan a barcode in the toilet. You will be right beside your shower at this point. Also, I found myself enjoying spending that 20 min between alarms doing dailies in mobile game I enjoy. That way I am looking forward to waking up. Big thank you to the devlopper(s) !!!
Incredibly useful. Does what it says on the tin. The tasks are manageable but wake me up better than normal alarms I don't know why the new version was rebuilt from the ground up in a way that is more broken and has less of the essential features and customization options from this version. (For example, no ability to modify "wake up smoothing"'s variables). If an android update breaks this, I will either make my own or modify this one, because the new one is still worse than this after 2 years
