I never rate anything. But as I was installing this on a new phone I realized I needed to. I've been using this app for about 6 years and it's changed me into someone who actually gets up. It's incredible, highly recommend the bar code task. Additionally has wonderfully thoughtful touches (like vacations so you don't have to remember the night before to turn your alarm back on), and most things you could think to customize you can. I would not buy a phone that did not work with this app.
This app has mostly been good, I just wanted something that's hard to accidentally turn off or with a snooze limit, though on my Samsung S9, it will silence itself during calls, which is good, but it doesn't actually turn itself back on after the calls, so if I happen to get a call when I'm trying to wake up, my alarm will continue to play, silently letting me sleep forever, even after the call has long ended. A check to see if the call has ended would be really nice.
Life changer! I mean it! I have struggled my entire life with getting up and staying out of bed. This app has changed everything for me. Scanning barcodes around my house and shaking my phone as hard as I can for 40 seconds really do the trick. And you can't turn off the alarm till all the tasks you selected for your alarm are done. I love this app so much I bought the full version as a thank you to the developers. PLEASE never let this app die.
I have been using this app for more than 6 months now. This app is an absolute delight and never fails to do what it's supposed to do! But I have a feature request. I set up multiple alarms so that if I turn off one and sleep back, another one rings. What I want is a feature so that I can turn off the upcoming hour of alarms without turning of the repeating alarm. Because, as of now, if I turn off alarms in the app, every night I need to remember to turn that back on.
This app used to be the best app to wake me up. Now it just gets on my nerves so bad I had to delete it. The alarm will start binging and not show up on my phone screen for almost 2 minutes to be swiped away. Once the alarm shows up sometimes I can not swipe it away. The app just won't let me. Also, the alarm froze my phone while it was going off and I had to restart the entire app before I could even turn the alarm off. VERY STRESSFUL!!
I have a few disorders that prevent me from memorizing states and what cities are in it. When I turned on match, I was not aware I would be doing this. A description would help and maybe not an 'awake test' if you fail. I had just gotten the app and didn't know it would beep loud, and I got a noise complaint from my neighbors because of it. Please add more descriptions so this doesn't happen again.
I don't normally rate apps but this app is literally "why I get up in the morning" so I guess it's important lol 10/10, and thank you, genuinely. Edit: just wanted to say that most of the low rated reviews I'm seeing seem to be user error. The app gives you full control over basically every aspect of how you wake up. Anyone who has the issue of turning it off half asleep, check out the "alarm quitting prevention" settings. Honestly, idk why you wouldn't play with the settings before complaining.
It was super great at first, love the different features like unable to force stop the alarm, a certain number of snoozes allowed, etc. But now it's glitching all the time. Whenever I turn off my phone and then turn it back on again, the alarm goes off at high volume and won't stop until I do about 4 different tasks. This happens EVERY TIME I power on my phone, no matter the time of day or whether I've set any alarms. I might try to find a different alarm app instead...
it's pretty good! the barcode task is the most effective for me. there are occasionally glitches that prevent me from completing the task, but it's nothing too bad. i think, if possible, it would be cool to have an option to lock the screen while doing the tasks (to prevent going to thr home screen) because unfortunately, ive taken to just uninstalling and reinstalling the app whenever i don't feel like doing the tasks 😭 but besides that. good app!
Uninstalling after 5 years. The app has got progressively worse with every single useless update. They just kept needlessly rearranging the UI every time and the functionality has been the same, which would have been kind of fine until some genius forgot that the "I can't find this item" button is pretty important to the barcode scanner. The alarm can now go on literally forever. I'm lost at words.
I've been having sleep inertia problems since almost a decade ago and this alarm has been able to wake me up consistently over the week, I look forward to what will happen in a month. 3 Star drop, I found a way to cheat the alarm and now I can't wake up to it... just restarting my phone... This needs a fix, I'm depending on this marvelous software now... Back to 5 stars! App better than ever! Can't skip!
My main reason for loving this app after many years isn't the tasks. Tasks (and even the old school method of keeping my alarm across the room) just teach my brain to ignore the sound "for just a minute" which then leads to sleeping through it altogether. I love this app because you can turn off the "gentle" wake up used by nearly every other alarm app. I can adjust the alarm sound, volume, and starting intensity so it hits me like a sledgehammer! You can truly customize your alarms!
When I set a custom txt file for the typing wake up task and test it, everything works fine. However, when I exit the app, the file cannot be loaded and an error message is shown: "couldn't load custom file - using default settings instead". If I set the file again, it works until I exit the app again. Please fix this as this functionality is the primary reason I'm using the app.
For the most part it's a great app, have used it for years with no issue. Recently the app has been freezing itself and makes it nearly impossible to shut off. You can hear the ringing but there's no way to turn it off unless you manually go into the app and sometimes even that doesn't work. It hasn't been updated since October!
Would be great! ...If it actually worked. In order to get the alarm to go off, the app must already be open. This makes it easy to circumvent any alarms (simply close the app). It also means alarms don't go off more than half the time. I can try to open the app before I go to bed, but if the app gets closed, I'll end up missing deadlines.
I've had this clock for years. It used to be great until all of a sudden it would no longer shut off the alarm. The only way to silence it is to restart my phone. I tried Uninstalling the app and redownloading it, but the glitch is still there. I'm deleting the app and finding something different.
I love the delightful BRUTALITY of this app ❤️ EXACTLY what I need! The high level of customization is so useful to set to my preferences. I only wish that the number order puzzle was of the slidy kind, and not tap-move. (And maybe even with a customizable image.) I know that would make it harder to solve but it's a fave game of mine. I hope you include it at some point 🙂
I'm a heavy sleeper and need an app I can rely on to be loud and obnoxious. This app used to be incredible. Now? It shows up in my notifications [I hate that] and doesn't go off anymore. It will say it's scheduled for the day, but nothing. Extremely disappointed I have to hunt for a new alarm that is equally as reliable and loud as this app used to be.
I like this app. It has a lot of nice features, and it gets me up. I also use it to remind me of when I need to leave for appointments or have tasks to accomplish. However, the screen is very dim when the alarm goes off. This is fine for a dark room when waking up, but it's very difficult to see the screen when outside or in a bright room (for appt reminders, waking from a nap, etc.) Perhaps the app can check the phone's brightness setting and adjust for that.
Alarms have adjustable volume, can stay on for 30 minutes before snoozing on me, and the tasks you can set have a range of rigor to them. Black theme helps keep you from going blind in the morning trying to turn it off. Ads are present, which could turn some people off, but by and large they take up thin borders largely out of sight and only take up the screen right after an alarm. The last scenario is in-your-face, but you can close the ad almost immediately with the top corner.
Really slick UI, but this version should be considered a beta while some of the necessary features of the previous one are being reintroduced. This will be a great app in a few months. My biggest complaints right now are: 1) not being able to set how many completed tasks are required to stop the alarm. I like the variety, but I don't have time to solve all 8 every morning. 2) There's (currently) no way to pause alarms for a few days and they instead have to be completely disabled.
When I am dog tired, I either sleep through alarms or sleep-turn-them-off and go back to sleep. I've missed exams and been late to work because of it, but this app changed that for good. I wake up and have to solve 6 equations, type a random string of characters and choose the capitals for different countries. The whole time my brain wants a way out, but there's no snooze, so it has to wake up fully to turn the alarm off. Basically, this alarm is amazing and it changed my life. Cheers!
I've used this app for years, but the new update is a big downgrade. First, the bright colors of the new aesthetic are disorienting to look at when half asleep, and highlight way too much information as once. The days of the week overpower the actual time. And the neon? Ow. Also, give back the clock at the top and the countdown to the next alarm! And the set as timer feature. I don't want to have to do math in order to take a 20 minute nap. I'm looking for a replacement.
Ok, so this app figuratively beats the s*** out of you, especially with the tasks and notifications, meaning that it gets the job done, only thing it lacks is to add a feature that this app can never be uninstalled, because that's the only weak point. Moreover most of its features are accessible for free and it does not have useless ads. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs to wake up for anything.
This is a great alarm for those who do not wake up easily. However, it keeps glitching and not working at all. When I finally get up and open the app to check it, it says the alarms cannot go off because either the date is wrong, battery saver mode is on, etc etc. I cannot rely on it when I need to wake up for morning meetings and the alarm never goes off.
I've been using it for a full month now, and I am yet to miss an alarm. I chose one of the complex configs because I'm really tough to wake up, but the barcode is really key if you do it well (only put barcodes that force you to actually stand up to be scanned, like on the other side of the room). Even on the nights when I have to sleep less than 3 hours, as it sometimes happen, I'm wrecked in the morning of course, but I'm up thanks to this app!
