Like many other people before me have expressed, this app used to have every feature I could have wanted from an alarm app. It would go off in the morning when I wanted it to and I’d get to wake up to some of my favorite songs. Now, with this focus shift, the very core features that made this app more desirable as an alarm than many of its competitors have been squandered. What was once the perfect simple alarm app has now been defiled and downgraded into a mediocre sleep improvement app that can’t even play my music anymore.

Hey Plazmasoldier, we’re sorry you’re unhappy with the changes. We’re committed to improving the app with every update to enhance the user experience. If you have any questions or need help, our in-app support is here for you. Have a nice day :)I’ve been a user since early 2020 and I loved this app, but the recent update made it unusable for me. It used to have a simple interface where you would chose a song and then it would set the alarm and show a screen with the time left until you had to wake up. It was simple and perfect. I’m not sure if the app changed ownership or something, but the complete new design of the app was all negative for me. Having to play music continuously all night was the biggest downgrade, and the reason I no longer use this app. If they ever revert back to the setup of Morning, their old set up, I will be back. But for now, super disappointing - I've resorted back to the default Apple ringtone in the morning
This would be a FIVE star review if it weren’t for the crazy new update it had. I’ve used this as my alarm for months before it had a recent update. It was wonderful before and I loved it! I was able to pick any song to wake up to without download. The problem now is it makes you play throughout the entire night either music, background noise, or “silent” music, which is quite literally silence. I’m not sure why they would pass an update like this. Once I noticed this and it wasn’t returning to its previous ways, I deleted the app. Please bring back the old app!!

Hey SarahBuhBeara, we’re sorry to hear the update has caused issues for you. Our goal is to enhance the app with each update. The continuous play feature is required due to technical reasons. Please contact our in-app support for assistance. Have a nice day :)I used to love this app— it allowed me to shuffle through my own playlist as an alarm so that I didn’t get used to one specific sound. Now the update has completely changed the way the app works. I don’t want to listen to sleep sounds at night, I just want my playlist as my morning alarm. It also states that I have a lifetime membership and I don’t know if I’m paying for that or not, I can’t check to see if I am. I used to think this app was great but I’m deleting it.

Hey TS-89, we're really sorry the update has affected your experience. We work hard every day to improve the app and every update aims for a better user experience. The changes were necessary due to technical requirements, and we’re constantly striving to enhance functionality. Please reach out to our in-app support for assistance regarding your membership and any other questions. Have a nice day :)The alarm system that I have been using for some time offers a variety of brown noise nature sounds and a wind-down process that helps me to fall asleep while listening to these sounds. Moreover, I find it helpful that the system displays the amount of sleep time I will get between the time of the background sounds and my wake-up time, which is an essential feature.

It helps me get up in the mornings when I’m have a ruff time!
I love having the boost of motivation in the morning
I really enjoyed it before. Waking up to my own music is very nice. They made it very easy to set up. However, the newest update makes it so you must listen to sounds the entire night in order for the alarm to work. If I had wanted that, I would have used a different app. In fact, I listen to audiobooks to fall asleep and this app won’t allow me to do that if I want the alarm to sound.
The fact that you can put a playlist as an alarm sound is a game changer. Now I wake up excited because it’s always a mystery song that’ll wake me up!
One suggestion, give us the option to disable the volume button when the alarm goes off. The other day I slept through the alarm because I lowered the volume and it never went back up.

Why must something haft to play all night even if it’s “Pure silence” it’s so unnecessary also bad for your battery.
Fade in volume used to have many more options. And many more differences overall it was so much better before the update. Currently looking for another app that was like morning since the developers have completely lost it with this one.

Hey @LEEya!, we’re sorry the update has negatively impacted your experience. The need for continuous play is due to iOS requirements, but we understand your concerns. Please contact our in-app support for assistance and feedback. We appreciate your input and hope to improve your experience. Have a nice day :)I’ve had this app for a few months, and it’s extremely unreliable. I leave my phone unlocked and connected to power every night as instructed. Sometimes it works, sometimes it wakes me up with some random sound that I didn’t choose, and sometimes it does not work at all. Today it failed again.
