  • Best alarm for anyone who wants a great morning

    The exact podcast I have been looking for all my life. Between the easy to use interface, integration with Apple podcasts, and some groovy sounds to choose from - this alarm has made waking up something I look forward to.
  • When it works, it’s pretty good

    Unfortunately it only works about 50% of the time. I have to set up multiple alarms invade this one doesn’t work. Not what I was hoping for. Please update!
  • Does not download new podcasts

    It does not work how I hoped. I just wanted to use it to wake up to npr's up first podcast but it does not download that mornings episode. Even when sub and set to auto download in the podcast app it does not work.
  • Love the idea but doesn’t work

    The layout is okay, not very use friendly but it’s manageable. I like the added feature of having a campfire sound etc. to fall asleep to.

    Now the bad part, setting a podcast is quite tricky since not all episodes sync so you can’t find the one you want most of the time. Also it doesn’t always work!!

    It’s supposed to be an ALARM CLOCK but what’s the use if it DOESN’T GO OFF half the time??

    And obviously it trains your battery but that may not be too bad since most people leave their phone plugged in overnight.

    Save your money people and wait until Apple releases that function for free in Apple podcasts.

  • Works! Needs tuning

    I’ve been desperate to find an app just like this and thankful this developer has done the job. However, it needs work.
    Some days it drains the battery.
    Podcasts will suddenly jump start then stop then start again. Sometimes notifications for all the days I’ve got allocated podcasts start popping up all at once.

    It works! But needs a fine tune!

  • Half-baked backend

    UI is pretty and the idea is so obvious that Apple should integrate it into their app, but it fails half the time for one reason or another.
    I only got two successful days out of my “5 free alarms,” and that’s after doing a bunch of extra downloads. It’s basically still in beta testing, and the publisher shouldn’t start charging until they’ve properly fixed the bugs or given users ample time to get used to the work-arounds. I can’t rely on an alarm that requires a rain dance and still only works half the time.

  • Wish it worked

    I could not get this to work so giving three stars. Besides the first morning when it started blaring the podcast, not a one podcast played after that.
  • Non consistent

    The alarms I have set keep saying download more material- so I go to my podcast library and download material and alarm is still not working.
  • Bugs

    I loved this app when I had the free trial and when I paid for it it stopped working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. And when I set the alarm to test if it works the alarm sounds very distorted. I would love for this app to work. And I’m willing to wait. I just hope it gets fixed soon :)
  • Peaceful way to wake up!

    I was looking for a more peaceful way to wake up in the morning rather than my phones alarm and this is perfect. I initially had some issues getting the alarm to work after updating my phone shortly after purchasing it. I emailed Landon and got a quick response detailing plans to fix it, and a week later it was better than before! Thanks for everything!
