We are on vacation and needed something to stand in for my kid’s okay-to-wake clock at home, so I got this and am kind of disappointed considering it has many five-star reviews. The sloth is cute, but there’s no way to control anything once you’re in the app or demo what the wake-up experience will be for your kid. For instance, we do not need the yellow, pre-wake stage, but there’s no way to turn it off without also turning off the green wake-up stage, as far as I could tell. And if you do want the yellow stage, you can’t adjust how long it will be. It stays on for 30 minutes. I set the wake up for 7:15, not knowing I was getting a 30-minute “pre-wake up,” so of course my kid gets up at 6:45 as soon as the sloth changes, which defeated the whole purpose. It’s a free app, so you get what you pay for I guess, but I would have like SOME adjustability, considering this is aimed at kids, who will all have different needs.

Response from developer
Update: we are pleased to inform you that we added the feature (customizable pre-wakeup) you said was missing.
Old response: You are right in assuming that there is no way to turn off the yellow pre-wakeup stage without turning off the green wake-up stage. We really appreciate your feedback and will be implementing finer controls to handle the different stages. A new release will be coming out soon that will give finer control to solve the stated problem.
