love the noise to wake up to
Wish the light wasn’t so bright when the alarm is on in the background or that you can’t lock your phone but
Response from developer
Oh, there is an issue on iOS 16 that doesn't allow the screen to go completely black — thank you for pointing out. Will fix!
Can only see sleep and stop
Am unable to set wake up time
Better than paid apps
This is the best sunrise alarm app I have used. It is FREE and not a standalone alarm so of course there can be improvements, but I personally love its simplicity and the fact that IT JUST WORKS unlike some other apps.
I now have a sunrise alarm anywhere, even when traveling :)

Does nothing in iphone 12
No function
Almost there
Looks very elegant and works. You can fall asleep, e.g. listening to music or a podcast as long as this app is the last thing you leave open on your screen. The birdsong is lovely and the light is bright. Downsides: the alarm seems to be only as loud as the last volume setting on your phone, which, if you’ve used it to fall asleep, will be too quiet to wake you up. It doesn’t seem to noticeably increase in volume (I slept through it). Also, the light part uses a lot of power so only works well if you leave your phone charging overnight so that the alarm doesn’t drain your phone. It would be nice to have the option to select front OR back light only to not waste power.

Nearly there!
This is a great app, but as others have noted, a few settings would make this perfect. For example, being able to set the time before the wake up time that the light starts to gradually fade in. And, the ability to adjust the volume of the birds from 0 to the lodest setting. Or, being able to set what color the fade in light starts at (such as a reddish or orange) and what color it is when it is fully on (such as white or yellow). Also, the screen needs to turn off completely during “sleep” so it is not using the LCD at all—turning off completely will reduce energy use and increase life of LCD display and prevent the dim glow from keeping light sleepers from getting to sleep or staying asleep.
Good app tho. I would pay for the additional features.

Brilliant!
I love this app! So simple, just set the time you’d like to wake up and press sleep. The slow wake up light is lovely and I like the natural bird noises that join in at the end. If you don’t like the bird noises, you could just turn your volume down and set another alarm if you need the noise as well as light. First review I’ve ever written because the app has made my mornings easier, it deserves the attention and five stars!

Volume issues
When I set the alarm, I double check to be sure the volume is all the way up… somehow the alarm turns itself down to less than 30% and I can barely hear it. Please look into this glitch, thanks
Response from developer
Should be fixed in the latest update — volume will go up to 30% only if it was set to zero. Thank you for report.
Please make the bird sounds optional
Pretty much exactly what I wanted in a light alarm but the bird sounds stop me from using it.
Response from developer
Birds can be turned if in the latest update.
Wish audio were optional
I’d like to use this in a shared dormitory to wake myself up without disturbing others. But it doesn’t allow you to turn off the bird sounds, it even unmutes your device. A subtle switch for audio wouldn’t hurt the simplicity.
Response from developer
You can turn off the birds now: after setting alarm there's a button with bird icon.
