Simple
Easy…. No frills….. perfect first alarm in the morning!
Best alarm ever
I always have trouble with normal alarms because they make me wake up mad because they wake me up so abruptly. This alarm has helped me so much because it’s so calming to wake up by the sounds of birds, it also lights up the telephone screen slowly. Would highly recommend if you like me don’t like normal iPhone alarms.

Only used once so far
I’ve only used it once so far and whilst the light was nice the birds were annoying. If this could be used without the sounds that would be better.
Great
I love the idea, I don’t like that you got to keep the app open
Great App
It’s simple to use and works exactly as I’d hoped it would, using the front screen and rear flash light to gradually wake you up with light. Thank you for improving my wake ups!
A little too simple
The concept of the app is great and the interface itself is very well designed and aesthetically pleasing. However all I can do is set a timer, there is no where to set the sound for the alarm or any type of setting features in the app.
Can’t beat free but 20min fade-up would be better
Easily the best designed light app out there (paid or free) but as others noted, it could use options for 10min, 15min and 20min fade-up of the light and sounds as it’s currently too quick - especially if you’re used to a hardware wake-up light. Plus, an option to mute the sound would also be appreciated. But hey, it’s totally free, whatcha gonna do?

LIES
At the time of writing, the privacy section of the app claims NO data is collected. But the apps privacy policy states this:
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our App to you.
The app claims not to collect ‘personal’ data, but data can be easily anonymized, see aol data leak for a principal example.
Furthermore, the developer explains that the data collected can be shared with others under a variety of circumstances and expeesses that the data they collect may be subject to a breach. While this is technically true, no data is 100% safe from breaches, this statement makes me question the likelihood that the developer thinks this will happen and if the fact that this statement is in the privacy policy is a testament to the security practices undertaken by the dishonest developer.

Response from developer
Sorry, I’m not a lawyer or privacy expert. The app doesn’t have any third party analytics and never connects to a backend. Hence “No data is collected” label. But it’s on the App Store and Apple can do whatever they want with your data. And I can’t do anything about it. If you know how to write a better Privacy Policy explaining this usage please tell me.
great!
Honestly I have no problems with this app! I hate being woken up by alarms but this is like a really calming way of it, as second before the time u have set the alarm ur flash comes on but itS a nice warm colour , then u here birds that’s ur time to wake up it’s so chill and easy!!!!!<<<<3333333333
A great simple alarm
This alarm is great! Super simple, there are no settings to fuss around with except the wake up time. And it's exactly what you would want from a light alarm. The light gradually starts to increase about 10 minutes before the alarm. About 5 minutes before the alarm, the camera light kicks on and starts to increase. The birds start chirping 3 minutes before the alarm. I gave it 4 stars because the bird noises are a bit intense for me. Instead of it sounding like there are birds chirping outside my windows, it's a bit more like waking up in an aviary. But I've enjoyed using this alarm regardless.
