Love it...
I’m giving this app five stars even though I think there is some room for improvement. It does the job it claims to do. I wake up to gradual light and birds chirping. I find myself grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw when waking to loud abrupt noises so this is ideal.
I would love to have the option for different sounds (ocean waves, light rain, etc. ) and to have some control over the duration of the fade in.

Lots of unrealised potential
This is a beautiful and simple app that misses out on a lot of potential. If you could only make the sunrise happen more slowly - over 10 minutes like a real sunrise - and have options to use the screen only (i.e. not using the flashlight which is bright white light and doesn’t resemble the sun at all) and have an option to turn the bird sound off (nice touch but I live in a forest surrounded by bird noises) the app would be perfect. But most of all it happens too quickly; within one minute the screen is completely white, instead of turning reds, oranges, pinks and yellows over 10 or so minutes - just like a real sunrise.

Don’t bother: Faulty, Not intuitive, no controls
There is a “sleep” time and “stop” time. I can change the sleep time but there is no context, am I setting a time to fall asleep? Am I setting a wake up start time? How do I adjust the length of time to wake up? How do I test this? What is the stop time? It seems to be set and won’t let me change it. Is this supposed to be the time that the wake up alarm finishes? It is preset to 9:43 PM. There are no other buttons or links. How do I set preferences?

Simple but effective
This app is so simple and I love it. You simply select the time and tap sleep and that’s it. The birds sound that start are nice and quiet initially and gradually get louder which I have found in other apps tend to start too loud. Being a light sleeper I wake up very easily so its nice to wake up gradually.
My only reason for not giving 5 stars is I find the light increase a little too fast. Would love an option to change the duration to 3, 5, 10, or 20 minutes for those of us who want a more “natural” wake up.
