No Audio During Alarms Fixed: I figured it out but man was that a pain
So for the past month I have been having issues with the alarms only alerting me with my haptics and not my music that I set for the alarms. I tried everything including upgrading from the 13 mini to the 15 pro as of a week ago. Still with the upgrade I was having the exact same issue. Yesterday I went into my music library and downloaded every song I’m using for individual alarm sounds. Once I downloaded them all I gave it an hour then force reset my phone (press and release the volume up button, press and release the volume down button, press and hold the power button until the phone turns off and continue holding until the apple icon pops up the screen then release power button and allow the phone to start back up) and now all my alarms work again. So moral of the story is if you don’t hear your alarm going off and you have music set as the alarm tone make sure to download the song not just add it to your library. Seems the alarms will only work with downloaded songsMuch needed feature
I’ve used this App for many years now. I can’t live without my daily alarms bec of being just plain busy and being a care-giver for many years. Your customers would welcome a feature that eliminates the annoying fact of completing a daily task earlier than expected, only to have that alarm go off anyway! I don’t mind it when I’m by myself. It’s the people around me who get annoyed esp if I need the volume loud!
Now this happens often everyday. Say I completed an alarm to “take morning meds everyday at 9am” earlier than expected at 7am just once that week. I wish I could just silence it for just that day. I can’t just slide the alarm button off. I’ll forget to turn it back on! So people around me end up having to hear alarms I don’t need during that day if I completed my task early. Hope there’s a way to fix that to make mine and the people around me hear one less alarm go off! KkYes…I have that many alarms from 7a-12a! Thank you for years of keeping my world in order!Not sure why all the bad reviews… 🤷🏻♀️
So I get that seeing the world clock first upon opening is a bit annoying. You’re ONE tap away from the alarm section though. One tap.
I haven’t had any issues with alarms not going off, and I’ve been able to set my own 30 second song clips to use via using the Garage Band app to import a song clip and transfer it to my Apple ringtones. The songs are more than loud enough. I love that I can set multiple alarms and name then separate things, and they always go off (like clockwork, lol) without fail.
I admit that it would be nice to be able to set one alarm for a specific date but you can use the calendar notification for those types of occasions.
Overall I’m very happy with the app, though if this changes in the future I will come and update my review. (Oh and for reference, I’m using an iPhone XR.)
