Leave a Review Light Alarm
  • Works for Me

    I’ve been using this app for 11 years and it has been great for me. I don’t always like to wake up when I have to but this has made it much easier than waking up with adrenaline streaming through my system.
  • Works flawlessly

    Have been using this app for years. Great way to wake up with gradual increase in light output and birdsong. Helps me get out of bed feeling refreshed.
  • Great free sunrise alarm

    I have been using this for years. It is a great slow wake-up alarm with sunrise effect (great for dark winter mornings) and dawn-chorus bird sound effect. I use it on iPad but works on iPhone too, on bedside table.
  • Great app but needs a visual update

    Love the function it wakes you up very naturally but would love to change at least the clock font to modernise it slightly
  • Love it - except

    Wish you could choose the font size and type. Current font is too ‘fat’ to make out the difference between some numbers through sleepy eyes. Also if I use it on an iPad, I can’t choose to have the entire background get lighter, not just the size of an iPhone background. Otherwise, I love it and use it daily.

  • 5 Stars BUT

    You can’t turn the sound alarm option off. Defeats the purpose for my needs - also an easy fix on their part but no...
  • Could be great

    Every night you have to reset this thing. I’d give it 5 stars if you could set it and not have to worry about it
  • Nice Idea - Too Many Flaws - Unreliable

    Love the idea but the flaws short circuit the benefits. There’s no way to turn off the time light while sleeping so I have to put the phone face down so my sleep won’t be disturbed which means the light alarm is useless. But I was using it anyhow for the bird alarm, until this morning. This morning I tapped the screen for snooze (just a corner because the phone is face down to handle the first flaw) and the app never unsnoozed. Turns out the app put up a modal dialog wanting me to rate it and the alarm was off when I needed snooze. Dumb move given I wound up sleeping too late because of that. The combination of these flaws make this app unreliable. And the tragedy is that the flaws are design choices that don’t need to be there. Hope the developer fixes the flaws and good luck! For now I need a workable light alarm clock. I’m going to shell out the bucks to buy a physical dedicated light alarm clock that doesn’t have these flaws today.

  • The birds are authentic

    There are times when I think my alarm is going off only to realize it is the birds outside my window. It is both a good thing (as it is a natural wake up call) and an annoying thing (on some days I want to sleep in)!
  • works well but night mode needs a fully black background

    works well but night mode needs a fully black background. Would be nice to integrate a weather app upon turning off alarm
