Alarming Functionality - Folders Not Working
I bought this app to organize my various alarms within the folder structure, but the app will not allow me to select individual alarms and place them in a folder. The app will also not allow for the creation of an alarm within a given folder.
Created folders also cannot be deleted either. Developer should make strides to correct these issues and provide an update.

Great App & Great Dev
I jumped on this when it was released, but there was a problem with it working on my phone. The dev was very responsive and kept at it, and now it works flawlessly! I like the added options that I don’t get on the built in app, and it’s worth every penny. If you need a serious, grown up alarm app, this is the one for you!

Love it - no more missing an alarm
Thanks for making this - I’ve slept through alarms before and was not happy so thank you.
Developer… I would like your comments on the reliability issues
Like me, I’m sure many of your users would appreciate your comments on the reliability issues addressed in the recent one star reviews. I really want to use the app, but the hit and miss on alarms actually working makes it difficult.
Are we doing something wrong that’s preventing the alarms from working?

Support IS available… (can’t edit previous comment for some reason???)
So, following the Developer Response, i contacted them and we found that if the AppleWatch is mirroring the iPhone, the iPhone becomes passive and doesn’t « wake up » to ring the alarm set. Meanwhile, the aWatch just makes one sound, not enough to wake me up. They are working on a solution now.
Looking forward to maximize the use of the app.

Response from developer
Hey, thanks for the review! The links are gray but you can still click on them (I thought it looked better this way... will change). Email me at hi@midnight.day and I'll investigate the bug.
Brilliant features, beautiful app
The alarms work perfectly thanks to the development team working tirelessly. Second, the app focuses on actually getting you up in a fun way. You can unlock “Missions” that require you to do something to stop the alarm. Two of my favorites include taking a photo of something (Ex, bathroom sink) or a barcode (that I have linked to my Notion). Weather app + calendar integration are awesome too - everything promotes sequential behavior. Love it and amazing work!

Exact Design Ideas I am Looking For but Doesn't Work
As a software engineer, I purchased Midnight Alarm with a lifetime subscription because the design description is exactly what I have been looking for. However, it doesn't work most of the time! Using it I haven't woken up when alarms were set and have missed important appointments because Midnight Alarm app never went off. To have a dependable, reliable app I have had to go back to the Apple Alarm app. It works correctly! I hope in the future the software developer corrects this app's bugs.

The app Does NOT work
To quote the developer “Supports Critical Alerts. Guaranteed to ring in silent mode and Do Not Disturb.” I had three critical alarms set with max volume within the app, with the phone’s volume on max as well.
I gave the app approval for the permissions it requested for Critical Alerts needed to bypass the mute switch and Do Not Disturb.
My phone was in silent (mute) mode. I watched as the alarm times approached. All three times, I watched notification banner pop-up on my phone, but the sound never broke through.
Next, I took my phone off silent and set three new critical alarms. Same outcome. I received the notification banners, but alarms’ sound never occurred.
As much as I dislike Apple’s Clock/Alarms app, it does work 100% percent of the time. Midnight Alarm Clock was 0 for 6 with the sound.
There are a number of reviews addressing this very issue, as well as other instances when the app fails to work. I hope the developers will address these issues and put out an update soon.

Nice app.
Works well. Needs an alarm screen that displays a clock of the current time and the next alarm time for those that use it to get up in the mornings.
Great app!
Sort app by time should take into account the scheduled date as well. ie 4pm on saturday should be sorted before 3pm on sunday. Currently the sort feature only looks at the time field.
