  • Great but background mode is ridiculously dumb

    This app I thought was the best thing I ever found, but I am writing this review at 4:40 PM, I just woke up and I was supposed to drive down for Thanksgiving.

    I was wondering how I slept through both my alarms, but I didn’t, they never went off. My phone wasn’t on airplane mode, silent mode, or anything of the sorts. I open the app, and all of a sudden they start deciding to go off? 3 hours after they were supposed to??

    What kind of garbage app design is that? I have background mode turned on there is absolutely no reason for that to happen but now I’m spending thanksgiving alone, screw this app.

  • Semi-Frequent Crashes

    When it works it works wonderfully…
    Except like once a month or so for me it’ll crash and no sound will come from the phone until I open the app, rendering its usefulness as an alarm clock moot that day. I’m gonna switch to another in the meantime cuz I can’t risk being late for work like that
  • Love it but it always crashes in background mode

    When it’s open, this app can’t be beat for getting out of bed, but it constantly crashes in background mode. I get notifications ALL DAY that it’s crashed and if I forget to open it before I go to bed, it doesn’t’t wake me up. I hope they fix this because this app is a lifesaver otherwise.
  • Works great!

    Love this app, actually gets me out of bed which keeps me out of bed! Only recommendations are some more traditional ringtones and improvements to the bedtime enforcer, maybe only getting the notification when your phone is unlocked and it noticed movement? I thought I would love it but I have to turn it off after I found myself being startled by a loud notification every time I checked the time in the middle of the night!!!

  • Crashes and then doesn’t go off at set times

    The alarm is great when it works. I get “background crash” alerts all day long. When o set the alarm before going to sleep, I make sure it says the background mode is activated… still sometimes the alarm fails to sound and if I go into the app later in the day, it will sound then. Really annoying. It’s fantastic when it works, the only way to get me out of bet on time!

  • Crashes Constantly - not reliable.

    If you're like me, you're wanting an alarm that reliably gets you out of bed. I so wanted this app to be it and when it works it is exactly what I wanted.

    But I get notifications every few hours that the app crashed. It'll happen at night while I'm sleeping, disabling the alarms. Out of the 5 or 6 days of use only two mornings with the alarm actually working happened.

    Sorry devs, can't use your app if I can't trust it'll actually work.

  • Wakes Me Up!

    This app is really good for anyone who doesn’t wake up well to normal alarms, I ah e a hard time with getting used to alarm tones and now the basic ones jsut don’t work for me, and when they do I fall asleep again.

    The barcode factor does great to get me out of bed, the only thing I wish they’d do is make it so you can turn on your flashlight when scanning the barcode, it turns off every time the alarm goes off.

  • Doesn’t Work

    I downloaded the app yesterday and it did not go off this morning. When I woke up an hour later than I needed to, I had multiple notifications saying if had rung but clearly that wasn’t the case because it still wasn’t ringing. It only started when I opened the app to see what the issue was. I will be deleting this app.

  • Horrible sound instead of music

    App kept sending me push notifications that the app crashed, no idea why. Backup alarm was turned on, fine, I keep resetting the app. I had set up my alarm to play some pleasant music instead of an alarm, because I hate being startled awake. The first night I used this app, it blared some horrible chirping alarm. I hated it, horrible way to wake up. Immediately deleted the app.

  • nice

    the procedurally generated alarm sounds are absolutely nightmarish especially "effective" that one rlly does the job. so far so good, this app actually woke me up and got me out of bed. And all it took was 1 alarm
