Leave a Review Barcode Alarm Clock
Great concept, poor execution
I’ve been needing an alarm like this as I’m a heavy sleeper and not a morning person, so I was very excited to find this app! However, I get a notification on my phone from the app every couple of hours saying the app has crashed and needs to be reopened. Well, when I’m sleeping I can’t exactly see that or take care of it, so the alarm doesn’t go off for me in the morning. I’m so disappointed as this could have been a game changer of an alarm for me.Show lessBudgetsijm
Great concept terrible app
The scanning barcodes to shut off the alarm works great for me, I set it for things I need to do in the morning and it’s made my mornings much easier. However the app “crashes” literally every single day. Usually it crashes after I’ve already been woken up but at least once it was prior to my alarms going off, and I over slept and was late for work. I’m going to find a different barcode scanning alarm app.Show lessParkGaynger
Crashing?
I’ve had this app for literally two days and I’ve gotten what seems like around 50 crash reports. It worked fine this morning (the first time I’ve ever used it) and I have since changed the settings so that I only get crash reports once, but it seems extremely unreliable and I’m hesitant to depend on it in the mornings...Show lessamc135
Doesn’t work consistently
I love this idea, and it’s worked a couple times. But many of the times my alarm didn’t go off until I woke up normally and picked up my phone. I’ve checked it and reset it a bunch of times and it still won’t do it. It sends “crash” notifications constantly. It just isn’t reliable.Brookideee
Better in Theory than Execution
Getting up and having to scan my vitamins worked every morning. I have NEVER had that kind of success with an app. However the app kept crashing and had problems with running in the background all day long? It’s crash notifications and probably running behind the scenes was also draining my battery. Deleted the app and now my battery life is back to normal. If they can fix that I will 100% come back.Show lessGemSemaj
Good Idea, Poorly Executed
I downloaded this alarm to force myself to get out of bed in the morning as opposed to hitting snooze. It’s a decent idea but the app scanner takes a while to focus. The biggest flaw is that the app runs in the background constantly and uses and inordinate amount of battery. There is NO innocent reason this app should be doing this. First day and it’s been running for 8hrs 50min (I was asleep for 7hrs and set the alarm right before...). It’s used 20% of my overall battery usage for the day - more than Outlook or Facebook. Unacceptable. I’m deleting it now.Show lesstoribearz
Wish it worked correctly
I’ve downloaded this app at two different points in time now. The reason being that it does help me to get up in the AM. However, I receive AT LEAST hourly notifications throughout the day that the app has crashed and isn’t working correctly. In the mornings, due to it crashing, it doesn’t go off properly. It does the background mode or whatever where it’s a much lighter ringtone or sometimes it doesn’t go off at all. Yesterday it randomly went off at the wrong time after failing to go off in the morning. So, if it worked correctly it’s be great. I’m just going to give up on this one though and find a different app with this capability.Show lessFancySpyder
Worst alarm ever as it fails more than it works.
Despite updating the app and my phone and even un-installing/re-installing, this app continues to give me “crash” reports. There have been several times in which it fails to go off. Then in the morning when I open the app to see what the issue was, then it decides to go off in that exact moment (which is several hours past the time the alarm is set for) so I make sure I check it every morning, otherwise if I forget to do so before I leave, whenever it randomly sounds then, I’d have no way to turn the alarms off because I wouldn’t have the barcoded item with me to scan. Which left me with absolutely NO option but to have to turn (and leave) my phone completely off as that was the only way to “disable” the constant alarm noise on my phone. (Unlike my other app, if the alarm got missed, it would still show it is set but it lets me turn it off without triggering it to ala first). Obviously turning my phone off was inconvenient and aggravating because it meant missing calls too and not being able to use other apps. As if this wasn’t enough frustration, the app crashed again last night and apparently over rode everything else on my phone again as my other alarm clock app didn’t sound either but the most aggravating was that this app somehow turned my phone completely off!! Making me oversleep by a few hours and missed taking a critical medication at the correct time.Show lessSimplyMe2020
Decent alarm until phone battery kept dying
I used this alarm for a few months and it was very effective at getting me out of bed. However, I noticed if the app went into background mode, whether it be after I had deactivated the alarm already or I had just set it and went to bed, it drained my battery until it died. This is problematic because than I don’t get up on time.Show lessNaomi ^_^
Amazing app very helpful
I use this app for all my alarms now I finally don’t have to make a bunch of alarms just to wake me up I just need one alarm and it also gets me moving so I don’t go back to sleep.I love this app I would totally recommend if your a deep sleeper or light sleeper.😁😄😁lululululululuooofergang
