It works but the ads make it unbearable
I know this is the free version, so I expected ads, but this is insane. Not sure if it’s a glitch or if they intentionally wanted to make it so bad that you have to spend money to remove them. I spend more time trying to escape the onslaught of ads than I do setting the alarm. And once you exit out of one, 5 more will follow before you get the chance to set an alarm. I have to get out of the app and get back in every single time I use it because of the glitchy ads that pop up constantly. Some of them are the scammer ads that say “your phone has a virus, click here!!” too. Didn’t want to rate something this bad, but I wish the developers would fix this issue

No support
The ads got in the way of testing the app so i just bought it to make them go away. The app is pretty full featured, but definitely has useability issues and bugs. I tried reaching out to their support. I got a confirmation email that a support ticket had been created, but never got any support from the developer. If the developer reads this.... make the text on the alarm clock and snooze buttons BIGGER so it is easier for those of us staring at our phone without glaases on to read it.
Update: finally heard back from developer. They acknowledged the errors but they havent been fixed.

Very good
This is a great app! My apple alarm used to never wake me up, because for some reason it would always reduce the volume even when I set it high. I also love that in this app you can choose any Apple Music to wake you up! The only thing I wish is that they had a variety of default alarm sounds, but other than that I definitely recommend this! 💕

Good but ads are frustrating
Love the alarm clock, it’s the only one which ensures I don’t fall asleep by solving the maths puzzle.
The only frustration is some of the ads have the ‘x’ to close button appear where the battery at is (behind it) so you can’t actually use it. Try closing the app and reopening several times and the same ad appears. If this was fixed it would be the perfect app.

Alarm
Not impressed, alarm never went off. Ending up missing my meeting
Response from developer
Thank you for the comment! Please note that when in the foreground volume settings of the app are used. When in the background - the app uses volume settings of the device. Hope this was helpful!
Almost perfect
This alarm clock is almost perfectly what I’m looking for. I’m using it for a lucid dreaming technique that combines WBTB and WILD. The function I need from this clock that’s hard to find is the auto snooze. However it would be much better for the technique I’m going for if I could auto snooze for up to 90minutes and also forever. As in it auto snoozes in 30seconds and the alarm does not go off again until the next day.
It would also be most beneficial if I could edit the auto snooze duration. I would want it to be around 10-15 seconds rather than 30. If these two features could be added I will give 5 stars.

Nice in theory but alarm doesn’t match preview
The fade in doesn’t work at all and the alarm is set to the top volume no matter what. You can change the sounds and the time, but other than that, it doesn’t change.
The preview app button doesn’t give you a preview of what will happen; it gives you a preview of what you set
The ads are so frequent that they essentially turn the app into crippleware, but I would’ve put up with it if the fade in actually worked

A ‘Meh’ Experience
So I remember having this app a couple of years ago but I’d stopped it when the snooze button no longer appeared on the Lock Screen. I am giving it a second try. I am still trying to see if the snooze button is better on various settings because it does not appear on the Lock Screen still. And the more frustrating thing is that despite me selecting several songs from my playlist and seeing my playlist as the option it STILL pulls from the default tones list. I should not have paid a second time to have ads removed because so far it really isn’t worth that $5. And this product really should be a lot better than this, it performs the basic function of an alarm but nothing else is working as advertised. Very disappointing.

We appreciate if you could contact our support service (support@apalon.com) with a more detailed description of the issue so that we could try to resolve it for you. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
3 ads in the first minute of using the app
I’d love to see whether or not this app is good but after seeing all of those ads while trying to figure it out, they list me. Reply to developer response: I know this is the free version but I could t even evaluate the free version in order to see if I wanted to purchase it. I see a LOT of reviews here referencing the ads. You have a bad product with too many ads. Just admit that and adjust it a bit. Please stop with the bad responses. Yet another reply to the developer: just stop with the canned responses. If you are here to help instead of just making yourself look good, then help. Offer solutions. Change your program. Do something instead of just pasting canned responses.

Upgrade ruined it
Used to be the best…but now one Star. Since last update it opens frozen! The seconds are frozen, you can’t set any alarms or do anything. If you open and close or usually 3-4 times it will work. Sadly I don’t feel I can trust it to work. If it gets fixed and will consistently open correctly I’d consider using it again. In the meantime I have switched to “Nightstand.” It has a very simple interface and is easy to read at night. Paid extra for features that mainly consist of a few more clock faces. Was kind of disappointed but was only $2.99. At least it consistently works, so is my go to for now.
