Love being able to schedule alarms with all my favorite songs. Having them in this app instead of the standard alarm app, makes it easy to manage and play with projects. Thank you for creating such a useful app. Gonzalo ### 5/5 — I love this alarm! *2026-01-21* This app has amazing functionality! Unlimited number of alarms, various options for repetitions, copying the previous alarm so you just adjust it, instead of setting up a new one… The list goes on. And, the developer is responsive to complaints, which is great! I highly recommend this app! **Developer response:** Make sure the "Send hint notification" option is turned off. 1. Tap the gear button in the bottom right of the “Clock” screen. 2. Tap the "Others" tab, then turn off "Send hint notification" under "Advanced settings" This option should be off by default, but if you turn it on, a confirmation notification will be sent every time. ### 3/5 — AM? PM? *2025-12-15, version 13.7.0* I used to use this often but then the newest update removed the ability to set the alarms for am or pm. I don’t want to be woken up at 1am when I work at 1pm ### 3/5 — Timer alarm *2025-12-08, version 13.6.2* Timer alarm doesn’t sound on locked iPhone ### 5/5 — Very good app *2025-10-29, version 13.6.2* Very good app ### 5/5 — 多用してます *2025-10-24* 休憩が終わる時間、電車を降りる時間、そろそろ出ないとやばいよの時間、めちゃくちゃ使ってます。 前まで使用していた別アプリは5分ごとにしか設定できず、音もけたたましいものしか選べなかったのですが、分ごとに設定できてタイマーもあり、何よりシンプルで使い方がわかりやすいのがとっても便利です。 ありがとうございます！！ ### 2/5 — Dynamic Island *2025-10-23, version 13.6.2* I wished worked with Dynamic Island, that would bake it so much better ### 5/5 — The best *2025-10-20, version 13.6.2* The best ### 5/5 — Great *2025-10-12, version 13.6.2* It works great (usually). I muted it and it stopped working even after unpaused it. Then one saved alarm worked but another didn't. I just started the update so hopefully it will take care of that. Thanks for the app and listening to us ### 3/5 — Great overall but… *2025-09-22, version 13.6.2* It would be really nice if it didn’t use volume sound and instead uses notifications/alarm sounds. Your work-around kind of works with setting the app volume to 10 when you open it, but then when I close the app my phone is at max volume… ### 5/5 — Superb! *2025-08-26, version 13.6.1* Such an amazing alarm clock and timer! It is intuitive to use. The copy option is a time saver. The folder feature separates the alarms and corrals them to be able to switch the multiple alarms on and off with one button. My job varies from day to day and I love having the ability to tailor alarms for all my different shifts. I look forward to any improvements you send our way, but with the app being expertly crafted I can’t real see how you could best your efforts. Ten Stars. I’m so glad I found this. It puts the iOS alarm app to shame. ;) ### 5/5 — excelente *2025-08-17, version 13.6.1* me gusta es muy buena, hecha a la medida para mí,. se las recomiendo a todos, porque la haces tú a tu gusto. Y lo más lindo es que se apaga sola. Se la recomienda al 100% como dice el dicho, buena bonita y gratis, por eso le doy cinco estrellas 👍 ### 5/5 — NO ADS IN THERE??? *2025-07-19, version 13.5.1* How does premium work, It wasn’t there! Just so shocked of no ads! No premium, No ads is the best!!! I Can’t do anything and make it a night stand!!! ### 4/5 — 消音モードでもサウンド鳴るようにして欲しい *2025-07-14* カレンダーで日付を選べたり、保存したアラームを複製できる点など使い勝手が良いです。 しかし、一つだけ改善して頂きたいのが、重大な通知機能を利用した消音モードでもサウンドが流れるように変更して欲しい点です。 これがあれば星5が妥当な評価だと思います。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — VOLTEM COM AS PASTAS *2026-06-03* POR QUE TIRARAM A FUNÇAO DAS PASTAS???? eu trabalho em turno e era a melhor coisa do mundo QUE MUNDO CRUELL **Developer response:** A função não foi removida. Por favor, vá em: Ajustes > guia Alarme > e ative a opção "Pastas". ### 1/5 — Endless snooze *2026-02-14, version 13.7.2* Can’t turn off alarm unless open up app. Notification comes up when phone is sleeping and gives option to swipe left. Option for CLEAR does nothing. Alarm goes off again even when the alarm has been set to no snooze. ### 1/5 — Alarm to ask if you heard the alarm?? *2025-10-23* I like everything about this app except the ridiculous way it sounds an alarm to ask if you heard it! I need multiple daily reminder alarms for medication times etc. The last thing I need is another alarm asking if I can hear it every single time I turn one off!! We’re not idiots, developers! We can make sure we can hear the ones we set without being checked up on! Please at least make the unnecessary sounds optional! **Developer response:** Make sure the "Send hint notification" option is turned off. 1. Tap the gear button in the bottom right of the “Clock” screen. 2. Tap the "Others" tab, then turn off "Send hint notification" under "Advanced settings" This option should be off by default, but if you turn it on, a confirmation notification will be sent every time. ### 1/5 — 闹钟不响 *2025-08-09, version 13.6.1* 这款闹钟在飞行模式下不响。幸好我设多了一个闹钟，不然误我飞机。 ### 1/5 — Alarm & timer *2025-02-22, version 13.4.0* Too ALMOST X RATED FOR ME WITH THIS ONE AD ### 1/5 — Alarm app problems *2024-06-04* I got to give this 1 star because this alarm app is Horrible. It has so many features and you can do so many things but it fails to achieve the one thing that makes it an alarm app. and that is “Ring” it never rings for me at all when I set an alarm at 9:00 a clock and it hits that time it just shows me a notification up on my screen but it doesn’t make any sound at all. This is bad because when I am sleeping and I already set an alarm for waking up then all I am going to get is a notification pop-up on my screen and No sound whatsoever this makes it impossible to even know what is going on and the chances of me not waking up is 100% at this point please fix this.. I am surprised that this app has so many features but can’t do its most basic task… **Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. This app uses the iOS notification function to notify you of the time. Please note that if the notification sound is disabled on your iPhone, the alarm will not sound either. Common reasons are: - When in silent mode. - When the ringer volume is set to very low - When the media volume is set to 0 while using other apps. - When mirroring notifications to Apple Watch (And if you connect earphones, etc., the alarm will sound from the earphones instead of the phone itself.) These are iOS specifications and cannot be controlled from the app. When you don't want your phone to ring, such as at night, we recommend using iOS' Do Not Disturb mode. 1. Open the "Settings" app on iPhone 2. Tap "Focus" 3. Tap "Do Not Disturb" (Also available for "Personal" and "Work") 4. Add "Alarm & Timer" to "Apps" of "ALLOW NOTIFICATIONS" 5. Set the time when you do not want to receive calls with "SET A SCHEDULE" * Please turn off the silent mode so that you can hear the notification sound. App may be able to work around these restrictions by keeping them running in the background. However, these methods have disadvantages such as increased battery consumption, so we have not implemented them at the moment. Of course, if we find a better way to deal with these issues, we would like to apply it. Thank you for your review. ### 1/5 — As notificações não funcionam *2023-12-29* Só funcionam se você deixar o aplicativo aberto, tentei de tudo mas não resolveu. O ideal é que o alarme toque mesmo com o celular fechado **Developer response:** Pedimos desculpas pela inconveniência. Os banners de notificação aparecerão na tela de bloqueio? Se o iPhone estiver no modo silencioso ou o volume do toque estiver definido como 0, será exibido apenas um banner e o som de notificação (som do alarme) não será emitido. Infelizmente, essa é uma especificação do iOS e não pode ser removida do aplicativo. Se você quiser ouvir o som de notificação desse aplicativo sem precisar tocar o telefone à noite, é conveniente usar o modo Não perturbe no iPhone. Obrigado por sua avaliação. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2023-11-12, version 12.8.0* I cannot figure out how to make the alarm sound rather than just one short vibration. Deleting this app. ### 1/5 — Notification *2023-09-19, version 12.6.0* L’application envoie toujours une notification pour me dire que je n’ai pas mis d’alarme pour le lendemain, même quand j’en ai mis une. ### 1/5 — Inefficient *2023-08-03, version 12.5.1* I'm uninstalling. The sound doesn't play if your silent mode switch is on. Also it doesn't let you choose how loud your alarm sound is. It also doesn't give you the option to dismiss in various ways. It's just a push button (no math, shake, pattern, etc.). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 毎日のアラーム設定から解放 *2026-07-16* 【追記】 返信を頂いたので追記します。 ロック画面のウィジェットについて教えて頂きありがとうございます！ バックアップの関係でインストールし直したらウィジェット一覧にしばらく表示されておらず、気付いていなかっただけでした…お手数をお掛けしました。 これで次のアラーム時間をサッと確認できて助かります。 アイコン枠2つ分のウィジェットなので、アイコン一つ分のコンパクトなタイプもあると嬉しいです。 ********** iOS26になってからカレンダーで自由に設定できるアラームが増えましたが、こちらが一番使いやすいです。 シフトが確定したらカレンダーで一ヶ月分のアラームを設定しておけるので、明日ちゃんとアラーム掛けていたかな？と心配になることがなくなりました。(消音モードになっていると音を鳴らすことができないので注意ですが) アラームごとの予定カレンダーだけではなく、全体でアラーム予定カレンダーをざっと確認できる機能があったらありがたいです。 将来的に純正アラームのように、ロック画面のウィジェットで次のアラーム時刻を確認できるようになったらいいな〜と思います。 **Developer response:** 8/12 追記: バージョン15.0.0をリリースしました。 アイコン一つ分のウィジェットを追加しました。 全体のアラーム時刻をカレンダーで確認できるようになりました。設定 > アラーム > 確認用カレンダー をオンにしてください。 なお、フォルダ機能もお使いの場合には、フォルダを長押しすると、そのフォルダ内のアラーム時刻だけを表示できる「カレンダー」メニューが表示されるようになります。 ---- 7/17 追記: ご返信ありがとうございます。 アイコン一つ分のウィジェットは、次回アップデートで追加させていただきます。少々お待ちください! ---- ご要望等ありがとうございます。全体カレンダー検討いたします。 ロック画面用のウィジェットはありますので、 ロック画面長押し > カスタマイズ > ウィジェット欄 > アラーム & タイマー で、追加できると思います。時刻の下に配置できるブロックタイプと、時刻の上に配置できる1行タイプがあります。 よろしければお試しください。 ### 5/5 — Works Great *2026-06-26* This app is great, thank you. As a teacher I have a lot of alarms. One for each period, staff meeting and parent conference reminders, etc. I appreciate using this so I don't have to spam up my OEM phone alarm. I use that the few things in my personal alarm. **Developer response:** Hello. I apologize for the inconvenience. This app reserves alarm notifications when the app is running. Possible cause 1: It is not clear what happens to these reservations when you turn off notifications in iOS settings. They may remain when the time is short, but may disappear after a long time. Possible cause 2: There is a limit to the number of notifications that an app can reserve at one time. For example, if an app can only reserve one week's worth of notifications, if the alarm rings from Monday to Friday and then turns off notifications in iOS settings for Saturday and Sunday, the notifications will not come even if you turn them back on on Monday. Solution: The easiest solution right now is to turn on notifications in iOS settings and then launch this app. No other operations are required, as new notifications are reserved just by launching the app. I will consider adding a feature to pause all alarms in the future.

I got this because sometimes my iOS alarm doesn’t work. Visually, you can make the interface and alarm screen look however you want with color schemes and images. You can also choose whatever sound you want for the alarm because you can upload audio files. Plus, when you set an alarm, it tells you how much time until it rings, so you don’t have to calculate how much sleep you will get. The app has high attention to detail and I’m surprised it’s free for how good it is. Just make sure your phone isn’t on silent mode so that the alarm rings. ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-05-19* É fácil de usar amoooooo ### 5/5 — Good *2026-04-21, version 13.9.0* I like it it’s everything all want it ### 5/5 — Alarm & Timer. *2026-04-08, version 13.9.0* I love this app, but the last time I updated I got a horrible semi-gray screen. How can I change it something soothing? ### 5/5 — simple and free *2026-04-02, version 13.8.0* legit better than displayed here. free with very minimal adds, super packed with features and customisation options including style and specifics with alarms ### 5/5 — adorei,melhor que o do iphone *2026-03-18* não usei ainda mas testei o alarme uma vez e funcionou,e eu adorei as opções de mudar cores e colocar em datas específicas,aplicativo muito completo..mas pra ficar perfeito bom se tivesse como salvar os alarmes e configurações ### 5/5 — Developing for Apple Watch *2026-02-27, version 13.8.0* I like “notification count” function. I wish this app used for watch. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
