Seems redundant and is a bit annoying. ### 3/5 — Great app *2025-07-29* This is a great app only thing I can think of to make it a for certain 5 star rating is to allow the app to run an app called radio box as an option to use for playing music, other than that it’s a great app. I will change my rating to 5 stars if you fix it so you can choose what ever radio app as an option to use with this app, radio box is a great app to use but any app that someone chooses would make this better and a 5 star rating. I used radio box as an example but I also like radio box to. ### 3/5 — Consumes Battery While Not in Use *2020-02-13* I can understand this app consuming some battery while I have it foregrounded at night, with my phone on charge. In the morning I turned off the alarm and went about my day, but noticed my battery draining faster than normal. I opened battery usage info ... lo and behold, Alarm Music was responsible for 87% of the battery consumption, compared to 4% for the next most demanding app! It was active for 21.5 of the last 24 hours. (I only slept for 8.) It seems to never sleep even while in the background. ### 2/5 — Needs update BADLY! *2015-09-30, version 1.6.1* I was using this app every single day - as I'd have Spotify playing in the background as I sleep, then waking up to either my Music through this app, or some alarm tune. Always switching it up. It just needs an update for bugs -- and a bigger button that takes you to the screen where you edit the time/music/etc. Problems (consistent): App crashes upon opening screen when alarm goes off & many others. Would love to use this app again, but now switching to a new one. ### 2/5 — Shuffle complete music library not available. *2014-03-01, version 1.6.1* I want to wake each morning to a random song from my music. This app lets me build a playlist for the alarm, but that's not what I want. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2014-01-10* It takes up a lot of power so u constantly have to keep it charged. It also doesn't really play music, but it plays nice calm sounds. ### 4/5 — It's Okay *2012-06-22, version 1.4.7* It won't play the alarm. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work?? *2012-02-29, version 1.4.7* Ever time I use this app it goes off in the middle of the night, and it lied because the music part doesn't work :( ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-02-06, version 1.4.7* Awesome, I get to wake up to all my favorite songs, I love it. ### 5/5 — Good app *2012-01-30, version 1.4.7* This was my last resort glad I stumbled upon it! I LOVE IT :D THANKS now I can get up with my favorite music playing ^___^ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible🤢 *2021-11-28, version 1.7* It’s absolutely terrible! My kids hate it! ### 1/5 — Locked *2018-04-10, version 1.7* Wont work if phone locked pointless... ### 1/5 — Flashlight crash *2017-08-15* When I activate the flashlight it immediately turns off and app closes. ### 1/5 — Nono *2014-03-24, version 1.6.1* It stinks I can not pick my own song ### 1/5 — Sometimes the alarm doesn't work. *2013-06-08, version 1.4.7* I had set the alarm to go off every morning at 8:00, but it would randomly skip some days. ### 1/5 — FAIL *2012-11-16, version 1.4.7* Great idea - doesn't work. Overslept for 2 meetings. Then alarm goes off randomly in the middle of the lecture hall mid-afternoon! ### 1/5 — Pretty but not reliable *2012-09-11, version 1.4.7* The features are nice, the location service for weather is a bit flakey, but what killed it for me was when it crashed overnight, and then the alarm didn't waken me the next morning. Unforgivable. ### 1/5 — Please fix *2012-06-30* I have used this alarm for years now and when I first got it there were some bugs that I had to figure out. I did and the alarm worked great. I have two alarms set to go off in the same day and that worked great as well, till the new update. Now my second alarm doesn't go off. The app shuts down after my first alarm goes off. I literally have to exit the app for it to work. Extremely frustrating. Please fix this problem! ### 1/5 — BAD *2012-04-13, version 1.4.7* Ok u say the 1 star people are jelious!!!!! The 1 star people actually used the app and realized it sucked!!!!!:( the alarm DOESNT work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:( ### 1/5 — GARBAGE DON *2012-03-04, version 1.4.7* I have set the alarm on this app and there were atleast 3 times where it did not go off... to many bugs its junk ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works a charm. *2024-02-20, version 1.7* Have used it for two weeks now. Set the alarm, plug in the power cord, screen stays on. Haven’t missed an alarm. Plays my purchased Apple media. Thank you. ### 5/5 — This app has different clocks it it *2023-10-07* It’s got an analog clock and digital clock and standard clock and flip clock and binary clock ### 5/5 — Needs an update *2020-06-03, version 1.7* I LOVE THIS APP! You can choose your song AND the volume you want it played at! The fade in timer? Astonishing!!!! I just need an update so it’ll load like it did 4 years ago. Also, the background you’re testing? I think it’s working for what your looking for.... please update? I don’t want to lose this app to age. ### 5/5 — Good *2017-06-15* It works the way it's supposed to ### 5/5 — Years later and it's still the best *2016-05-05* I've had this app for years!! I recently updated my phone, and restarted it as brand new, and came looking for this app again. I ended up downloading a few others to test them out. After looking at the layout and ease of navigation, I realized this app is still the BEST! Although it hasn't been updated lately, it has never malfunctioned on me ever. ### 5/5 — Best alarm app!!! *2013-11-13* This is the best alarm app out on the market. I have probably tried 15+ apps out there. If it's out there I've probably tried it. This app surpasses them all by far. The ability to snooze with the volume keeps is amazing! Just like hitting a snooze bar on a real alarm clock. No more fumbling with the phone when I just want a few extra minutes if sleep! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-08-31, version 1.4.7* Wow *waves* i love this app i make all my alarms on it now so i can listen to my music when i wake up and that makes me happy plus i love demi lavatos lightweight so when i wake up for school i can listen to it and ya soooooooooo keep it up i love u guys alot!!!!!!!!!!!!*blows kiss*BYEEEEEEEEEE ### 5/5 — LOVE this app!! BEST alarm clock!! *2012-08-10* I've been using this app for about two years now. I just purchased the paid app to support Steve Tranby! The BEST feature is being able to snooze with the volume keys, even if the phone is locked! You don't have to struggle when you are half asleep. The alarm sounds are awesome too! And if there is an issue with the app, Mr Tranby is extremely responsive! Keep up the great work!!! ### 5/5 — Zombe *2012-06-02, version 1.4.7* Aosme and set ### 5/5 — Finally! *2012-04-08, version 1.4.7* Finally an alarm app that just works! my iPhone is always on charge overnight so; battery drainage is not a problem. Still goes off if in the background & on silent, also can set the snooze duration & have my own music to wake me up, exactly what I've been looking for. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
