What did I pay for?
I purchased the paid version for the extra features and the app is the same as the non paid version. The promised features did not appear with the new app - just a menu for the features that does nothing. Also the menu cannot be entered in landscape orientation or it will be unusable and inescapable. Refund please!

Alarm time
Alarm time not showing , fix it.
Potentially very good but...
Searching for a simple straightforward alarm clock app, this one looked ideal and, wanting to have greater control over the alarm time, I purchased the Pro upgrade.
Using the app on both an iPhone SE and an iPad mini, both running iOS 14.4.2, the alarm time display works properly on the iPhone, but doesn't work at all on the iPad.
On both the iPhone and the iPad, whilst the options screen dispays correctly when selected when using the app in portrait mode, when selecting 'Options' whilst in landscape mode only part of the Options screen is displayed, with none of the slider controls visible and with the "Done" button also off-screen. The only way to return to the main clock screen is to close the app and re-open it. Very poor.

Pro version total crap
Pro version same as free version - utter rip off!
This WAS a great alarm clock
Last updat was 4 years ago and with the last iOS update the pro version will not open - opens for a second and closes again
Quit Working
I’ve used this app daily for years. Imagine my disappointment when it failed to work after updating to iOS 14.2. Please fix!
Only 12 hr format
Paid for the pro app but some functions don’t work like display alarm time. There is no 24hr format and the screen dimmed ok but the close app bar at bottom of screen remains fully lit. Clock deleted as all this annoyed me.
Beautiful face, poor mechanics
There are several issues with this app, which makes it pretty much useless.
You can only set the alarm for the next 12 hours. If it is 7:05 am now, and you want to set it to 6:45 am next day you have to wait until 6:45 pm. Otherwise the time jumps ahead by 12 hours when you cross current time.
Setting alarm precisely is nearly impossible. You have to move the Alarm hand by swiping and it often jumps when you release it. A more traditional time entry mechanism would be very handy.
Background alarm doesn’t work. It simply pushes notification but doesn’t play the sound.
I also don’t like the fact that hands cover digits instead of ending inside of the dial ring.
Bottom line—the app needs a few minor, but very important fixes to be worth its price.

Great App
Minimal👌
Home bar at bottom of screen ruins the app
Great app, but.........Why have a bright home bar at the bottom of the screen which you can’t remove or dim? Lights up the room at night. Please fix this ASAP
Very nice but
Can you please rid the white line that represents the home button at the bottom of X series phones
Used to be great, now it’s broken
This has been my perfect, reliable alarm clock for years. It started breaking sometime last summer or fall. I think it must have been iOS 11. Going off in the PM but not in the AM, giving a tiny bleat and then stopping without snoozing but then going off that night interminably. Now with iOS 12 and the bigger phones it doesn’t go off at all. I guess they’re not updating it because they don’t respond to email. Huge disappointment because there’s nothing else that looks like a simple classic alarm clock and that has a good dimming switch.

Alarm should have am/pm setting or a 24hr clock.
Great. Needs one fix
Love the app. Needs to just add one thing. On the iPhone X, please hide the home bar when the app is open. Can’t use this in a dark room because the bar is always there and bright. Also you should add new clock faces. I would even pay for some “packs” of faces. Add the home bar thing and you got 5 stars from me though.

Music no longer works
This was my go to alarm app for years, but the music feature no longer works. When you go to select a playlist (or album or artist), you just get an arrow that takes you to individual songs in that playlist, and you can only pick one song. Who wants to hear the same song over and over? I love the simplicity of the interface, but if it can’t play a random song from a playlist, it’s no longer useful for me. What a shame.

Good but can be better!
Like the simplicity and ease of use. However setting the alarm needle to correct time is not quite easy as needle jumps back and forth; needle will always be a few minutes ahead or behind the exact time.
Not Perfect, But VERY Close
I've used this app, Alarm Clock, for a couple of years. While I'm not really "old school", there's something satisfying to me about the analog look. There are 3 small things I'd like to see changed: (1) when I touch the screen to change the alarm time, the alarm pointer jumps back a couple of hours; (2) the alarm volume setting may work perfectly for an actual alarm, but it seems to have little or no impact on the volume of music used as an alarm (I'd love to be able to set a sequence of multiple songs…); (3) I dim the screen as much as the app allows, yet, if a notification comes in (Apple really needs to fix that so it doesn't happen), the screen brightens and stays bright. That being said, those are minor things and I really like the app!

Nice
A truly simple, clean design with no complex, never used options. I like it.
