The first is whenever you open the widget whatever audio you have on turns off … not just muted but actually off as in you have to actually go back in to start the audio again. The biggest issue is trying to turn the alarm off. The program sends umpteen messages that just hang there but don’t allow the user to get into the app to get the stop button so you have to exit your other program find the widget and open it up to get the stop prompt you can click on. That only stops the current snooze alarm. It keeps sending them about 30% of the time; so often I now also turn the alarm toggle off and on. Clunky. But better paying for this than trying to use the myriad of other apps I tried. ### 3/5 — Unsure how to set web music as alarm sound *2024-06-05, version 1.7* When I click on "choose a song from web", it does not have a button anywhere to set the song as the alarm sound. I can only go back to the alarm settings and it doesn't save the song that I chose on the built-in browser. Instead it picks the most recently selected ringtone. Not sure if the Youtube aspect is a premium feature but if not, is there a way to fix this? ### 2/5 — Fine but stopped working *2023-12-14, version 1.7* This alarm worked great for the first maybe 6 months, and then it stopped working. Also the only website that worked to get music from for the alarm was YouTube, Spotify didn’t work and no other websites worked either. Very disappointing since it’s a paid app to have it fail so soon. ### 2/5 — Needs basic updates to make a simple great app *2023-09-22, version 1.7* I was looking for a widget with multiple alarms for one day to keep track of my meetings on days I moderate a few meetings and keep my outlook closed. The regular iphone alarm settings doesn’t have an alarm widget. This app is super cute and easy if you need a widget for one or two alarms. I had thought it was exactly what I was looking for but this app is missing 2 basic functions, it doesn’t distinguish between am or pm vs the 24hrs and doesn’t allow to repeat on a cadence of every other week, once a month or on a specific day such if only on the 3rd Monday of the month. Please update ### 2/5 — Useless app *2023-05-28, version 1.7* Bait and switch. Keep trying to get you to sign up! ### 1/5 — Don’t waist money *2023-01-30, version 1.7* Not a widget doesn’t even have pm or am on alarm ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work if phone is on silent. *2023-01-24, version 1.7* If you have the silent mode toggled on your iPhone, the alarm will only lightly vibrate and make no sound. (I have slept through it several times!) There’s also no way to dismiss the alarm until you use Face ID and unlock the phone which has been annoying. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with screen locked *2022-12-14* The only way that it works is if you have the app open and don’t lock the screen. So if you want it to wake you up you’ll need to have your phone screen on and unlocked all night ### 4/5 — Great! *2022-09-12, version 1.7* Perfect for what I wanted, really helpful but Spotify didn’t work, so had to use YouTube. ### 3/5 — It’s ok but I wish there was more alarms *2022-07-29, version 1.7* When u don’t get the premium ( which to me is a waste of money) they only let two alarms and those are permanent and you can’t change it. ### 1/5 — Use to work.. *2022-03-31, version 1.7* But..Now it does it just stopped all of a sudden ### 2/5 — I thought I could set an alarm from the widget *2022-02-11, version 1.7* But you can’t ### 1/5 — Only works if App is Open *2022-01-05, version 1.7* Don’t waste your money. It’s broken ### 1/5 — Big problem *2022-01-05, version 1.7* Have a auction for a US clock ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No 12 hr only 24 hr. *2025-04-15, version 1.7* Doesn’t have 12 hr. Only 24 hr. Waste of money. I also have trouble putting songs of YouTube as alarm. ### 1/5 — I can’t add a song from web *2024-06-05, version 1.7* I have paid the amount required, but I can’t add a song from web. I can’t chose “Pick song”. iOS system. Could you help me, please? ### 1/5 — Music selection function doesn’t work *2024-03-10, version 1.7* I purchased this app because I want to wake up to music. When in the alarm setting screen, it doesn’t allow for me to deselect the default tone or add the music that I’ve searched for in the ‘choose a song from the web’ bar. Help?? ### 1/5 — Music doesn’t play *2024-02-26, version 1.7* The notification comes up but music doesn’t play until I actually open the app, no good if I need to wake up ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-02-01, version 1.7* Doesn’t work for YouTube ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY. *2023-11-30, version 1.7* This app only has the time with like the hours being 0-24. I have no idea how to change it because I don’t use that time. You also can’t change the PM or AM. It doesn’t even have an option. Horrible. Waste of time. DO NOT BUY. ### 1/5 — To many advertisement for premium! *2023-09-22, version 1.7* To many premium adds ### 1/5 — Junk *2023-09-17, version 1.7* Horrible no choices for musics or ringtones Don’t wast your time or money ### 1/5 — Barely Works *2023-04-29, version 1.7* I paid $4.99 for the full premium and it does not work. I cannot choose between am/pm as shown in photos nor can I add the widget. There are NO options for settings. Lost my money on this thing. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY- this is a bogus company *2023-01-31, version 1.7* Is this helpful as a morning wake up alarm? No. This app does not work as advertised. Your alarm will not sound until you tap on a regular phone notification, that then takes you to the app and begins to ring. This notification is nearly silent- and comes with a random Shakespeare quote. This issue was not explained on their App’s page or anywhere in the Apple App Store. I have the latest iPhone (2023). I have given this app all permissions. I have set up the widget on my Home Screen. I removed my phone Lock Screen. Still no luck. You are served a notification that you have to tap on, and only then will the alarm ring. Don’t miss the quiet notification! I have requested my money back after not receiving any support from the “email address” provided to contact this company. Bogus. Predatory. DO NOT BUY. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this! *2024-02-22, version 1.7* I love this so much. I have been waking up to my favorite songs every day. It’s amazing. Get this app! ### 5/5 — So slay *2022-12-02, version 1.7* This app is so slay. I like waking up Never Gonna Give You up. This app is like the best for waking up because it’s an alarm. ### 5/5 — Just one suggestion:D *2022-10-31, version 1.7* Love it!! Exactly what I was looking for!! My only suggestion/request would be a slider for alarm volume, so different alarms could be different volumes. But like I said, love it!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-03-31, version 1.7* Found out about this app a few days ago! I love the different alarm sounds they have and the option where you can pick a song from YouTube as your alarm! ### 5/5 — App *2021-04-30, version 1.7* It is grate app but just needs to include if it’s AM vs PM ### 5/5 — Hi *2021-02-12, version 1.7* Hi can u add options to change to 12 HR, cause I'm used to 12 HR. Thank you ### 5/5 — Good application *2020-10-16, version 1.0* Suggestion: _Optional to connect through google calendar _The design should be more eye-catching. Gradient is fine but more cute and cheerful is good too. _ Should have a mascot ai for a fun interaction ### 5/5 — Xài ổn. Giao diện mới mẻ *2020-10-15, version 1.0* Xài thấy ổn. Giao diện mới mẻ. Mong ad up thêm nhiều tính năng. Mình thích màu xanh dương của đồng hồ ### 4/5 — App Problem *2023-01-14, version 1.7* I purchased the Premium within the App's interface. When trying to open the App, it doesn't. The widget is also "blacked-out." Worked briefly. Loved it. Waiting for the update. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Alarm widget *2022-09-19, version 1.7* Good app, however, add Lock Screen widget for iOS 16. In addition, the alarm should work even if iPhone is on silent like native alarm app. At the moment it does not --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
