アプリ使用開始時の音声中断について

値段の割に良いアプリだと思います。日々活用させてもらっています。
一点改善して欲しいのが、アプリを開いた際に他で使用している動画や音楽アプリの再生が止まってしまうことです。小さなことですが、ややストレスです。
また、可能であれば通知メッセージでアラームを止めることができると、画面を開いてタップをしてという手順を踏まなくてよいのでありがたいです。
色々書きましたが、日々活用させてもらっています。ありがとうございました。

Wakes me up every day

Don’t know why but this is the only alarm I can use to wake up to. I initially got it because I wanted to take naps and wake up with the alarm coming from my headphones like the apps intention. Now I use this app every single night I sleep without headphones. For some reason the ship bell noise wakes me up every time and I can stay up. I’ve always had problems with waking up in the morning ever since I can remember but this app solves it. It’s not much different than other alarm apps but it works! I also feel like the apple alarm app is unreliable because I swear I’ve set so many alarms and they just don’t go off or I sleep through them. Although you have to have your phone screen on to use this app and it doesn’t have a clock wake up time it doesn’t matter. Just dim your phone MAKE SURE YOU DON’T TURN IT OFF and turn your volume all the way up. You’ll wake up every time. For that sole reason I give this app 5/5 based on my personal experience. Never get this app removed from the App Store please!

Follow up, even with the new redesign I use this app every single night. Although I know you can now turn off your phone screen I do not cause of habit. Awesome and probably my most used app for years! Appreciate you developer!!

Scam

This app is a scam. They charged me 0.99 out of nowhere. I never signed up to buy anything

I don’t recommend

This would be great except the second you close the app, it stops the time. In order for this to work, you have to leave the app open. I can’t trust that it will wake me up so I deleted it.

Not an alarm app - it’s a timer

There is not a feature to set an alarm. Want to wake up at 6AM? You will need to calculate the time between now and 6AM and set a TIMER because you will not have the option to set an ALARM.

Does what it's meant for

App is almost perfect for my workouts in a quiet gym. Alarm sounds just in the connected AirPods. Would be nice if one could start and stop the timer and alarm by clicking the AirPods buttons.

Misleading photo and title - not an alarm

This is a timer app. The alarm symbol in the photo is not editable. You can only select a duration. Unless you’d like to do math right before heading to bed and nothing disturbs you on the way to sleep, this doesn’t solve the problem it’s attempting to. Stefan, perhaps you can actually make the alarm’s time itself editable?

Keeps resetting?

I left the app open as directed but when the phone went to sleep the timer would reset

Response from developer

Hi jjackson60, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We're happy to let you know that this issue has been fixed in version 2.0.0. AlarmBud can now run in the background and play the alarm sound even if the app isn’t left open. Just make sure your phone's volume is high enough to hear the alarm.  Happy napping!

Läuft nicht im Hintergrund weiter

Die App ist an sich gut gedacht. Die Auswahl an Klingeltönen könnte etwas größer sein. Doch dadurch das der Wecker nicht im Hintergrund weiterläuft macht sie für mich unbrauchbar. Damit alles funktioniert muss die App geöffnet und das Handy entsperrt sein. Ich kann sie so nicht benutzen.

Response from developer

Hallo Finnk8, Danke für Ihre Bewertung. Wir freuen uns, Ihnen mitteilen zu können, dass AlarmBud Version 2.0.0 jetzt Hintergrundfunktionen unterstützt. Stellen Sie einfach sicher, dass die Lautstärke Ihres Telefons hoch ist, damit Sie den Alarm hören können. Viel Spaß beim Nickerchen!

Works only if app open

The app works but it has to be open in order for the timer to work. I want to be working in other apps as the timers going on in background. So this does not help me.

Response from developer

Hi TGreen111, Thanks for the feedback. We're happy to let you know that this issue has been fixed in version 2.0.0. AlarmBud can now be used in the background while you use other apps or while your phone is locked. It's perfect for timing your work at the library or your workout at the gym. Just make sure your phone's volume is up. Happy napping!

It’s cool

It works as intended and has a vibration option which is cool. Cause I have to feel something in order to wake up properly

Great app

Super helpful - especially when on planes or other public places. I wish Apple would integrate into their timer app!

Awesome app!

Perfect for students or anyone that takes power naps in quiet places. Love it!

So helpful

This app is so helpful. I can work and study and time myself without having to worry about disturbing others!
