User reviews

So quiet

It’s great apart from quite important feature, the alarm noises are quiet and you can’t hear them (despite the phone being on full
Volume). Deleted after five mins sadly.

Easy to use - almost good.

Doesn’t have as many options as some alarm apps eg you can’t decide the shape of the alarm zone. Does not send an alarm to an Apple Watch, SMS, email or other device. To use this while away from the boat and get notifications if you drag, you have to have two internet connected devices on the same Apple ID.

Also I wish they would say what the in-app purchase is. It turns out you have to pay $8.50 (in Canada) to use it at all after the first 3 days.

Some interface elements appear in German.
