## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-01-08, version 1.0.1*

Has no option to set sunrise length.
Drains battery from 86 to 20 % in 6 hours.
Size of app grew to 1.5 Gb at first use.

### 1/5 — Didn't do dick

*2015-06-23, version 1.0.1*

Deleted this pos

### 1/5 — Won't open

*2014-12-28, version 1.0.1*

Won't open,would love to use it since I love my battery operated, analog dawn simulator alarm clock

### 2/5 — Zero options

*2014-10-29, version 1.0.1*

Needs options like how long till sun is fully risen, and needs to be a gradual increase in light, you can't chose different sounds, and iAd makes it too bright to sleep with it on

### 3/5 — useless for now, has potential

*2014-12-08, version 1.0.1*

I left the app on and active, but it did not light up the screen on my phone or iPad because my auto screen lock kicked in. I heard my other alarms, and the screen went bright when i turned those on. I don’t want to have to manually turn screen lock off because i’ll forget to turn it back on.  
I did like how bright my iPad got, the phone’s screen is just not big enough to make much difference
