What's New in Awaken

7.1

• Per-alarm volume: each alarm can now have its own Custom Volume instead of the shared Alarm Volume — handy when different playlists need different levels. Alarms without a custom volume keep using the global setting.

A Classic iPhone App

So glad the developers have revived this classic iPhone clock / alarm app. It is very customizable and offers some unique looks. They were doing "Standby Mode" before Apple ever did!

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind review! Let us know if you have any feature suggestions. We have many new features planned.

It was decent

Used this app daily and worked great for the last few years. It just updated and now it’s terrible. It doesn’t work trying to play music now. Only the backup app alarm sounds work. Before the update I could dim the clock to barely on note it auto dims and barely comes off of bright even when the phone screen is dimmed all the way down. I want the old version back.

Response from developer

Hi, and thank you for being a longtime user - I'm really sorry the latest update let you down. This isn't the experience I want for you, and I'd like to get both issues sorted out. Music not playing: It would help me a lot to know: are you using Apple Music or a local/downloaded track, and does the music play when you preview it in the alarm editor? (It would be great if you could send a screenshot of your alarm settings to help@embraceware.com). Clock dimming: I also hear you on the dimming. The new auto-dim isn't going as low as the old manual setting did, and that's a real regression for nighttime use. I'm adding back proper low-end brightness control so you can take the clock down to "barely on" like before. If you're open to it, please email me at help@embraceware.com - I can help right away and make sure your specific setup is covered in the next release. Fixes for both of these are already in progress, and I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to flag them rather than just walking away. I want to earn back that daily-use trust.

Nicely done!

The new clock styles are awesome.
