It gets the job done

The app has been super helpful to me. I have been soooo much better about getting ready for the day with this app. The problem I have is it crashing. If it crashes and your phone is on silent, it won’t go off. And it crashes a lot. If you open the app right before you sleep you can turn background mode on. I just don’t understand why it’s not always on. I don’t want to have to tell it every day to turn background mode on. So it’s kind of an annoying app, but it has definitely made my life better. So I guess I can live with it.

Doesn’t work

This app doesn’t work. I set an alarm, programmed a bar code, turned on the alarm and allowed notifications. It didn’t wake me up the next morning! When I finally awoke, I checked the app to see what happened, and only when I opened the app did the alarm go off. So I overslept.

Great for free

This is a girly great app and it works as expected most of the time you gotta remember to kind of leave it on as an active app before you go to sleep I couldn’t imagine paying just to have the ads removed. It should have more functionality to be a paid app.

Doesn’t work

Didn’t go off in the morning, waited until 10 hours later when I was nowhere near the barcode set to switch it off!

FAQ

What does the Barcode Alarm Clock app do?

This app is designed to be a loud and effective alarm clock for heavy sleepers. It uses a unique barcode scanning feature to ensure users get out of bed to turn off the alarm, preventing them from snoozing or ignoring it.

How does the barcode scan feature work?

To disable the alarm, you must scan the barcode of a predetermined item, such as your toothpaste. This action forces you to physically get out of bed and interact with an object, making it much harder to fall back asleep.

Is this app free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it does offer in-app purchases. These purchases likely unlock additional features or customization options beyond the core functionality.

What kind of alarms does it offer?

It features procedurally generated and unpredictable ringtones that are designed to be blaringly loud, preventing auditory adaptation. You can also mix these with your own music. The app supports multiple and repeating alarms, with a lock feature to make them impossible to cancel or mute.

Who is this app best suited for?

This app is ideal for individuals who are heavy sleepers, frequently oversleep, or struggle with waking up on time. It's also useful for those who need a highly disruptive alarm to ensure they start their day promptly.
