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!

works but crashes ALL the time

the app works as intended and is a great alarm app without all the fluff of others - but it seems to crash multiple times every day and this means the alarm ultimately doesn’t end up ringing.

very helpful!

i used to have my alarm on my dresser, so i had to get out of bed to turn it off, but i always turned around and get back in. but with my new app, i set the barcode to fruit in my fridge, which is on another floor and it helps me to not get back into my bed! there’s also an alternate way to turn off the alarm and it makes you type in this like 12 digit code while the background flashes red and white and the numbers move around, it also works pretty well. i’m not married, but it also has a “don’t wake spouse” button which allows you to silence the alarm for a few seconds as you leave the room i think! i would recommend this app!

Too easy to override

I initially liked this app. I had a weekday alarm and a weekend alarm (different times). However, although the override is slightly annoying, I soon pretty much remembered the barcode number to be able to type it in easily and turn off the alarm whilst still half-asleep in bed, instead of going downstairs to scan the barcode. Unfortunately I found the override too easy and you cannot turn this off on the free version.

Object scan

My only thing is, I want to be able to have it shuffle through things that stay in the bathroom, and downstairs and it randomly instead of it being the same object over and over. overall, it’s a really good app and you do not need to pay..

How do you scan a barcode

You must first scan a barcode to even set the alarm. I can't figure out how to open the camera in app to scan one and the app offers no assistance

Stop with early feedback

It is stupid to request feedback before the app has had chance to be properly used. Feedback should only be requested after a few uses at the very least.

I’ll keep trying it, but….

Literally the day that I bought it and paid for the premium ad-free version, it just started crashing non-stop. So much so that it didn’t go off this morning and I overslept. Kinda defeated the purpose. I’m going to keep trying and see if it gets any better. But and ominous start nonetheless.

Crashes and spyware

Crashed 10 times a day and pinged facebook sdk 100 times a day

Barcode recognition

Can’t scan in barcode

THIS IS GREAT

I don't usually write reviews but this one I have to, IT IS GREAT. I LOVE how the second I came it didn't throw ads and premium plans on me, which is a struggle, almost every other alarm app will try to get your money on everything, this one doesn't yet seem to be too much that way I appreciate that I can still use it. It also has so many free options to choose from for alarms, some of the names of Alarms and design I found funny but they are also usefull. The barcode idea I also love, there are other multiple things you get from the app like the full screen timer which I was just searching for so its nice to have the whole pack together. There are also multiple buttons that don't have to be there but they are AND THERE GREAT, like the 'don't wake up my spouse', there just little details that are created with care and I appreciate all of this very much.

A life saver

I struggle really badly with getting out of bed and mentally it takes a toll. This has been great, it’s completely free and the sound is so annoying it makes me jump out of bed in a morning. I attached a barcode to the hand soap in my bathroom for ease. I couldn’t recommend this enough.

WORKS AND IS FREE

Works great, I used a random barcode from a box and I keep it on my fridge which is downstairs and across the house from me so I HAVE to get up, I love that there is a “plan b” alarm which is just typing the barcode numbers but the numbers bounce around the screen and flash color so it’s a lot harder to do so it still wakes you up.

I also love the locked alarm feature, as I do find myself changing the alarm last minute to catch extra Zs, I also also love the don’t wake my spouse feature, which lets you snooze it momentarily so you don’t wake up the rest of the house. I LOVE THIS APP, and most importantly, it’s F R E E

All the other apps cost a subscription fee and it’s just awful

Great

It really helps me get out of bed in the morning

Works but could be better

I’m awake but frustrated.

If it’s not the last app you used it doesn’t pop to the foreground, you have to hunt for it. The don’t wake my spouse button is tiny and blue text on dark background. There is no way I could’ve seen that before I had my glasses on.

The barcode scanning is not as good as native qr scanning and takes some practice to get it at the right distance for because it doesn’t zoom.

I thought I knew how it worked after my test run the night before but it was certainly a rude awakening.

Now that I know how it works I think next time will go better

The best alarm for deep sleeper

I struggled with hearing alarms for years and this is THE ONLY alarm that I can always hear and works for me every time. Thank you for saving my life 🙏🏼

Constant crashing!

This app *was* great, it’s the first alarm app that actually forces me out of bed, so I don’t just complete a math question and fall back asleep like some others. But it’s so annoying that I have to reopen the app every ten minutes because of it crashing, and asking me to click on the notification to turn on backup mode (which is the thing that crashes) now it’s not going off when I need it to and I’m missing the alarm. It’s not a very complicated app, and it already has a hard time scanning the barcode quickly, so it’s frustrating that I can’t even rely on it to function. I will change my review when this is fixed.
Edit: somehow this app broke even further and took longer and longer to even scan the barcode until it just stopped recognizing it! The song wouldn’t stop so now I’ve had to delete the app! Seriously, it’s not a complicated app. Get this fixed if you want anyone to use it!
