### 1/5 — Pick a Song not working

*2024-04-18*

When I allowed access to my Apple Music App it only showed Favorites Playlist with two songs. I added the song I wanted to Favorites Playlist deleting all others but it will not appear there. So I clicked your library and found my other playlist. I completely deleted the Breaking Dawn app, added the song I want to choose to my other playlist. I reinstalled the app and searched my playlist again but when it came up it did not show the added song. How can I have deleted the app and all its data yet it still finds the prior version of the playlist before I added the song. This is super fire because I really want to use this app with a specific song (with quite sounds of nature) versus a rock song from my playlist or an actual alarm sound.

**Developer response:** Only songs that have been downloaded to the device are displayed. Please try downloading the song. Maybe I didn't explain it well enough. Sorry.

### 4/5 — 普通に使えています。

*2022-12-12, version 1.3*

アプリ自体を完全に閉じた状態でもアラームなりました。（ときどき裏でアプリを開いておかないと機能しない残念なものがあり心配していました。）ありがとうございます。
ちなみに、アプリアイコンに表示される通知件数はアラームの時刻ですね？　日の出と日の入りとふたつ設定したのですが、常に最初の時刻が表示されるのでしょうか。次のアラームの時刻を表示してもらえるとより良いと思いました。

### 5/5 — Very good, but...

*2022-08-28*

I use the app daily, morning and afternoon, and it is perfect. Except that after sunset it uses the next day information for the current day alarms. Please keep the current day info until midnight. Thanx

### 2/5 — アイコンの通知が消えない

*2022-02-15, version 1.3*

3日で通知件数1600ってなんやねん‼️

### 4/5 — 梵鐘の音を！

*2022-02-04, version 1.3*

とてもいいです。
是非とも梵鐘の音を追加してください。

### 5/5 — Circadian Rhythm Cure

*2021-09-18*

I am trying to align my daily schedule with the sun in order to maximize energy. This app is exactly what I was looking for.

**Developer response:** I'm glad that I could help you out. 
Thank you for your review.
