### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-05-07*

Not what I thought it was going to be so I tried to delete my account. It won’t let you! I tried multiple times all with the same error message. I even emailed them and no reply. Then, of course I get charged $43. Absolute scam and I will be fighting the charge to my account.

**Developer response:** The app is not a scam. It does what it claims and you are free to start or end the premium subscription whenever you want. You were confused about what the delete account button does. It is not there to end your subscription. The “Manage Premium” button in the app tells you that subscriptions are managed via the settings app, as Apple requires. 

Also the delete account button only works if you actually made an account for use with sleep tracking. If you never did that then you don’t actually have an account to delete, hence the error.

### 5/5 — Actually helps me get out of bed

*2025-05-06*

This app makes you do puzzles or little tasks to turn off the alarm, and the motivational speeches playing in the background weirdly work. I end up feeling more awake and even a little inspired. The sleep tracking and habit stuff is a nice bonus too.

### 5/5 — WHOS GONNA CARRY THE BOATS AND THE LOGS

*2025-05-06*

This app is amazing and helps me get ready and lock on in the morning.

### 5/5 — Bad

*2025-05-02*

I downloaded it thinking it sounds like a good idea but it turns out the alarm never go off. So they do not work. I signed up for a free week but I forgot about it since it DOES NOT WORK. And I forgot to cancel my subscription before they charged me for a whole year. Do not recommend.

**Developer response:** I have tested the app thoroughly and the alarm always works so I am unsure why it didn’t work for you. It won’t work if you hard-close the app, or have another app open playing sleep sounds, or if you have certain focus settings set on your phone, or if the alarm is disabled. Best practice to ensure the alarm fires is to open the app right before you go to sleep, and then not open any other apps which may potentially be interfering with the alarm.

I’m sorry you had a bad experience. If the above recommendations still don’t work for you please let us know and I will look into potential edge cases I may have missed.
