I cant even allow its notifications since when i go to the notifications section, the app isn’t even there. So disappointed. This app was my saviour for years now. You better find a way to make it work with iOS again 😿 ### 3/5 — Really fun but *2024-10-05* not matching it with “do not disturb” feature makes it very problematic. I want to wake to the alarm, not to messages ### 4/5 — Warning… *2024-05-11, version 2.1* To save you all from wasting your precious time, there is no reward for level 100. It sends you to the ‘Trolololol’ video on Youtube. Otherwise great app, if extremely buggy and unpolished. ### 4/5 — Almost… *2023-05-17, version 2.1* Good implementation of the idea, but I wish for the ability to do the following two things: 1. Set the alarm for a time that falls outside of the 5 or 15-minute increments by which I can adjust the time. 2. I wish Carrot would talk to me as the alarm is going off to repeatedly announce the current time, intermittently switching between the time and alarm tone itself, so that in my sleepy haze I could be more aware of what time it was in the moment. Knowing the time reduces the chances of me hitting snooze, going back to bed, and losing my job from having had accidentally overslept. ### 4/5 — Please update for Iphone X and up support. *2022-10-19, version 2.1* I LOVE the app, but my one problem with it, is it feels a little outdated. With the new iPhones, the app doesn’t fit to the screen, which leaves these big clunky black boarders in the app. I would love to see this app refreshed and updated because it is GOLDEN, and I love it, just outdated. ### 2/5 — funktioniert nicht *2022-06-20* kreative Idee, aber leider funktioniert z.B. pinch my eye nicht, somit kann man den Wecker nicht ausschalten ### 2/5 — Bad alarm clock, good comedian *2022-04-30, version 2.1* I love Carrot’s other apps so I tried this one. This is a barely functional alarm clock that says funny things and thinks it’s a game (You have to earn points to unlock practical functions). If that’s your thing, get it. Personally I want an alarm that lets you set multiple alarms, adjust settings as to how it goes off and what sound plays, etc. apparently this does SOME of those things if you earn it. I don’t have time for that. ### 5/5 — Very Entertaining *2022-04-26, version 2.1* This is a creative App and funny to interact with. Just wish the color selection and fonts were more reader friendly for those of us who can’t see without our glasses in the mornings. I struggle to read the small light font and get yelled at for getting it wrong! 😂 Fun way to wake up. ### 5/5 — It works!! … and is fun. *2022-01-23, version 2.1* Sure gets the brain to “stimulated” status, and cuts through the morning fogginess. I find myself looking forward to my alarm going off. ### 5/5 — I love carrot! *2022-01-22, version 2.1* Works well with voiceover as well! ### 5/5 — Works well *2021-11-11, version 2.1* So funny. And it won’t let you oversleep! ### 3/5 — Okay *2021-05-22, version 2.1* I love this app, it has funny notifications and asks you to do chores as you wake up. What I don’t like is having to deal with black borders in the top of the screen, also how tapping the ocular sensor doesn’t do much and always resets and how it doesn’t start to complain if you don’t answer the notifications like it shows in the picture. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rude or inappropriate commentary *2026-04-29, version 2.1* This app idid not impress me. I deleted it after I purchased it due to how inappropriate it is. I find nothing funny about it. ### 1/5 — READ BEFORE DOWNLOAD *2025-04-17, version 2.1* Okay let’s get to the point. I’m rating this 5 stars so people can see. Whenever it wakes you up, the volume turns up. it gets to the point where you try to turn the volume down but it goes up. IT BYPASSES DO NOT DISTURB!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-07-29, version 2.1* Woke up to 68 notifications from this app an hour after it stopped ringing. Safe to say, it was not successful. ### 1/5 — iPad doesn’t work if screen has locked! *2024-05-28, version 2.1* Nice idea, but doesn’t work on my iPad. Leave it onscreen, wake up with a string of silent text notifications on the lock screen! ### 1/5 — тЫпЫчнЫй 🇺🇸КОС *2023-10-03, version 2.1* Этот долб@Ёб только с утра настроение портит! Просыпаешься на нервах 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — NEEDS AN UPDATE!! NOT WORTH $3 *2023-08-11, version 2.1* It’s been SEVEN (7) YEARS since the last update…. It states you can use in silent mode- tested it out and it vibrates once per notification. Even when sound is on it dings for a second then stops- it’s not continuous or annoying until you open the app. There’s no chance it will wake you if you’re a hard sleeper like myself… VERY DISAPPOINTED ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-05-23, version 2.1* This app only works if you have it open. I don’t have a charger where I sleep and the alarm has not gone off a single time. Wish I hadn’t bought this. ### 1/5 — Terrible UI *2021-07-01, version 2.1* Love all the Carrot apps except this one. Even on most basic alarms you can enter in the time you want using your keyboard EXCEPT for this one. This only has 1 alarm and you have to scroll to the time and even the scrolling UI is wonky so I gave up and deleted this app. ### 1/5 — Needs an update *2021-03-11, version 2.1* I feel like the developers have given up on this app! I can’t change any settings. Wish I would not have paid for this!!!! ### 1/5 — Crashing *2021-02-18, version 2.1* It crashes before I could even open it, could I possibly get a refund? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Funny effective *2026-01-16, version 2.1* You can’t sleep through this one great alarm with a sense of humour. ### 5/5 — A must get *2025-12-06, version 2.1* I have used many alarm clocks and THIS one is a must! The steps you have to do to turn the alarm off is fricken hilarious and definitely wakes you up enough to get out of bed!!! So much funnnn. The banter is what makes it so worth having. You look forward to using your alarm, BELIEVE ME! ### 5/5 — More carrot apps needed *2025-11-20, version 2.1* We need a carrot personal assistant ai app. The carrot alarm is best alarm clock ever. ### 5/5 — Best way to wake up ever! *2024-10-16, version 2.1* Carrot, sigh, after all these years. Still the best way to wake up. Forever your devoted human. ### 5/5 — Carrot AI App *2024-03-15, version 2.1* Wonderful, easy to use and lots of fun!! I highly recommend it’ll keep you on your toes! ### 5/5 — Super app for iPhone *2023-10-01, version 2.1* CARROT (I should say Grailr) has done it again! Everyone needs an alarm clock and this one is guaranteed to send meatbags into shock (or at least palpitations). ### 5/5 — Orphan Annie Alarm App *2022-12-06, version 2.1* No updates in 7 years? Neglected app needs rework to align with latest large screen iPhones. Developers asleep at the wheel. App should bid adieu to the App Store. 🤬 ### 5/5 — I want my records back *2022-11-05, version 2.1* CARROT still awesome (she coerced me to say that). Haven't had any of the problems other users are reporting. Still works as expected on latest IOS update. Pro tip: don't hit snooze. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-08-10, version 2.1* The evil robot lady is hurting my feelings if I don’t wake up on time. It’s exactly what I needed. ### 5/5 — Best alarm ever. I love you Carrot! *2022-06-22, version 2.1* I have all carrot apps weather and Aron clock are my tops. I love to sleep and I love how carrot wakes you up talking with cool techno music then do chores. One thing I ask is to make the wake up music louder so I don’t lose points. I’m a deep sleeper due to medication. Other then that this app is fire and on point. Love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
