## What is Delay Alarm?

***On Sale For a Limited Time***

Delay Alarm consistently checks your school's status while you sleep! If your school reports a two hour delay, your alarm will be pushed back 2 hours. If your school cancels, your alarm will be terminated entirely.

This means no more waking up just to go back to sleep! Delay Alarm will automatically adjust your alarm time for you.

FEATURES:

Delay Alarm will work on either an iPad or an iPhone! 

We have integrated support for thousands of Private, Prep, and Public schools across the areas of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Boston, Massachusetts! Not sure if your school is supported? Visit www.delayalarm.xyz

We have plans to quickly expand and add support for other major cities in the near future.

Have a question/want to request support for your city? Send an email to the Head Developer at jakedmurphy1@gmail.com

TUTORIAL:

After setting your alarm, place the device on a flat surface with the screen facing down.

Do not turn the device off, leave running all night with the charger connected. 

You can exit out of the app, as long as you go back into it before bed and keep the device turned on. The alarm will remain set.

### 4/5 — Good idea

*2019-02-13*

Brilliant idea but the downside is having your phone on all night

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-01-06*

So helpful for me! I don't have to worry about waking up and hearing we have a 2 hour delay! But with this app you don't have to wake up early!!

### 1/5 — Awful app.

*2017-12-22*

Very poor app. It's a decent idea, but the user interface is trash, and the amount of places it supports is so small that it's basically irrelevant. 
Downloading this app is a waste of time.

### 4/5 — Great Idea...

*2017-12-15*

But needs more service however. More cites should be included from Maine to Florida. This is great, but needs more work!

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2017-12-15*

Great so I don’t have to wake up for no reason
