Better than expected

SOLID

Best alarm app

This is the most you could ask for an alarm app, with the BEST features. If you add more and more features like points and daily activities, then you would greatly get attentions from many morning people. W Doodlewake๐Ÿ”ฅ

Response from developer

This means a lot, thank you! Love the points and daily activities ideas, and that direction is very much on the roadmap. Big update in the works too with a refreshed UI and native iPhone alarm support. More to come ๐Ÿ‘€

Great app!

Works well! UI is very good!

Response from developer

Thank you and glad you're enjoying Doodlewake!

Very good

Love it this is the app that will get you up

Response from developer

Cheers to better mornings!

Shi sucks

Horrible just horrible

Alarm notified but no action

I was excited to find an app with the options available to set an alarm and really need to do something to stop it. So I set one up. It went off 1) not with the sound I set it up with 2) when it went off there was no action ie math that I initially set it up with. It kept taking me to the alarm set up screen. Anyhow uninstalled. Good idea. Just missed the mark

Sorry to hear the alarm didnโ€™t work as expected. We've just released an update that addresses this exact bug! Thank you for your patience and apologies for the troubles.

BUG.

When I set my timer to the current time, the app just goes black, then I reopen the app then it opens the alarm. Normal right? No. I have 1441 minutes. No kidding. I do the math questions, and when Iโ€™m finished, I just popped up with a black screen. When I reopen it, it sounds the alarm AGAIN! Devs please

Bad app I do not recommend downloading

It does not work and it does not look good.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear the app didnโ€™t work for you. If you can share what specifically wasnโ€™t working, I would be happy to fix the issue. Also, a UI update is also in the works for the next release. Edit: We've just released an update improving alarm reliability and fixed several bugs.

Almost Works!

The concept is amazing, I was looking for a Barcode Scanner Alarm and this is the best designed one I could find. Problem is, last night it only rang for 4 minutes and then stopped. It wasn't loud or long enough to wake up my son, and why did it stop ringing? I wish I could set it to not stop ringing until the task is done!

Weโ€™re sorry to hear your son's alarm stopped ringing early. To help prevent this in the future, weโ€™ve put together an Alarm Optimization Guide with steps to maximize reliability as the alarm should continue ringing until the task is done. We hope this helps, and appreciate your feedback! https://doodlewake.com/#ios-optimization

Amazing work bro

You did great man, Love the App

Smart, Simple, and Seriously Effective!

Clean UI, effective features compared to the traditional apps out there. Helps me get out of bed without the frustration of endless snoozing.

I love the app

This app is so cute and very unique. The ringtones are the best too! ๐ŸŒธ

Good with one main bug

It works reliably, but occasionally(itโ€™s very rarely, only happened to me like twice), the alarm wonโ€™t go off when scheduled and will go off randomly during the day. Last time this happened to me it was while I was walking through school between classes, and if it happened a couple of minutes earlier it would have been during a test when I didnโ€™t have access to my phone. It this issue could be fixed it would pretty much be perfect. Thanks!

Thank you for your feedback and we will look into this issue!

Great UI and idea

Simple and intuitive UI, snappy performance, and an overall great idea. Not much to say here.

Buggy

Worked well for a week. Now it either goes off two hours late, doesnโ€™t come up with the barcode scanner, uses the wrong sound or doesnโ€™t go off at all.

Great Alarm

Iโ€™ve followed this devs journey on YouTube and itโ€™s been great to see! He is super accessible especially on YouTube and cares a lot about this app! He is constantly adding new features but since itโ€™s just him sometimes it can take time! But it makes sense! I love the new features of the streaks, new math problems (my favorite way to wake up lol) and new sounds! Itโ€™s been great! Keep up the amazing work! - Kaleb

Bad alarm

The concept is good but it just sometimes would not ring

It works

UPDATE: still love this app. So much so that I went to review it again thinking I hadnโ€™t already reviewed it. I went from literally 30 alarms on 2 different devices to 1 alarm on this app and 2 alarms on a separate device (Iโ€™m an extremely heavy sleeper and I donโ€™t trust Iโ€™ll wake up from just the sound of my phone).

ORIGINAL: Love this app. Was consistently sleeping through my alarms or turning them off in my sleep. This has really helped me actually wake up to my alarm.

I found a bug where the sound turns off if you turn off your phone when the camera is up for the QR code. I emailed the support and they responded that the bug has been fixed in Beta mode and will be released with their original app in a few weeks. So far even with the bug I havenโ€™t slept through a single alarm.

Overall very effective app. I give 4 stars only because you cannot link your Spotify to choose a song for the alarm. I think you can link Apple Music to it I just donโ€™t have that.
