Other times it didn’t sound at all. ### 2/5 — Literally doesn’t even work *2022-03-26, version 2.1.2* Been trying for 5mins to test it but the alarm wont even go off ### 4/5 — Unique app, but needs better instructions. *2021-12-12* It has a pretty interface. The options are not very intuitive. It played the music from my Apple music app in testing mode, but did not play the music when the time to alarm arrived - that is, until I discovered from another review that you must click the “Start” after choosing the time. I have not been able to toggle off the vibrate on alarm. However, despite those issues it is the only app I have found to sound an alarm via Bluetooth. By the way, to “Snooze”, when it alarms tap “stop”, then tap +1,+3,+5 or+10 from whichever set of 2 times you have previously selected (AND tap start again). More trouble than just a snooze button, which would be a preferred option. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Earphone Alarm Issues *2021-11-15* This app meets a specific need I have, to play an alarm in just my earbuds instead of on the speakers as well. However, when you set the alarm music the only option you get is to choose from Apple Music selections, but then the app tells you that you can’t use Apple Music. (Even if the song is downloaded to your phone locally.) There seems to be no way to select a music file that is physically downloaded to the phone, instead of using Apple Music selections. ### 3/5 — Does what it needs to do but beware *2021-05-30, version 2.1.2* The alarm does work and rings only in your headphones, which is perfect for if you need to get up without waking other people beside you. Don’t forget that you have the leave the app open otherwise it won’t work. HOWEVER, i had a full charge on my phone before i went to bed, left the app open for it to work and the app drained my battery overnight. I woke up and my phone was at 5%. If you have a newer phone this may not be a problem but if your phone’s a few years old beware! ### 3/5 — It does what it says but there needs to be improvement *2021-03-17* I love the fact that I can use this alarm with my sleeping headphones. However, it would be nice to have some type of notification with a stop or snooze button appear when the alarm goes off. I’m using other sleeping apps to help me stay asleep and it takes me forever to go back into the app to stop the alarm. Other than that, it’s fine. ### 4/5 — Works well with Bluetooth headphones *2020-11-12, version 2.1.2* I needed an alarm clock that works with wireless headphones. This does and the selection of sounds is nice. ### 5/5 — Sleep music *2020-10-21, version 2.1.2* Is there anyway a timer could be put in sleep timer so it fades out after a period of time Thx Mike ### 5/5 — Awesomeness! *2020-09-24, version 2.1.2* The only alarm to work with Bluetooth headphones! Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wont work *2026-05-15, version 2.2.1* The only thing that works is the ads and they dont have any sound ### 1/5 — Terrible alarm *2026-05-04, version 2.2.1* No instructions and zero intuitive logic to setting alarm. Every alarm is a mystery as to if it will go off or default to a previous time setting. Worthless. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2023-07-11, version 2.2.1* I decided to get the app bc I wanted to fall asleep while listening to music. When I opened the app there wasn’t any explanation or help at all and it’s very confusing ### 1/5 — Alarm *2022-05-05, version 2.1.2* Rubbish ### 1/5 — hi *2021-10-30, version 2.1.2* horrible ui ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-07-28, version 2.1.2* My phone speakers stopped working and i downloaded this app so they can play on my bt speakers, it only works when u have your eye on it, if u intend to fall asleep this darn app will sleep with u I missed work and appointment a few times before writing this review Stay away! ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-03-07, version 2.1.2* I’ve never left a review just saying that to start. I tried songs that were from Apple Music and got the message sorry we can’t play songs from Apple Music ok so downloaded it so maybe that work ... ok tried a song I had that’s not on AM from years ago,same message .. so basically saying no songs work 👍 ### 1/5 — The alarms don’t work!!! *2021-01-07, version 2.1.2* I can’t figure out how to get the alarms to actually work. Too bad because this could be a great app! ### 1/5 — Worked once *2020-12-08, version 2.1.2* Unreliable and unstable. Don’t use if this is your only means of waking up in the morning! ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work. *2020-09-21* The alarm doesn’t go off.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-08-27, version 2.2.1* Started using this when Headphone Alarm stopped working. Thus is the only app that plays through your earphones so that you won’t disturb others when you have to wake up early. ### 5/5 — Works very well *2024-08-10* Works great with my earbuds! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2024-01-26, version 2.2.1* I think most of the negative comments are people who’ve not set the alarm correctly (it is a little more complicated than most) but i’ve never had a problem. Couldn’t live without it! ### 5/5 — Not perfect but close enough *2023-12-09* I use a iPod touch 5G for my alarm. So this alarm working on this old girl is perfect. I have a Bluetooth sleep mask that works perfectly. Sure it's a little glitchy but what I need it to do it is just fine. Oh, BTW, if you have a newer device, go get Ear Alarm. That's the version of this for newer iOS devices and, last I looked, actively supported. ### 5/5 — Really helpful *2022-10-12, version 2.1.2* i take the bus every morning to go to school and it has helped me so much waking up without disturbing others ### 5/5 — Perfect for ‘In Ear’ alarm… *2022-06-02, version 2.1.2* I work in a care home where medication needs to be given on time at different times but without upsetting the patients with an intrusive alarm, this app is perfect for that… Connects to Bluetooth earpiece effortlessly… Easy to use and set up, four different timings allowed and numerous sounds to choose from… ### 5/5 — fukushima nobutaka *2021-01-25* 目覚まし時計アプリ無料 ### 5/5 — Great app, works amazingly *2021-01-04* I tend to not wake up on my alarms laving my family awake instead. I wanted to talk to my friend in a different time zone, but not wanting to wake up my family I went to find an app. This app was perfect for the job, and has so many more features than I thought it would, and they work too! I love how I can use my own music and the presets to wake and fall asleep to. I highly suggest this app. TL;DR Works as advertised, and has many cool features. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-11-16, version 2.1.2* Great app to wake up through headphones and not wake up your family members!! ### 5/5 — Best! *2020-10-22, version 2.1.2* Very useful app! Has improved so much over the years. Easy to use interface. I love using this on the bus and when I don’t want to disrupt people with a gazillion alarms! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
