But after I skip signing in, it forces me to pay ☹️. Please fix this because I don’t want to pay for the app. ### 3/5 — Ios requirement *2026-07-31, version 1.2.44* Ios26 for an alarm hell nah, id stay at ios 18 ### 1/5 — Pay *2026-07-30, version 1.2.44* All the different features seemed really good however it is ridiculous that you have to answer a survey for 10 minutes just to be faced with an expensive paywall! ### 1/5 — takes money wasted your time *2026-07-29, version 1.2.44* waste of 10min signup ### 1/5 — Subscription *2026-07-27* I really spent 10 minutes to customize everything just to see that there is no free option of use. idiots ### 2/5 — Too annoying *2026-07-27, version 1.2.44* I love the idea but there’s some kind of bug or something where 100 alarms will go off one after the other and you have to time it just right to press the “snooze” button. I like the idea but it’s too buggy and too annoying to deal with first thing in the morning. ### 1/5 — Most features are paid *2026-07-26, version 1.2.44* U have to get premium in order to just get through the first sign in process. ### 1/5 — did all that work for nun *2026-07-26, version 1.2.44* it’s not free don’t waste ur time like i did ### 1/5 — It’s not free *2026-07-24, version 1.2.43* It’s not free:) You should pay from the beginning It’s just a waste of time ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas et fait payer *2026-07-22* Cette application ne fonctionne pas en fonction de votre version IOS. Ce ne serait pas grave si on l’apprenait avant de payer 🙃 ### 1/5 — Got charged with “Trial” *2026-07-22* I selected trial, but I got charged upfront 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as promised *2026-07-21, version 1.2.43* Two of the main selling points of the app do not even work . You can turn the volume down on your phone easily just using the side button, and the alarm sound is silenced. Also, I chose reading the Bible verse aloud for my challenge. I clicked “submit” without reading it to see if it works. It says “analyzing your voice, checking for accuracy” and then it told me “great job, you passed, alarm turned off!” I didn’t even read anything Literally worse than the built in apple alarm clock. Not worth the money ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NOT FREE *2026-08-28, version 1.3.12* NOT FREE ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-22, version 1.3.11* Wasted my time asking all these questions even made me set an alarm just to tell me I need to pay to use all of it ### 1/5 — no way *2026-08-15, version 1.3.11* im not paying 30 dollars for an alarm 😭😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Can’t use it without paying *2026-08-11, version 1.3.1* I’m not gonna pay a yearly subscription of 30$ for a freaking alarm clock ### 1/5 — Paid subscription for an alarm *2026-08-09, version 1.3.0* This app makes you jump through all these loops and holes, makes you answer all these questions, wastes a bunch of your time, just to have the whole thing be a SUBSCRIPTION???? Are you kidding me? I dont know what foreign bot accounts are giving this 5 stars, but the reviews definitely need to be reviewed by apple ### 1/5 — Might As Well Charge When You Download App *2026-08-08, version 1.3.0* Charging $46 a year for an alarm! ### 1/5 — Expensive and doesn’t work *2026-08-05, version 1.3.0* Doesn’t capture push up properly, and refusing to stop the alarm after 4-5 attempts of 15 second push up. ### 1/5 — BETRUG *2026-08-05* Nach der Anmeldung sollst du natürlich direkt ein Abo abschließen. Wurde natürlich NIE erwähnt, bis man die Anmeldung abgeschlossen hat. Löscht euch ### 1/5 — me ilusionaron *2026-08-05, version 1.3.0* malditos, me prometieron de todo q ya me iba a poder despertar temprano y que su aplicación si es efectiva y blablabla para que al final tuviera que si o si pagar para usarla INCREÍBLE NI MI EX ME MINTIÓ TANTO ### 1/5 — The app stole my last 30 dollars ☹️ *2026-08-01, version 1.2.44* I canceled my subscription after the free trial ended and the app renewed and stole my last 30 dollars and I was going to be a returning customer but I don’t know anymore ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — lovely *2026-08-11, version 1.3.1* Won't turn off, I have to cover my ears to make the coffee that it requires in order to shut off ### 5/5 — good alarm clock *2026-08-07, version 1.3.0* They should put this app on every single Apple phone so I can get up and go to football practice to school and a work ### 5/5 — Great when it works *2026-07-29, version 1.2.44* I love the concept, but unfortunately the AI really struggles to figure out if I completed a task. It can take up to twenty scans of an item or my made bed and it still won’t turn off. On days it works though I’m extremely happy with it. ### 5/5 — So sick *2026-07-02, version 1.2.41* Ive been telling everyone about this app, its actually great. It is so annoying every morning ringing at 6am and then i gotta do my pushups, but it works amazing! ### 5/5 — I wish it was free *2026-06-25, version 1.2.39* I wish there was a free option ### 5/5 — FIRST TIME *2026-06-25, version 1.2.38* ILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-06-24, version 1.2.38* I’m amazed it is so coooollll ### 5/5 — Ts tuff *2026-06-24, version 1.2.38* Ts tuff ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-06-24, version 1.2.38* I think it’s very helpful ### 5/5 — Legendary app *2026-06-24, version 1.2.38* This app will get you up weather you want to or not --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
