## What is Flow?

HOW TO USE FLOW ALARM:

1) Place your Flow Dock across the room from your bed

2) Set your wake-up time in the app

3) When the alarm sounds, get out of bed and tap your iPhone on the Dock to dismiss it

Flow Alarm tracks your sleep patterns and records your sleep sounds — including snoring and sleep talking — using your phone's mic so you can understand and improve your nightly rest.

If you want to finally stop oversleeping and wake up on time every single day, Flow Alarm will get you there more reliably than any other alarm.
We aren’t another gentle alarm app full of snooze buttons. 

We built a stupid-simple physical system that forces you to get up. You still have to do the work of getting out of bed, but we’ll give you the hardware and intelligent sleep tools you need to build a consistent wake-up habit and better rest for good.

If you have any ideas or questions, please email us at team@flowalarm.app.

### 1/5 — Great Idea, Bad Execution

*2026-08-13, version 1.1.9*

The alarm works great. but for how expensive it is plus the yearly membership, it doesn’t work nearly as good as it should. The app blocking doesn’t work, and that was one thing i bought it for. I’ve tried everything and even reached out for assistance over two weeks ago and never got a response from their team. Wishing I would have tried a different brand without as many glitches in app and at least a customer service that responds within two weeks.

### 2/5 — When it works it’s good

*2026-08-13, version 1.1.9*

When it works it’s good but has not been reliable. There have been several mornings I wake up late late because no alarm went off. Extremely frustrating.

### 1/5 — Set alarm for 6:15am — just went off at 9:25am

*2026-08-11, version 1.1.9*

This application is wildly buggy and extremely unpredictable. In concept it works great, but the reality is it never really actually works when you need it to especially for something important like waking up. I found myself setting five other alarms simply because I did not trust this app.

### 4/5 — Works but glitches

*2026-08-06, version 1.1.9*

It works well does its job but usually it never plays the full audio just keeps starting over or reverts to the basic loud alarm instead of the audio I selected. Besides that it does its job well

### 3/5 — Stopped suddenly

*2026-08-06, version 1.1.9*

Was set up and working then all the sudden one day it logged me out and was no longer set up. Would not let me back in that night so did not get to use it in the morning and my apple alarm clock didn’t go off. Finally was able to get back in but had to fully set it back up.

### 1/5 — glitchy asf

*2026-08-04, version 1.1.9*

the alarm kept playing like 4 times and i couldn’t turn it off unless i deleted the app, good invention terrible execution

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK!

*2026-07-27, version 1.1.9*

This is an extremely frustrating product/app.. the very first morning after setup, it said "wrong dock" and WOULD NOT turn off my alarm!  I had to restart my phone, then the alarm continued going off, until FINALLY it scanned the dock successfully 5 minutes later.. so yeah, I guess if you're looking for a SUPER frustrating experience to ensure you're awake every morning, this is your product.. Then, when I had previously selected to allow my weather app during restricted times, it won't open it!  Despite it being selected as "allowed" & showing in the list of "allowed apps" !!!  So I had to scan the dock AGAIN to turn off blocking, so I could check the weather!  And big surprise, IT. WOULDNT. WORK. AGAIN. !!!!  took 4 or 5 times of rescanning process for it to actually acknowledge my phone.. TERRIBLE PRODUCT & APP!  Additionally, there is constantly a red notification dot in setting unless you PAY to upgrade to more features.. that is an extremely shady feature to include, bc we all know that a notification icon is about enough to drive a person crazy!!  DO NOT RECOMMEND!  Save your $$$$$ !!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-21, version 1.1.9*

This company needs to get a grip. Ordered it in March, didn’t receive it more than a month later, emailed them multiple times, never responded, charged it back on card, that got their attention so they finally sent the product. Once I got the product, I still don’t feel better about spending the money because it doesn’t work! Alarms don’t stay set, they delete randomly and frequently, the main features are behind a pay wall that isn’t advertised. Final straw was an alarm set for 7am went off at 11:48am while I was at work. Made my phone completely useless for an hour while I figured out how to get around the alarm because I didn’t have the scanner with me. Deleted the app and will never use the product again. Hopefully the people in charge figure out how to run the company/app.

### 1/5 — Too many malfunctions

*2026-07-16, version 1.1.9*

Genuinely an awful purchase. There have been numerous occasions where there have been random duplicate alarms going off at times that I did not set. Also the “dock” does not work about 1/4 times so the only way to turn off the alarm is to shut down my phone.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, abysmal customer service

*2026-07-16, version 1.1.9*

The alarms don’t stay. I will set my alarms and check back later when I go to sleep to make sure they’re set and they won’t even be there and it’ll show “you have no alarms, set an alarm to get started.” My alarms disappearing and not going off has made me late for work more than once. Your alarm settings also will not save/stay and will revert to the original base settings. All I got from customer service when I brought up these issues was “keep your app updated.” Great idea, horrible execution. I requested to make a return and get a refund well within the 30 day window, and it’s just crickets now. Don’t waste your money on this product or app.
