### 5/5 — My Alarm Clock

*2025-10-11*

That’s great for me to hear!

### 5/5 — The gesture

*2025-06-06, version 4.9*

I love gesturing!

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2025-02-19, version 4.9*

I have to wake up a 5:45 every morning but the alarm keep waking me up at 5:50 I know it doesn’t seem to matter if it’s only 5 minutes later but then I arrive to school later and it causes me to be late.  I even tried 5:40 and I still woke me up at 5:50

### 2/5 — Never ending alarm

*2025-02-17, version 4.9*

This app was great and then….. I’m not sure if there was an update or what happened but, now the alarm does not shut off. I can swipe the button a 100 times and it will still keep going off. Today there was no off button to be found.I have to delete the app to get it to shut off.

### 5/5 — Nice app but can you add more settings

*2023-07-27, version 4.7*

Can you add seconds on the clock

### 1/5 — Something real fishy

*2022-10-07, version 4.6*

If u have the app running u will hear a Chinese chant over and over again… something demonic from their false religion or something else it repeats over and over again u can faintly hear it it plays on your headset speaker or on Bluetooth air buds I troubleshooted numerous things and yes it’s this app… wonder why they are trying to do. But I’m covered by the blood of Jesus Christ so the Lord rebuke u!

### 3/5 — Nk

*2022-09-21, version 4.6*

There is a weird subtle human voice while you have the app on with the AirPods.

### 3/5 — I used it for 1 night only

*2022-01-28, version 4.5*

I was looking for an alarm that allows vibration instead of noise, I have to admit this alarm works fine in that way. But it drains your battery, in less than 7 hours it took 60% of my battery. So I deleted it.

### 1/5 — Nice in theory...

*2021-07-08, version 4.1*

Could not get the alarm to turn off kept vibrating then loud music played and flash light came on YIKES !!

### 1/5 — VOICES COMING THROUGH

*2021-03-29, version 4.0*

i used to LOVE this app, but last night i had some two male voices speaking in a language other than English come through my speaker while the app was open.  once i closed it - GONE.  SO WEIRD i immediately deleted the app
