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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Colors *2020-11-05, version 3.6* Colours are to bright ### 2/5 — Barely good enough *2020-03-09, version 3.4* JUST barely good enough.. can only set one alarm at a time.. really? And you can’t even label them. Plus! The app has to be OPEN in order for the “vibrate silent” part of this app to function properly... BUT you want my money? For a basic low grade alarm? Can’t you just get a job like the rest of us and make apps for fun? Like a hobby or somethin. ### 2/5 — Stop doing that *2016-08-13, version 3.0* I only give it 2 stars because your asking for a rating before I even get to use it. Opened it up to set an alarm ### 2/5 — Confusing menus *2016-02-09, version 3.0* Once you set an alarm, I can't find where you can edit it or delete it. If that were clearer, this app would be great. As it is now, I can't use it. ### 2/5 — Beware! *2015-11-23, version 3.0* Beware: This app starts up the first time with a voice loudly babbling about the app. Do not download and open this "do not wake your sleeping partner" alarm app next to your sleeping partner because they won't be for long. ### 2/5 — Won't stop ringing. *2015-09-04, version 3.0* It has a bug where it won't turn off until I close out of the app manually. Really annoying since the whole reason I got it was so that I wouldn't wake up my husband. It ends up ringing again when I think it's safe to put on our nightstand. ### 2/5 — Start off Bug-gy *2015-07-02, version 3.0* The tap not working in the tutorial.. ### 4/5 — I thought it was TIME for a change *2015-05-12, version 3.0* This app is cool, colorful and interactive. I use alarms for more than just waking up. The snooze feature is great, but I wish it had a custom setting for the time selection for your snooze intervals. It looks great on my iPhone 5c. This app works better than the alarm on my phone, in my opinion. Finally a vibration alert instead of a distracting tone! ### 4/5 — Awesome *2015-04-07, version 3.0* Great app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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 ### 1/5 — No deal *2020-09-09, version 3.4* Terrible ### 1/5 — Silent alarm means no alarm *2019-09-09, version 3.3* I was hopeful because this is a great idea but unfortunately the silent alarm (vibrations and lights) did not go off. Thankfully I set a back up alarm on my phone. ### 1/5 — Glitch City *2016-11-03, version 3.2* This app is working great. Then the update came along and made it very glitchy. Now my alarm goes off one hour ahead of time and there's no remedy for it and it will often continuously bus until I open the app some of the features of turning the app off in the home screen or no longer available. I am currently now looking for a new app to use as this one has now become a nuisance ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-08-13, version 3.0* This app didn't work on my phone. Perhaps it's just me. ### 1/5 — Terrible Bug *2014-11-29, version 3.0* Keep turning it off but the alarm won't reset so it just continues to ring. Needs fixing. ### 1/5 — horrid app glitch 😹 *2014-10-07, version 3.0* This app glitches and glitches but it doesn't let u set more than one alarm and is so quiet ### 1/5 — Unusable due to crashing *2014-07-15, version 2.3* I just downloaded this app, and as I was going through the tutorial, it brought up the apple screen like my phone was shutting down. I eventually got it to go back to the lock screen. Now every time I open it to try and set an alarm, it crashes in the same way. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Nice app but can you add more settings *2023-07-27, version 4.7* Can you add seconds on the clock ### 5/5 — The best app *2020-10-21, version 3.6* This is the best app wham you want the best sleep just going to sleep awesome 👍 💕 ### 5/5 — Good *2016-10-21, version 3.2* Good ### 5/5 — Mr *2016-09-22, version 3.2* Awesome app. "Vibration only alarm" is godsend. ### 5/5 — Lets see *2016-05-30, version 3.0* I haven't used this app yet but I'm nervous and excited because o have read lots of bad and good reviews so I'm not sure yet ### 5/5 — Gesture alarm *2015-08-15, version 3.0* Пока неплохо !!!
