Preset Alarms
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback - Glow Alarm wakes you with light from your screen, so the app has to be open overnight. That’s why you start Sleep each night instead of alarms switching on by themselves. You can still save one alarm for office days, one for working from home and one for weekends, and pick the right one at bedtime. For one-tap setup you can also add a widget to iPhone home screen. Tapping it opens Sleep with that alarm ready. If you have any further queries or feedback please email us on support@glowalarm.app
Scam. Don’t buy!
Response from developer
Sorry the wake-up light didn’t work for you. It’s definitely there: the light runs from your screen (or flashlight) and starts before your alarm. For it to come on, leave Glow Alarm open on the Sleep screen after tapping Sleep. If you lock your iPhone or switch apps, the alarm still sounds, but the light can’t run. If it still doesn’t work, email us at support@glowalarm.app and we’ll sort it out. Refunds are available via reportaproblem.apple.com.
Didn’t work
Response from developer
Thank you for letting us know, and I’m sorry for the scare. Glow Alarm can’t turn off or change your iPhone’s other alarms. Our own alarm uses the same system alarm as the Clock app, so if everything went quiet at once, an iOS setting is the most likely cause. It is worth checking: iOS settings -> Sounds and haptics -> ‘Ringtone’ volume slider and (if you are on iOS 27) also the ‘Alarms and Timers’ slider. If these are off/low, alarms may not sound. Please feel free to email support@glowalarm.app and we’ll help you get to the bottom of it.
I want this to work for me

Thanks for your feedback. - The wake-up light begins before the alarm time (default 15 mins before). What might have happened is that you set an alarm for just a few minutes in the future, in which case it will already be in the ‘sunrise’ mode. Thanks for raising this, as we’ll make this a little more clear on the sleep screen. - For the light to work, the app needs to be left open overnight. To reduce battery consumption, we do have an optional ‘sleep screen blackout’ feature which will black out the screen while still being on the app. The alarm sound (but not the light) should work even if you accidentally locked your phone. - We would also very much like this to work for you! Please do not hesitate to email us by pressing ‘Send Feedback’ in Glow Alarm settings. We’d be very happy to help with any aspects of the app - and always open to making improvements based on user feedback!
