I want this to work for me
Response from developer
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!
No gradual increase in brightness

Thanks for raising this, as we'll make this a little more clear on the sleep screen. We will take into consideration your feedback on the pricing. Also please do not hesitate to reach out via the ‘Send Feedback’ button in settings. We’re very happy to look into things further. We’d like to make it work for you.

Should not have been released

If there is anything specific you’d like to feedback on, please email us on support@glowalarm.app As with any app, there may be the odd bug that may have impacted your experience. We take reliability concerns seriously, especially for an alarm app. As you will know, specific user feedback is genuinely appreciated in such cases. We rapidly address such feedback where there is a material bug (or simply feature requests). We would be glad to hear from you. I would highlight that we and many users use Glow Alarm on a daily basis; it generally does what it says on the tin in terms of turning your iPhone into a wake up light. We are regularly releasing new features such as sleep sounds and overnight sleep recording and will continue to strive to improve the user experience and feature set.
Great for waking up early mornings
Good concept, needs work
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for your feedback. A new update (2.0) has been released which addresses some of this. The alarm will now act more like a native iOS alarm. This means that, if you accidentally leave Glow Alarm or the phone locks overnight, the alarm will still sound. It also guarantees bypassing through do not disturb or any other focus mode (just like a normal iOS Clock alarm will). For alarm sounds, more will be added soon, but in the meantime there is a new option to use the default iOS alarm ringtone. There is also functionality to upload any mp3 of your choice. Note however, that if you want the sunrise light features, the app will need to be left open overnight. Try enabling the ‘sleep screen blackout’ feature; this will black out the screen, meaning battery usage is minimal and the screen appears black until wake time.
Great app
Did not work

Hi, sorry about your experience. The latest versions of the app significantly improve reliability and will almost certainly address this.
