Limits due to iPod Touch hardware:

If you are displaying seconds, please let your iPhone or iPod Touch sit on the dock and keep it charge when run this application.

### 4/5 — Works fine

*2019-09-19, version 3.8*

Obviously if the screen is on all night you will need to plug the phone in !

### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage

*2016-10-01, version 3.8*

Apparently this alarm needs to be the active app that you last used, or else it won't go off. Ridiculous! I was late to work because of this thing. Sort of defeats the purpose of an alarm doesn't it?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-06-17, version 3.8*

The alarm doesn't even go off unless the app is running. Completely drains battery because of this. Not worth wasting time on.

### 1/5 — Dr

*2016-05-31, version 3.8*

App is the worst. It won't run in the background so it runs your battery down. It has to be on screen to work and with this current version, it cuts off randomly. 
Don't bother with this app If you don't want to be late to work.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2016-05-10, version 3.8*

Useless

### 1/5 — The developers of this app are jerks!

*2016-01-13, version 3.7*

I used to love this app, but now it is broken - it crashes without ever opening.  I have reached out to the developers of the app multiple times for an explanation, but they can't be bothered to reply.  I was about to upgrade to the paid version - which is still for sale - but now?  Like hell I will.
