The ads just somehow open the App Store in the middle of the night rendering this app useless. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Alarm doesn't go off *2014-02-10, version 3.5.5* This used to be a great app but once Apple upgraded the OS, the alarm no longer works. The app will only go to an ad and not set off the alarm due to the auto-lock on the phone. Until they update this app to work with the new OS, choose a different alarm app. ### 3/5 — UPDATE NOW!!!!😡 *2013-09-21, version 3.5.5* This app is ok to bad. Wanna know y? Because when I set my alarm for every morning and I don't press any of the advertisements and I wake up like 5 minutes before it's supposed to go off and the app is closed out and when I unlock my iPod, I'm lead to an untitled non-loading web page in safari. Fix it NOW!!!! By: erox02 ### 1/5 — I don't like it *2013-08-04, version 3.5.5* I do not like this thang because I sat it and it did not go off and then I capt on sating it to a difrent time to make shure it did it deedent go off n it deedent go off ### 4/5 — Need a timer *2013-05-15, version 3.5.5* Awesome app but like the guys before me said can we get a timer to turn of the light and save battery ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2013-05-08, version 3.5.5* Doesn't work when you switch your I-pad off. Not like the old one. So you have to leave your I-pad on all night which runs the battery down ### 4/5 — Good app *2013-02-23, version 3.5.5* Overall I am pleased with this app. The only complaint is there is no "reset" setting to restore defaults; moreover, when you may want to return to the "night sky" or "stars" pattern that is there upon the first run of the app, you cannot get it back once changed to either custom image from your camera roll or custom color created from the palette. Tip: to remove ads from free version, turn in airplane mode and disable wifi. Plus, you won't be receiving any annoying late night calls/emails/texts, etc. ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2013-01-28, version 3.5.5* It is pretty good... My only compliant... If u want to call it that... There should be a timer that u can put on there to lock it after so long.... So that u don't waste ur battery in ur device. ### 2/5 — Not so impressed *2012-12-06, version 3.5.5* The phone gets hot leaving it on after 2 hours. ### 1/5 — Alarm doesn't go off *2012-11-08, version 3.5.5* It's as simple as that: I set the alarm, it doesn't go off. It used to work, but something must have gone wrong with one of the updates. And, yes, I did all the troubleshooting such as making sure I have AM/PM correct, making sure it's not trying to play a bad sound file, upgrading to the latest app version (which now has ads btw), etc. I'll be deleting this and getting a different alarm clock, one that works. I see I'm not the first to write a comment about this same problem. The app makers should fix this, or Apple should take it off the App Store. It makes no sense to have an alarm clock that doesn't function as one. ### 3/5 — Good night lite *2012-11-06, version 3.5.5* Awesome app would be the best if it had a multiple alarm feature then i would definitely purchase ### 2/5 — Good-- when it works *2012-10-18, version 3.5.5* Before the update it was a good, functioning alarm. After the update, the alarm refuses to go off in the morning. For the third time this week, my alarm did not sound to wake me. If you're looking for a good, musical alarm, go elsewhere. If you want an unreliable, musical alarm, this is for you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Loose the Ads *2021-08-17, version 3.8* How can I get rid of the ads ### 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. ### 1/5 — doesn't work in background mode *2014-08-04, version 3.5.5* if you forget to have the app open when you turn off the screen alarm won't go off. ### 1/5 — Deleted my playlist??? *2014-07-26, version 3.5.5* Shuffled music well, but after a week of use it deleted my waking playlist and crashed when I tried to change the setting to a new one. Also got too bright too quickly. One tap brought it to full brightness, but it took dozens of swipes to make it dark. I would have put up with that if it had actually worked. ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2014-06-05, version 3.5.5* My alarm doesn't work and it scared me when the night light shut off < not funny > ### 1/5 — WORST APP I HAVE EVER HAD *2014-03-29, version 3.5.5* I UAVE NEVER ENCOUTERD SUCH A BAD APP I HIGHLY SUGGEST NO ONE DOWNLOAD THIS APP👿👿👿👿I HATE THIS A APP👿👿👿👿 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The BEST *2020-10-26, version 3.8* This is the best clock app I use this every day,use iphone clock alarm with this app ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ *2020-05-22, version 3.8* So I wanted a night light for my bedroom coz I get soo scard from the scary legend of the bunny man and I don’t want to ask my mom and dad to sleep with me coz I don’t want them to know that I have been watching scary stories on YouTube so I wanted a night light then I saw this app I thought it was just a classic clock and I hated to always sneak in my big bros room in the night to See the time since he has a clock to I got it and then I saw it shin win my room like a real night light love th App I always turn it off when I get sleepy BEST APP YOU MUST MUST GET IT ### 5/5 — Great *2015-09-17, version 3.5.5* I love it, I like how it tells the time too! ### 5/5 — Good night light *2014-04-17, version 3.5.5* Very good app it workers tell I fall asleep then shuts off so my power dose not die😃 ### 5/5 — JeremyC *2014-03-20, version 3.5.5* AWSOME !!!
