So slow
Sometimes it’s so slow to load, which can be super frustrating at 2am when you need to make adjustments immediately so you don’t lose your mind.
This app is so bad
Honestly, for the fact of how expensive the Hatch device is and then the subscription to actually use it, the quality of this app is atrocious and ridiculous in this day and age. Trying to set the alarms, I have to completely close and open the app 3-4 times just to get it to work. I do love the Hatch but this app is embarrassingly bad

Offline situation
I got this for Christmas in December, it worked perfectly until I stopped using it for a bit, and now it won’t let me get it back online. I’ve tried everything and it’s still not working like it used to…
I think we’re past the issues w/ the iOS 26 jump
8/2/26
I must be in another loop where I have to update my phone. Hatch has disconnected. I cannot get it connected to WiFi to connect the app. It’s frustrating that is so depends on the wifi connection. Since I wake up at different times week to week, I just shut off the alarm with the hard switch. It wil still my windown routine at 9:00 PM, and the two other ones I set up after. I can still have my waves overnight. But still, it’s not working as intended. I hate that 1 update or me owning an SE Apple phone causes me to have an app breaking experience. Sigh.

Update since the developers reached out to me: Five stars, all is well. I have Rise set to wake a little later just in case. But so far Hatch has woken me up every day. I didn’t even remember that I was having an issue!
I like the cue setting. I’d like it more if we could rotate through presets like we do with the bedtime routines. Sometimes I just want to push play.
I have 3 bedtime routines and I love it. One I use every night, the others are a different vibe, brightness and length if I want to switch it up or use on the weekends. Having a strict 10 min + 10 min routine is helping me get sleepy. Then on the weekends, I can relax a little longer.
I didn’t know if this would end up feeling like a gimmick. I think the jury is still out on things like blue blockers, but as someone with ADHD, 4 concussions and a decade of not knowing any of the science at all- adding this to my life has been a game changer. I smiled every night when I headed to bed the first week. I kid you not. It gave me a routine, a ritual. I can’t believe I survived my 20’s. And 5 1/2 years of chronically, miserably sick. It’s so nice to feel like my life and my heart and my peace are falling into place. I was lost for so many years. And now we have such an exchange of ideas and can live better, simpler, happier. And Hatch has become a joyful part of that.

I’ll be nice because I have a feeling iOS 26 has screwed up my phone. Apps keep crashing. Same with Hatch last night. But what Hatch just did was not the alarm setup I had. There was no light. Only gentle piano music. I had the light set for Iike 27. The alarm had no light. Sigh. Now I’ll be late for work.

Great Alarm, Terrible Delivery
I actually really enjoy this alarm clock. It’s easy to use, the sound quality is excellent, it looks great on my nightstand, and the sunrise light feature is fantastic. The hardware is genuinely excellent.
The subscription is what ruins it. This is already an expensive alarm clock, yet so many alarm sounds and features are locked behind a monthly fee. You’re pushed into starting a free trial with your credit card, and when it ends, the free experience is extremely limited.
It’s also frustrating that the free and paid content is mixed together, making it difficult to tell what you can actually use without subscribing.
I wanted to love this product, but I’m honestly considering getting rid of it because of the subscription model. The hardware deserves 5 stars. The greedy subscription ruins it all.
