Works for Me
I’ve been using this app for 11 years and it has been great for me. I don’t always like to wake up when I have to but this has made it much easier than waking up with adrenaline streaming through my system.
Works flawlessly
Have been using this app for years. Great way to wake up with gradual increase in light output and birdsong. Helps me get out of bed feeling refreshed.
Great free sunrise alarm
I have been using this for years. It is a great slow wake-up alarm with sunrise effect (great for dark winter mornings) and dawn-chorus bird sound effect. I use it on iPad but works on iPhone too, on bedside table.
Great app but needs a visual update
Love the function it wakes you up very naturally but would love to change at least the clock font to modernise it slightly
Love it - except
Wish you could choose the font size and type. Current font is too ‘fat’ to make out the difference between some numbers through sleepy eyes. Also if I use it on an iPad, I can’t choose to have the entire background get lighter, not just the size of an iPhone background. Otherwise, I love it and use it daily.

5 Stars BUT
You can’t turn the sound alarm option off. Defeats the purpose for my needs - also an easy fix on their part but no...
Could be great
Every night you have to reset this thing. I’d give it 5 stars if you could set it and not have to worry about it
Nice Idea - Too Many Flaws - Unreliable
Love the idea but the flaws short circuit the benefits. There’s no way to turn off the time light while sleeping so I have to put the phone face down so my sleep won’t be disturbed which means the light alarm is useless. But I was using it anyhow for the bird alarm, until this morning. This morning I tapped the screen for snooze (just a corner because the phone is face down to handle the first flaw) and the app never unsnoozed. Turns out the app put up a modal dialog wanting me to rate it and the alarm was off when I needed snooze. Dumb move given I wound up sleeping too late because of that. The combination of these flaws make this app unreliable. And the tragedy is that the flaws are design choices that don’t need to be there. Hope the developer fixes the flaws and good luck! For now I need a workable light alarm clock. I’m going to shell out the bucks to buy a physical dedicated light alarm clock that doesn’t have these flaws today.

The birds are authentic
There are times when I think my alarm is going off only to realize it is the birds outside my window. It is both a good thing (as it is a natural wake up call) and an annoying thing (on some days I want to sleep in)!
works well but night mode needs a fully black background
works well but night mode needs a fully black background. Would be nice to integrate a weather app upon turning off alarm
Not worth it
No difference in functionality between the free version and the paid. Setting max brightness for wake up means you need to sleep with it at max brightness. Both brightness and volume of audible alarm do not remember the setting day to day. Both light and sound need to remember where user wants them to start and be able to increase in brightness and volume gradually. Hitting snooze should not eliminate the vibration alert at the actual set time. Should also have a STOP or END button, not a double tap to end as it’s very easy to double tap and end when You only want to snooze. This is a very very basic app for a premium price.

OK app
Simple and works OK. Sometimes it resets the brightness level on my phone display in general. And it will keep nagging you to rate the app, which is pretty annoying. I’m hearing impaired so I needed something to wake me with light. Light is not nearly as effective as an actual sound alarm, though—I have slept right through this light “alarm” several times. If you are capable of hearing a sound alarm, don’t waste your time on this.

Light alarm
Great, lovely alarm! Only quibble is the relative silence if one has mute turned on. This is unfortunate but likely hard to avoid.
Otherwise truly, this is an alarm I can live and work with.

Solid App
Works as designed. I'd prefer a more gradual increase in light. I find it's a little choppy. But nice app. Really like it. Use it everyday as my alarm. No issues.
Perfect!
I use a light alarm when I am home. It’s a more gentle wake up, for this heavy sleeper. This is my travel companion! Works reliably. Easy to use interface. I do recommend it, often IRL.
Alright but expensive for limited features.
Would be nice if you could turn off the screen and still have the flashlight come on for the alarm.
Darkroom interface would definitely be nice for making changes or setting up when the room is already dark
The fact that it automatically bumps the brightness from 1 to (a blinding) 50% automatically when exiting the clock mode is ridiculous. Something that ruins the experience or at best causes great apprehension to using the app, despite the great benefits.
Love the idea, can definitely be improved.

Yep
Been using this for around 5 years. No need to change.
👍👍👍
Really lovley to wake up with. Uses a fair bit of battery tho cos you have to leave the screen on for it to work.
Best alarm
I have been using this alarm for years now and actually don’t even need it anymore. I have used it enough that my body just wakes up a little before the actual alarm goes off.
My wife is a sleep specialist and says the research to back up that this sort of alarm is the best for your physiology and sleep cycle.
I have talked about this alarm and some of my middle school students have downloaded it and say they like it.
