Works well, but... Needs some tweaking
Best free app I found that works on an old ipad mini. NO ADS that keep the screen lit up! YEY. But a grey to white screen is not really a sunrise simulator. NOTE that the light STARTS coming on at the alarm time you set, NOT before, so if you want to wake to bright light by 6am set the alarm to start 30min before with a 30 min light time. Unfortunately sound will start same time, so I have it on silent and a separate alarm for the sound

Great App but...
This was a really awesome app that helped me wake up refreshed every day. However, due to IOS 11 being released I can no longer use the app. It is too outdated and needs to be updated ASAP.
Плохо
Не работает с ios 11 😭 обновите приложение!!!
Dim
I woke up on my own 10 minutes past the alarm time. It was on, but you couldn't tell. I think it might be fine in a completely dark room, but we have night lights that cast a little bit of light.
Super buggy!
I really liked the Relax sound but I couldn't get the dark screen button to work, no idea what's happening with this app but it's unusable.
Seems cool but doesn't work
I can set the alarm and choose sound but I'm never able to press "activate dark screen mode" and therefore can't use it.
Doesn't work with current update :(
Can't turn on an alarm any more...liked it when it worked....
No rising light in the morning
The light did not come up in the morning... The sound played but not light.
Simple, but does what it says
A bit simplistic, but it does what I was looking for: at a pre-arranged time, brighten from dark to bright light. It worked well on my iPad once I figured out that the alarm time was when it would start brightening, not when it would be fully bright like other apps I had seen. Also, I had to move my reminders so that one was not open on the screen, as that prevented it from working also.
There is some light even when in "dark mode" (i.e. overnight), but it is very minor; I actually found it was useful as just enough to make out the furniture if I got up in the middle of the night. I think that is an app limitation, at least for very simple apps.
Great app for the price. Thanks!

Does not work too well
In fact it wakes you up in the middle of the night with untimely lighting.
Фигня
В фоновом режиме не работает
Light wake alarm clock
I've read the review on the update for the darker screen but to be honest I see no difference when it's pitch black you still get a glow from your screen
Save your money
My 'Nature Light and Sound' clock broke and I really missed it. I thought this app sounded very similar but is not. It does light up but not enough to wake a person up unless they are very light sensitive. Fortunately, my backup alarm does the job.
I don't like the iPad screen being "on" all night. That has to have a negative long term impact on the screen but I have no statistics to back that thought up.
I don't like this app. I don't see how it would help anyone that wants a gradual light wake up.

Needs updating
Great idea but doesn't work so can only give 1 star.
As mentioned by other reviewers the glow in dark mode is too bright next to the bed. It used up about 30% of the battery on my iPad Air which is no problem. The instructions say turn the brightness up to max and yet in the morning the screen doesn't get up to full brightness. It didn't wake me probably because I had gotten used to the bright screen during the night.
Missed potential.

Ehh not worth the money
Does what it says but is terrible for battery life and the "off" screen is still very bright at night.
This has great potential
If a couple of issues could be fixed, it'd be just what I need. First, "dark" mode isn't completely dark, so if you can't stand a little light while you sleep, this won't work for you. Of course, you can't cover it, or you won't see the light when it's wake-up time. Second, the lovely sounds were inaudible at alarm time, though they played loudly enough during setup.

not much good
It doesn't get light enough to wake you up
Truly Disappointed
This application was a complete failure. Set the alarm and selected the "Activate Dark Screen mode" and stayed dark until the sound I had selected started to play. The volume on the sound was so low I could barely hear it and I had the volume on the iPad at maximum. Finally the backup alarm did not go off either. I want my money back!

Rip off
Don't be fooled! This app does not wake you to a gradually brightening yellow sunrise-like screen. Instead the screen brightens from dark grey to light grey. Not a great way to wake up. Do not buy.
Amazing update
Previously this app was pretty unusable due to the brightness of the 'dark' screen at night. But now, it has been updated to make the screen a lot darker during the night, which makes a huge difference, and this app is now an amazing alarm which helps me wake up peacefully. Well worth it!
