I love the different voices you can pick for the assistant (I can have Rick Sanchez insult me for snoozing? What a way to start the day!) It doesn’t kill my (very old) battery immediately. Buuut the glaring issue is the alarm stops ringing once you open it to solve the problems - so there’s no actual incentive to not just turn the screen off and go back to sleep. The alarm sound should continue until you finish solving all the problems (or at least give you the option for that). Also an option to set how many problems you want to solve, which I didn’t see? Looks like there’s only two required. That’s few enough I’ll solve them and fall right back to sleep, even if it continued blaring in my face until I complete them. Do not underestimate how hard some of us are to actually wake up and get out of bed lol. Please consider adding these more annoying features because otherwise the app is amazing but for now I have to find a new one 🥲 ### 3/5 — I want to leave a 5 star *2024-10-13, version 51.1* I really want to leave a 5 star review but my biggest issue with the app is that it doesn’t work like the alarm built into iOS works. If I didn’t have to leave the app open every time I wanted to have an alarm…but amazing design, seamless layout, great development. If y’all can make it work without opening the app, I will leave a 5 star and fund some coffee. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-08-16, version 49.3* Really satisfied ### 5/5 — Five stars! *2024-08-12, version 49.3* This app gives you free points to write a five star review. It is so kind as to fill in the following review: This app rocks! I am a deep sleeper and since I have downloaded this app, I have yet to sleep through it! It's great for getting you up in the morning and making you think so you don't go back to sleep. ### 4/5 — I wish it had the same annoying sounds as the regular loudest alarm *2024-07-20, version 49.3* I like to get up to random sounds each day, but the normal alarm is easily shut off. This one isnt, but the sounds are less diverse! ### 5/5 — My fave alarm *2024-07-15, version 49.3* I love it! Such a great idea ### 5/5 — Best alarm clock app!!!!! *2024-07-08, version 49.3* Hands down the best most helpful way to wake me up. I have such a terrible time doing so ### 5/5 — Review *2024-07-07, version 49.3* The great app makes sure you wake up ### 5/5 — Great alarm app *2024-07-06, version 49.3* This app is a good one love the different voices ### 5/5 — Wonderful Alarm App! *2024-05-24, version 49.3* Love the calming music and how solving a few math problems helps me wake up and avoid the deadly trap of snooze!! ### 5/5 — Best App to Wake up *2024-05-11, version 49.3* Best thing ever ### 5/5 — I Want Espressos! *2024-04-23, version 49.3* Math Alarm, just told me to rate this 5 stars, so I rate it 5 stars! ### 5/5 — . *2024-04-02, version 49.3* Awesome ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2024-02-11, version 49.3* 5 star it is such a good alarm and it helps me get up in the morning ### 4/5 — Ok overall *2024-02-03, version 49.3* Good app but doesn’t actually let you use music. I tried to download music but it wouldn’t work. It lets you know if your phone is about to die. Overall a good app. ### 5/5 — It’s helpful *2023-12-29, version 49.3* Lots of different modes and scares me enough to wake me up which is good ### 3/5 — Works, but I little annoying to handle *2023-12-15, version 49.3* It doesn’t pick up on my voice very well when I’m giving the math answers ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t click to solve the problem *2025-04-23, version 54.0* You can’t click to solve the problem unless you write give u, which then gives you options:/ ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-05-18, version 44.2* Could not get to recognise what I was saying. Had to delete to get alarm to stop. Very annoying. ### 1/5 — Worst math alarm ever *2020-09-29, version 43.0* It was good when I downloaded it but later the microphone shut off and I couldn’t use it. And the worst part is that the alarm did not go off!!!! I was late for school and I’m deleting this app for good. ### 1/5 — Why did I waste my time *2019-09-16, version 33.0* It worked the first day but after that it didn’t go off and I thought maybe I was doing something wrong so last night I checked the instructions did everything that said, I left my battery on fool percent and everything else it said to do and still it didn’t go off in the morning so I’m in a rush, it’s ridiculous I’ve just wasted my time on this stupid app you definitely should not get this app it’s just a waste of time ### 1/5 — Can’t type in answer *2019-09-03, version 33.0* Nowhere to enter the answer ### 1/5 — Can’t listen *2019-01-22, version 33.0* I’m trying to give them the answer but they always mistake me tremble app ### 1/5 — Horrible *2018-09-18, version 29.0* Ok to start off, this app is horrible. I figured out that you have to leave the app on all night. Then when I woke up, the app seemed to silence all my other alarms making me late. Also right when I clicked the app to see what was wrong, it started making a loud noise and it was the alarm clock, which was two hours late. And finally, I have a big family and I can’t have loud noises like that. It still makes sound even when my ringers is on silent. I forgot something, when I say the correct number, it says I am incorrect and I usually have to repeat my self a few times just to turn off the alarm. This is such a bad app. ### 1/5 — I hate the app *2016-09-13, version 2.0* You have to leave your phone on all night and it overheats and it dies and it spams your phone only like five times if it is off it only woke me up 3 times out of the fifty times I have used it I hate this app no offense to the creators they probably worked really hard but why don't they make it so you actually wake up on time and you can turn of your phone without having to leave your phone to overheat and die I did not like the app and don't recommend getting get a better one that you can turn of your phone and still get woken up I have woken up more times with my regular iPhone alarm it also sometimes shuts off already and gives me espresso points for nothing I personally hate the app I would give it a 1 out of 10 that is how much I dislike this app once again I am sorry to the creators and this is my opinion it could not be yours but I do not recommend this app at all ### 1/5 — Langues : "Français, ..." *2015-12-25, version 1.0* Et bien non. Cette application ne propose pas d'option pour passer en français. ### 2/5 — It's not what you think *2025-04-15, version 54.0* The app is useless. All you have to do is just close the app. Swipe up. No need to bother with math. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super helpful! *2025-01-27, version 53.0* I like this app a lot, it actually helps me wake up! I do wish that the alarm would play when the app isn’t open, but I do appreciate that the app at least reminds you to keep the app open. ### 5/5 — :) happy *2024-11-24, version 51.3* i really love it tbh ### 5/5 — Fun! *2024-11-04, version 51.3* It helped me wake up on time and not fall back asleep ### 5/5 — Idk how to answer the questions *2024-10-28, version 51.3* Good app, but I can’t figure out how to answer the questions. There is no where to type and when I say the answer out loud it doesn’t do anything. Only rating 5 stars to get the reward ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2024-10-23, version 51.3* Really good little alarm once you get into the routine of opening the app before you sleep it’s ideal ### 5/5 — Works great but.. *2024-10-22, version 51.3* Is awesome however I wish apple didn’t require developers to have the app on all night. ### 5/5 — It’s great! *2024-10-14, version 51.1* Thanks for a great app! ### 5/5 — Godlothos *2024-09-30, version 50.3* Love this ep ### 5/5 — Review *2024-09-07, version 49.3* Good ### 5/5 — Fastest I ever got up!! *2024-08-26, version 49.3* When I say I got up immediately I mean it this is a life saver🙂 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
