Either way, sometimes an alarm will go off and I’m unable to open the app to shut it off. So it repeats about every two seconds with no end. It doesn’t matter if I swipe up and close the app, or if I restart my phone. It still continues. The only way to stop it is to delete the app from my phone, thus deleting all my saved alarms. I’ve had to do this twice in the last week now. ### 2/5 — Fix the crash! *2026-06-13, version 7.3.1* Love that the app is loud and wakes me up, that is when it don’t crash! Made me late to work this morning bc it didn’t go off! Fix the bugs please!! ### 2/5 — Fix the crash! *2026-02-08, version 7.2.4* Love that the app is loud and wakes me up, that is when it don’t crash! Made me late to work this morning bc it didn’t go off! Fix the bugs please!! ### 2/5 — Good app bad ad choices *2025-10-14, version 7.2.4* I like the app for helping me to wake up but I will not use an app that has ads that suggest adultery and pornography. I was assaulted by an ad this morning suggesting those. ### 2/5 — Dauernd Absturzmeldungen *2025-06-17* An sich ne gute App, aber jeden Tag wird mindestens 5 mal ne „Absturzmeldung“ angezeigt als Push Mitteilung. Das nervt so krass. Ich überlege ernsthaft die App deswegen zu deinstallieren bzw ne andere App zu finden, die ne ähnliche Funktion hat. Behebt dieses Problem mal! ### 4/5 — Sounds *2025-05-13, version 7.2.4* This app is overall great but I don’t know how to change the sound of the alarm so if anyone knows how to do that, it would be lovely 😊 I would definitely recommend this it really helps me get up in the morning ### 4/5 — Bis heute funktioniert *2025-02-21* Heute hat der Wecker versagt, er sich vor der Klingel Zeit abgemeldet und nicht geklingelt, mein normaler Klingelton war aus und daher hat es auch nicht geholfen das er auf meinem Display anzeigte gefühlt 50 mal das er eigentlich Klingeln müsste und ich hab die Augen daher viel zu spät geöffnet, hoffe das wird verbessert oder passiert nicht so oft ### 3/5 — Doesn't always work *2025-01-18, version 7.2.4* This app is usually very good and it helps me wake up, but every once in a while the alarm just won't go off. ### 3/5 — Annoying notifications *2024-07-18, version 7.2.1* First off, this app is one of the few things that actually gets me to stay awake. It’s great and it’s free! The only issue is that it sends me so many notifications and they are all about the app crashing. Apps crash all the time so I’m uncertain why I get notifications about this. How do I stop this? Or will there be an update to fix this? ### 2/5 — Stopped working with the new Update *2024-06-03* Now there are like 45 second long adds and it is not possible anymore to stop the alarm ### 1/5 — Constantly Crashing *2024-04-26, version 7.2.1* This app is terrible in nearly every way possible, at least at the free level. All throughout the day and night it sends alerts that “ Background Mode” has been disabled. Which is really inconvenient, for an app that needs to run in the background. When the alarm does go off and you complete the task, an obnoxiously loud ad immediately begins to play as well. Terrible. ### 4/5 — Helps me wake up! However some tech issues *2024-04-24, version 7.2.1* I’m a super heavy sleeper, so having this thing scream at me and require me to shake my phone for 30 seconds helps me actually wake up for my day. It’s really changed the way I take on my day bc I can normally count on it to wake me up. My only complaints are that if you don’t purchase the “full” app, you get bombarded with 2 minute long ads after the alarm turns off. Very annoying unfortunately. The other complaint being that sometimes the app staging up crashes or just doesn’t work like it’s supposed to. Most of the time it works well though! If they tweaked it a little then this app could be amazing and truly game changing. ### 4/5 — Good… so far *2024-04-07, version 7.2.1* I logged onto the app fine and I haven’t tried it yet, but I am ready to. I like how while you’re shaking it if you try to turn the volume down it just doesn’t let you so that you can’t like fall back asleep. Some people would be annoyed that, but I don’t think I will be. There’s not many sounds, but you can play music lol ### 3/5 — it’s definitely an alarm *2024-04-06, version 7.2.1* the sounds are very effective while also being quite annoying, the only and i mean really only complaint about this app is that when youre shaking the alarm, the sound doesn’t stop. genuinely, its less annoying to uninstall the app everytime i have an alarm because its either snooze the weak apple alarm or spend time shaking and tapping the same part of the screen (that blends in with the green shake) for ‘dont wake spouse’ (which also should be a permanent silencing feature, instead of going silent for two seconds and then immediately blaring again even if your finger is essentially glued to the screen from tapping as fast as you can to stop the alarm.) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t really work *2026-06-19, version 7.3.1* Whatever ### 1/5 — To many adds *2026-05-19, version 7.3.1* The adds are so bad that you can shut off the alarm if you have multiple set. ### 1/5 — Wechselt *2026-03-21* Die den Bewegungens Wecker benutzen sollten Arlamy benutzen da kannst du Mission und aufgaben erledigen ich hab die arlamy hab schon sehr lange und sie ist perfekt ### 1/5 — Amazing concept, trash execution *2025-12-11, version 7.2.4* I’ve had this app for two days and it has crashed over 10 times. I tested it the first day and did not watch the ad. So the ad was still there when it went off the next morning preventing me from using “The don’t wake my spouse feature.” And then this morning because it crashed so many freaking times it didn’t even work this morning. I woke up an hour later than I was supposed to. Not what I need if I need to be able to depend on it. ### 1/5 — Crashes ruin it *2025-09-28, version 7.2.4* The people who made it are obviously stupid. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-08-22, version 7.2.4* This really needs to be fixed and shouldn’t be an issue at all. It constantly crashes and isn’t reliable Totally useless because it crashes! ### 1/5 — Constant crashes defeat the purpose *2025-07-24, version 7.2.4* This app has crashed at least 8 times since I installed it two days ago. It crashes more than any iOS app I have ever used. It just crashed again as I’m writing this review! When it crashes, the alarm settings you chose are overridden and instead you get push notifications about your alarm. Luckily I still had other alarms set with another app because there’s no way a push notification was going to wake me up. This app is useless for me with the constant crashes. Uninstalling now! ### 1/5 — Does not work!!!! *2025-02-12, version 7.2.4* I want my money back! ### 1/5 — This app *2024-10-30, version 7.2.4* This app does not work. I turned on my alarm and it didn’t go off. ### 1/5 — ANNOYING *2024-10-29, version 7.2.4* IT IS SO ANNOYING ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good jolt. *2026-01-15, version 7.2.4* I had to wake up every day beyond early for a while. It got to a point I would doze through the standard alarms. Not this one! ### 5/5 — Why I love this product *2025-05-13, version 7.2.4* This is a great app because you have to wake up fully to turn it off ### 5/5 — Great alarm app for heavy sleepers! *2025-01-24, version 7.2.4* I had horrible problems with oversleeping through many different alarm apps and I love the don’t wake my spouse feature! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2024-08-07, version 7.2.1* Melhor despertador, o único que me faz acordar mesmo que eu não queira. ### 5/5 — Sehr guter Wecker ich lösche ihn nur jeden Morgen *2024-08-07* Er erfüllt seinen Sinn ich wache allerdings genervt auf jedem Morgen lösche ihn und lade ihn abends wieder runter tja aber er macht seinen Sinn und zweck ### 5/5 — MARAVILHOSO *2024-04-05, version 7.2.1* tenho um sono muito pesado mas estou acordando na hora certa com ele (desinstalo e instalo ele todo dia pq ele é realmente alto e chato) ### 5/5 — Você não vai conseguir dormir *2024-03-26, version 7.2.1* Se o objetivo é acordar.

Agora são 23:55h e estou instalando de novo para ele me acordar 4:15h. ### 5/5 — Gut *2024-02-14* Erfüllt seinen Zweck und hilft ### 5/5 — Motion Alarm Clock is pretty cool *2023-09-24, version 7.2.1* This clock, you have to move the device around for the alarm to stop he has different ringtones and you can customize them and do some motion and there you go pretty cool app ### 5/5 — MUITO EFICIENTE *2023-07-06, version 7.2.1* Instalo e desinstalo todos os dias porque só te acordar pela manhã é ele não te permite abaixar o volume e nem desligar o telefone e tem que sacudir 30x para parar a única saída e desinstalar ele mas te acorda 🙏🏽 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
